Buying the right bedding can make all the difference in how well you sleep, but with all the mattresses, pillows, sheets and other products out there, knowing what is actually worth buying can be confusing to say the least. That's where we come in.

The Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab extensively evaluated sleep gear using lab equipment and feedback from more than 500 consumer testers. These winners — from best-in-class basics to problem-solving innovations — will help you drift blissfully off to dreamland.

Our fiber scientists, engineers and home-product experts spent six months evaluating hundreds of sleep items to find the best bedding in every category — from mattresses, toppers, sheets and pillows to comforters, blankets, bed frames, pajamas and more. Each product was vetted by Lab analysts and testers to get a comprehensive view of how it performs. We considered attributes that are most important when it comes to shopping for bedding — like quality, innovation, convenience, value, style and sustainability — on top of analyzing data related to comfort, support, durability, ease of use, temperature regulation and more.
