With the right bed sheets and luxury bedding, a great night’s sleep might not be as elusive as you think. In addition to feeling soft and cool under your skin, bedding can help regulate your body temperature while you sleep, promoting deeper sleep and more rejuvenating rest.

Bed sheets and luxury bedding can be pricey and can take up a lot of storage space, so it’s a good idea to buy two or three quality sets to rotate for washing and to accommodate seasonal preferences throughout the year. If you shop around and make smart purchases, bed sheets and luxury bedding can last for years.

What type of fabric do you prefer?

There are several options for bed sheet fabrics including cotton, linen, bamboo and microfiber (which is made of polyester). Each option has different benefits and drawbacks.

Cotton: Cotton is a classic choice and promotes a restful night’s sleep because of its natural cooling properties. High quality cotton sheets are soft and become even softer after repeated washings.
Linen: Linen fabric is made from the flax plant. Linen bed sheets are a great option in warm climates or for people who experience night sweats because they naturally wick moisture and provide a cooling effect. While linen tends to be a rougher fabric, many people find the texture relaxing for sleep. Linen tends to be more expensive than cotton or other fabrics.
Bamboo: Bamboo is a sustainable fabric because bamboo plants regenerate very quickly and do not require pesticides or irrigation to grow. Bamboo is a great option for people with allergies as it has natural antimicrobial properties.
Tencel®: Tencel is a fabric made from wood pulp. It is sustainable and eco-friendly, and Tencel yarn has a smoother shaft than cotton or most other materials, making it a silky smooth fabric. Tencel tends to shrink quite a bit when washed and dried, so be sure Tencel sheets are pre-shrunk at the factory.
Microfiber: Microfiber refers to the circumference of each strand of fabric, which is referred to as the fabric’s denier. Microfiber sheets are synthetic and typically made of polyester and nylon. Some microfiber sheets are made of wood pulp that has been altered chemically to have a thinner denier. Microfiber sheets tend to be thin but are durable and silky-smooth to the touch.

What should you know about threads and yarn?

Fine bedding and bed-sheet brands typically advertise the quality of the threads and yarn used in the fabric. Each of these elements contributes to the cost of sheets.

Fiber length: Fibers come in several lengths, including short-, long- and extra-long-staple. The longer the staple of the fiber, the smoother and softer the weave and the more durable the fabric.
Ply: Thread ply refers to how many individual strands are wrapped together in each piece of yarn. Only long- and extra-long-staple yarn can be used in single-ply yarn, which results in a softer and stronger fabric. Multi-ply yarn can be made from short-staple fiber and is sometimes coarse.
Thread count: Thread count describes how many threads are woven together per square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts generally mean a softer, warmer fabric that is less resistant to pilling; however, some manufacturers misrepresent thread count by counting every ply instead of individual threads, so thread count is not the best indicator of quality.

Which fabric weaves do you like?

The way fibers are woven together affects the final appearance and texture of a fabric. The most common weaves for bed sheets are percale and sateen.

Percale: Percale describes a weave where each thread goes over and under the next thread. A percale weave results in a smooth, strong fabric with a matte finish.
Sateen: Sateen describes a more complicated weave, where a thread goes over four, over one, then over four again. This type of weave results in a silky smooth surface that reflects light for a slightly shiny appearance.
Twill: In a twill weave, each thread goes over one and then under two threads to form a distinct step pattern. Twill usually has a matte finish. While uncommon in bed linens, twill is often used in blankets and coverlets.

What sizing do you need?

Choose sheets, pillow cases and bed covers that coincide with the size of your mattress and pillows for an easy-to-dress bed with a put-together look.

Mattress size: Sheets and bedding come in various sizes to accommodate the size of your mattress. Standard mattress sizes are Single, Twin, Double, Queen and King. Twin XL and California King mattresses have the same width as standard Twin and King but are longer to accommodate taller people.
Pocket depth: When choosing sheets, you’ll need to choose the correct pocket depth to accommodate the height of your mattress and any mattress pads or toppers that you use. Fitted sheets need a corner pocket deep enough to wrap the entire mattress. Standard fitted sheets fit a mattress that is 7 to 14 inches deep; deep pocket sheets fit a 15 inch mattress; and extra-deep pocket sheets fit mattresses from 16 to 22 inches.
Pillow cases: Standard pillows are 20 by 26 inches, and King-sized pillows are 20 by 36 inches. Most sheet sets come with two pillow cases in either or both of these sizes. Decorative pillows come in many other sizes.

What is the bedding’s environmental impact?

Consumers who are concerned about the environment or the welfare of animals may want to look for certain characteristics in their bed sheets and luxury bedding.

Oeko-Tex certified: Oeko-Tex Standard 100 (sometimes called Öko-Tex Standard 100) is an independent certification out of Zurich, Switzerland that indicates that a textile or fabric has been produced without the use of specific harmful or illegal chemicals. Oeko-Tex certified sheets and bedding may be safer for your health and better for the environment.
Organic fabrics: Organic cotton and other crops are farmed without the use of harmful pesticides, which may make them less hazardous to your health and better for the environment.
Sustainability: Some crops have less of an environmental impact than others, making them more sustainable. Bamboo is one of the most sustainable crops because it grows fast and uses less water than many other fabric crops.
Ethical sourcing: Many consumers are concerned about ethical issues for the sourcing of silk and down, which come from silkworms and waterfowl. People concerned with the treatment of animals should avoid down that is “live plucked” and opt for down that is removed post-mortem from animals that will be used for food, which is often certified with a seal indicating it meets the Responsible Down Standard.
Vegan alternatives: Consumers who do not want to use animal products at all (or who suffer from allergies) should opt for down alternatives like polyester and silk alternatives like bamboo or sateen cotton.

What about aesthetic considerations?

Style options for your bedding are fairly wide-ranging, so there’s a good chance you can find bed sheets and luxury bedding in a look and feel that will match your bedroom decor and personality.

Color palette: A variety of colors for sheets and bedding can match the design aesthetic of your bedroom. Crisp white bedding is reminiscent of five-star hotels and is considered a classic, upscale look for luxury bedding. Simple, neutral colored sheets in a variety of color tones can also create a modern, minimalistic look.
Patterns: Sheets, duvet covers and other bedding items may have multi-colored printed, dyed or embroidered patterns. Some popular styles include herringbone, medallions, florals or paisley. Designers recommend choosing no more than two contrasting patterns and coordinating with solid colors for the remaining bedding pieces; for example, you might try solid colored sheets with a patterned quilt.
Finish: Solid-colored bed sheets may have a pattern created by using different weave techniques throughout the fabric. These tend to look matte in some areas and silky in others, creating a monochrome print or pattern in the fabric. Popular styles include stripes and jacquard, but other linen finishes are also available including floral patterns, polka dots and more.

Sheets

Bed sheets make a bed comfortable and also protect the blankets and keep them clean. Sheets are either fitted or flat. Fitted sheets have elastic along the sides to secure them around a mattress, while a flat sheet is a rectangle of fabric that can be folded around a mattress or used atop the mattress as a thin blanket.

Pillow cases

Pillow cases protect and extend the life of your pillows. They also make them soft and comfortable. They are available in several sizes and designs. Some have side openings to insert the pillow, while others open along the back in an “envelope” style.

Duvets and covers

A duvet is a fluffy blanket usually filled with down feathers or a down alternative such as polyester. Most duvets are white and cannot be washed in a washing machine, so most people purchase washable duvet covers. These covers come in many colors and patterns.

Variety of blankets

In addition to duvets, most people use a combination of other blankets on their beds such as quilts, coverlets and throws. These come in many fabrics and weights to suit various climates and seasons.

To refresh or decorate a room

Besides replacing old bedding that is worn out or damaged, many people purchase bed sheets and luxury bedding as an affordable way to update a room’s decor.

To improve sleep

People who struggle with insomnia or other sleep difficulties may purchase new, luxury bed sheets and bedding to improve their quality of sleep. Inviting beds with soft, warm blankets can help people fall and stay asleep.

To give as a wedding gift

High-quality bed sheets and bedding are popular choices for wedding gifts.

To give as a graduation or housewarming gift

New bedding is a welcome gift for recent college graduates or others who are moving into a new home.

As a holiday or birthday gift

Bed sheets, quilts, throws and other bedding make great gifts at the holidays or on birthdays. They can even be customized with a monogram.
