Materials: 100% organic cotton | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king, split king | Key features: Organic materials, Oeko-Tex certification, matte finish

Pros:

• Polished look with a long hem on the top sheet and pillowcases
• Durable and less likely to pill
• Designed to get softer over time as you use them

Cons:

• Not as affordable as other options on this list

If you’re willing to invest in an extremely luxurious pair of sheets, the Signature Hemmed Sheet Set from Boll & Branch doesn’t dissapoint. Made from 100% organic cotton, these sheets have a classic matte finish that feels like high-end hotel bedding. They’re naturally cooling in the summer, making them ideal for year-round use. And for easy bed making, the fitted sheet is designed with deep pockets so it fits most lofty mattresses including those with added mattress toppers. This set includes a fitted sheet with a 17-inch pocket, a flat sheet and two pillowcases (except for twin sizes, which only come with one pillowcase).

What our editors say: “I finally got my hands on a set of Boll & Branch sheets and they’re one of our favorite sets,” says Forbes Vetted updates writer Alexandra Garrett. “They’re light but densely woven with a matte finish that’s luxuriously smooth.” Other Vetted editors who tested these sheets described them as “very smooth” with “good breathability.”

Materials: 100% Supima cotton | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, queen, king, California king, deep pocket sizes | Key features: Oeko-Tex certified, wrinkle-free, deep pockets

Pros:

• Deep pocket option available for thick mattresses
• Wrinkle-free construction 
• Wide variety of color and size options (including deep pocket sizes)

Cons:

• Deep pocket options are more expensive than the regular sets

Most fitted bed sheets have a pocket that’s around 16 inches deep, but if you have a thicker mattress, you need deep pocket sheets—otherwise, you may find the fitted sheet slides up your mattress as you shift around at night. These sateen sheets come in special deep pocket versions for queen, king and California king beds, and they comfortably fit on mattresses up to 20 inches thick. They’re made from Supima cotton with a 450 thread count, and they come in a wide range of bright colors to match your bedroom. Plus, the fabric has a special wrinkle-free finish, so the sheets come out of the dryer looking neat and pressed. 

What the reviews say: A positive reviewer says, “I love these sheets. They actually fit my new deep mattress, unlike others that I have tried that claim to be ‘deep pocket,’ and they are silky-soft and so comfortable.”

Materials: 100% viscose from organic bamboo | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king | Key features: Soft sateen weave, choice of 11 colorways, Oeko-Tex certified

Pros:

• Soft fabric helps regulate temperature and wick away moisture
• Available with or without the flat sheet

Cons:

• Can be prone to wrinkling in the dryer

These silky-soft sheets are so good, they topped our list of the best bamboo sheets. They’re made with 100% viscose derived from organic bamboo. If you’re new to bamboo sheets in general, they’re incredibly smooth to the touch, and the sateen weave and 300-thread count of this set in particular make them even more buttery soft. Plus, viscose helps regulate body temperature by wicking moisture, making these sheets a good choice for hot sleepers. Quince offers this set with and without a flat sheet, along with a choice of 11 colors ranging from neutral to bold. The fitted sheet fits mattresses up to 16 inches deep, and right now you can get a pair for more than 50% off.

What our writers say: Forbes Vetted contributor Jessica Timmons tested these sheets and says, “I’m a big fan of bamboo sheets, and these stand out because they manage to be even smoother and silkier than usual. I never use a top sheet, so I have a linen cabinet filled with brand new top sheets that I don’t know what to do with. To me, it’s a huge perk that Quince offers shoppers the option of skipping the flat sheet.”

Materials: 100% cotton |  Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king | Key features: Pill-resistant, available in patterns, Oeko-Tex certified

You don’t have to splurge to get a high-quality set of cotton sheets. This set from Threshold, a Target brand, features a smooth sateen weave and 400 thread count fabric. It’s also available in bold patterns if you’re looking to add a pop of personality to plain bedding. There are plenty more value points, too: The linens are Oeko-Tex certified, pill- and shrink-resistant, have 18-inch pockets to fit lofty mattresses and feature a full-perimeter elastic band that keeps them in place all night.

What our writers say: “I’ve slept on these sheets for about a month and have no complaints,” says Garrett. “They’re crisp, cool to the touch and launder well without wrinkling too much.”

Materials: 100% eucalyptus lyocell | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king, split king | Key features: Temperature-regulating and wicking fabric

• Anti-static; dust and dander don’t cling to the sheets
• Easy to make the bed due to 20-inch deep pockets

Cons:

• Some experienced pilling and fading

When it comes to the best sheet set for hot sleepers, it’s a good idea to look for a material with wicking and temperature-regulating properties. This set, which is made from eucalyptus Lyocell, brings those features home to your bed. The fabric is naturally wicking, meaning it helps move moisture away from your skin to help keep you cool overnight. It’s also billed as a more eco-friendly option by Sheets & Giggles. According to the brand, the raw materials in this set are sourced from trees grown on “sustainably managed, biodiverse farms.” You can purchase this set in all regular sizes, and a couple less common ones (twin XL, split king and California king). There are several solid colors and patterns to choose from.

What our writers say: Forbes Vetted contributor Jamie Ueda shares, “I love these sheets as they feel cool and soft against my skin, but I’m not the only person in my circle who swears by Sheets & Giggles.” Ueda writes, “my friend has a set and she raves about how much she loves them; she says she is never going back to cotton sheets again.”

Sateen sheets offer a smooth, luxurious feel, and you are hard-pressed to find a better product than Brooklinen’s Luxe Core Sheet Set. Made from 100% long-staple cotton and woven with a 480 thread count, these silky smooth sheets are unbelievably soft and their quality construction lasts for years. In fact, they’re our overall favorite cotton sheets on the market right now. As a small but thoughtful touch, the fitted sheet has “long” and “short” side labels for easier bed making. This set comes in a range of solid colors and patterns and includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases. It’s also available on Amazon for $200 if you need high-end bed sheets in a hurry.

What our editors say: “Brooklinen’s Luxe Core Sheets are the only set I buy for my guest room,” shares Forbes Vetted executive content director Cory Baldwin. “They’re smooth with a lovely sheen, and hold up after countless washes. Plus it doesn’t hurt that they come in a wide range of nice colors.” Deputy editor Kari Molvar tested the sheets and says they’re “very smooth but not like a traditional sateen that’s shiny,” adding they have more of a matte finish. Molvar also said she’s had no issues washing them.
