Sheet Reviews

Why You Need Good Sheets

Sheets don’t get nearly the attention they should, given how important they are to your sleep experience. After all, the first think you feel when you get into bed is the sheet. Moreover, most people sleep between sheets. That means most of the feeling you’re going to experience on your skin while you’re in bed comes from your sheets.

As a result, the wrong set of sheets can ruin an otherwise great night of sleep. Sheets that are itchy, too hot, too rough, or just don’t feel right can take away from any bed. Additionally, sheets that contain materials you’re allergic to might not be merely uncomfortable but can be a health emergency.

Bedding Reviews

It takes more than sheets to make a bed, you also want to have a blanket to keep you warm. We’ve listed a couple of our favorite blankets we’ve seen so you can get a better idea of what’s on the market and make sure your bed is as snug as possible.

Different Sheet Categories

There are lots of different types of sheets on the market today. We’ve created five different categories of sheets to help break things down and make it easier to find the right set for you. Keep in mind, these category terms aren’t universal, so we recommend clicking directly to the examples we’ve listed instead of trying to search the internet by using the category names.

Luxury Sheets

Luxury sheets are the top-of-the-line sheet option. These are the type of sheets that you’d expect to find at the nicest hotels around the world. Luxury sheets are noted for their high-thread count, quality materials, and the unique feel they give you when you get into bed. Let’s look at some of the best luxury sheet options you can buy today.

Brooklinen

Brooklinen sheets are a great example of what you should expect from a set of luxury sheets. These sheets are made from 100% long-staple cotton. As a result, the material is very breathable without feeling flimsy. Moreover, they come with a 270 thread count. That gives them a very soft and durable feel.

Best For: Brooklinen sheets are great for people who love the crisp freshness that they get from the beds at the nicest hotels.

Frette 1860

Frette 1860 sheets are sateen woven, giving them a lustrous sheen and a feeling that closely resembles silk.

However, Frette sheets aren’t made from silk. Instead, Frette uses extra-long staple cotton to construct their luxurious sheets. The “extra” in that description may sound like it’s just there to make the sheets sound better, but it really does mean a lot.

That’s because the length of the cotton fibers used goes a long way when it comes to determining the quality of the material. When combined with Frette’s world-renowned sateen weave technique, these sheets get taken to the next level.

Another endearing aspect of Frette sheets is that they have a signature double-open hemstitch that borders pillowcases and the top of the flat-sheet. As a result, the sheets look great and add a dash of class to any bedroom.

Pricing: Expect to pay between $895 and $1,150 for sheets from Frette 1860. They are luxury sheets, after all, and are used in the most expensive hotels in the world.

These sheets are made from sustainable and/or renewable materials. As a result, they have a much smaller environmental footprint while still providing you with a restful night’s sleep.

Layla

Bamboo is one of the best-known ecologically friendly materials. It grows incredibly quickly and can grow in almost any environment. That makes it a great option for a material for sheets for those who are concerned about the environmental footprint of their sleeping habits.

While other sheet companies use bamboo in their sheets, Layla is one of the very few companies that uses 100% bamboo. Specifically, these use viscose from bamboo to make their bedding. This material produces a wonderful light shine. As a result, they can really help a bedroom pop when you look at it.

Additionally, the sheets are body-conforming. That helps make them extra comfortable while you sleep and prevents you from getting tangled in the sheets during the night.

Finally, bamboo viscose creates an extremely durable, breathable sheet. That means they’re excellent at helping you keep cool while ensuring that you get the security and comfort you’re looking for.

Pricing: Layla Bamboo Sheets cost between $125 and $225 depending on the size of your bed.

Purple

Purple, the company known for their innovative mattresses, also makes some great sheets. These sheets are constructed from a combination of spandex and bamboo viscose. That makes them extra stretchy and breathable without sacrificing durability or comfort.

Additionally, the combination of bamboo viscose and spandex means that these sheets are some of the best when it comes to wicking away moisture from your body while you sleep. The use of bamboo viscose adds an extra level of quality that you won’t find in other value sheet sets.

However, bamboo can be an expensive material for sheets. But that’s what makes the Purple sheet so appealing: it’s the least expensive quality bamboo sheet option that we’ve reviewed. Many people already know that Purple make great beds. However, it might be time for people to discover the glory of Purple’s sheets.

That makes them a perfect option for people who feel like they should love silk sheets, but can’t seem to enjoy them when they have them.

Casper’s Supima sheets are also good if you’re looking for a breathable material. The cotton used in the sheets is known for being durable without being dense. That means the sheets allow a good amount of airflow. As a result, they’ll help you sleep cooler.

Magic Linen

Magic Linen makes some of the most amazing linen sheets we’ve ever gotten our hands on. They use 100% natural flax fibers which are sustainably sourced. Moreover, they aren’t blended with cotton, wool, spandex, or any other fibers. As a result, they’re 100% natural.
