Below, a breakdown of the materials:Ĭotton percale: Cotton percale is made of a tight one-over-one-under plain weave that’s crisp, lightweight, and matte in appearance (kind of like your favorite white button-up shirt). The material you choose will dictate whether the bedding is cooling, durable, or easy to maintain. Then there’s linen (which is made of flax), bamboo and other alternative fibers, lyocell, jersey, and silk. Within cotton, you’ll see percale and sateen sheets, terms that refer to the weave of the cotton, which determines the feel of the bedding. The most popular sheets fall into a few major categories of material, with cotton being the most common. The first things you want to think about are what your sheets are made of and, if applicable, how they’re woven. And all prices listed are for queen-size sheets unless otherwise specified. Most of the options on this list are sold in sets that come with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases, but I’ve noted if pieces are sold separately. I also personally tested a bunch of these, so you’ll see my review notes below as well. To help us wade through the many styles and fabrics out there - a crisp cotton percale, a silky sateen, or something in between - I reached out to 36 experts, including designers, tastemakers, and a couple of the Strategist’s own staffers for their recommendations on the best bedsheets to buy, from classic white Egyptian cotton to eco-friendly linen to completely bespoke sets.
And with the rise in popularity of linen sheets, it’s easier than ever to achieve that laid-back, rumpled, yet still intentional look for your bed. With so many bedding start-ups promising premium-quality, hotel-style sheets at direct-to-consumer prices, it can be hard to know what’s what.
