The GOKOTTA 4-piece set is constructed from 100% rayon derived from bamboo, a material known for its high moisture absorption and smooth surface. Because these fibers are naturally rounder than cotton, the sheets offer a soft tactile experience that is often compared to high-thread-count sateen. The fitted sheet is designed with 16-inch deep pockets and includes elastic corner straps to help maintain a secure fit on thicker hybrid mattresses.
While the material is effective for heat dissipation, tests show that rayon fibers can lose a significant portion of their strength when wet. To maintain the structural integrity of the bedding, it is practical to use cold-water wash cycles and avoid high-heat drying, as excessive heat can make the fibers brittle over time. The "double-anchor" strap system provides a functional benefit by helping the corners stay in place during use.
Practical features for home maintenance include:
- Thermal regulation that helps manage heat more effectively than standard polyester.
- A 16-inch pocket depth that accommodates modern, high-profile mattresses.
- A smooth finish that reduces mechanical skin irritation.
Observations regarding long-term use indicate that the fabric may develop pills if used against rougher mattress protectors. Additionally, the material lacks the natural elasticity of synthetic blends, meaning it is more likely to show wrinkles if not removed promptly from the dryer. Because the fabric is susceptible to shrinking, following the manufacturer's specific care instructions is necessary to preserve the original dimensions.
Summary: This set offers high comfort for those who prioritize a soft, cooling surface, provided the user is comfortable with a delicate laundering routine to prevent fiber fatigue.
For those looking for a similar cooling experience with a different pillowcase configuration, the PHF 6-piece bamboo set offers additional bedding components.
