Get the best sleep of your life every night.

We spend up to one-third of our lives in bed, and investing in a quality set of sheets can not only help make that time more comfortable, it can make it easier to get a good night's sleep. While people usually look to pillows, mattresses, and mattress toppers to make their bed more comfortable, the sheets and bedding you choose are arguably just as important. However, with a ton of options on the market, it's not always easy to choose the bedding set that's right for you.

Whether you're looking for breathability, warmth, durability, or luxury, we've rounded up the best bedding sets on the market to help make your shopping a bit easier. Look below for tips on what to look for when shopping and in-depth reviews of each product.

When looking for a new bedding set, there are a few things to consider before making your purchase. The “bedding set” designation can be a bit broad, encompassing everything from standard sheet sets to sheet-and-comforter combos to sets that even include a mattress. Since what constitutes a bedding set varies wildly by brand, you will want to make sure you know everything that’s included in the set you’re eyeing or you may end up paying extra for something you don’t need—or, worse yet, missing out on something you do.

You will also want to consider the materials your sheets are made from. Cotton and linen typically feel coolest to the touch and are great for anyone who tends to run hot. Microfiber sheets are usually very soft and buttery smooth to the touch. They are less expensive than most organic fibers, but they aren't quite as breathable. Flannels will be your warmest option and are best in colder climates or for anyone who gets chilly when they sleep.

To find the best bedding sets among the many options out there, we researched the most popular models available. We looked at expert-tested reviews from trusted sources like The Spruce and Good Housekeeping. We then took into account price, materials, sizes, and included items. Finally, we consulted more than 500,000 reviews written by people who’ve bought these sets on sites like Amazon to settle on these eight.

For a more affordable option, consider these soft, cooling microfiber sheets. 

They come in 40 different colors, 15 different size options, and they have over 200,000 reviews on Amazon, and have maintained a 4.5/5 star average. 

Microfiber may not sound as luxurious as linen or 100% cotton, but it is buttery soft to the touch and super durable so your sheets will last for years to come. 

These sheets may be cheap, but they are a customer favorite on Amazon. You can get a queen set for under $20, which makes it the most affordable option on our list. 

But despite the low price, they are soft and durable—and they come in 44 different colors and patterns. While these may not be your top choice for a master bedroom, they make a great choice for a college dorm or guest room. 

This set of sheets will cost you only $100 for a queen, and the crisp, comfy cotton will make you want them in all of the five colors available. 

The set comes with the fitted and flat sheet and your choice of one or two pillow cases. They are also designed to improve with age, getting softer with every wash. 

This set includes two pillows, a comforter, sheets, and pillow covers which makes it a great choice if you are looking for a complete bedding upgrade. 

Unlike most bedding sets, this one allows you to choose your size and color as well as the weight/support and fill of the comforter and pillows. Note that the size and fills that you choose will affect the price, with larger and more premium elements making it more expensive. 

Chilly winter nights require the coziest sheets, and this flannel set from Eddie Bauer will keep you toasty warm all night long. They are made from 100% cotton, which allows them to breathe throughout the night and not become too stuffy. 

They also come in 30 different cute wintery patterns like bears, deer, and Christmas trees. The set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillow cases, and comes in sizes ranging from Twin to King.

Silk pillow cases are often recommended to help protect your hair and keep your skin looking healthy and hydrated. These silk bed sheets take that concept to the next level, providing luxurious protection for your whole body. 

They come in 10 different colors and are made from 100% silk, which is temperature-regulating, making it great for cool and hot sleepers alike. Note that this set only has a duvet cover and does not include a flat sheet.

There is something about 100% linen sheets that feels more luxurious than any other fiber. This set is available in eight different colors and comes with two pillow cases, a fitted sheet, and a flat sheet. 

The fabric is wrinkle-resistant and seamless, making it extra-comfortable. This set also comes pre-washed and pre-ironed, so it's ready to go on your bed as soon as it arrives.

If you are looking for a total bed refresh, this option from Parachute will set you up with everything you need for a good night’s sleep. It comes with a sheet set, two pillows, a duvet cover, duvet insert, mattress, and mattress pad. 

There are 11 different color options, and you can choose whether to include a top sheet or not. There is also a 100-day trial period, so if you decide it isn’t the right fit for you, Parachute will come pick it up for free.
