Although your mattress and pillows play a major role in how soundly you sleep, a quality set of bed sheets can be just as integral to your rest as other sleep tools. Experts previously told us a good set of sheets can help thermoregulate your body and have either a cooling or thermal effect depending on the material you choose. The experts we consulted noted there are several factors to consider when shopping for a new set of bed sheets, including material, thread count and eco-certifications, and you can find plenty of high quality bed sheets on Amazon across various brands and price points.
Since bed sheets can make or break your nighttime routine, finding the right set matters. Here's a summary of the qualities that experts we spoke to recommended paying attention to:
Material: The type of material can be essential for different types of sleepers. For example, bedding sets made from bamboo, cotton or microfiber are best “if you are looking for sheets that have a cooling effect,” whereas a flannel material can be a warmer option for colder nights, according to stylist and former textile technologist Lindsay Stedman.
Thread count: A high thread count is great, but it may not mean much if the materials and construction are subpar. Stedman told us that how the individual fibers are brought together can make sheets feel great regardless of the thread count.
Oeko-TEX certification: An Oeko-TEX certification ensures no harmful substances were involved in the manufacturing of a product. Experts told us that this certification is a bonus if you're primarily concerned about textiles and how they impact the environment.
To help you determine the right bed sheets for you, we used our experts’ guidance to compile some top-rated bed sheets available now on Amazon for all types of sleepers.
