The 10 best bed sheets to buy in 2023, according to reviews

There’s truly nothing better than jumping into bed with a new pair of sheets (freshly cleaned, of course).

It’s finding the best 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 product 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!”

In an effort to help you find the perfect set of sheets, we sifted through the Internet to find the most well-loved and reviewed options on the market. Whether you’re looking for cooling sheets, comfy jersey sheets or an option with Egyptian cotton, the following brands have it all.

First, we spoke with Karin Sun, textile expert and founder of Crane & Canopy on the different types of sheets to choose from.

• Sateen is a type of weave in cotton material and results in an incredibly soft, silky smooth feel. This is a great choice for most people, just make sure you opt for 100% cotton sateen.
• Percale is another type of cotton weave that is crisp, cool and luxurious, similar to a great classic white button-down shirt. 100% cotton percale is lightweight, durable and only gets softer with time.
• Linen is well known for its breathability, natural cooling effect, and absorbency – it can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture, making it a popular all-season fabric choice for warmer climates.
• Jersey knits are stretchy and soft, similar to a T-shirt. Unfortunately, many jersey sheets are cotton-synthetic blends which I’d avoid, but 100% cotton jersey is a better option.
• 100% Bamboo Rayon is a great choice for hot sleepers, as it wicks moisture, reduces humidity and stretches, all while staying extremely soft. 

Overall, Sun recommends you “opt for the highest-quality sheets within your price range but don’t break the bank, or worry too much about ultra-high thread counts. A higher thread count is not necessarily better!”

“The ideal thread count is typically 300 to 430 and for a premium material like 100% cotton, this will provide the best quality, feel and durability for the price. Choose natural fibers and avoid polyester and polyester-cotton blend fabrics,” Sun told The Post. “Aside from being less durable and long-lasting, these synthetic materials are much less breathable and often cause you to overheat while sleeping.”
