Sweet dreams are made of these sheets. 

Is there a nightmare scarier than winding down for the night only to tuck into a bed made up with scratchy sheets? Nothing makes our skin crawl — literally — like the thought of sandpaper linens. But if you don’t do some research before sheet shopping, you could end up tossing and turning on a bed of nails all night. (OK, we’re being a bit dramatic, but you get the point.) Sheets should feel like nothing at their worst, and heaven at their best. 

Whether you’re searching for hotel-worthy bedding, crisp percale cotton you can slip against, or worn-in linen you don’t have to wash a million times before it softens, we found the softest bed sheets on the market. And a good night’s rest is possible, no matter your budget. We included styles ranging from under $40 with thousands of positive reviews to silky sets you won’t regret investing in. Sleep should be a priority, so go ahead and indulge in a set that makes you want to get into bed.

The Softest Sheets

Mellanni Queen Sheet Set

Amazon

Amazon boasts more than a few thousand sheet sets, so it might be hard to narrow it down to styles that are truly worth your dime. Let the 300,000 reviewers convince you to try this one. This lightweight, super soft four-piece set is made of brushed microfiber that was designed with sensitive sleepers in mind, so feel free to sleep in the nude if that’s what suits you. On the off chance that you don’t love these sheets, Mellanni offers a lifetime warranty, so you can return the product, no questions asked. Did we mention that they look like hotel sheets for less than $40, too?

Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set

Cozy Earth

When you think of luxury bed linens, your mind might naturally drift toward something like high trend counts or 100 percent linen. But technological advances in the fabric game will have you redefining what luxury looks like. Made of 100 percent premium viscose from bamboo, Cozy Earth sheets rival those with even the highest quality cotton. Many of the 5,000 raving reviewers claim these sheets to be the softest they’ve ever laid on. They also aid in temperature regulation, so you’ll never overheat during an unexpected hot flash again.

L.L.Bean Botanical Floral Flannel Sheet Collection

L.L.Bean

You might know L.L.Bean best for their Bean boots and outdoorsy bent, but they have garnered a good reputation for their indoor products, too. The brand’s flannel sheets top multiple lists for being the absolute softest of their kind year over year. Just look at some of their customer reviews: “These are the best flannel sheets I have ever slept on, and I have loved flannel sheets since my Canadian childhood. They are baby soft and light, not clinging, and have not pilled at all.” We’re especially impressed with the wide range of prints like this sweet botanical design, which is an unexpected pattern that will cheer up any room.

MagicLinen Linen Sheet Set

MagicLinen

Some people love climbing into a set of crisp cotton sheets at the end of a long day, but the soft, worn-in texture of linen just can’t be beat for others. Commerce Editor Katie P. has been sleeping on a set of linen sheets from Magic Linen for nearly four years now, and they’re still her favorite. “They get softer with each wash, are extremely breathable, and they don’t shed as much as other linen sheets I’ve tried,” she says. Plus, they lend themselves to a perfectly undone, lived-in vibe if that’s what you’re going for.

Parachute Brushed Cotton Sheet Set

Parachute

For soft sheets meant to be snuggled in, try brushed cotton. It has the worn-in feel you loved from your childhood sheets your mom tucked you into at night, but these are way chicer. For one, they’re not covered in spaceships or Disney characters, but they’re also made in Portugal from 100 percent cotton. Parachute’s luxe sheets are so comforting, they can coax you out of the scariest of nightmares.

Buffy Supima Cotton Sheet Set

Buffy

Supima cotton fibers are longer than your average cotton fiber, which makes them softer and stronger, too. This set from Buffy isn’t only made from the superior cotton variety, but they’re dyed with OEKO-TEX dyes that are safe for you and the environment. This set comes with a top sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases.

$120+ at Buffy

Linoto Linen Sheet Set

Linoto

For high-quality linen, we always recommend Linoto. These are sheets that look like they belong in a villa set in the French countryside (even though the linen is milled in Italy and Belgium, and made in the USA). Not only are they available in a range of beautiful hues, but they are also pre-washed so you don’t have to worry about stiff fabric on your first night’s rest.

Coyuchi Climate Beneficial Cotton Soft Washed Sheet Set

Coyuchi

If you prefer to keep your household organic, Coyuchi will cater to your sustainable needs. Since 1991, the brand has been dedicated to prioritizing organic cotton, producing high-quality linens that can be held accountable. Not only are the sheets responsibly made, but Coyuchi also offers a program where you can send back your used sheets to be recycled and renewed, some of which funnels into Coyuchi’s 2nd Home Renewed, a circular line of products that have been cleaned, mended, and resold for a fraction of the full price. The brand just launched this Climate Beneficial collection, which takes their best-selling twill sheets but designs them with a new coalition working to change how cotton is grown in California, supporting local farmers to help restore the soil in the brand’s home state.

Lulu and Georgia European Flax Linen Sheet Set

Lulu and Georgia

Lulu and Georgia is better known for its beautiful furniture and rugs — think of the brand for bringing a modern European aesthetic to the California coast — but don’t miss its bed linens. They have a curated collection of linen sheets that are pre-washed for a vintage touch. 

$390+ at Lulu and Geogia

Piglet in Bed Bedtime Bundle

Piglet in Bed

Oftentimes, when we think of linen sheets, we think of a coastal grandma aesthetic. That’s where Piglet in Bed upends it. While they do offer beautiful neutral bedding that would work for everyone, we’re particularly fond of the brand’s penchant for bold, punchy hues and prints like gingham blues, apple greens, and sunny yellows, without sacrificing the feeling of cozy, lived-in sheets. Your bed should be your safe space, so why not choose a color that matches your personality?

Lunya Washable Silk Flat Sheet

Lunya

First and foremost, we completely admit that silk sheets are a luxury many of us cannot access. But for those who can, it’ll be worth it. We’ve all heard about the skin-boosting benefits of using a silk pillowcase, and the same can be said for what happens if you sleep in 100 percent silk sheets. After investing in these, you might not want to spend even more money taking them to the dry cleaner every time you wash your sheets (and we’ve outlined how often that should be). Look to Lunya if that’s where your head’s at: These are machine washable.

PeachSkinSheets

peach sheets

Our deputy editor Maggie P. just transitioned her bedding to this brand, and she says they live up to their name. She likes a soft sheet but not silk because it traps heat. While she’d been sleeping on jersey sheets she discovered in college, PeachSkinSheets offered an appealing upgrade. They maintain that soft, comforting feeling of her 15-year-old dorm room sheets but have a smoothness that feels buttery against her skin and stays cool through the night. Her favorite quality? They’re oversized and never pop off during the night, no matter how restless her sleep is.
