Though founded in North Carolina in 2014, Grund America nevertheless traces its roots much further back. It is the North American division of Czech home textile company Grund. Originally family-owned and founded in 1990, the brand has always been all about providing organic bedding and bathroom accessory options to consumers.<\/p>\n
Currently, Grund is a force to be reckoned with in the European market. And apart from the US, it exports products to over 40 other countries.<\/p>\n

The Grund America Savannah sheet set—better known as the Savannah Sheet Collection—was launched in Chicago, at the 2018 International Home + Housewares Show.<\/p>\n
This review is extra special, because we did actually try out these sheets! You’ll see photos and observations of Good Night’s Rest team member Tephy throughout this piece, as well as a verdict below.<\/p>\n
As a relatively new product, how does\u00a0the\u00a0day to day performance of the Grund America Savannah sheets measure up to its impressive manufacturing and construction details? Let’s find out together.<\/p>\n
<\/a>What Is\u00a0the Grund America Savannah Sheet Set Made From?<\/h2>\nThe fabric used is\u00a0100% GOTS certified<\/a> organic cotton with a 300 thread count sateen weave<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe high quality sheet set is available in five standard US sizes: twin, full, queen, king, and California king. It comes in four neutral earth tones: ivory, driftwood, slate grey and white.<\/p>\n
As an added bonus, other Grund America products—from bath rugs to throw blankets—are available in complementary color-coordinated organic fabrics. Makes it that much easier to achieve that luxurious hotel-like look and feel in your own home.<\/p>\n
As for the general crafting and construction, Tephy notes that the stitching is “basic single needle with quality thread.”<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Grund](\"https:\/\/goodnights.rest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/grund-america-savannah-sheet-set-06-e1553832429168.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
What Is the Difference Between Conventional Cotton and Organic Cotton?<\/h3>\n
Conventional cotton is considered one of the dirtiest crops. Although it is cheap, it is bombarded with pesticides and other harmful chemicals throughout the growing, processing and finishing segments of its production.\u00a0100% organic cotton is more expensive, but is more sustainable and gentler on the skin.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nIn particular, Grund America asserts that the organic cotton they use for their Savannah sheet set is as close to pure as they can get it: Chemical-free with no bleach, toxic dyes, or formaldehyde used.<\/p>\n
How Is 300 Thread Count Fabric Considered Luxurious?<\/h3>\n
Contrary to popular belief, higher thread count isn’t always better<\/a>. The ideal is actually a thread count somewhere between 200 to 400.<\/strong><\/p>\nThat Grund America did not attempt to inflate the thread count of their Savannah sheet set is a true\u00a0mark of a reputable manufacturer. Instead, they allow the “resort quality”—their words, not ours—fabric to do all the work of convincing consumers of the quality and luxury the product offers.<\/p>\n

King and California king sheet sets offer slightly larger pillowcases: 21 inches by 41 inches. Tephy tested out a queen sheet set, and she said: “The standard size pillowcases fit perfectly over my fluffy pillows.”<\/em><\/p>\nFitted sheets are come in different depths depending on the mattress size. Twin and full sheet sets have a 15-inch pocket. Queen, king and California king have a 17-inch pocket.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Is\u00a0the Grund America Savannah Sheet Set Hypoallergenic?<\/h3>\n
100% organic cotton that is not chemically treated is for all intents and purposes allergen resistant. <\/strong><\/p>\nThe breathable nature of the fabric also makes it much less likely to be a target for mold or mildew growth. It will also be easy to to manage bedtime if you sleep hot.<\/p>\n
Does the Grund America Savannah Sheet Set Smell?<\/h3>\n
According to our product tester: “No unusual smell.”<\/strong><\/p>\nThis is probably due to very specific and stringent quality control and safe practices. While “no smell” doesn’t always mean “no off-gassing<\/a>“, it’s probably safe to say that Grund America has it covered just the same.\u00a0The brand\u00a0 maintains the various certifications Grund America proudly enumerates: GOTS, Green Business Certified<\/a>, OEKO-TEX Standard.<\/p>\nSee Deals & Discounts on Grund America Savannah Sheets<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a>How Do You Wash the Grund America Savannah Sheet Set?<\/h2>\nThe care instructions are very simple: On a gentle cycle separate from the rest of your laundry, machine wash cold.\u00a0Unlike other sheet sets, you may use non-chlorine bleach. Finish by tumble drying on low.<\/strong><\/p>\nNote that dryer sheets and fabric softeners are not recommended.<\/p>\n
Tephy is all praises when it comes to maintaining these sheets! When we asked about the state of the fabric after she’d had the sheets for a while, she said: “Handfeel and sheen stayed the same after wash.\u00a0No pilling.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nShe did, however, have a curious reaction when we asked if any of the separates shrank after washing. “No,”<\/em> she said, “but I wish the flat sheet would shrink because it was oversized.”<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/goodnights.rest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/grund-america-savannah-sheet-set-04-e1553834401980.jpg\")
