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. "Sheets can provide comfort and help create a relaxing environment that is conducive to sleep," says Dr. Shelby Harris, a Sleep Health Director at Sleepopolis. "Sheets can also protect your skin and body against allergens and bacteria, which can irritate your skin and interfere with sleep quality."

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. The selection of choice has also never been wider, which is why our Men's Health editors and writers continue to test and review the best bed sheet releases every season (see our annual Sleep Awards for our latest favorite sleep products).

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: from thick and toasty flannel sheets to ultra-breathable bamboo sheets. Everyone’s definition of the best sheets is different, but we’re willing to bet that they’re all somewhere on this list. It's time to upgrade what you’ve got going on in the bedroom with these solid options.

Pros
  • Made with durable supima cotton
  • Several stylish colors available
  • Breathable percale weave
  • Moisture wicking
  • Good for hot sleepers
  • Long lifespan
  • Multiple colors available
Cons
  • Popular styles and sizes sell out fast

Tuft & Needle's percale set has that iconic cotton feel that's crisp and airy. The sheets are made from 100 percent Supima cotton, which is widely regarded as a superior, luxurious type of cotton. Supima’s extra-long cotton fibers are more durable than your standard organic cotton, which means your investment lasts longer too.

Buttery and strong, and not too expensive, we found these sheets have a durable feel that gets softer with each wash. Simply this is a set-it-and-forget-it sheet set you can count on for year-round use.

Pros
  • Tons of unique colors and patterns to choose from
  • Crisp hotel-like feel
  • Zero artificial wrinkle-free chemicals
  • Great price point
  • Long lifespan
  • Nice middle weight feel
Cons
  • Prone to wrinkling

Brooklinen is one of the buzziest bedding brands, and in this case, the hype doesn’t lie. These sheets have a very lived-in feel to them after only a few washes, and yet they stay crisp to the touch, like hotel bed sheets (rumor has it that Brooklinen sheets are a favorite among boutique hotel designers). Additionally, the sides of the fitted sheet are labeled “short” and “long” to avoid the fitted sheet shuffle that we’re all too familiar with.

If you’re a hot sleeper who loves that fresh hotel bed feel, you can't go wrong with these.

Best Premium Sheets

Cozy Earth Bamboo Linen Sheet Set

Pros
  • Unmatched comfort
  • Great style with just the right amount of drape
  • Ideal for summer
  • Appeals to hot sleepers
Cons
  • Expensive

Cozy Earth's bamboo sheets are so good they're almost famous at this point. The 100% premium viscose from bamboo that's used is out-of-this-world soft and seems to get better with each wash. "I really like the Cozy Earth Bamboo sheets for their comfort and durability. I love how they're lightweight have great breathability," says Dr. Harris. We too found these sheets are great at temperature regulating, so hot sleepers or sleepers looking for a good summer set will especially love these. As far as look, the sheets also have a fine drape with low wrinkling, and they fit easily over thick mattresses.

The downside is they are some of the most expensive sheets on this list. Try and catch these on a sale when you can.

Best Sheets for Summer

European Linen Sheet Set
Best Sheets for Summer

Quince European Linen Sheet Set

Pros
  • Under $120 for a queen size
  • Lots of colors available
  • Heavy enough to be kept for all seasons of us
  • Affordable enough to buy as a dedicated summer set
  • Great for hot sleepers
Cons
  • Will naturally wrinkle quite a bit

Quince's linen sheet set provides a great amount of value for the price. The linen is woven from a European flax for a mid-weight feel and pre-washed to give an added touch of softness out of the package. It's extremely difficult finding a linen sheet set suitable for year-round use, but we found these to have just the right amount of thickness and a strong durability that's more than capable of use for all 12 months. Hot sleepers and linen-lovers rejoice!

Best Organic Cotton Sheets

Boll & Branch Signature Hemmed Sheet Set

Pros
  • GOTS certified
  • Tons of colors available
  • Crisp and clean feeling
  • Highly durable and breathable enough for all seasons of use
Cons
  • Expensive

Whenever buying cotton sheets, the one thing you want to look for is if they're certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Boll & Branch's Signature Set has this certification, which means they follow strict guidelines on keeping its production process entirely organic. The result is a set of sheets that are wonderfully crisp, soft, and strong as heck. "For an individual who wants a more luxe and traditional cotton sheet, I don't think anyone has a more elevated bed sheet than Boll and Branch," says Dr. Chris Winter, a neurologist and author of The Rested Child and The Sleep Solution, as well as the host of Sleep Unplugged with Dr. Chris Winter.

Like Dr. Winter, we found these sheets as a great organic set that can be used through all four seasons. The tradeoff though is the price point, as they require a higher upfront investment than other top sheets on this list.

Best Sheets for Year-Round Use

L.L. Bean Pima Cotton Percale Sheet Set

Pros
  • Tons of colors available

  • Sheets stay crisp and soft after each wash
  • Breathable and durable enough for year-round use
  • Solid price point
Cons
  • Prone to wrinkling

L.L. Bean’s ethos of making products that stand the test of time and nature is apparent in these breathable sheets. We're not kidding when we say these are the most durable sheets on this entire list. Not only do the sheets hold up well in the wash (zero shrinkage) but they also produce little-to-no wrinkle. Couple it with the fact these sheets somehow seem to get softer overtime and come in an awesome price point and you've got the ultimate year-round sheet set.

Big Blanket Co. Sateen Dream Sheets

Pros
  • Extra large size makes good for couples
  • Deep pockets that fit over thick mattresses
  • Breathable and soft sateen
  • Pairs nicely with the brand's blankets
Cons
  • Larger size means more space taken up in a washer and dryer

Big Blanket's sateen sheets on right on par with the brand's top selling blankets: cozy, durable, and big. No seriously, according to the brand these sheets are cut about 25% larger than standard flat sheets. The larger fitted sheet makes it easier to fit over corners (deep pockets that handle up to 20-inch thick mattresses).

And the larger top sheet makes it so you never have to worry about your body rolling out of that toasty good warmth, even if your significant other is trying to hog all the coverage.

Pros
  • Quality percale material that appeals to hot and cold sleepers
  • Suitable for all seasons
  • Unique stitching details
  • Long lifespan
  • Pairs nicely with the Percale Duvet Cover Set
Cons
  • Sheets tend to occasionally slip off thicker mattresses

So crisp, so clean. These percale sheets feature 100 percent premium long-staple combed cotton percale, which makes them feel cool, soft, and comfortable. They hold up well over time, plus the decorative stitching detail on the flat sheet and pillowcases is a nice elevated design touch. The best news is they get softer after each wash, so there's an incentive to follow a healthy pattern of washing your sheets once a week here.

Lastly, we found the Percale Sheet Set pairs perfectly with the Percale Duvet Cover Set. Get a full queen bed setup for under $400 when pairing the sheets and duvet cover.

Best Sheets for Hot Sleepers

Best Sheets for Hot Sleepers

Layla Bamboo Sheets

Pros
  • Hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking
  • Made with silky 100% viscose from bamboo
  • Materials are good for those with sensitive skin
  • Great for hot sleepers and for summer nights
Cons
  • Sheets are too droopy for some

Perfect for hot sleepers, Layla's bamboo sheets wick away moisture like no other while also minimizing odor. They're also exceptionally soft and very lightweight. Other individuals who would like these are those looking for breezy sheets for summer, as the silky thin feel of the sheet will keep you cool and calm through even the most balmy nights.

One downside that's worth mentioning is the fact the sheets feel and look a bit flimsy. They're so lightweight that we noticed the impressions of our pillow fabric showing through the bamboo pillow case, which leads us to believe they droop a little too much at times.

At under $90, these extra soft and high-quality sheets are a great value. Just don't expect the lifespan to last very long, as we found them to start losing their touch after a handful of washes.

Pros
  • 100% GOTS certified organic cotton
  • Luxurious sateen weave
  • Buttery soft
  • Long lifespan
  • Pairs well with the Saatva Classic Mattress
Cons
  • Expensive

Sateen sheets are known for their wonderfully silky texture and luxurious shine. Saatva makes a top-tier set crafted from a 300-thread count sateen weave that's buttery smooth to the touch. The brand uses 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, which allows the sheets to stay durable and become softer and more comfortable through each wash. These sheets are a bit up there in price, but if you consider the quality of products Saatva puts out (like our favorite Saatva Classic Mattress), then these are a safe investment.

Pros
  • 22" pockets that will cover pretty much any thick mattress
  • 100% GOTS organic certified Indian cotton
  • Soft and airy feel on par with luxury hotel sheets
Cons
  • Only two colors available
  • Expensive

This set from Avocado Green Mattress has a soft 600 thread count and is made of 100% GOTS organic certified Indian cotton. And due to the fact Avocado went the distance on making sure its sheets follow an organic production process, there's a level of softness and smoothness we found the not many sheets have. The best part about these sheets is they have a deep 22" pocket, so they will even fit over the most comprehensive mattress and pillow top combo. Simply put, these sheets are in a class of its own.

Pros
  • Great stretch and moisture-wicking
  • Suitable for year-round use
  • Hold up well in the wash
  • No signs of shrinkage when testing
Cons
  • Not ideal if you like thick sheets

Nolah's bamboo sheets have a silky smooth feel that still feels nature to the touch. When testing we noticed how suitable they are for year-round use thanks to their excellent breathability and moisture-wicking features. We also found the sheets hold up quite well when washing, as we saw no signs of shrinking or breaking down when washed in hot water.

The only qualm we have is the fact the sheets are thinner than we'd like, which will dissuade sleepers who like a thicker, more weighted feel that comes with traditional cotton sheets.

This affordable option is 100 percent cotton as well as wrinkle, pill, and shrink-resistant. The 400-thread count is soft without veering too far into the jersey category, and they have a slightly satin finish to them, which looks very luxe considering a set for a queen-sized bed is under $60.

Overall, a solid option for anyone looking to upgrade their sheets without dropping too much coin.

Eucalyptus is naturally hypoallergenic and resists bacteria growth, which is a huge plus for those who have allergies and sensitive skin. As far as what brand to go with, we love Sijo's AiryWeight set.

Cultiver Linen Sheet Set

Pros
  • Ultra-soft lightweight feel
  • Will last for years
  • Feel gets better over time
Cons
  • Expensive

Linen is known for its durability, breathability, and slightly coarse texture that softens over time. Crafted from 100% European flax, this linen sheet set feels substantial and luxurious, but never thick. The breathable fabric is ideal for anyone who experiences changes in body temperature overnight, as linen is naturally highly absorbent, meaning it will absorb a high percentage of its own weight in water without feeling wet.

If you’re looking for a set of sheets with that vintage worn-in feel from day one, look no further.
