Best Bedding Sets 2022: From Luxury Brands to Quality Affordable Bedding

C

Creating the optimal sleeping environment for a long, restful sleep starts with the right bedding.

Once you’ve invested in a mattress with just the right firmness, a duvet for the season, and pillows that offer both comfort and support, your choice of sheets is the next thing to consider.

There are few things that quite compare to the luxurious feeling of slipping into a set of fresh, crisp linens that make all your cares and worries just melt away – but this shouldn’t be reserved for laundry day alone. With the right luxury bedding, you can experience this every night and on lazy mornings and bed days.

As a respite from the world, your bed is a sanctuary and should be treated as such by draping your bed with sumptuous fabrics, quality construction, and enviable thread counts. Also, keep an eye out for brands that excel at sustainability, whether through partnerships with the Better Cotton Initiative or donations to charities.

What does thread count mean?

Thread count refers to the vertical and horizontal threads per square inch (aka how tightly woven it is). This does not necessarily testify to the quality of the product, but gives an indication of the feel. However, as a rule of thumb, higher thread counts – 750+ – are denser, while lower thread counts can be airier and lighter. The material used is much more important when choosing bed linen.

What fabric do you want your bedding to be made of?

Cotton is the most common material, but for opulence you may prefer silk or newer fabric block, eucalyptus. Egyptian cotton is known as the best cotton variety in the world, offering a higher thread count but still maintaining its durability and breathability.

Just a word of warning, you might find it even harder to leave the bedding set selection below in the morning, so maybe opt for a backup alert just in case.

Mela Eucalyptus Silk Sheet Set

Snuggle up in the irresistibly soft Mela sheets. Made from eucalyptus, linen is ideal for hot sleepers and warm summer nights as it is naturally sweat-wicking and regulates body temperature.

The brand compares it to a cotton thread count of 1000 and sources the material from regenerative forests in Austria and the Czech Republic using a process that uses 10 times less water than cotton – so there’s a mark of sustainability too. With every purchase there is a donation to Young Minds.

It’s also Oeko-Tex certified and the fabric is so soft it should prevent hair breakage and skin wrinkles in the same way a silk pillowcase would, so you can enjoy your beauty sleep. The sheets are available in stone, pastel pink and white and the set includes a fitted sheet, a duvet cover and either one or two pillowcases depending on the size you choose.

Bedfolk Linen Package

The sheets are available in rust, ink, rose, moss, clay and the snow tone shown and the set includes the duvet cover and two pillows with the option to add a fitted sheet or flat sheet.
