Signature Hemmed Sheet Set 100% Organic Cotton

When it comes to buying organic cotton sheets, few sets are as good as Boll & Branch's Signature Hemmed Set. These sheets are a constant favorite of 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: ""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," he says.

We also found these sheets to stand up to the quality Dr. Winter describes. The sheets pass a tough Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification, so buyers can trust Boll & Branch is actually sticking to an entirely organic production process.

Linen Set, Luxury Sateen Core Sheet Set

Yes you can get Brooklinen on Amazon, and if that's not enough to sell you on one of our favorite luxury sheet brands we aren't sure what will. You can go wrong with the Classic Core Set, which we raved about in our guide to the Best Bed Sheets; but because we're picky about our linen sheets, we wanted to highlight the brand's high quality linen set. You likely won't find a better luxe linen set for the price, and the fact you can choose from several different colors means you can get the linen set you're destined for.

The sheets are made from 100% long-staple cotton and come in a thread count of 480. The feel is more smooth and sleek than you'd expect from a linen set, which is a refreshing surprise to the crinkle-y feel you sometimes get with linen. Brooklinen maintains the sheets are OEKO-TEX certified too, so you won't have to worry about any weird chemical treatments other sheets sometimes receive. If you have yet to make an investment in Brooklinen sheets, Amazon's fast shipping and seamless selection will be the tipping point for you to finally try the brand.

We paid close attention to everything from mattress fit to long-term durability to comfort level, and we made sure to include a wide price range to showcase all the kinds of sheets a guy can buy on the online retailer. The list above represents our honest opinion of the best sheets on Amazon to shop in 2023.

What to Look for in Bed Sheets on Amazon (and Beyond)

There are a number of factors to consider when buying bed sheets, but the two major ones that are talked about the most these days are cooling and softness. "Cooling sheets can help regulate your body temperature by wicking away moisture and preventing overheating. This can be especially important for people who tend to sweat a lot at night or experience hot flashes while sleeping," says Dr. Harris. "When it comes to softness, your sheets can either be washed or treated to have a feathery texture or they can come in fabrics with a thin and sleek feel. When your sheets are soft and comfortable, you are more likely to feel relaxed and fall asleep faster."

Here are more notes on what to consider when buying bed sheets on Amazon:

• Price: When it comes to paying up for bed sheets, we like to stick to a $100-$200 rule. Be weary of sheets under $100, as most of those sets will not be very good quality. There are, however, a few bed sheets under $100 that are a good buy so don't count our prior statement as an absolute. In fact, Amazon is the best place you can find sheets under $100 for. We've highlighted the very best sheet sets above we'd recommend for under $100, with brands like Mellanni, Danjure Linens, Bedsure, and Amazon Basics all providing good quality for the cost. You can also pay more than $200 for bed sheets if you want a true luxury feel. Any of the over $200 options we've listed above are well worth the extra investment—like the sets from Boll & Branch and Cozy Earth—as they provide a level of comfort few brand's can achieve.

• Softness: Softness depends on content and construction of the sheet itself. Synthetic and multi-blend sheets often feel buttery soft to the touch (like rayon, lyocell, polyester, microfiber) but they can also feel a bit plastic-y and flimsy if not made of good quality. From the construction angle, soft sheets can be created through techniques like brushing or combing of a fabric (brushed cotton feels wonderfully soft when done right). You can also achieve softness through special weaves like sateen and jersey.

• Durability: Due to how all our sleeping patterns vary and how brands have their own ways of making sheets, durability is a difficult metric to measure. Painting with broad brushstrokes, consider polyester sheets to be more durable than cotton due to their shrinking, pilling, and fading. There are cotton sheets out there than can hang with the best poly sheets though, and we've highlighting some of those cotton sheets above to prove this point.

• Care: Pretty much all sheets are machine washable, and most can handle regular cycles on warm settings. To be safe though, it's a good practice to wash on cold and on delicate, as some sheets specifically ask for that. Washing on cold is a practice that can also help extend the life of your sheets, and really the only time we consider washing on warm water is if you're a sweaty sleeper or if you're sheets get dirty faster than expected; washing on warm gets deeper clean on the fabric.

• Wrinkle Resistance: If you want sheets that have minimal wrinkle, then your best bet is to stick to fabrics like cotton sateen, polyester, or cotton-poly sheets. Linen sheets are probably the easiest sheets to crease and wrinkle, but the Brooklinen Linen Set named above worked surprisingly well at limiting wrinkles for us when testing.

• Cooling Features: Breathable weaves like percale and airy sheet fabric like linen and lyocell (especially bamboo sheets) all have solid cooling abilities. If you want sheets with enhanced cooling, look for features like temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking on top of these types of sheets we just mentioned.

• GOTS Organic Certification: When you see any mentioning of the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), that means those sheets have passed on being deemed organic in the truest sense. The GOTS has strict standards that makes sure sheets follow an organic process through the entirety of production, so you can trust a set of sheets is actually organic with this certification—as opposed to being partly organic in just one or two steps of the production process.

• Deep Pockets : You might need a deep pocket sheet set if you have a thick mattress or use a pillow top cover on top of your regular mattress. Most sheet sets can handle up to 14-inches of thickness, so if you suspect your mattress is over 14-inches then you should look at deep pocket sheets. A lot of brands carry deep pocket sheets. You can even go the affordable route with deep pocket sheets, as the Bedsure set we named above is a prime example of that.

What Are the Best Bed Sheet Fabrics for All Season Use

It's true a lot of guys probably use a single set of sheets for their bedding, but you're better off having at least a few sets on hand to alternate and change out every once and awhile.

• Cotton: Whether you use your extra sets as backups or for different seasons, the best fabric to start with is high-quality cotton. Pima, Egyptian, Supima, and Silk are all classic bedsheet fabrics you can have on your bed for all four seasons.

• Rayon, Viscose, Lyocell: Other types of fabric that's a good option for all-season use (and for those who are hot sleepers) are rayon, viscose, or lyocell blend sheets. These types of sheets are made to withstand shrinking and fading, while also being cool and breathable.

• Linen: The only bed sheet fabric that's probably not always best for year-round use is linen. The wonderfully light and breathable fabric is best suited for summer, so it's worth having a pair of linen sheets to treat yourself to once the heat comes around. But even this rule isn't concrete, because if you feel like you sleep well with linen all year round then do what works best for you!

How Often Should I Wash My Sheets?

It's important to wash your sheets at least once a week. Doing this might feel like overdoing it at first but your sheets accumulate dirt, dead skin, body oils, sweat, dust mites, and more.

Learn to make washing once a week a habit. You'll feel better nestled up in a fresh set of sheets. Plus, you won't have to ever think about sharing your bed with dust mites that reproduce at a rapid rate.

What Type of Sheets Do Luxury Hotels Use?

Most luxury hotels use cotton sheets in the form of percale or sateen weave, as those types are soft and comfortable while staying affordable and durable enough to handle commercial washers.

As far as color goes, hotels use white sheets, as it gives guests assurances a bed is clean and fresh. White is easy to spot stains on, which can be annoying to clean but of course shows that you are on top of your cleanliness.

Does Thread Count Matter?

Thread count was once the “gold standard” for bedding manufacturers. When most bed linens used to be 100% cotton, those with a higher thread count (500 or more) were guaranteed to be softer and more luxurious. These days, the number doesn’t matter as much and, in many cases, can be inflated or grossly misrepresented by some manufacturers. Any sheet set claiming a 1000 or 1500 thread count is probably exaggerated.

Are Plant-Based Sheet Sets Really Better?

Plant-based bedding claiming to be made of eucalyptus, bamboo, and other natural tree fibers is all the rage right now. But, be warned that most of these are manufactured using harsh chemical processes that strip away any semblance of the original plant material. By the end, most are actually made of rayon. Many, like the bamboo set we reference above, are still great quality sheets. Just don’t be fooled thinking that “plant-based” means “all-natural.”
