Compare Bed Sheet Fabrics

When choosing which sheets are right for you, everything comes down to weight, texture, appearance, and value.

Consider the following questions:

  • Are you looking for breathable, lightweight sheets, or heavier, warm sheets?
  • Are you looking for a texture that’s silky, crisp, or simply soft?
  • Are there special features, like moisture wicking properties, that are important?
  • Do you want easy-care, wrinkle-resistant sheets?

Prefer soft, silky smooth bedding? Choose Sateen.

Prefer crisp, cool bedding? Choose batiste, voile, or percale.

Always cold? Choose flannel or jersey.

Need temperature regulating? Choose breathable cotton, linen, silk, or rayon from bamboo.
