15 Softest Sheets Money Can Buy in 2025

If you've got a big luxury mattress, you'll be grateful for the depth on these sheets, which fit mattresses up to 20 inches. The bamboo fabric is breathable, moisture wicking, and great for anyone sharing a set of sheets with a sleeper who runs at a different temperature.

And before you disregard this, we also were skeptical about bamboo sheets. But after careful testing, we realized these are the best damn sheets on the planet. Out of the box, the bamboo-viscose fabric is softer than any cotton sheets, and they hold up just as well over time.

Cotton does a lot of things right. It's airy, breathable, easy to launder, works year-round—all that good stuff. But not all cotton is the same. The source material—and the attention to construction—makes all the difference. Sijo's LuxeSoft cotton sheets feel more cozy than crisp, and they're cozy without trapping body heat. They're also designed to be wrinkle resistant, and though they don't necessarily stay wrinkle-free completely, they do stay surprisingly smooth throughout use.

Usually bamboo sheets give more silky than soft, but Sunday Citizen's sheets may have convinced us otherwise. Don't get us wrong: The bamboo is still silky, and if you want something more matte and cozy, they won't be for you. However, they are a smoother silk than similar bamboo sheets, so they feel supersoft but still have those extremely good cooling properties. They're a splurge, but they are lovely.

The Citizenry's resort cotton sheets feel soft and inviting, really perfecting the climb-into-bed coziness all sheets, beds, and sleepers aim for. These sheets are comfy and designed with organic long-staple cotton in a high-quality weave. They're a great option for something cozy that doesn't run too hot, like a lightweight flannel type. They are a bit satiny out of the box, but they soften and become more matte with use and washing.

Boll & Branch's flannel-sheet set is the ideal swap for winter sleep. It's still cotton, with all that breathability and such, but the flannel is a bit heavier and cozier. They're a great soft-sheet option for colder climates and anyone who likes sleeping warm. Like many flannel fabrics tend to do, though, they can pill in high-contact areas, according to some reviewers.

California Design Den's cotton percale sheets are a great budget pick for soft sheets that cost around $50. They have a soft, matte finish with nicely sized pockets (15 inches), which are friendly for thicker mattresses. They're not as long-lasting as some of the more expensive ones, but we like having them as a pair to pull into rotation during laundry day or for use in rooms that get a little less use, like a guest bedroom.

Ralph Lauren took the look of its classic oxford shirt and turned it into a pair of sheets. No, these aren't full-on heavyweight oxford fabric, but they have a bit more of that than other sheets. They're weighty and crisp to the touch, and they have details similar to those on an oxford shirt—button closures and contrast topstitching.

Now, that might not scream, "Soft sheets!" and out of the box, they're not the softest on this list. These sheets only get really good after a few wash-and-dry cycles. Like that favorite oxford shirt, they get perfectly soft over time, with the ideal weight and drape. Don't be afraid to run these through regular hot cycles.

A lot of sheets are made with cotton from the States, but very few sets are actually sewn in the U.S.A. Enter these. American Blossom Linens has a factory in Thomaston, Georgia, where sheets have been sewn since 1899. In a time when a lot of manufacturing has gone elsewhere, it's nice to see brands that are dedicated to employing American craftspeople.

There's actually a good chance you've already slept on American Blossom Linens sheets, because the company mostly does work supplying hotel chains like Hyatt, Marriott, and Sheraton. So if you're looking for those crisp but soft hotel sheets, buy from the people who make sheets for hotels.

I have a Purple mattress and thus am partial to these Purple sheets, which are super stretchy and easy to put on a mattress as thick as my own. The fitted sheet doesn't rely on flimsy elastic here: There's a thick elastic band that will go right on and not slip off.

Again, these sheets are predominantly woven from a bamboo-viscose fabric. Like those Cozy Earth sheets, they are supersoft from day one. The downside is that they tend not to last as long as cotton sheets.

Percale is a crowd favorite among those who like their sheets soft. It's the typical weave you'll find in hotels. It's cool to the touch and luxuriously soft. Quince's sheets offer high quality for a reasonable price. They're silkier than a jersey cotton but not slippery like a sateen. An overall great choice for most beds and most sleepers.

Buffy's bread and butter is making cooling sheets for hot sleepers, which is especially useful during the warmer months. The sheets are made from an airy eucalyptus Tencel, which is similar to the bamboo-viscose options earlier in the list. These sheets are great for hot sleepers. They're supersoft, and they drape like a nice jersey fabric.

If you tend to get cold in the night, there's perhaps nothing cozier or more luxe than sheets blended with cashmere. Just 5 percent cashmere gives these sheets from Brooklinen an incredibly soft feel, like an incredibly lightweight sweater.

They're not as hot as you would expect, but the downside to this set is that they retain more heat than any of the full-cotton options on the list.

Sateen is a classic weave for soft sheets that have a silky overlay. Riley Home makes a set that we found to be simple and executes well on the prompt. The set feels soft and won't let you run too hot or too cool. While they're soft right out of the box, they only get better each time you wash them.

Parachute is one of the pricier brands around, but its stuff really holds up—even after multiple washes. This is a whole brushed-cotton set, including the duvet, but you can pick and choose the items you want. For a total bed overhaul, this is a great set.

As for the fabric, we found this brushed cotton to be a lot softer than the percales and sateens of the world. For us, it sits somewhere between a hotel sheet and a classic flannel sheet. It runs a little bit warm, but it could still be a year-round sheet set.

There are all these new, fun DTC brands popping up in the bedding space, but don't sleep on the classics. L.L.Bean's comfort flannel is a tried-and-true favorite.

As if we were expecting anything different, these sheets were just as soft as we remembered. When winter comes and you switch out your warm-weather sheets for flannel, it's as if you've never felt anything so soft. These might be the softest on the list, but they run seriously warm as a consequence.

Our experts personally test all manner of home goods, and unlike the AI-generated garbage you're inundated with daily, these are real reviews from real experts. When we test, we actually drink the alcohol, use the sheets, and stay in the hotels.
