“Yes, these sheets are incredibly expensive, but they turn my bed into a cozy haven,” says editor Abby Hepworth. “They’re ridiculously soft, help me stay cool in the summer and make me feel like I’m sleeping at a luxury resort (instead of my tiny NYC apartment). I was initially worried about my two kitties tearing them apart, but other than a few punctures, they’ve actually held up really well.” It’s worth noting that Hepworth did dock a few points for value, because of the cost. “To be honest, I love my $25 sheet set from Amazon just as much. While I highly recommend these, I’d say only get them if you truly have the cash to spare or if you’re filling out your wedding registry,” she adds. Each set comes with four pieces (a duvet cover, fitted sheet and two pillowcases).

Yes, you want sheets that are comfortable and cooling, but you also want them to fit in with the rest of your bedroom decor. Soho Home offerings feature 100 percent natural flax-fiber linen grown in Europe and woven outside of Porto in seven chic colorways. The light grey and light pink options are perfect for giving off those Scandi-minimalist vibes, while the mustard, olive and sage shades are better suited for a more rustic look (we can also totally imagine the rust and navy options in a country home setting). “I love these sheets,” executive editor Alexia Dellner tells us. “They're super comfortable and even manage to cool down my always-overheated husband at night. I also adore the sage shade that is so soothing and beautiful to look at.” Dellner also likes that the sheets are easy to take care of (“simply wash and tumble dry on low and you're good to go”), although she notes that you do have to buy the pillowcases ($45) and fitted sheet ($95) separately.

Brooklinen’s buttery soft Linen Hardcore Sheet Bundle truly stood out from the competitors. One editor, who happens to be a die-hard fan of percale sheets, tested the set out and it made her a total convert to linen. She says, “I love the slightly undone look of linen sheets, but I love the crisp, soft feel of cotton. I was slightly apprehensive about trying something different, but Brooklinen’s sheets are so soft, and not the least bit scratchy (which is what I was picturing). They give my room a bit more of a carefree, California vibe—I feel more relaxed just looking at them.” While this set is on the pricier side, it does come with quite a few pieces: one core sheet set (fitted sheet, flat sheet, two pillowcases), one duvet cover, and two extra pillowcases.

“These West Elm sheets have all the benefits of linen (more breathable and lightweight) but still maintain a dreamy, smoother texture similar to cotton,” says account manager, Katie Russell. The result? A tight weave that creates a creamy feel versus the sometimes-scratchy finish than linen can have. There’s a great variety of colors as well, from crisp white to midnight blue. “I personally have the frost gray set, which just seems to get better with use,” Russell adds. Each set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases.

If you’re the type of person who just can’t give up the crisp feel of cotton, but like the look of linen, may we suggest going for a linen duvet cover rather than a whole sheet set? The Citizenry’s is ultra-soft thanks to the brand’s stonewashing technique. One of our testers notes that the functionality of these are great, too. “This duvet cover is my favorite, because it includes a button closure at the bottom and interior corner ties, which keep the duvet insert from bunching and swimming around inside,” she says. “If you know me, you know that’s my biggest annoyance with duvet covers, so the extra secure hold on this one is much appreciated.”

Parachute’s linen sheets are definitely the trendiest on this list, due to both their chic color options and convenient bundles (the blush and terra hues are always sold out). This set comes with everything you need—a fitted sheet, duvet cover and two pillowcases—plus the option to add a flat sheet or not. Our tester says: “When I first pictured my bed covered in linen sheets, I envisioned a pink, marshmallowy cloud of goodness. And that’s exactly what Parachute delivered. The blush hue skews on the neutral side, so they coordinate with a lot more than I’d originally anticipated. I also grabbed a few shams in the terra color to use as an accent, and I’m obsessed. They had a bit more of a starchy feel when I first got them, but they get a little softer every time I throw them in the wash.” Each set includes one fitted sheet, one pillowcase set and one duvet cover.

"Disclaimer: I had never tried linen sheets before this MagicLinen set, so I don't have much to compare them to. But ever since I started using linen, I can confidently say that I would never go back,” says Angela Pares, editorial director of branded content. She goes on, “These sheets take a bit of getting used to at the beginning—as you can imagine if you've slept on cotton sheets your whole life. But after one night, all unfamiliarity fades away and you'll just melt into a cool and comfy slumber. The sheets get better (and softer) with each wash, and the fact that they're supposed to look tousled is a huge bonus for my type-A personality." Includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and two pillowcases.

We already gave the Citizenry’s Stonewashed linen duvet cover a shoutout, but we also reviewed the brand's linen bed bundle, and we were duly impressed. These sheets are not cheap, but you can rest assured (literally) that you’re paying for a high-quality product. The linen bed bundle includes a sheet set, duvet cover and two extra pillowcases—the whole shebang. These sheets are made in Portugal and, according to the website, the Citizenry is so renowned for its linen sheets that they are often given as the standard wedding gift in the country. If you’re looking to splurge on a luxury bed bundle—or looking to add to your wedding registry—the Citizenry is a great choice.

You might think that linen sheets are just that—linen sheets. They’re typically made with flax, but this set is made with hemp, which just happens to be a more eco-friendly alternative. Our fashion director is obsessed with them saying, "If you want something slightly heavier (and a touch less wrinkle-proof) than cotton linen, give Buffy's Hemp Linen sheets a try. It's just as breathable but far more earth-friendly—and the brand rightfully brags that their version is also more durable, thanks to hemp's extra-long staple fiber length." Just note: Buffy’s sheets (includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and two pillowcases) only come in soft white and two earthy tan options.

These airy sheets by Saatva are crafted from 100 percent premium Belgian flax. Saatva promises that its linen is hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, breathable and long-lasting. It's also OEKO-TEX certified, so you can breathe deeply and sleep peacefully at night knowing that these sheets are free from any harmful chemicals. Lastly, since it's linen, the fabric will get softer and more relaxed with every wash. Includes one flat sheet, one deep fitted sheet and two pillowcases.

Chambray sheets are infinitely gorgeous, and chambray sheets in linen add that extra layer of luxury. These sheets are woven from organically grown French flax and are crafted using traditional water-saving techniques—this is a great sustainable choice. Coyuchi is celebrated for its high-quality, minimally-processed linens. One of our favorite features of these sheets, however, is the relaxed chambray color palette that Coyuchi says is inspired by the coast—perfect for channeling your inner Coastal Grandma. Includes one flat sheet, one fitted sheet and two pillowcases.

This breathable sheet set is deliberately designed to be simple—it lets the 100 percent French flax linen fabric do all the talking. Fanciful designs and intricate embellishments may be fun and all, but are they really contributing to your best night’s sleep? This sheet set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, two pillowcases and absolutely zero gimmicks.
