Which is better for hot sleepers?

The Eddie Bauer percale. Its crisp weave lets air through and feels cool to the touch, while jersey knit traps more warmth.

Which set includes more pieces?

Amazon Basics includes four pieces: fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases. Eddie Bauer includes three: a flat sheet, an envelope sheet and one pillowcase.

Will the Amazon Basics set fit a thick mattress?

Yes, up to 14 inches deep. Measure your mattress first; deeper than 14 inches and the fitted sheet may pull off.

Percale generally holds up better over years of washing. Jersey knit is softer but tends to pill and stretch with use.

Is the Eddie Bauer set worth it over the cheaper Amazon Basics?

If you want a cool, crisp feel and a Queen bed, yes. If you want stretch, softness and a King set with two pillowcases, the Amazon Basics is the better buy.

Does either set come in colors other than white?

Both are listed in white only. Check the product page for other colorways before you buy.
