The Testing

What Good Housekeeping Institute Put Our Sheets Through

Four categories of rigorous, independent lab evaluation. We submitted the sheets. They decided the outcome.

01

Thread Count Verification

Good Housekeeping Institute confirmed what we printed on the label is actually in the fabric. No inflating.

02

Wash & Durability

Multiple wash cycles under controlled conditions — evaluated for shrinkage and whether the fabric holds up or falls apart. They also conduct pilling resistance tests.

03

Hand Feel & Softness

Expert textile panels judged tactile quality — right out of the package and after repeated laundering. The kind of test you can't fake.

04

Fit & Dimensions

Does a Queen actually fit a Queen? Good Housekeeping Institute measured fitted sheet depth and pocket sizing. Because "deep pocket" should mean something.

What You Get

What the Seal Actually Means for You

Not marketing. Not a paid placement. Real testing, a real warranty, and a 115-year reputation on the line.

Independently Tested by Good Housekeeping Institute

The Good Housekeeping Institute evaluated our sheets on their terms — thread count accuracy, tensile strength, color retention, shrinkage after washing. We submitted the product. They ran the tests. We had no say in the methodology or results.

We Have Nothing to Hide

We pursued the Good Housekeeping Seal because we believed our sheets would pass — and we wanted you to hear it from someone other than us. That willingness to be independently evaluated is how we earn trust.

You Can Buy with Confidence

Most bedding claims are self-reported. The Seal means you don't have to guess, research reviews, or wonder if the quality matches the price. The work is already done.

1909 It has been granting the GH Seal to quality products since 1909 — over 115 years.

This Is Not Just Another Badge.

The Good Housekeeping Seal is one of the most coveted consumer trust marks in America. It isn’t bought. It’s earned - in a lab, by scientists and engineers who stand behind it with a money-back warranty.

Since 1909, the Good Housekeeping Institute has set the standard for what "quality" actually means. Not marketing claims. Not influencer endorsements. Lab-verified, warranty-backed proof.

Whether you're shopping sheets, duvet covers, or pillowcases, you'll find Seal-backed options across our core collections. Shop our Collection backed by GH Seal.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Good Housekeeping Seal?

The Good Housekeeping Seal is granted by the Good Housekeeping Institute — Good Housekeeping's independent evaluation lab. It has been testing quality products since 1909 — over 115 years. Products that receive the Seal have been physically evaluated by Good Housekeeping Institute scientists and engineers, and are backed by Good Housekeeping's limited warranty. It's one of the most recognized consumer trust marks in America.

Which California Design Den products have earned the Seal?

19 of our bedding collections across sheets and duvet covers carry the Good Housekeeping Seal. That includes Cotton Sateen (400TC through 1000TC), Egyptian Cotton (Percale and Sateen), Organic Cotton (Percale and Sateen), and Cotton Flannel sheet sets.

What does the Good Housekeeping warranty cover?

If any California Design Den product that bears the Good Housekeeping Seal proves to be defective within two years from the date it was first sold to a consumer by an authorized retailer, Good Housekeeping will refund the purchase price or $2,000, whichever is less — or, at Good Housekeeping's sole discretion, repair or replace the product. That warranty comes from Good Housekeeping. Not from us. Read more

What makes the Good Housekeeping Seal stand apart?

Most quality markers are self-reported or documentation-based. The Good Housekeeping Seal is one of the most coveted consumer trust marks in America. It can’t be bought. It must be earned - in a lab, by scientists and engineers who stand behind it with a money-back warranty. You can't apply for it. Good Housekeeping Institute evaluates the product on their terms, with their methodology, and they decide whether it passes. When it does, they put 115 years of reputation on the line.

Is California Design Den a new brand?

Not at all. We've been family-owned and operated for over 20 years. We're vertically integrated — we work directly with our factory in India and control quality from fiber to finished sheet. We've been selling factory-direct on Amazon, Target, Macy's, Walmart, Kohl's, and Nordstrom for years. The Seal just gives you independent proof of what our customers have known for two decades.

Can I trust products with the Good Housekeeping Seal?

The Good Housekeeping Institute's testing is independent — the brands being evaluated don't control or influence the methodology or results. The Seal and its warranty are Good Housekeeping’s way of standing behind the bedding, not ours.

Does the Good Housekeeping Limited Warranty cover commercial or rental use?

No. The Good Housekeeping Limited Warranty is designed exclusively for personal household use and does not cover commercial applications, including Airbnb rentals, vacation properties, or any business-related use. If you are a commercial buyer or plan to use the product in a rental environment, the warranty will not apply. Read more.
