If you've stacked a foam topper on your mattress, you probably know the morning routine. One corner of the fitted sheet has crept up overnight, and there's bare mattress staring back at you. This 6-piece set from CGK Unlimited is made for exactly that kind of bed. The fitted sheet has 21 inch pockets, and the reviews (more than 100,000 ratings at the time of writing, shared across every size and color of this set) mostly agree that it stays where you put it.
Built for beds that swallow normal sheets
The listing says the fitted sheet works on mattresses with pockets from 18 to 24 inches deep, with elastic running all the way around. CGK pitches it for pillow tops, memory foam, big mattress pads and 3 or 4 inch toppers sitting on top of a mattress.
Buyers back that up in different ways. One reviewer called it the deepest pocket they'd ever seen on a sheet and guessed it would fit the thickest pillow top out there. They didn't need all that room, but said it tucks in well and stays put anyway. Another said the pockets are so deep they almost cover their box spring and mattress together. A California king owner credits the deep pockets for keeping the sheet on their bed.
The most detailed story comes from a buyer with a 12 inch mattress. Their old sheets were sold for thick mattresses and fit at first, but after a few washes one corner wouldn't stay on, and they couldn't stretch them over all four. This buyer found these easy to put on, and they went over every corner. Another reviewer sleeps on an adjustable bed that raises at the head and foot, with a mattress just over 12 inches thick. They explained that unless a fitted sheet has a few inches to tuck underneath, it pulls loose every time the bed moves.
What comes in the set
You get six pieces, with these measurements from the listing:
- Flat sheet, 95 x 102 inches
- Fitted sheet, 60 x 80 inches with 21 inch pockets
- Four oversized pillowcases, 20 x 30 inches each
The fabric is polyester microfiber with a 200 thread count, and it's machine washable. The set carries the Made in Green by OEKO-TEX label. The grey shown here is the "06 - Dark Grey" color, and the listing offers sizes from twin up to split king and split head flex top.
The extra pair of pillowcases gets more love than you'd expect. A split king buyer called the four pillowcases a bonus you don't often get. A reviewer in Australia liked the pretty trim on the cases and how generously they're cut. Practically, it means one pair can be in the wash while the other is on the bed, or you can dress a bed that has four pillows on it.
How they feel at night
CGK describes this as the softest microfiber they've made, light and not crisp like cotton. Reviewers mostly use the word soft and leave it there, but a few say more.
One buyer started with just the pillowcases. Their Egyptian cotton cases ran too warm, so they were flipping the pillow every night. After switching to the CGK cases, both this buyer and their husband saw their Samsung watch sleep scores go up. They liked them enough to buy the full sheet set, and said the set came out of the wash and dryer without wrinkles or pilling.
Another buyer has lupus and said their skin reacts badly to a lot of fabrics. They called these the most comfortable sheets they've had and plan to order more sets.
On temperature, the reviews are realistic rather than dramatic. One buyer said they keep you cool through most of the night. Another described them as warm but not hot, and a reviewer in Mexico said they're neither too hot nor too cold. So "cooling" in the product title is fair, but these won't feel like a cold pack.
The complaints worth knowing about
Amazon's summary of the reviews says durability is mixed, with several customers reporting seams coming apart. It also mentions that some find the sheets thin. Even the happy reviewer with the deep pocket story said the sheets were thinner than hoped, but seemed well put together.
There are some quality control notes too. One buyer ordered off white and found it had a yellow tint, though they still liked how it looked. A split king buyer found a few faint oily spots on the sheets that didn't come out in the wash. The reviewer said the spots are hard to see once the bed is made, but you might not want to gamble on that if you're ordering a light color.
Who should pass on these
Skip this set if you want cotton. It's polyester, and while the listing claims it's even softer than cotton, it won't have that crisp, cool percale feel. It's also not for anyone who wants heavy, thick sheets, or who needs a set they can count on lasting for many years given the seam complaints. And if your mattress is a standard thickness with no topper, the listing is clear that this version is aimed at extra deep beds, so you'll have more pocket than you need.
Is it worth it for a tall bed?
If your problem is a fitted sheet that won't stay on a thick mattress or a mattress with a topper, the reviews make a good case for this set. Buyers with a pillow top split king, a California king and a 12 inch mattress that beat their old sheets all say it stays on, and you get two extra pillowcases on top of that. Just go in expecting a thin, soft polyester sheet, check the seams when it arrives, and you'll know quickly whether you got a good one.
