Nestled among all the great fashion and beauty deals, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale actually has some excellent deals on home goods (that you can still get through Sunday night). Bedding is a particularly good buy, and several Strategist-touted brands (Parachute and Coyuchi) are available at the best prices they’ll be until Black Friday. But as it’s still sweltering outside, I recommend our Best in Class Tencel sheets from Sijo. In addition to feeling silky soft, they’re great for hot sleepers thanks to the eucalyptus-derived Lyocell fabric. “They’re so smooth and slippery,” says former senior editor Chelsea Peng. “I do cricket legs — when you’re under the covers and rub your legs together because you’re comfy — every time I get in because there’s zero snagging and they don’t feel sticky, unlike some other sheets I’ve tried,” she says, noting she can barely feel the difference in texture between her silk pillowcase and these sheets. And they do indeed keep you cool. “I hate sleeping with AC, even in the summer, and these feel like they somehow create an air pocket around you so you don’t overheat,” Peng says.
