Choosing The Perfect Sheet Set
When considering which sheet set is best for you, it’s important to remember that the one-size-fits-all rule does not apply. Sleep is something we all do differently, and each person brings their own unique set of preferences to the table.
So, I’ve broken these ten sheet sets up into categories that highlight their best qualities so that you can better decide which one will be most compatible with your specific sleep needs!
Hotel Quality Sheets
Brooklinen
Okay, first up on the list is the Classic Core Sheet Set from Brooklinen. And as the name implies, this a great pick for folks in search of that classic, crisp set of cotton sheets. They are woven from 100% long-staple cotton, feature a very breathable percale weave, and a 270 thread count. So, they have a super soft and durable feel, but they are also very light and breathable.
However, the thing that sets this sheet set apart from the others we’re looking at here is its super crisp, hotel-bed feel. These sheets evoke a fresh, crisp feel that many sleepers might find when they’re on vacation. Of course, not all lodgings offer the same bedding, but long-staple cotton percale sheets like these are frequently featured in hotels.
Not to mention, Brooklinen offers this sheet set in fifteen different styles, including Window Pane, Oxford Stripe, and a variety of solid colors. So, sleepers looking to replicate that fresh, hotel-bed aesthetic have room to get a little creative.
For my full thoughts on this sheet set, check out my review of the Brooklinen Classic Core Sheet Set!
Pricing: These sheets range in price from $99-$149, depending on which size you choose.
Perfect for: Sleepers who love the fresh, crisp look and feel of hotel-bed style sheets!

Best Egyptian Cotton Sheets
Parachute
Okay, on to Parachute! Now, I’m looking at both Parachute’s sateen woven and percale woven sheet sets, which each offer a different look and feel thanks to their specific weave styles.
The percale offers a matte appearance, and it’s feels more crisp and cool, while the sateen (which is my personal favorite between the two) is much more silky and lustrous. But the thing that these sheet sets have in common is that they are both made from 100% Egyptian cotton.
Egyptian cotton is widely regarded as superior in quality because of its extra-long fibers. This extra-long fiber factor contributes to better durability, a softer feel, and an overall boost in quality. For these reasons, many sleepers look specifically for Egyptian cotton sheets. So, I chose Parachute because this bedding is a great example of how Egyptian cotton can serve to improve the look and feel a sheet, regardless of what the weave style is.
However, in my experience testing these sheet sets, I found the percale set to be more breathable and cooling, and the sateen set was better for keeping warm. So, that’s something to keep in mind (especially for you sleepers who run hot!).
To get the full scoop on both of these sheet sets, check out my full review of Parachute sheets!
Pricing: Price ranges from $109-$169 depending on which size you choose, and whether you go for percale or sateen.
Perfect for: Sleepers who prefer the soft durability that comes with extra-long staple Egyptian cotton!
Eco-Friendly Bedding
Boll & Branch
Here we’ve got the Solid Hemmed Sheet Set from Boll & Branch, which is actually the brand’s best selling sheet set. And, frankly, it’s not hard to me to see why these would be so popular.
They’re made from 100% organic, long-staple cotton, feature a sateen weave and a 300 thread count. So, they’ve got a light but sumptuous feel that offers a really inviting balance between cozy and luxurious. But something that I really love about these sheets is that they are eco-friendly and ethically sourced.
Not only the is the cotton used in these sheets certified organic, but these sheets are also a product of Fair Trade manufacturing. So, that means that the farming partners who harvest this cotton must be paid a living wage. Personally, I think that’s an important factor. Not to mention, even the gorgeous gift box that these sheets arrive in is made from recycled materials. So, folks who like to sleep green might be most compatible with this sheet set.
For every last detail on this sheet set, check out my full review of Boll & Branch sheets!
Pricing: Price ranges from $200-$295, depending on which size you choose.
Perfect for: The eco-friendly sleeper who loves a sheet set with a light and silky feel!
Boll & Branch are made from organic long-staple cotton which has a reputation for producing very soft, strong, and durable fabric. These sheets are woven with single-ply cotton into a 300 thread count, which the folks at Boll & Branch say is intended to create a “light and sumptuous” feel.
Best Luxury Sheets
Frette 1860
Okay, here we have the Doppio Ajour Sheet Set from Frette 1860. It’s sateen woven, so it features a very pretty lustrous sheen and silky handfeel… but Frette also brings something extra special to the bedding game.
Frette is a luxury bedding brand that started in Italy way back in 1860, and its linens have been featured in some of the most prestigious hotels in the world (and even in St. Peter’s Basilica!). So, this sheet set was designed to appeal to sleepers who are looking to boost their collection of luxury bedding, specifically.
The cotton that Frette uses is exclusively extra-long staple cotton — and, as I mentioned earlier, that “extra” does make a difference. The length of the fibers is one of the determining factors when it comes to sheet quality, so extra-long staple cotton is kind of a best case scenario. In the case of Frette’s Doppio Ajour sheets, the extra-long cotton fibers combine with the sateen weave to offer a soft, silky, and very durable feel.
These sheets also feature the brand’s signature double open hemstitch that borders the pillowcases and top of the flat sheet. So, these sheets are meant to evoke that high-end hotel look. So, if you’re looking to add a splash of elegance to your bedroom decor, you might want to see what Frette bedding is all about.
To learn more about this luxury bedding, be sure to check out my full review of Frette sheets!
Pricing: Luxury bedding does come with a higher price tag, so these sheets are the most expensive on this list, ranging from about $895-$1,150.
Perfect for: Sleepers looking to boost their collection of luxury bed linens!
Both sheet sets from Frette are made from extra-long staple cotton, which serves to boost the durability and softness of the fabric.
Best Value Sheets
Purple
Moving on to Purple’s sheet set! These are made from a blend of spandex and viscose from bamboo, and this combination of materials definitely sets this bedding apart from the others on this list.
The spandex gives them this super stretchy quality, which allows the fabric to flex with the mattress in a pleasantly unique way. And the bamboo is bringing all sorts of perks to the game as bamboo-based bedding is known for being extra durable, breathable, and moisture-wicking. Not to mention, bamboo is a sustainably sourced material, so green sleepers can also enjoy the eco-friendly element at play here.
In fact, the folks at Purple say that bamboo-based bedding makes for the best bedding, and many sleepers out there agree! However, bamboo bedding is often on the pricier side, which is partly why this set made my top picks… This sheet set is the least expensive set in this roundup.
Ranging from $99-$129, these sheets are such a good value. Many of the bamboo-based bedding I’ve tested has been in the $200 range (or higher), but make no mistake — Purple’s sheets don’t feel any less durable or cozy. So, if you’re looking for bamboo-based sheets (but you’re also not trying to break the bank), I would definitely give these a try.
Watch me personally test these sheets in my full Purple sheet review!
Pricing: $99-$129, depending on which size you choose.
Perfect for: Sleepers who love bamboo-based bedding, but are also on a budget!
These sheets are uniquely stretchy, moisture-wicking, and super soft — and they go great with a Purple mattress!
Smoothest Sheets
Casper
Next on my list is Casper’s Cool Supima Sheet set. Now, as the name suggests, these sheets are made from 100% Supima cotton which, similar to Egyptian cotton, is known for being extra soft and durable.
The Supima cotton brings some strong and cozy qualities to this bedding, but something I found to be special about these sheets is their super smooth feel. These sheets are percale woven, which usually produces a feel that’s more crisp than smooth — but these sheets offer a really cozy blend of both of those traits.
The folks at Casper say that their Cool Supima sheets offer a “sublimely balanced” feel, and I’d say that’s pretty accurate. One of the great things about percale is that it typically produces a sheet that’s more cool and breathable but, as I mentioned, also offers a feel that’s less smooth. That’s why one of my favorite things about this bedding is that the sheets feel cool to the touch and offer great breathability, but also provide a creamy-smooth handfeel.
So, if you love the cool, airy nature of percale, but want to make sure you’re not missing out on any smoothness, I’d definitely give these sheets a try. Oh, and you Casper fans might like to know that these sheets mimic the aesthetic of the Casper mattress. So, if you sleep on a Casper mattress, and you’re looking for a sheet set to (literally) match — this might be the bedding for you!
For all the details on these sheets, check out my written and video reviews of the Casper Cool Supima Sheet Set!
Pricing: Price ranges from $100-$170 depending on which size set you choose.
Perfect for: Sleepers who love the cool breathability of percale, but also like a nice balance of crispness and smoothness!
A soft, crisp feel makes the Casper Sheets ideal for those who like to sleep cool.
Best Bamboo Sheets
Layla
Next up is the Bamboo Sheet Set from Layla, which also happens to be the brand’s first sheet set. And I have to say — way to make a great first impression, Layla!
These sheets are made from 100% viscose from bamboo, which we saw in Purple’s sheets — but unlike with Purple, the bamboo in Layla’s sheets is not blended with any other material. So, we get to experience the bamboo in all it’s silky, lustrous glory.
Bamboo-based bedding often provides a pretty lustrous sheen, and a silky-smooth handfeel, and these sheets definitely offer both. The Layla sheets offer a luminous shine that enhances the elegant, body-conforming drape over your shape, and we’re still getting those specific bamboo perks that many sleepers look for. They’re extra breathable, durable, moisture-wicking, sustainably sourced, and very, very soft.
So, if you’re in the market for a sheet set made completely from viscose from bamboo, I’d heartily recommend giving these sheets a try.
For the full scoop on this bedding, check out my full review of the Layla sheets!
Pricing: Price ranges from $125-$225 depending on the size that you choose.
Perfect for: Sleepers who love the silky sheen and light breathability of 100% bamboo bedding!
The Layla Bamboo sheet set is made from 100% viscose from bamboo. For those of you who are a little unclear about the word “viscose,” it essentially refers to the process used to turn natural bamboo into fabric.
Best Linen Sheets
MagicLinen
Moving onto a totally different fabric and feel — I give you the Woodrose Sheet Set from MagicLinen.
These sheets are made from 100% linen which is derived from natural flax fibers. So, eco-friendly sleepers might like to know that linen is a naturally and sustainably sourced material. And because this particular bedding is not blended with cotton or any other textile byproduct, these sheets do offer a distinct feel that only pure linen provides.
Now, some of you may already know that linen is regarded as one of the most breathable fabrics out there, and it’s also known for its uniquely coarse texture. It’s got a gently massaging quality that is characteristic of this specific fabric, but MagicLinen’s Woodrose sheet set is stone washed.
Essentially, stone washing is a textile manufacturing technique that makes these sheets less coarse, and a little more soft and flexible. So, if you love the breathability and unique texture of linen, but wish the coarse feel were toned down a bit — I heartily recommend you give MagicLinen a try.
For my full thoughts on this bedding, check out my written and video reviews of the Woodrose Sheet Set from MagicLinen!
Pricing: Price ranges from $209-$309, depending on which size set you choose. However, sleepers do have the option to purchase individual bedding items separately.
Perfect for: Linen-lovers who enjoy the uniquely coarse texture of this fabric, but wish it felt a bit softer and more flexible.

Best Cooling Sheets
Saatva
Next up is a sheet set that’s particularly dear to my heart (because it’s on my mattress at home right now) — the Lofton Sheet Set from Saatva Dreams.
The reason these sheets are in my personal bedding rotation is because they keep me cool, and I am a very warm sleeper. But they’re also sateen woven! Personally, I prefer sateen bedding because it offers a very pretty luster, a body conforming drape that silhouettes my shape, and feels silkier as compared to percale.
However, one thing I don’t love about sateen bedding is that it tends to sleep hot. So, when I first tested these sheets, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they offer a light breathability that kept me cool throughout the night. They’re also made from 100% long-staple organic cotton so, despite their airy, lightweight nature, they are still strong and durable.
In my experience, the satin-like feel of these sheets actually contributes to a cool handfeel as well. So, sleepers who run hot and want a silky set of sateen sheets to cool them down — these might be the sheets for you!
For all the details on this sheet set, check out my full written review of the Saatva Dreams Lofton Sheet Set!
Pricing: Prices range from $125-$215 depending on which size set you choose.
Perfect for: The sateen-lover who also needs help keeping cool throughout the night!
Saatva sheets are woven from 100% long-staple organic cotton into a 300 thread count, which is intended to offer a feel that’s soft, durable, and breathable. They are sateen woven which means they are going to be a bit more silky in feel, and less crisp. Additionally, they offer a light, lustrous sheen rather than a solid, matte finish.
Garment Washed
Lime & Leaf
And last (but certainly not least) is the Garment Washed Sheet Set from Lime & Leaf. These sheets are percale woven, so they offer some breezy, cooling qualities. But because these sheets are garment washed, they feature an extra-soft, casually lived-in feel that separates them from the rest of the sets in this roundup.
The garment washing process (similar to the stone washing we saw with MagicLinen) is a technique used to enhance the softness and comfort of the fabric, while also giving it a uniquely ‘worn-in’ aesthetic. But don’t worry — these sheets are made from 100% long-staple Supima cotton. So, their worn-in feel is for comfort purposes, and does not mean they are any less durable.
If you’re having a hard time imagining what garment washed sheets feel like, the folks at Lime & Leaf describe it as, “how their grandmothers’ sheets used to feel — cool from the percale weave, and soft from many years of washing.” And I’d have to agree with that assessment! So, if you want to see what a garment washed feel is all about, I’d definitely give these a try!
For all of my thoughts on this bedding, check out my full review of the Lime & Leaf sheets!
Pricing: Price ranges from $164-$228 depending on which size set you choose.
Perfect for: Sleepers who love a cool set of percale sheets, and can’t get enough of that cozy, garment-washed feel!
Cool, crisp, and oh-so-soft garment-washed sheets offer sleepers a super cozy place to sleep the night away.
Final Thoughts
Well there ya’ have it, folks. Those are my top ten picks for the Best Sheets of 2019. But remember: There’s a big, wide world of bedding out there, and these are just ten of my personal favorites. So, I always encourage you to test bedding out whenever you can, and do as much preliminary research (by browsing Sleepopolis reviews!) as possible. This way, you can be sure that you’re not settling for bedding that’s not absolutely perfect for your unique sleep needs!
