If you don’t have the time or money to invest in new furniture or decor, buying a brand new set of sheets is a great way to give your bedroom a subtle refresh. It’s something only you (and anyone else who sleeps in your bed) will notice, but when you do, you’ll be glad you did.

If you haven’t yet invested in a set of high-quality bed sheets, consider this your sign to do so immediately. We happen to be living in the best time to buy luxury bed sheets at rock-bottom prices, thanks to the direct-to-consumer model of many bestselling mattress brands. Whether you run hot or love to bundle up in a cocoon of blankets, bed sheets are the base layer of your bedding situation. Choose wisely, because whatever bed sheets you pick will be the foundation for ensuring a good night’s rest.

Bed sheets may come in a variety of sizes, but they are not one size fits all. Everyone has different preferences for what they want from bed sheets, whether that’s a breathable 100 percent cotton fabric or a durable yet super soft bamboo. Everyone’s definition of the best sheets is different, but we’re willing to bet that they’re all somewhere on this list. Upgrade what you’ve got going on in the bedroom with these solid options.

What Does Thread Count Mean on Sheets?

Thread count helps us know how many threads are in one square inch of a piece of fabric—specifically the number of both horizontal and vertical threads. A general rule of thumb is the higher the thread count the softer the fabric, or in this case your sheets. A high thread count number also means the sheet will be more durable and softer as it wears over time.

However, it’s worth noting that a high thread count does not always mean it’s superior to a lower number. Companies can use industry tricks (like weaving several yarns and twisting them together) to get high thread counts. So while thread count is important, it’s not the only feature that will determine the overall quality of your sheets. Instead, take note of thread count and then focus more on the type of fabric you’re buying, as well as what treatments (or lack of) each brand uses on the fabric.

If you’re looking for a specific number, then a thread count of least 200 will have you set. Most new brands (like Riley and Parachute) don’t list thread counts because they believe other features of the sheets are more important. So don’t get too caught up on thread count. Instead evaluate all of the fabrics’ features.

What Are the Best Bed Sheet Fabrics for All Season Use

Many of us have probably only had one set of sheets for our bedding at one point in our lives. Trust us, we’re better off having multiple sets. Whether you use your extra sets as backups or for different seasons, the best fabric to start with is high-quality cotton. Pima, Egyptian, Supima, and Silk are all classic bedsheet fabrics you can have on your bed for all four seasons.

Another newer fabric that’s a good option for all season use (and for those who are hot sleepers) is bamboo. Bamboo sheets are technically made from viscose that’s drawn from bamboo stalks, thus making them a more eco-friendly sourced material compared to how cotton needs to be grown and processed.

The only bed sheet fabric that’s not always best for year-round use is linen. The wonderfully light and breathable fabric is best suited for summer, and so it’s worth having a pair of linen sheets to treat yourself once the heat comes around. But even this rule isn’t concrete, because if you feel like you sleep well with linen all year-round, then do what works best for you!

Stick to high quality cottons and bamboo sheets to start if you want sheets that are going to work for all seasons.

How We Selected

For the past 18 months, we consulted with Men’s Health‘s editors and writers on the best bed sheets.. Experts, including our Deputy Editor of Commerce Christian Gollayan, put a number of sheets to the test and evaluated their comfort, breathability, softness, and durability. We also considered top-reviewed bed sheets with high praise from e-commerce websites we trust.
