Contributor Kristi Kellogg says these sheets are “buttery, breathable wonders that make you feel like you’re drifting off to sleep in a five-star hotel.” The sheets are made of top-tier, organic cotton and are completely chemical-free. They boast three sustainability certifications—the most on our list—from Oeko-Tex, GOTS, and Fair Trade to prove it. The 17-inch-deep pocketed fitted sheet helps prevent them from popping off of a tall mattress, and the sheets get softer with each wash, maintaining their crisp finish and high-end feel after even a couple years, says Kellogg. “These are definitely among the best sheets I’ve ever had,” she notes “I can’t say enough good things about these. Buy them for yourself, buy them for your friends and family—anyone would be thrilled to sleep on these.”

Reminiscent of hotel bedding, commerce editor Audrey Lee was immediately impressed by this California Design Den set. “Though I was admittedly a little wary at first due to the thickness of the cotton (which read as too hot in my mind), the 1,000-thread-count sheets proved to be cool and airy on warmer nights and particularly cozy in cooler temperatures when I paired them with my favorite comforter,” she adds. What’s more, these sheets wear nicely. Though Lee says they were crisp at first, a couple of washes softened them right up. After year-round use, she also confirms that this set is breathable enough to take you from season to season without any issues of wear.

These wrinkle-resistant, super soft sheets are, according to contributor Kristi Kellogg, “a basic sheet at a bargain price.” She found them to be “lightweight and airy,” and coming in at 45 shades, they’re certain to suit whatever style you’re trying to achieve in your sanctuary. Kellogg also confirms they wear well after using them for a couple of years, noting that “they've held their shape, color, and softness through dozens of washes.” A quick perusal shows that thousands of reviewers share her opinion.

Lee is not only a “big fan” of her Cozy Earth loungewear, but also her soft, cooling bamboo-viscose sheets. According to the brand, bamboo viscose fibers are more hollow than cotton, allowing more air (and heat from your body) to pass through while you sleep. You can buy the bamboo viscose sheets directly from Amazon, which ship for free. They’re “super light and airy,” Lee notes, making them ideal for layering in cold months or for hot sleepers. They also suit her minimalist bedroom—the neutral and patternless color variations suit a simple and clean aesthetic.

“Once snuggled under my massive duvet cover and mountain of pillows, I could feel the slight slick of the sateen construction—a very appreciated detail as NYC was slogging through a heatwave as I tested these,” begins contributor Erika Owen in a raving review of these sateen sheets from AD-favorite bedding brand, Brooklinen. The fitted sheet pocket has a deep design, and after many washes, they just keep getting softer. “These are quality sheets that will last you many seasons,” adds Owen.

“For my mom, no fabric is more breathable and superior than cotton, so I grew up sleeping on cotton sheets,” says contributor Yelena Moroz Alpert. “But these are not the cotton sheets of my childhood, which in comparison could be described as very, very basic. The Buffy supima cotton is what cotton sheets should be.” Alpert describes this bedding as having a natural crispness to them but doesn’t think they are as “perky” as percale cotton. Plus, they have heft without feeling heavy or suffocating. They’re Alpert’s transitional sheets throughout the changing seasons, noting that they don’t make her hot, and they do not have enough weight to feel too light.

Contributor Jordan Goldberg loves to sleep as cool as she can, so she’s a die-hard for bamboo sheets, which are cooling, moisture-wicking and sateen-adjacent. She reviews these sheets as having “the perfect thickness while still being airy and breathable to keep you cool while sleeping.” Another pro is the thick band on the fitted sheet, so there’s no sheet-shifting in the night, and they cling well to your mattress.

Best Silk-Like Sheets

Our editors already love Sijo sheets, but recently the company launched a sister brand, Doz by Sijo—available exclusively on Amazon—which offers more affordable bedding options we think are just as good as the originals. Senior commerce editor Nashia Baker says this basic set of bamboo sheets is constantly in her bedding rotation and have managed to get softer after every wash. “My skin has gotten pretty sensitive over time, and I love how soothed I feel when I sink into these sheets (and the fact that I don’t have to shell out a lot for a high-end set),” she says. With 13 available colorways, you’ll find a set that’s sure to work with your aesthetic, but we think their blush pink and pistachio hues are especially strong if you’re working with a more feminine bedroom vibe.

Boll & Branch

“Soft, even plush, doesn’t begin to describe the texture of Boll & Branch flannel sheets,” Alpert tells us. Spun from 100% organic cotton, Alpert likens the feel to “the inside of your favorite sweatshirt.” The material itself falls in the medium-heavy weight category, a good note for anyone who sleeps particularly hot or prefers a sheet that’s more whisper-thin. Though, its cozy, almost winter throw blanket-like quality is what Alpert particularly appreciates. “This bedding puts me in the best mood,” she shares. “I swear, it might be the trick to surviving the cold, dark days of winter. I sleep incredibly well with these sheets because they’re warm, but the organic cotton doesn’t feel stifling, so the temperature is regulated to perfection.” The sheets are available in both a range of solid colorways as well as charming whipstitch and window pane designs that “certainly skews into the winter theme without veering into excessive holiday vibes,” according to Alpert.

Sheets & Giggles

By now, you know that eucalyptus and great sleep go together like peanut butter and jelly—especially if you identify as a hot sleeper. Looking to create a cooling sleep sensation for herself, contributor Kristi Kellogg read dozens of Amazon reviews on eucalyptus sheets before landing on Sheets + Giggles’ eucalyptus-lyocell set with a sateen weave. “They’re billed as super soft, hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking, and naturally cooling…[and] they also come with a lifetime warranty,” she says. “How can you go wrong?” After several months of sleeping on these, she’s found them always cool to the touch, high-quality, and very refreshing.

As far as cooling sheets go, the Peacock Alley Fern percale set lives up to its name. “The texture is soft, but feels a bit like a parachute when you flutter the flat sheet over the bed,” says Alpert, who was initially drawn to the artsy botanical pattern that reminded her of an abstract take on foliage. Amazon’s inventory includes solid colors only, though the classic silhouettes are ideal if you’re looking to build a clean-looking bedscape or prefer a neutral base to then layer patterned covers over. “Unlike the overly light bamboo sheets, the weight of these is just right for transitional weather, and it is definitely the way to go if you’re into layering your bed with blankets,” she adds.

For a bohemian feel that leans almost coastal, Greenleaf’s soothing earth tones—like seaglass green and raisin—can easily transform your bedroom into a calming retreat. These shams are a mainstay in Baker’s bedding rotation. She loves the calming hues as well as the silky feel of this set. “I tend to lean towards moody bedroom colors in the fall and winter, but I appreciate a soft color palette when the warmer months roll around,” she says. “These soft sheets are just right—I have them in sea glass green to give my space a serene aesthetic while simultaneously helping me drift off at night with their glossy and breathable feel.” What’s more, this set is designed with deep pockets to cover thick mattresses and comes with a sleep mask of the same bamboo material to comfortably block out excess light.

Threadmill Jacquard Celine Hotel Sheet Set

$95

Amazon

They had us at “deep pocket” and “hotel damask,” but content operations manager Livia Caligor can confirm: these sheets are “luxe.” Crisp, smooth, and durable, they deliver on hotel-quality, and versatility. “Even as a cold sleeper who prefers to bundle up in plush layers, I benefited from the cooling properties and smooth feel of this set, especially in the summer months,” she says. “Over time, they’ll become the best bed sheets for those who prefer something softer.” Caligor also loves their sustainability focus—Threadmill operates from a wind and solar energy-powered factory, packs in zero-plastic and reusable cotton tote bags, and all their products are made without harmful chemicals.

Essentia Organic Cotton Sheet Set

$259

Amazon

Contributor Andrea Lewis is one of many who fear cotton sheets—so we had her test these at the peak of New York summer last year to prove the integrity of cotton as a year-round fabric. She had to admit: “These sheets provided the perfect balance between coziness and breathability. The Essentia temperature-regulating sheets perfectly stabilized my body heat as the room temp wavered throughout the night.” For those who have sustainability and toxic-free products top of mind, this brand is also combatting chemical exposure by providing stimulant-free products.

Sijo’s eucalyptus-lyocell sheets have a slightly lower thread count than the set above, giving them a lighter weight and more relaxed look. (They are, however, just as cooling.) They have “an almost liquid, viscose kind of feel,” says Fletcher, that’s akin to “sleeping on a perfectly worn in vintage T-shirt that also keeps you from getting sweaty.” Unlike cotton sheets, they have a satiny shine and “don’t cling to every corner,” making them especially ideal for those who prefer their sheets untucked. Plus, they’re hypoallergenic, as well as asthma- and allergy-friendly certified.

Baker says these cooling sheets are soft yet breathable and mirror the lavish look of silk sheets at a lower price point. Unlike silk, which can sometimes have a delicate feel, these are made from smooth and durable bamboo viscose for easy care. Baker has been sleeping peacefully on this set and hasn’t noticed any tearing or frayed threads over time. They also have a gloss to them that is particularly nice for a glam bedroom design. “These are even more unique because of the jewel tones, like sapphire, that are hard to find with other brands,” Baker adds.

A couple of AD team members love Ettitude’s bamboo sheets. Baker calls the sateen set “buttery soft,” and Alpert agrees that “somehow they feel substantial but incredibly light and smooth.” Thanks to organic colorways, we think this set is perfect for a serene bedroom design. They are also designed to feel silky-soft and comparable to 1,000-thread-count cotton. “After the first night sleeping on these, I thought to myself, ‘These are liquid gold,’ in every sense of the word,” Alpert adds. “The fabric is practically fluid and contours gently over my body, and because I opted for the saffron color, these have a slight sheen of the lustrous precious metal.”

Buffy 100% Eucalyptus Lyocell Sheet Set

$200

Amazon

While eucalyptus sheets are generally hypoallergenic, Buffy’s 300-thread-count set is also colored with natural dyes—made from ingredients like turmeric, gardenia, and pomegranate—to avoid any potential irritants or harm to the environment. Dyes aside, contributor Zoë Sessums finds them cool-to-the-touch, ultrasoft, and silky-smooth. They only get softer after each wash, she adds, and the color hasn’t run or faded.

We call in a wide variety of sheet types, from budget-friendly picks to luxury bedding splurges, from trusted brands as well as those new to us. We take into account the sheets that are generating buzz on Amazon with thousands of positive reviews and test these for ourselves—what makes these so successful? We test every kind of sheet—percale, linen, cotton, you name it—so we have a strong idea of what the market offers and where it succeeds through all seasons. After a few months, we ask our testers to give us an update—how do the sheets hold up after regular washes and months of use? We evaluate the wear of the elastic band, the durability of the material, and overall texture and update our reviews accordingly. The best sellers that become mainstays on our beds boast a soft feel, have deep pockets to fit mattresses with extra accessories like a mattress topper, and are machine washable for simple routine care. Plus, many are a minimum of a three- or four-piece set (pillowcases and sheets) to easily dress the bed each day.

We approached the vast Amazon marketplace through multiple lenses to determine which sheet sets reign supreme.

As your resident sleep enthusiasts, we first considered brands we know and trust that sell their products on Amazon—think Brooklinen, Cozy Earth, and Boll & Branch—and researched how their offerings on Amazon compare to their own websites. We assessed how many sheet options they sell, how competitive their deals are compared to other brands, and how speedy their shipping times could be through the Amazon platform.

Next, we dug deeply into Amazon customer feedback, focusing our attention on which sheets on Amazon have accrued the most ratings and what reviews say regarding overall customer satisfaction, return and refund policies, and more. Through this research, sheets from brands like California Design Den, Mellanni, and Bamboo Bay stood out among infinite listings.

Finally, we conducted a broader sweep of the market to ensure that we considered a wide range of personal preferences, from materials to prices to overall sleeping style, in selecting our top sheet sets on Amazon. We also keep an eye out for options with a return policy available in case the sheets aren’t a fit. In doing so, we're confident there's an ideal set of sheets on this list to suit most sleep needs.
