If you’re wondering if you need the best sheets to get a good night’s sleep, consider just how much time you spend in them. Other products might be daily staples in your life — a simple coffee maker, a home office printer, a big smart TV — but none of them are in use for roughly eight of the 24 hours in a day.
I used to not care about the sheets I put on my mattress. They simply had to be clean. But when I realized I spend about a third of my life bundled up between them, devoting my product testing to finding the most comfortable sheet set for every season became a necessity. Flannel sheets to stay warm during the winter, linen sheets to cool off come summer, and versatile cotton sheets to appease my wife when she gets sick of the constant cycle of new testing materials.
But getting the best sheets doesn’t mean spending the most money. And depending on how hot or cool your body gets at night, completely different classifications of sheets might qualify as the “best” for you while not exactly being the next person’s cup of tea. That’s fine. After testing dozens of sheet sets for nearly two years, with additional findings from my CNN Underscored colleagues, the goal is to help you find your perfect fit in the vast world of sheets. These are our four favorites right now, but click into each review for more on our testing processes and other options within each category.
