When browsing for sheets on Amazon, you're greeted by pages upon pages of products, all claiming to be the greatest, softest sheets you've ever felt — and, honestly, no one has time to sift through them all to find the best sheets. Well, except for me, since I test and write about bedding for a living. While you may be tempted to immediately check out the best-sellers with hundreds of thousands of reviews, many sheets we've tested are available on Amazon, including some hidden gems you'd never find scrolling through the endless pages.

I've picked out the best sheets on Amazon, with options for every budget. My top recommendation is the Mellanni Iconic Collection Sheets Set, an affordable microfiber set available in classic and fun colors with a silky, cooling feel. The best sheets on Amazon for hot sleepers are the Sijo Airyweight Sheets, a unique set made with eco-friendly eucalyptus.

Mellanni's sheets are true to their name — they're iconic. If you're searching for the best budget sheets on Amazon, this set is it. Made from microfiber for a cozy, velvety feel, Mellanni's sheets cost under $40 for a queen-size set. You'll frequently find them on sale, too, especially during events like Prime Day.

They're the best affordable sheets for hot sleepers. The Mellanni sheets take the budget spot in our best cooling sheets guide. Our tester found that the set had excellent heat dissipation, successfully pulling heat away from the body while sleeping. They aren't necessarily cool-to-the-touch, but we've had no issues overheating or sweating during testing.

My favorite part: There's over 40 colors. Mellanni offers one of the widest color ranges I've ever seen, with shades ranging from classic white to a vivid traffic cone orange (if that's what you're into). There are also a few striped options — I bought the purple-and-white striped set for my sister to match her dorm bed to her school's colors. They're also available in non-standard sizes, like RV queen and extra deep-pocket, though colors are limited for those options.

They're covered by a lifetime warranty. Mellanni's sheets have a lifetime warranty — a true rarity in the bedding space. We're continually impressed with Mellanni's quality, especially for the price, and the warranty is yet another bonus.

Bamboo sheets are my favorite bedding. I'm a lover of bamboo sheets. They're almost magical, perfectly blending sateen-like softness with impressive breathability and a cool-to-the-touch feel. This set from Bampure is the value pick in our guide to the best bamboo sheets, and it's one of the rare options under $100 that doesn't sacrifice quality.

Bampure's set is everything bamboo sheets should be. Our tester was impressed with Bampure's texture and feel. They were surprisingly thick for the price, and they got softer after each wash. Despite the heavy feel, they still wicked away moisture and kept cool throughout our testing period. Plus, the elastic bands on the corners kept the fitted sheet in place, with no bunching fabric or slipping corners to be seen.

Choose from 11 colors. Bampure's set is sold in a range of neutral colors, including navy, charcoal, and beige. We wish there was twin XL sizing, though.


A silky-soft eucalyptus set for hot sleepers

The silky soft AiryWeight Eucalyptus sheets are made of Tencel Lyocell and excel in keeping you cool and dry, making them one of the best options for hot sleepers.

Say goodbye to night sweats — these sheets actually keep you cool. I'm a hot sleeper, so I know what it's like to wake up tangled in sweaty sheets. Long story short: it's no fun. While the Mellanni and Bampure sheets are both excellent picks for hot sleepers, this set from Sijo takes cooling to the next level.

They're the best cooling sheets on Amazon for hot sleepers. Sijo's Tencel Lyocell fabric — a material crafted from wood pulp — is made with eucalyptus. The feel is similar to bamboo sheets with the cooling capabilities cranked up a few notches. Our tester found that this set has the perfect combination of comfort, softness, and cooling, earning it the top spot in our best cooling sheets guide.

This set is backed by third-party certifications. Sijo's sheets are certified by a slew of eco-friendly organizations. They're Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they're made without harsh substances, certified Allergy and Asthma Friendly, and only use Fair Trade- and PEFC-certified eucalyptus. So, you can feel good about where the materials are coming from and how they're made.

You can buy individual pieces separately. When buying Sijo's set, you can choose to buy a three-piece set, a four piece-set, or an individual top sheet. The three-piece set doesn't include a top sheet, perfect for the top sheet haters out there. At over $180 for a queen set, they're a little pricey, but we think they're well worth the cost.


The luxurious sheets used in five-star hotels

When you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars a night to sleep at a luxury hotel, H by Frette's smooth and luxurious sateen sheets will take you there instead.

Frette's sheets can be found on beds at the Ritz-Carlton — and they're sold on Amazon. It's not all budget sheets on Amazon. These sheets from H by Frette are truly luxurious, beloved by extravagant hotels across the globe. They're our favorite hotel-style set in our best sheets guide, thanks to their elegant look and premium feel.

You'll feel like you're waking up in a luxury hotel every morning, minus the room service. Our tester loved H by Frette's sheets from the second she unboxed them. Made with 100% long-staple cotton, they feel noticeably thick and sumptuous. While sateen weaves can sometimes feel too warm for some, the H by Frette sateen set combined softness with a smooth, cool texture.

They hold up to wear. The long-staple cotton is not only cozy, it's durable, too. I doubt you'll be washing your bedding as frequently as a hotel does, but even if you do, these sheets should last you for years.

But they're expensive and only available in white. Keeping with the hotel theme, H by Frette sheets are only available in white for a simple, minimalist look. At over $300 for a queen-size set, they cost a pretty penny, but we think the investment pays off considering they're extra durable.


A cozy flannel set with rustic designs

Eddie Bauer Flannel Sheets

$48.97 $69.99 Save 30%

The Eddie Bauer Flannel Sheets are half the price of competitors and come in the most fun prints and patterns. They're comfortable but not quite as soft as our other top picks.

Check mark icon A check mark. It indicates a confirmation of your intended interaction. Low lint
Check mark icon A check mark. It indicates a confirmation of your intended interaction. Many print options
Check mark icon A check mark. It indicates a confirmation of your intended interaction. Affordable

What we don't like

con icon Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. Not as soft as our other recommendations

Flannel sheets are the ideal warm, winter bedding. Flannel is made from brushed cotton or wool for a warm, fuzzy feel. It's our favorite kind of sheets for the colder months, since it keeps you warm even during the chilliest winter nights. This set from Eddie Bauer is the budget pick in our best flannel sheets guide, balancing comfort with affordability.

Eddie Bauer's flannel sheets are surprisingly lightweight. Some flannel sheet sets can feel stifling, since they're specifically designed to retain heat. That's not the case with this set from Eddie Bauer. The sheets have a distinctly lightweight, breathable feel, so they won't overheat. The trade-off is that they aren't as soft or warm as other flannel sheets, but our tester still found them plenty comfortable.

I love the fun patterns. I'm a sucker for the best patterned sheets, so these prints stand out to me. You'll find a range of rustic designs, from fauna like bears and ice-skating begins to flora like pine cones and festive holiday forests.

They're a steal. These sheets are usually just over $60 for a queen-size set, but it's not uncommon to find them on sale for $40. Last Black Friday, I even spotted them for $25.
