Our top picks include luxury bedding brands, budget-friendly big-box stores, and everything in between. We’ve even included Real Simple Selects-approved products—products that have earned our seal of approval after going through our meticulous testing process.
We regularly test all types of bedding—sheets, comforters, pillows, and more—both in our Lab and at home. In fact, we’ve evaluated 223 sheet sets to date. We vetted the bedding brands we order from most often based on material quality, product variety, shipping and return policies, customer service, and overall shopping experience.
Great bedding doesn’t just dress up your bedroom—it also keeps you comfortable and helps you to sleep better at night. “The bedroom is the one room in the home that should be extra-comfortable and luxurious,” says interior designer Tiffani Baumgart. “Bedding is the first step in that process.” The only problem? There are seemingly endless places to buy bedding, which can make outfitting your bedroom a bit overwhelming.

What Stands Out
The Citizenry’s bedding selection is small, curated, and filled with handcrafted finds.
What Could Be Improved
The store gives you just 30 days to make returns and often charges a $25 return fee.
The Citizenry is the most expensive bedding brand on our list, but given its commitment to quality and artisanship (which we validated in our testing!), we think it’s worth the splurge. We’ve found that the brand’s sheets are light and airy yet still durable and stain resistant.
Though The Citizenry’s bedding section is small and curated, it’s packed with quality finds. All of its items are Standard 100 certified by Oeko-Tex and handcrafted by artisans across the globe. And since they’re sold as sets and separates, you can stock up on exactly what you need.
Whereas some bedding brands have limited color selections, The Citizenry offers its pieces in a range of hues and prints. The brand’s Stonewashed Linen Sheet Set—which was one of the best linen sheets we tested—is available in 13 colors and three prints.
Though The Citizenry’s pieces are pricey, the store offers free shipping on most items. And shipping takes between seven and 10 days—though if you’re buying a low-stock item, it can take much longer. The Citizenry also gives you just 30 days to return most items. And it charges a $25 fee on many returns.

Parachute
Parachute
View On Parachute
What Stands Out
Parachute offers free shipping on all orders, 60-day returns, and complimentary design services.
What Could Be Improved
The brand’s bedding is pricey, with sheet sets starting at $129 and duvet covers starting at $150.
Looking to invest in premium bedding? Parachute has you covered. The brand was founded in 2014 to deliver luxe bedding straight to your doorstep, and years later, it’s still one of our favorite spots for cozy, investment-worthy pieces. When we test Parachute sheets, we often describe them as breathable, durable, and soft to the touch.
Parachute sells every kind of bedding product imaginable: sheets, quilts, shams, comforters—even pillows and duvet inserts. And since the brand sells sets and separates, it’s easy to stock up on exactly what you need. All of Parachute’s products are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning they're made without harmful chemicals. And although Parachute specializes in luxe materials—like organic cotton, European flax linen, and washed velvet—almost all of its bedding is machine-washable.
One of our favorite things about Parachute is that it offers free 60-day returns on most of its pieces—giving you plenty of time to decide how you feel about your latest purchase. It also offers free standard shipping on all orders and provides complimentary design services. And if you need anything, you can reach customer service via chat or email, or you can set up a scheduled phone appointment.

Coyuchi
Coyuchi
View On Coyuchi.com
What Stands Out
Coyuchi specializes in artisan bedding that meets high standards for quality, sustainability, and organic practices.
What Could Be Improved
The brand’s bedding is expensive, and it only offers free shipping on orders over $300.
If you’re committed to buying organic sheets, give Coyuchi a look. We’ve tested four different sheet sets from the brand, and we found that they are great at wicking away moisture and resisting stains. We also appreciate that its sheets have deep pockets to prevent them from sliding off thick mattresses. The brand also makes some of the most beautiful blankets and quilts you can find, and its products meet the highest standards for quality, sustainability, and organic practices.
Many bedding brands focus on essentials, like sheets, pillows, and duvets. Coyuchi covers these bases—offering organic cotton sheets, wool duvet inserts, and handy bedding bundles. But it also goes beyond the basics, selling artisan blankets, handmade quilts, and other special finds. These handcrafted items set Coyuchi apart from other bedding brands. And since they’re handcrafted, we think they’re worth the splurge.
Coyuchi also holds itself to high-quality standards, so its bedding is packed with certifications. All of Coyuchi’s products are Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Fair Trade, and Made Safe certified.
The brand also offers free shipping on orders over $300—a high threshold, but one that’s easy to meet when shopping at the store. And it gives you a whopping 365 days to return most items. Customer service is also easy to reach: Just chat with, email, or call them, or fill out a submission form on the website.

Brooklinen
Brooklinen
View On Brooklinen
What Stands Out
Brooklinen sells high-quality bedding for less and offers 365-day returns on most of its products.
What Could Be Improved
Returns aren’t free, and you have to spend over $100 to get free shipping.
If you want to score a deal on high-quality bedding, Brooklinen is the place to shop. Founded by textile experts, the brand specializes in top-notch essentials that don’t cost a fortune.
Brooklinen sells everything you need to outfit your bed from top to bottom, including sheets, quilts, throw blankets, memory foam pillows, mattress toppers, and duvet inserts. These items are sold separately and in sets, so you can buy exactly what you need. Just check what comes in your bedding bundle before buying it—some include flat sheets, while others don’t.
Most of Brooklinen’s sheets are Oeko Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning they’re made without harmful chemicals. And the brand’s down comforters and pillows are certified by the Down Association of Canada (Downmark), meaning they’re made from top-quality materials.
Our favorite thing about buying from Brooklinen? The brand offers 365-day returns on most products. Unfortunately, it recently started charging $10 fees for returns. And while most items ship in four to 10 days, the brand only offers free shipping when you spend over $100.

Amazon
View On Amazon
What Stands Out
Amazon has everything you need in one place, and it typically gives you free fast shipping and free 30-day returns.
What Could Be Improved
The store aggregates products from third-party sellers, so its selection isn’t curated and shipping/return policies may vary.
Amazon is called “the everything store” for a reason—it truly has it all. So it should come as no surprise that Amazon has plenty of great bedding worth considering.
On Amazon, you can find pretty bed linens, like sheets, comforters, throw blankets, and shams. You can also score essentials, like mattress toppers and pillow protectors. And the store really shines when you need something specific, like a fitted sheet for a twin XL bed or a temperature-regulating pillow insert. Most bedding brands sell just a few of these items—if they sell them at all. Being able to buy everything you need in one place is endlessly convenient.
Since Amazon aggregates products from other retailers, its bedding selection isn’t very curated. But when it comes to variety and convenience, the retailer can’t be beat. Its website is easy to navigate, orders take no time to place, and customer service is quick to respond (especially if you use the chat box). And while shipping and return policies vary from third-party seller to third-party seller, Amazon Prime members can typically expect free shipping and free 30-day returns on most items.

Boll & Branch
Boll & Branch
View On Bollandbranch.com
What Stands Out
Boll & Branch offers its organic cotton sheets in three ultra-soft weaves, and the alpaca wool throws are made of humanely sourced materials.
What Could Be Improved
Its return window is relatively short compared to its competitors.
Boll & Branch sells a range of home essentials, but it’s best known for its bedding. The brand’s organic cotton sheets are some of the finest around, and we especially loved the Signature Hemmed Sheet Set in our testing.
The organic cotton sheets come in three ultra-soft weaves: silky-smooth sateen, crisp percale, and breathable chambray. And since Boll & Branch’s cotton is GOTS and Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex certified, you can rest assured knowing you're paying for quality. The brand’s quilts and blankets are made of top-quality organic cotton, and its down pillows, down duvet inserts, and alpaca wool throws are made of responsibly sourced materials.
Most Boll & Branch items ship within six days and arrive in elegant packaging that makes a great first impression. Unfortunately, the return window is nothing to write home about—just 30 days. But if you notice that something you bought has been marked down within two weeks of your purchase, the brand will grant you a partial refund, thus giving you the discount you missed out on. And you can easily reach customer service via text, call, or email.

Cozy Earth
Cozy Earth
View On Cozy Earth
What Stands Out
Cozy Earth offers free shipping on orders over $50, a 100-day trial period, and a 10-year warranty.
What Could Be Improved
The brand only sells bedding in two materials: bamboo viscose and bamboo linen.
Want to stock up on top-quality bedding made of natural materials? Cozy Earth is the right place to turn. The brand specializes in sleep essentials—like bedding and pajamas—that are soft, breathable, and perfect for cozying up with.
Its bedding comes in just two fabrics: bamboo viscose and a bamboo-linen blend, both of which we’ve tested. While both materials are cooling and breathable, we recommend the bamboo sheets for people who sleep hot and prefer a silky-smooth texture. Cozy Earth also sells nice-to-haves, like silk pillows, silk/bamboo comforters, and bamboo blankets—and many of these items arrive inside a reusable tote bag.
Some, but not all, Cozy Earth products are listed as Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. But the brand offers some of the most generous shipping and return policies around—free shipping on orders over $50, a 100-day trial period, and a 10-year warranty. It’s also easy to get in touch with customer service: You can email, call, or chat with them, or fill out a submission form on the website.

Saatva
Saatva
View On Saatva
What Stands Out
Its splurge-worthy bedding basics are made with top-notch materials, like certified organic cotton, Belgian flax linen, and hypoallergenic latex.
What Could Be Improved
The brand’s bedding is pricey, and shipping takes 5 to 8 days.
Saatva started as a luxury mattress company, but it’s since expanded to offer a range of upscale bedding basics, like splurge-worthy sheets and pillows. We’ve tested all types of bedding from the brand, but we’re partial to the Percale Sheet Set, which washes extremely well and provides plenty of airflow.
Saatva’s bedding selection is small, easy to navigate, and packed with top-notch finds. Its sheets are made of premium materials, like organic cotton and Belgian flax linen. And its covers range from lightweight cotton-viscose quilts to cozy cotton-velvet blankets. The brand also stands out for its luxe mattress toppers and pillows, which are made of quality materials, like graphite-infused memory foam and hypoallergenic latex, and covered with organic cotton.
All of Saatva’s bedding is certified Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex, and its organic pieces are GOTS certified. If you need help while shopping, you can consult a Saatva sleep guide by messaging in a chatbox or calling the brand over the phone. The site offers free shipping on all bedding, free 45-day returns, and 180-day returns on mattress toppers. Our only hang-up? It can take five to eight days for your order to ship, which is long compared to some of our other favorite places to buy sheets.

West Elm
West Elm
View On West Elm
What Stands Out
West Elm offers eye-catching bedding, bedding essentials, and customizable bedding bundles all in one place.
What Could Be Improved
There's only a 30-day return window.
West Elm isn’t just packed with on-trend furniture and decor—it’s also filled with eye-catching linens that would look great on any bed. We’ve tested four sheet sets from the brand—including Tencel, cotton percale, linen, and organic percale options—and they proved to be durable and well-made.
West Elm ticks all the bedding boxes, offering quilts, comforters, blankets, and sheets in a range of colors, prints, and textures. And if you use West Elm’s Build Your Own Bedding Set feature, you can piece together a custom bedding set—mixing and matching items within the same collection until you have exactly what you need. The site also sells bedding necessities, like pillows, duvet inserts, and mattress pads. And many of its bedding items come with GOTS, RDS, and/or Oeko-Tex certifications.
Though West Elm’s shipping policies suggest otherwise, we’ve found the store offers free standard shipping on most bedding orders. Items typically ship within four to five days. Unfortunately, West Elm’s 30-day return window is one of the tightest on our list.

Quince
Quince
View On Quince.com
What Stands Out
Quince sells luxurious bedding at affordable prices, offers free shipping on all orders, and gives you 365 days to return most items.
What Could Be Improved
Most items ship in 6–9 days, and there’s no way to expedite shipping.
If you want luxurious bedding that won’t break the bank, Quince is the perfect place to turn. The brand sells splurge-worthy essentials at mid-range price points, so its site is packed with bedding that looks and feels more expensive than it is. We’ve tested five sets of sheets from Quince, and they were soft, lightweight, and made of high-quality materials.
Quince also sells duvet covers, pillowcases, and blankets, and all of them are made of top-notch materials. You can score organic cotton bedding in four cozy weaves: silky sateen, crisp percale, soft flannel, and plush velvet. You can also find options made from flax linen, bamboo, Tencel jersey, and mulberry silk. And you can pick from a range of cozy cashmere throws.
Except for the Mulberry silk sheets, all of these essentials are refreshingly affordable. And though Quince gives you lots of options, it makes shopping a breeze. Color options are clearly listed under every product, and the brand offers free shipping as well as 365-day returns.
Our only qualm with shopping at Quince is that you can’t expedite shipping. Most items arrive within six to nine days, and we found there’s nothing you can do to speed things up.

What Stands Out
Walmart’s bedding section contains over 40,000 items, including budget-friendly basics and hard-to-find essentials.
What Could Be Improved
Lots of Walmart’s bedding comes from third-party sellers with variable shipping schedules.
Walmart is loaded with budget-friendly home essentials, so it’s a great place to stock up on bedding. Because Walmart is so big—and its website is so wide-ranging—its bedding section is tough to find. But once you’re there, you’ll have over 40,000 options to sift through.
Walmart sells every kind of bedding you can think of. We’re talking sheets, pillowcases, comforters, and quilts—you can even find pillows, duvet inserts, and mattress pads. There’s bedding fit for every mattress size, including harder-to-find sizes like twin XL and split king. Just remember that Walmart is a seller and an aggregator. To avoid third-party sellers, you have to filter by “Walmart” under “Retailer.”
Walmart offers 90-day returns on most items, which you can mail in or bring to the store. And its customer service representatives proved attentive and helpful every time we chatted with them. The store also provides free on orders of $35 or more, and many items ship in just two days. Unfortunately, its third-party sellers are a little less predictable.

Wayfair

View On Wayfair
What Stands Out
The site’s bedding section contains over 50,000 items, and most of them cost less than $175.
What Could Be Improved
Wayfair doesn’t let you filter out third-party sellers, so it’s not always clear who you’re ordering from.
Wayfair is a destination for all kinds of home goods, and its bedding selection doesn’t disappoint. Visit the online store, and you’ll find over 50,000 kinds of bedding—and many of those options are both stylish and affordable.
Though Wayfair’s bedding selection is expansive, we found it easy to navigate. It helps if you go in knowing what you’re looking for. You can filter by type of bedding, bed size, material, and more. The site sells everything from sheets and pillowcases to down comforters and duvet inserts. You can even find bed skirts, weighted blankets, and heated throws. Most of these products cost less than $175, and they’re made from a range of materials, like cotton, linen, and chenille. The only downside? Wayfair lists products from dozens of brands, and it’s not easy to filter out third-party sellers.
Wayfair offers free shipping on orders over $35—an easy threshold to meet—and gives you just 30 days to return most items. Customer service is also accessible: You can reach them via phone, text, or email if you ever have questions or concerns.

Target

View On Target
What Stands Out
Target strikes the perfect balance between the variety and low prices of a big-box store and the style and curated feel of a smaller retailer.
What Could Be Improved
Though the store sells lots of bedding, only a few pieces are certified organic.
When it comes to bedding, Target strikes the perfect middle ground. The big-box store wins on variety, offering everything from pretty comforters to hypoallergenic mattress pads. But since the retailer has a curated feel, you can reliably find stylish stuff there.
Target sells over 4,000 bedding sets, over 2,000 comforters, and over 1,500 sheets and pillowcases. But since you can filter by bed size, color, materials, and more, all those options are easy to sift through. The store’s curated in-house brands (like Opalhouse, Threshold, and Hearth & Hand With Magnolia) make shopping even easier. Once you’ve found an in-house brand you love, you can head straight there and filter out the other options. Some of Target’s bedding is also backed by certifications. It sells a few organic bedding items, which are GOTS-certified, and many others are Oeko-Tex certified.
One of the best things about Target is that it offers 90-day returns. And while the retailer charges a $6 standard shipping fee, we’ve found it waives that charge on orders over $35—which is a pretty low threshold to meet. There are other ways to order, too: Many items are also available for in-store pickup or same-day delivery through Shipt.

Lands’ End

View On Landsend.com
What Stands Out
Lands’ End sells everything from basic bedding to niche essentials, and many items come in an array of colors or prints.
What Could Be Improved
The store’s bedding isn’t backed by many certifications, and it only offers free shipping on orders over $99.
You might know Lands’ End as a clothing company, but the retailer sells a lot more than classic jackets and flannel shirts. The store’s bedding section is buried on its website, but once you get there, you’ll find items that are cute, cozy, and competitively priced.
There are great bedding basics, like cozy patterned cotton sheets and colorful down comforters. But you can also find very specific products, like pleated cotton bed skirts and monogrammed baby blankets. This variety makes Lands’ End a great one-stop shop for bedding. And the range of colors, prints, and price points makes it easy to find what you’re looking for.
Although Lands’ End's bedding doesn't boast as many certifications as you’ll find elsewhere, all of its down is RDS-certified, meaning it's sourced responsibly, and much of its bedding is machine-washable.
As you shop, keep in mind that Lands’ End only offers free shipping on orders over $99, but it does offer a generous 90-day return policy on most items. And you can reach customer service via chat, phone, or email.

Nest Bedding
View On Nest Bedding
What Stands Out
Nest Bedding’s selection is small and easy to sift through, and there’s a customer service chat box on every page.
What Could Be Improved
The brand may not sell exactly what you’re looking for, and its 30-day return policy is short compared to competitors.
Nest Bedding specializes in top-notch mattresses, but it also sells cozy bedding. The brand offers a small range of sheets, blankets, and comforters, making it easy to outfit your bed from top to bottom.
Its site doesn't overwhelm you with options. It sells sheets made of Tencel, bamboo, cotton percale, and cotton sateen—and we’ve tested all of these options. We noticed that Nest Bedding’s sheets are typically very breathable, durable, and cool to the touch. But the brand also sells silk pillowcases, throw blankets, and wool comforters. Many of its products are Fair Trade and Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they’re made sustainably and free of harmful chemicals.
The brand offers free shipping on orders over $75, but there’s no way to speed up delivery. (When we ordered sheets through the website, we were limited to standard shipping.) It's also worth noting that its 30-day return policy is a little short compared to some other bedding brands. Overall, we love how user-friendly Nest Bedding’s website is. And though we didn’t need it, we appreciate that customer service is easy to reach. There’s a chat box on every page, so if you need anything, help is just a message away.
