The Best Sheet Sets We've Ever Tested
There's no doubt that the sheets on your bed can affect the quality of your sleep. However, finding the best set for your needs can be tricky—especially if you don't even know what to look for.
Alicia Cheung and Eva Bradley of Studio Heimat note that “classic percale cotton or sateen woven cotton are the two most popular types of sheets amongst our clients, particularly for quality and durability,” and it’s true that cotton sheets are the safest bet for most people. But there are plenty of other materials out there that may be suited for your needs, including linen, bamboo, or Tencel.
To find the best sheets for every sleeper, we put nearly 200 sheet sets to the test over a span of several months to evaluate their quality, breathability, durability, value, and more. We also considered factors like material, weave, and certifications when coming up with this list. For expert advice on what to consider when shopping for bed sheets, we spoke to Alicia Cheung and Eva Bradley of Studio Heimat, as well as Preeti Gopinath, Associate Professor of Textiles at Parsons School of Design.

The Lands’ End 400 Thread Count Supima Cotton No Iron Sateen Sheet Set wowed us with its incredible softness and breathability. We were impressed with its silky hand, especially when compared to other options we tested that had a stiff, papery quality. In contrast, these sheets feel sleek and smooth, almost like satin, and only got better with time. After six months of use, the sheets still feel luxe with enough temperature-regulating properties to satisfy both hot and cold sleepers.
Made from Supima cotton, which is made in the U.S. and is known for its exceptional strength and quality, these sheets are as durable as they are soft. Over several months of use, these sheets never thinned or pilled in the wash, and they continued to feel luxuriously smooth against the skin. They're also treated with a no-wrinkle finishing process so they won’t wrinkle when you remove them for the washer.
These sheets have an 18-inch pocket, so they can fit snugly on deep mattresses without popping off while you toss and turn. We also like that they come in a variety of colors to match beyond just neutrals, and they have a sateen weave which gives them a silky, cooling touch. In short, if you're looking for a simple yet high-quality sheet set in a reasonable price range, these can't be beat.
