In the market for a new twin comforter set? First you should get clear about what you’re buying, because the term means different things to different people. In our view, a twin comforter set should contain a minimum of two pieces: a comforter and a pillowcase or sham. More rarely, some sets will include additional pieces.
How do you settle on the best twin comforter set for your needs? Consider your aesthetic tastes, budget, and preferences when it comes to materials and feel. (For instance, do you want crisp cotton or soft, brushed microfiber?) Once you’ve gotten clear about your criteria, consult our roundup to get started with some stellar options.

How We Picked
First things first: The number one criterion for every selection here is the contents. At a minimum, every comforter set should include a comforter and a pillowcase or sham. If an item claimed to be a comforter set but didn’t meet this requirement, we nixed it.
Beyond that, we also considered the following factors:
Aesthetics
We included comforter sets that feature a variety of design options, from solid colors to stripes, floral prints, or other patterns. You should be able to find an option that jives with your aesthetic preferences.
Comfort
Comfort can come down to several factors including weight, material, and hand feel. It’s also subjective.
For example, some people prefer a heavyweight comforter, others want a lightweight option for warmer months, and so on. When it comes to materials, you might prefer cotton or be fine with polyester. Some people like a crisp feel, while others like their comforter to feel super soft and cozy.
We included a variety of options so you can customize the comfort to your preferences.
Cost
Twin comforter sets can range in price from less than $30 to around $100. We included sets that are mostly in the middle and lower end of that range. There should be an option for pretty much every price point.
Sleepopolis Buying Tips
How do you find the best twin comforter set for your needs? Start by asking yourself the following questions:
- What’s your preferred material? If you’re okay with microfiber/polyester, you’ll find more options. If you prefer 100% cotton or another specific material, that will narrow down your choices.
- What’s your preferred look? Do you want a floral print, a striped set, or a solid color? Different comforter sets come in different designs, so this can help you rule out certain options.
- What’s your budget? Twin comforter sets can range from less than $30 to nearly $100. That’s a big range, so determining your price point can help you clarify your choices.
A quality twin comforter set can pull together your whole bedroom and give your bed a cohesive look. To find the right option for you, think about your design preferences, your budget, and your feelings about materials (e.g. cotton versus microfiber). Before you know it, you’ll be sleeping soundly in an updated bed.
