Shopping 14 best sheets sets we tested that made us want to jump into bed every night By Miska Salemann and Emma Sutton-Williams Updated Feb. 25, 2026, 4:48 p.m. ET There’s truly nothing better than jumping into bed with a new pair of the best bed sheets (freshly cleaned, of course).
It’s finding the right set for you that can be the challenge.
“The right set of sheets sets the stage for your entire sleeping experience,” said Dennis Chan, director of retail products for Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.
“When choosing your bedding, investing in durability, design, and feel makes all the difference,” Chan told The Post. “Superior bedding will feel great against your skin and will withstand the test of time by maintaining quality night after night. Sheets should also complement your personal style. The bed is the centerpiece of your room, after all!”
Over the last two years, the Post Wanted team has collectively tested dozens of bed sheets. These are the 14 we think are worth your money in 2026. Whether you’re looking for something in sateen like the Luxe Sateen Sheet from Brooklinen or prefer something soft, sustainable and cooling, like the Buffy Eucalyptus Sheets, we’ve found the sets and brands that have you and your mattress covered. If you’re interested in more cooling sheets, check out our review of our best cooling sheets.
To learn what to look for when testing and reviewing bed sheets, we spoke with Karin Sun, textile expert and founder of Crane & Canopy on the different types of sheets to choose from. Jump to our FAQ with her or keep scrolling to our top sheet picks.

These bestselling sheets from Luxome are nothing to sleep on. Naturally moisture-wicking and silky smooth, they feel amazing after a long hard day. They have extra deep pockets and extra corner bands to keep them from slipping off the mattress. What I like best about the sheets is how they feel. They’re softer than cotton, have a gorgeous sheen, and a high-quality feel that makes the sleep experience better.
NYP Review: “I’m a hot sleeper, and have tested out several fabrics in search of a cooler night’s sleep. Luxome’s sheets are 100% Viscose from Bamboo — rather than a cheap blend — and this makes all the difference in keeping the fabric cool and breathable,” explained Meaghan Roche, Senior Commerce SEO Manager. “When I put the fresh sheets on my bed, I was delighted to find the extra-deep pockets making it so easy to make the bed, and the flat sheet seemed extra long and wide, even on my king bed — anyone sleeping alongside a partner knows this is a major plus. The bamboo fabric is designed to be naturally thermal-regulating, which is a blessing for hot sleepers. The silky, cool-to-the-touch feel helps me fall asleep and stay asleep. Every night I look forward to getting into bed and having another great night’s sleep, thanks to these sheets.”

Brooklinen’s bestselling Luxe Sheets have quite literally taken over the internet since the brand released the set in April 2014 — and the review count certainly proves that! They come in over a dozen different colors and patterns and the set includes a flat sheet, two pillowcases, one fitted sheet, and a duvet with side ties.
In terms of comfort, the sheets are made of 480 thread count long-staple cotton, which means they’re soft and cool. They also have a glossy, almost silky sheen, giving them a more luxurious look. I love how they’re available in a variety of colors and that a duvet cover is also included. Many other customers agree, too.
NYP Review: “The Luxe Core Sheet Set looks clean and is so comfortable to sink into at night,” said Victoria Giardina, content strategist and commerce journalist on The Post’s Shopping team. ” For hot and cool sleepers alike, I would say the Luxe Core Sheet Set is a great, light, and airy option. I like to sleep with a million and one blankets and shorts, practically all year round, and Brooklinen delivers an exceptional, sound sleep. So much so, it’s a struggle to leave bed some mornings.”

Saatva’s organic cotton sheets are an incredible option that will make getting out of bed even harder — but who said that’s a bad thing, right? They’re made of 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton that’s silky-soft and features a 300 thread count sateen weave that gets softer with every wash.
Customers are saying: “I’m by no means an experienced sheet ‘buyer,’ but I will say this: Saatva sheets are an excellent addition to our bed. They are soft to the touch, and help keep us cool,” said one reviewer. “I generally sleep cool, but my fiancé sleeps hot, and these sheets work well for both of us. Not much more to say other than I’m very glad I spent the extra money…definitely worth every penny. And the packaging was incredible! This was truly a luxury experience.”

Amazon is always a good place to find new bedding, especially bed sheets. This set from Amazon Basics has amazing reviews and is soft and light. My favorite part is that the set is under $50. It also comes in lots of different colors and is easy to care for.
“I was skeptical about these sheets because of the price point. It seems impossible to find any sheet set under $20 that is comfortable to sleep on,” says Salemann, who tested and reviewed the bed sheets. “However, I went ahead and tried these out and have never looked back. They came out of the wash without any fuzz, feeling smooth and soft to the touch. I’ve even noticed my skin is breaking out less with these sheets – probably because the microfiber is super gentle. My favorite part about them is how lightweight they are compared to some other brands I’ve tried. I don’t like to feel weighed down when I am sleeping, so these are perfect for me.”

New York Post Review: “If you have a thick mattress or use a plush topper, you know the struggle of sheets that barely cover the sides. These Sleep Number pockets are incredibly generous, staying tucked and tight without any of the daily re-tucking that usually comes with standard cotton sets. It gives the bed a tailored, hotel-quality look that doesn’t move until you’re ready to change the laundry.
I own a Sleep Number mattress and love it more than any other mattress I’ve ever slept on, but it also means that my FlexTop King requires very specific sheets that only Sleep Number sells. However, I’ve fallen in love with an assortment of Sleep Number sheets, but I’ve really grown to enjoy the Ultrasoft Knit set over the past few weeks.
The fabric has maintained its elasticity, with no pilling or thinning. The oversized flat sheet is a subtle, luxurious touch, providing plenty of overhang so you aren’t fighting your partner for covers in the middle of the night, in theory, but I am still fighting mine, who has a tuck and roll approach to sleeping.
I have been sleeping on these sheets for 3-4 weeks now and have fallen in love with how soft they are. I especially appreciate the stretch-like material in the fabric.” – Emma Sutton-Williams, commerce reporter
Emma Sutton-Williams What’s included? One oversized flat sheet, one fitted sheet (Split King and Split California King sets contain two fitted sheets), two pillowcases (Twin and Twin XL include one pillowcase)

Don’t let the lack of reviews fool you. The silk anything from LilySilk is good! And if you’re someone who cares about your hair or doesn’t like overheating in the nighttime, you may want to invest in these nice silk sheets. Naturally thermoregulating and hypoallergenic, sleeping on these is like being on the coolest, smoothest cloud. Or, something like that. The sheets are seamless, too, and come in some really gorgeous colors, including lavender, dark teal, and taupe.
Customers are saying: “I am beyond obsessed with these sheets… How great is it that they offer different “qualities” (persay) of silk? If you are a beginner like me (I’ve had two silk pillowcases from other brands and that was all I’ve ever known) … and you’re just starting to branch out into the silk world? Getting 19 momme over the 22 or 25 is definitely the way to go. You can test out the waters without spending double.,. I’ve heard silk dyes really well so if you’re choosing a color it’ll be very opaque and beautiful.. true to color (for whatever color you pick). Could only say great things.”

Quince’s viscose sheets are crafted from organic bamboo, which is one of the planet’s most resource-efficient materials. They don’t just boast that luxury silky feel, but also keep you cool in the summer months. The material does lend a small amount of shine, for that hotel-quality look.
NYP Review: “They’re under $100, which, in my opinion, is reasonable. More importantly (and impressively), they’re high quality,” shared Commerce Updates Editor, Holly J Coley. “They’re silky smooth, cool to the touch, and naturally hypoallergenic, which I love because I have sensitive skin. I love the glossy sheen they have, which makes them look far more expensive than they actually are. Although they’re prone to wrinkling, I love them, especially during the hotter months. And when I think about them also being organic…insert mind blown emoji,” Coley concluded.
Other high-quality organic sheets we recommend are made by Boll & Branch.

Cozy Earth’s Bamboo Sheet Set is made of 100% premium viscose from bamboo. Featuring an oversized fit and gentle drape, the temperature-regulating sheets are uniquely soft and only get softer with every wash. Like many people, I like to reach for sustainable options when I can, and bamboo is definitely like. Many reviews rave about the softness of this sheet set, using words like “butter” and “cloud-like” to describe them. In fact, 97% of folks who’ve purchased on Cozy Earth would recommend them. Best of all, because the sheets are available in Split King, they could work for an adjustable bed! Available in 16 colors.
NYP Review: “I immediately loved the silky-smooth texture of these sheets — and after sleeping on them for several months, I can attest that they did in fact only get softer over time,” noted Hannah Southwick, Page Six Commerce Writer and Reporter. “Perhaps more importantly, though, the breathable bamboo knit has kept me from overheating on hot nights (something traditional cotton bedding has never accomplished, in my experience). While I historically haven’t splurged as much in the bedding department, this luxe-feeling fabric has me questioning how I ever lived without it.”
Materials: 100% premium viscose from bamboo | Colors: 17 options | Size Options: Twin, XL Twin, Full, Queen, King, California King, Split King
The Buffy Breeze Sheet Set is a favorite of shopping editors everywhere. The premium soft sheets are made from eucalyptus for a breathable sleep, but they have a substantial weight to make them durable. An awesome choice for those with sensitive skin, they hold up wash after wash, remaining soft and cool to the touch. They’re available in more than a dozen colors, but be warned — this sheet set is often out of styles. Yes, they’re that popular.
Materials: Lyocell | Colors: 31 options | Size Options: Twin, Twin XL sheets, Full, Queen, King, California King, Split King
Parachute’s Percale Venice Sheets are another option that is well-reviewed. They’re crafted in Portugal from 100% premium, certified long-staple Egyptian cotton, which is lightweight and durable with a crisp finish that ages well. Although some dislike the crumply sound percale sheets make, I don’t mind it, and neither do many others. In an odd way, it adds to the “fresh” feeling these naturally cooling sheets have. They also feel lovely against the skin, as one reviewer pointed out. They said, “Terrific. Study soft fabric. Great size with elastic that holds the sheet in place. Love them.”
Customers are saying: “I really do like these sheets. This is my second set. The fabric is smooth and soft to the touch without the crinkly paper sound of some percales. Yes, there is some minor wrinkling but I remove them from the dryer while still damp and either put them directly on the bed or fold them for later use. I’m a hot sleeper and these do help much more than sateen sheets.”

Woven from premium extra-long staple cotton in a 400-thread count, single ply, sateen weave, these white sheets will feel beautifully smooth and silky against your skin. It’s simple yet classic hem gives it crisp and clean lines for a timeless look for your bedroom.
Personally, I love the classic look and feel of these bedsheets. Let’s be real, how can you go wrong with long staple cotton? However, I do want to note that the return policy is on the stringent side. You’ll have 30 days to return, and the sheets can’t be washed or used. Given that most defects are discovered after doing those two things, the policy is on the pointless side. Still, the bedding is lovely and we don’t see much reason for returning other than you’ve ordered the wrong size.

If you’ve splurged on an adjustable bed, we know you’re serious about your sleep quality. Hundreds of people think the percale weave of this bed sheet is dreamy, and I agree with them. It’s crisp and soft, having a similar feel to hotel sheets. I also like that it comes in lot of color options, because just plain white gets boring.
Although some customers report wrinkles and issues with the fit, the overall feedback is positive. The sheets have a long side and short tags, as well as 360-degree elastic to prevent the edges from slipping off. As long as your mattress is up to 15 inches, you should be good. One reviewer loved the sheets so much, that she was planning to order them for her child’s birthday.
Customers are saying: “Love my OneBed Queen-size sheet set. I absolutely love the quality of the sheets. They’re nice, thick, and soft. It was very easy to fix my bed in 1 minute. I’m ordering another one for my daughter’s birthday.”
