The naturally antimicrobial Second Skin Sheets set a higher standard for holistic wellness and better sleep
Imagine washing your sheets on a Monday afternoon. By Sunday night, those ‘freshly cleaned’ covers are scientifically proven to be teeming with invisible grime: the kind that clogs pores, triggers sneezes, and makes your bed smell like someone else slept in it.
In just one week, the average bed sheet accumulates up to 17,000x more bacteria than a toilet seat.
The best way to avoid this nasty buildup is to prevent bacteria from accumulating in the first place. Enter: Bearaby’s all-new Second Skin Sheets.

What Makes the Second Skin Sheets Different
- Actively clean themselves by eliminating 99.9% of bacteria
- Crafted with the botanical extracts of peppermint, mint, and marine proteins
- Regulate temperature with breathable, 100% bamboo fabric
- Designed to last for years without losing antibacterial power
The Science Behind Second Skin Sheets
Bearaby’s 100% bamboo fabric is cool to the touch and meets the industry’s safety benchmark with an OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification. As a result, this naturally cool bedding reduces the likelihood of night sweats (and their accumulation on sheets). The material is also highly breathable, allowing for better air circulation under the covers. The lower temperatures created by this natural regulation cycle lead to deeper, more restorative sleep.
Peppermint, mint, and marine proteins are naturally resistant to germs, so the team at Bearaby created a proprietary blend of the three and crafted their fabric with it. In fact, the Second Skin Sheets are clinically proven to stay 99.7% bacteria-free even after dozens of washes (as demonstrated by their ISO 20743 certification). The resulting sleep environment allows your skin to stay clearer, your lungs to stay calmer, and your bed to actually feel freshly laundered every night.
Picture This: A Night With Second Skin Sheets
Our first observation during the unboxing was that the Second Skin Sheets have a silk-like sheen to them that feels even better than it looks. We expected the fabric to smell minty, but to everyone’s surprise (and the relief of some), they are completely unscented. Smoothing them out over a mattress (in our office’s case, a couch) evokes the experience of leaving your bedside window open on a cool autumn night: the bedding felt crisp, clear, and begging to be slept in.
The easiest way to describe the Second Skin Sheets is with the delicious sensation of hopping into bed right after a shower. Every single night. Cool, anti-microbial, actively cleaning. Not to mention the chic palette of neutral colors they come in. They’re even visually refreshing.
For less than 75¢ per day, satisfied Second Skin Sheet customers have reported fewer bedding washes, an improved complexion, and reduced odors in bed. People with respiratory issues said they’ve stopped waking up congested, and those with shedding pets noticed a significant reduction in the presence of dander… even when animals slept with them.
Why We’re Day One Bearaby Fans
We first encountered Bearaby in 2018, when they released their sustainably produced, highly breathable, and demonstrably therapeutic knit weighted blankets. We aren’t the only fans. Over the years, they’ve caught the attention of celebrities, renowned publications (including New York Times & Women’s Health), and everyday consumers alike.
All that to say, Bearaby has been improving the world of sleep care for seven full years. The newly launched Second Skin Sheets are the culmination of thoughtful innovation, hands-on industry experience, and concern for their customers. We would not at all be surprised if a few awards are coming down the pipeline for them (and, as tends to follow, sold out colors).
