The Best Bed Sheets, According to Interior Designers

The quality of a good set of sheets is as subjective as the quality of a white T-shirt: one person’s airy linen bedding is another person’s scratching nightmare. This makes investing in a new thing worth spending some time thinking about – are you hot or cold? From an aesthetic point of view, do you prefer a comfortable living environment or a simple hotel style? How well do you understand patterns? It turns out that interior designers are just as picky as we are when it comes to sourcing panels (for themselves and their clients), so to sort out a few questions we went straight to the pros.

While our panel of experts all came up with different recommendations, there are some commonalities. High-end brands like Sferra and Frette are expensive but durable and mentioned many times. As for the most sought-after material? That distinction comes down to percale, a cool, durable matte fabric. Often, this is what hotels use to achieve that post-vacation luxury feeling we all try to replicate in our own homes.

Ahead, 10 interior designers share where they buy their favorite sheets and how to style your own like a pro.

“Frette has been my standard for as long as I can remember. The Classic set has incredible weight and softness, and it’s only gotten better over time. I always keep beds simple. The materials are of the moment.”

“My favorite go-to sheets are our Nickey Kehoe white cotton sheets. They’re the perfect crisp percale sheets when you first go to bed and get softer with every wash. This set has beautiful stitching and plenty of detail and presence. I also love these percale sheets from Coyuchi: They have a soft, warm, slightly crinkly texture that makes you feel relaxed in bed.”
