Buying Sheets on Amazon Is Hard—Here Are 11 Sets Our Editors Actually Loved After Testing Them

Our team of sleep-obsessed editors has tried nearly every style of bamboo bedding on the market, and a number of us keep coming back to this smooth Ettitude sheets.

"Of all the [sheets] I've tested, these feel the most luxurious," says Deputy Commerce Editor Heath Owens. "The silky sateen weave feels soft and smooth against the skin with literally zero scratchiness—almost like being wrapped up in a slippery ribbon. They aren't stuffy, either—my partner runs warmer than I do, and sometimes one set of sheets will make me feel cozy while he overheats, but these work for both of us."

They have a similar look and feel to silk sheets, but boast much easier upkeep. Plus, the thick-stitched hem prevents them from moving around too much, which is essential for people whose sheets often pop off of their mattress.

Brooklinen has an array of viral sheets in a variety of materials and styles, but this sateen set might just be the brand's most versatile, thanks to the buttery soft feel and luminous finish.

"They're silky to the touch without feeling too slippery, and I prefer them over linen sheets in summer since they're just as cooling without looking wrinkled all the time," Senior Commerce Editor Samantha Jones says. "I've had them for a little over a year now and haven't noticed any pilling, loose threads, or snagging."

Jones isn't the only one who has fallen for these sheets. "Brooklinen's luxe sateen sheets live up to its name: It's luxe, indeed! I love how rich they look and soft they feel," agrees Commerce Director Mackenzie Dunn. "They're a little more substantial than a linen or bamboo material."

While many of our favorite sheets are made from luxe materials that can get pricy, this Bedsure set comes in well under $100 while still boasting impressive cooling properties.

Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao stumbled upon these while looking for budget-friendly sheets for her guest room, and she says they garner tons of compliments from visitors. Before letting guests sleep on them, Liao tested them on her own sensitive skin—and was extremely impressed by the softness and non-aggravating texture.

"I was worried the rayon blend would irritate my eczema flare-ups because, typically, synthetic fabric isn't great for sensitive skin," Liao shares. "Surprisingly, these sheets have not caused me to itch or scratch at night."

Should you be in the market for a sheet set that's equal parts sustainable and luxurious, look no further than this editor-approved option from Boll & Branch.

Cherner actually tried these after loving the brand's pajamas, which are made from the same organic cotton. "I could sit on 10 different brands's sheet sets and still tell you which ones are Boll & Branch," she says. "They're extremely soft and feel so luxurious."

Unlike other cotton sheets, Cherner has found that these won't yellow or pill. What's more, after more than two years of use, they're actually softer than when she initially purchased her set. Just note that they're thicker than other sheets on this list, and Cherner doesn't recommend them for summertime use.

If you've tried ultra-soft sheets from popular brands, why not opt for a set beloved by home experts?

"I'll be honest: I did not know this brand before a friend (who works in home design) sent me a set for my birthday last summer," Cherner admits. "I don't know what I was doing or where I was before I finally slept on these because they are a level of soft that I've never experienced."

That's thanks to the brand's patented eucalyptus material called AiryWeight, which—you guessed it!—is super light, making these an excellent option to use in the summer. "These are so light you won't even feel them, which is why I really love them," Cherner says. Not to mention, the eucalyptus material boasts cooling properties, which makes it a smart choice for hot sleepers.

Sure, lots of sheet sets claim to be soft—but how many are certified by NASA? According to Slumber Cloud, these sheets are "the world's only textile technology to have received a Certified Space Technology quality mark by the renowned Space Foundation. That's because they're made with Outlast technology, which was developed by NASA engineers to help regulate temperatures inside an astronaut's space suit.

Tester Rachel Elliot agrees: "I need to emphasize how soft they are because that was the first thing I noticed when I unwrapped them," she says in her review. "I have pretty sensitive skin, so sleeping on sheets that feel even remotely rough or scratchy really irritates my skin. These feel like silk, but they’re not!"

Liao says they are probably the only cooling sheets she'd rebuy for herself. "The viscose-linen material keeps me dry during the summer when my room feels humid and gross, and cool during the winter when my down comforter and heater are making me feel warmer."

Although Mulvey has tried numerous sheet sets, this bamboo Luxome set impressed her, thanks to its soft finish and deep-pocket design. "I run hot when I sleep, so I'm always looking for bed sheets with cooling properties," she shares. "Not only is the viscose from bamboo used here moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating, so I'm not waking up in a pool of sweat, but they're also ridiculously silky smooth."

Additionally, she appreciated the thoughtful details, such as the sewn-in straps, which help keep the sheets affixed to the mattress.

You might be surprised to find that you can buy the same linens found in swanky Italian hotels on Amazon! Frette has been supplying hotels like the St. Regis and the Four Seasons with crisp cotton linens since 1899, including the editor-loved Percale Classic Sheet Set. After sleeping on them during a trip to Italy, Commerce Writer Laura Tarfa immediately ordered a set to use long after her vacation was over.

"Though the sheets were cotton, it felt like I was sleeping on a silk cloud, and I didn't slide around on the bed," Tarfa raves. "I was genuinely excited to end the day of sightseeing in Italy in order to get back into bed and feel the comfort of the sheets again!"

You might not think bed linens and "high-tech" would fall into the same category, but Rest, which we named one of the best cooling sets on the market, is here to change your mind.

These were designed with Rest's patented Evercool technology to help regulate your body temperature for all-night comfort. To back up these claims, we turned to a study conducted by SleepScore Labs, a health and wellness company that utilizes scientific data compiled over the course of a 1,000-night sleep trial. This study reported that "95 percent [of participants involved in the study] found the cooling sensation better compared to regular sheets."
