Which is better for hot sleepers?

The Eddie Bauer percale set. Percale is a plain, open weave that feels crisp and breathes better than the satin weave of the Milan set.

Is the 1,000 thread count worth it?

Thread count above roughly 400 adds little real softness, and satin weaves often inflate the number. Judge the Milan set by its 4.2 rating, not the count.

Percale generally holds up well to repeated washing and resists pilling. Satin weaves can snag and show wear sooner, so wash the Milan set on gentle.

Does the Eddie Bauer set fit a thick mattress?

Yes. It is sold as a deep pocket set, which is the main reason to pick it over the Milan set if you use a mattress topper.

The Milan King set is $59.99 at Wayfair as of November 3; the Eddie Bauer Queen set is $69.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond as of November 3.
