Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (2024)

Boll & Branch

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (1)

What We Like

  • Timeless styles

  • Certified organic materials

  • Focus on quality and sustainability

  • Complimentary fabric swatches available

  • GOTS- and Standard 100 Oeko-Tex-cerfitied

What We Don't Like

  • Customer service is only accessible on weekdays

  • Strict return policy

If you’re hesitant to drop upwards of $200 on sheets online without checking them out in person first, our editors can vouch that Boll & Branch’s products are worth adding to your cart sight unseen.

The brand’s extensive catalog of duvets, quilts, and mattresses (the latter of which earned top marks in comfort, temperature regulation, and movement isolation in our testing, by the way) can be filtered by seven fabrics and several colorways ranging from muted pastels to painterly patterns, as well as classic florals and stripes.

Despite the myriad choices, we turn to the Signature Hemmed Sheet Set (our Best Overall organic sheet set pick) time and time again. Exceptionally soft and lightweight, these sheets are constructed with nothing but 100 percent long-staple organic cotton. The design details—such as a 7-inch hemline, 17-inch deep pocket, and top-stitched elastic, for starters—speak volumes to the quality level.

Plus, if you’re ordering from the U.S., shipping and returns are free of charge. You’ll have a 30-day window to change your mind, as long as the products are still in unused condition with the original tags and packaging, that is.

Questions regarding your order can be fielded on weekdays. But editors who have personally reached out have had nothing but pleasant exchanges. In fact, when items were missing in one delivery, the brand was swift to remedy the problem, no fees incurred.

Return Policy: Free return shipping within 30 days | Warranty Policy: Not listed | Delivery Options: Free US ground shipping | Payment Options: Credit or debit, PayPal, Shop Pay, Amazon Pay, Google Pay | Retail Locations: Yes | Certifications: Varies, including GOTS-certified organic, OEKO-TEX Standard 100

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Boll & Branch offers a 15 percent discount on your first purchase of $200 or more. You’ll typically see sitewide promotions as high as 25 percent off during shopping holidays, but the brand is also known for its semi-annual sales take up to 60 percent off bedding and accessories.

Brooklinen

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (2)

What We Like

  • Moderate prices

  • Top-tier custom service

  • Contemporary design

What We Don't Like

  • Return fee

For those seeking contemporary patterns, limited-edition colorways, and a frequent rotation of designer collaborations, New York-based home brand Brooklinen is it. Since its founding in 2012, the company has continued to amass a loyal following. Its best-selling Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set secured a spot in our best sheet sets roundup, where testers praised its buttery-smooth texture (thanks to a 100 percent long-staple cotton construction), elegant sheen, and thoughtful design.

But sateen isn’t the only option Brooklinen offers; you can also scoop up crisp percale, washed linen, cozy heathered cashmere, and brushed flannel to suit all sorts of sleep persuasions, particularly if you run hot or cold.

But the biggest benefit of shopping at Brooklinen is the extensive color palette and frequent seasonal drops in florals, stripes, and checks. Playful patterns adorn other bedding accessories, including blankets and quilts, at a mid-range price point.

If you’re wary of dropping $500-plus, Brooklinen falls neatly between budget-friendly and high-end but still feels plenty more luxurious than the price tag suggests.

We also appreciate that, upon checkout, the retailer automatically applies any existing discount codes to your order total, so you don’t have to chase down any prom codes on your own. Moreover, you’ll qualify for free standard shipping if you spend $100 or more.

Another reason Brooklinen often earns a top spot in our reviews (see: the best comforters), is the fact that you have a whopping 365 days to determine whether or not you’re content with your choice. There’s a decent $9.95 restocking fee, but that’s nothing compared to having to eat the full price.

Return Policy: $9.95 return shipping within 365 days | Warranty Policy: Two years | Delivery Options: UPS, FedEx, USPS | Payment Options: Credit or debit, PayPal, Shop Pay, Amazon Pay | Retail Locations: Yes | Certifications: Varies, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100

When is the Best Time to Buy?

If you’ve never purchased Brooklinen before, you’re in luck—first-time buyers can take 15 percent off one item by signing up for the brand’s newsletter. And while we’ve seen discounts up to 25 percent off during shopping holidays, such as Sleep Week, the best deals are reserved for the annual Birthday Sale in April, when savings are as great as 45 percent, particularly when you bundle.

Parachute

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (3)

What We Like

  • Earthy color schemes

  • Free shipping and returns

  • Free style consultations

  • Focus on sustainability

  • Several brick-and-mortar locations

What We Don't Like

  • Fabric swatches aren’t free

  • No warranty on sheets

Parachute is committed to sourcing premium natural materials, like European flax and Egyptian cotton harvested along the Nile River. Every textile is garment-washed, dyed in small batches, and handmade into bedding in northern Portugal.

With a timeless array of earth tones and seasonal colors to choose from, the brand has gained a reputation for its lived-in, luxe looks. Sophisticated details, like contrast piping and stitching, twill duvet ties, and envelope-back pillowcase closures only up the elegance factor.

Shop percale, sateen, linen, and brushed cotton from Parachute, along with down and down-alternative duvet inserts, plus a plethora of other bedroom essentials like quilts and pillows. Purchase either pre-made bundles or individual pieces sold separately—for instance, if you don’t need a top sheet, you can opt out of paying for one altogether.

If our editors had to pick just one set to recommend, it’d have to be the brand’s linen offering (our Best Overall linen sheet set), which our testers describe as super comfy, stain-resistant, and an ideal choice for hot sleepers thanks to a lightweight, airy drape.

Aside from its vast assortment, Parachute also provides shoppers with a 60-day return policy, free shipping, and a three-year warranty on its pillows and mattress pads, as well as a longer five-year guarantee on its duvet inserts.

Return Policy: Free return shipping within 60 days (with some exceptions) | Warranty Policy: Not listed | Delivery Options: UPS, USPS for PO Box addresses, White glove | Payment Options: Credit or debit, Affirm, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay | Retail Locations: Yes | Certifications: Varies, including GOTS-certified cotton, OEKO-TEX Standard 100

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Aside from its up to 75 percent-off Warehouse Sale that happens every spring, Parachute doesn’t often tout sitewide promos. Its “Last Chance” section is worth scoping out any time of the year, however, since you can typically sniff out post-season styles up to 40 percent off.

Buffy

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (4)

There’s a reason why Buffy bills itself as “the planet’s best bedding.” All of its products—comforters, sheets, blankets, pillows, and mattress protectors—are made from eco-conscious materials that help keep the bedding cool. This makes the brand’s offerings a fantastic choice for both the sustainably minded and hot sleepers.

It’s all worth trying, especially if you’ve had trouble finding the right thing in the past. Here at The Spruce, we particularly liked both the Buffy Cloud Comforter (our best overall down alternative comforter), a medium-weight option with a smooth and cool feel, and the breathable Buffy Breeze Sheet Set (our best splurge eucalyptus sheet set).

Don’t worry about trying something new, either. Buffy offers a seven-day free trial, so you can sleep with a product before fully committing. If you decide it’s not for you, you can return the product free of charge.

Return Policy: Free return shipping within 50 days | Warranty Policy: Limited lifetime warranty | Delivery Options: FedEx, UPS, USPS | Payment Options: Credit or debit, Shop Pay, PayPal | Retail Locations: No | Certifications: Varies, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Buffy offers a discount on your first purchase—just add your email. During Sleep Week, we have seen savings of up to 20 percent off. Similarly, during Black Friday and other big shopping holidays, that can spike to 25 percent off.

Quince

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (5)

What We Like

  • High-end linens at reasonable prices

  • Unique color options

  • Free shipping and returns

What We Don't Like

  • Shipping times may be slightly longer than competitors

  • Organic certifications not provided

Luxe bedding doesn’t have to break the bank if you buy from Quince, a direct-to-consumer retailer. Quince definitely isn’t necessarily a budget bedding retailer, but it does offer lower price points than many of its luxury competitors despite selling products of comparable quality.

It has a moderately sized catalog, with over 80 bedding products across all categories at press time. You can shop for sheets, duvet covers, quilts, shams, and other bedding accessories on the website. Quince offers sheet sets starting at less than $100, which we think is more than fair, considering a similar set may cost you hundreds of dollars elsewhere.

In terms of sheets, you can find percale, sateen, and bamboo options on the site. We categorized the Quince Luxury Organic Sateen Sheet Set as our best breathable option of the sateen sheets we tested. This sheet set has high-quality construction, top-notch breathability, and luxurious softness—we just wish Quince's cotton was certified organic by a third party, such as GOTS.

We also enjoyed the Organic Luxe Waffle Duvet Cover, which feels exceptionally well made. And if you’re looking to create a unique and elegant bedscape, you’ll want to check out Quince’s wide range of design-forward color options sure to make a statement.

When we shopped on Quince’s website, we found it easy to find exactly what we were looking for and browse through its catalog. Plus, you can enjoy free shipping and returns with no minimum order total. Note that Quince’s shipping time is ever-so-slightly longer than its competitors at six to nine business days, but you can always opt to pay an added fee for expedited shipping.

Return Policy: Free returns within one year | Warranty Policy: Not listed | Delivery Options: Not listed | Payment Options: Credit or debit, Shop Pay, Amazon Pay, PayPal, Google Pay | Retail Locations: No | Certifications: Varies, including OEKO-TEX Standard 100

Cozy Earth

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (6)

What We Like

  • High-end construction

  • Design-forward styles

  • Ethical supply chain

  • Free standard shipping

What We Don't Like

  • Small catalog

  • Limited selection of materials

We can confirm that Cozy Earth is worth the splurge, earning top marks as one of the best bamboo sheets you can buy. Technically, the fabric is viscose made from bamboo or a semi-synthetic blend of bamboo and linen, but these sheets are far silkier than the real deal (even softer than sateen, in our opinion) delivering a sumptuous drape and slight sheen that looks every bit as luxurious as the set feels.

Our testers were equally impressed by the deep pockets, a necessity as the fitted sheet has been known to shrink over time if proper care instructions aren’t strictly followed (cold water and light tumble dry only).

It’s hard to question quality when a brand backs its product with a whopping 10-year warranty against typical aging bedding woes like pilling and abnormal rips and tears. But buyers can see if the hype is real for themselves, thanks to a 100-night risk-free trial that extends to its pillows and comforters, too.

While the price tag on other bedroom essentials is also relatively steep, ranging from roughly $70 for a pair of pillowcases to $439 for a king-size bundle that includes a flat sheet, top sheet, and two pillowcases. Hitting the minimum spend of $50 for free standard shipping typically isn’t an issue, and orders typically arrive between three and five business days.

Return Policy: Free return shipping within 100 days | Warranty Policy: 10 years | Delivery Options: USPS, UPS, DHL, OnTrac | Payment Options: Credit or debit, Amazon Pay, PayPal | Retail Locations: No | Certifications: None listed

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Any time is a good time to shop at Cozy Earth. There’s almost always some sort of promotion running, with seasonal discounts of anywhere from 25 to 40 percent off popping up on the direct-to-consumer website frequently.

Kassatex

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (7)

What We Like

  • Unique, design-forward patterns and textures

  • High-quality construction

  • Free U.S. ground shipping

What We Don't Like

  • No warranty on sheets

Block-print quilted shams, unique embroidered details, and proprietary fabric blends—there’s a reason Kassatex linens start at $225, and why the brand has been tapped by 1 Hotels to supply its rooms with recycled down-filled pillows, custom slippers, and more.

But you don’t have to book a room to bring the 5-star experience home. Kassatex can be found on shelves at Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, and other luxury retailers.

We thoroughly recommend the Linen-Bamboo Sheet Set (one of the best bamboo sheets), for its soft, lightweight, and breathable feel. Or, consider the brands own take on percale, which includes a 40 percent mix of long-staple cotton and 60 percent Tencel lyocell (fibers woven from Eucalyptus trees), to soften the notoriously crisp and sometimes scratchy fabric.

We’re also big fans of Kassatex’s European White Goose Down Pillow (the best firm choice of down pillows), which is exceptionally comfortable, suitable for any sleeping position, and available in multiple firmness levels, despite featuring a 650 fill power (80 percent down and 20 percent feathers) that’s loftier than others available on the market, offering a bit more support.

Color choices across the board are muted and relatively limited, honing in on the 5-star hotel vibe. If you want subdued sheets in classic shades of white, Kassatex delivers. So much so that interior designers like Jessie Schuster and Erin Gates use the brand in their own homes and for projects, and we can’t think of a better testimonial to quality than that.

Return Policy: Free return shipping within 60 days; monogrammed, gift card, and last call orders cannot be returned | Warranty Policy: None listed | Delivery Options: FedEx | Payment Options: Credit or debit, Shop Pay, Amazon Pay, or PayPal | Retail Locations: No | Certifications: None listed

When is the Best Time to Buy?

First purchases are entitled to a 15 percent discount if you sign up for the brand's newsletter. We've also spotted discounts as great as 30 percent off during major shopping holidays like Black Friday.

Coyuchi

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (8)

What We Like

  • Wide range of bedding

  • Certified organic materials

  • Sustainable and ethical manufacturing

  • Generous return policy

What We Don't Like

  • Limited colors and patterns

When it comes to organic bedding, Coyuchi has been an industry leader for more than 30 years. All its products are made purely with certified, raw materials and refined eco-friendly processes (GOTS certifications, for instance, apply to its entire assortment)—you won’t find plant-based softeners and plastic packaging here.

Coyuchi’s cooling, crinkly percale is arguably its best-seller, but the bedding purveyor also offers sateen cotton, jersey, and brushed flannel options in a range of earthy colorways and timeless patterns, or completely undyed for the most natural look. But the organic relaxed linen sheets are still one of the best organic sheets, thanks to the relaxed weave, broken-in feel, and durable construction.

However, if you’re looking to indulge, we can’t help but point you in the direction of the brand’s Heritage Organic Percale collection. Only sold in Alpine white, this collection features 100 percent organic cotton grown in West Texas, where it’s then woven in Portugal and given a chain-stitch trim on the cuff. It’s a bit heavier in weight compared to the regular percale and specifically designed to last for many sleeps to come.

Even if you miss the 30-day return window, Coyuchi will issue you store credits for items that have been used but not loved through its partnership with the Renewal Workshop.

Return Policy: Free returns within 30 days, or return within one year for store credit | Warranty Policy: Not listed | Delivery Options: FedEx | Payment Options: Credit or debit, After Pay, Google Pay, PayPal | Retail Locations: Yes | Certifications: Varies, including GOTS-certified organic cotton, GOLS-certified organic latex

When is the Best Time to Buy?

As part of its dedication to a circular chain, you can also shop for gently used bedding for up to 40 percent less. Otherwise, Coyuchi seasonal discounts often creep up online, so it's worth regularly checking the brand’s sale section. There’s also an annual Warehouse Sale that tends to run around the end of each season.

The Citizenry

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (9)

What We Like

  • All products are Fair Trade Certified

  • Artisan-made products

  • High-quality materials

What We Don't Like

  • Restocking fees for some items

  • Not all products available in twin sizes

From long-staple cotton sourced from the Aegean region of Turkey to stonewashed French flax, you can rest assured that The Citizenry’s entire bedding catalog is Fair Trade certified5 by the World Fair Trade Organization.

Not only do we appreciate the brand’s business practices, but it also makes one of the best linen sheet sets around. Hand-loomed and stonewashed in one of the oldest, family-run mils in Portugal, these sheets are lightweight and airy, but their biggest appeal is how soft they feel after the first wash.

It’s also worth exploring the rest of The Citizenry's bedding, including duvets, blankets, quilts, and shams. Some pieces are even handcrafted by local artisans or loomed by worldly experts, such as a collective of weavers in India known as Panipat (if you’re after a one-of-a-kind aesthetic, check out this organic cotton blanket’s tonal grid design). With a similar, muted palette across all of its products, mixing and matching pieces for a layered bed is easy.

If you’re not sure about your purchase, you have 30 days to ship back any unwashed bedding for a full refund. While most returns are free of charge, you may have to pay a restocking fee for certain items, such as throws and decorative pillow covers. We recommend ordering a few sample swatches before committing to an entire bedding refresh if you're unsure.

Do note that The Citizenry was purchased by Havenly, an online design services company, earlier this year.

Return Policy: 30 days, restocking fees for certain items | Warranty Policy: None listed | Delivery Options: FedEx | Payment Options: Credit or debit, Shop ay, PayPal, Amazon Pay | Retail Locations: Yes | Certifications: Varies, including Fair Trade Certified, GOTS-certified organic cotton

When is the Best Time to Buy?

The Citizenry hosts a few key sale events throughout the year, like the Archive Sale, which features the final few products from batches of limited-edition products at up to 35 percent off. You'll also want to keep an eye out for sales like the Summer Tent Sale, which can discount The Citizenry's surplus and discontinued products by as much as 35 percent.

Saatva

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (10)

What We Like

  • High-quality materials and construction

  • Wide range of sizes

  • Focus on sustainability

  • Free shipping and returns

What We Don't Like

  • Limited colors and patterns

If you’re okay with really splurging on the most luxurious, high-end bedding, Saatva is the ultimate destination. In addition to mattresses, you can shop for pillows, sheets, duvets, comforters, mattress pads, blankets, quilts, and more within the bedding section of its website.

Saatva may have a smaller catalog than some of its competitors, but the entire selection is thoughtfully made with high-quality construction.

Plus, you’ll still be able to find most materials, sizes, and styles on the website. However, the color selection is a bit limited, so it’s not the best place to look if you’re searching for bold and unique colors and patterns. But if you love neutral-toned, refined bedding that’s both elegant and durable, Saatva is a great place to start.

Saatva’s website is exceptionally easy to navigate, and you can filter by size, category, and material. It even offers free shipping and returns on all orders, no minimum needed. Saatva’s bedding is available in a wide range of high-quality materials, including linen, velvet, silk, and cotton.

Among its impressive catalog, we particularly recommend Saatva’s Linen Sheet Set (our best splurge linen sheet set), which feels soft, lightweight, and durable. We tested this set over the course of six weeks, and it held up exceptionally well with no signs of wear or color fading.

Return Policy: Free returns within 45 days, wash bedding before returning | Warranty Policy: One-year limited warranty | Delivery Options: FedEx | Payment Options: Credit or debit, PayPal, Google Pay | Retail Locations: Yes | Certifications: Varies, including CertiPUR-US, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GOTS-certified organic cotton, GOLS-certified organic latex, Fair Trade certified

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Saatva offers savings during key holidays and shopping events throughout the year, such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Presidents' Day, where savings can reach up to 20 percent off.

Sijo

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (11)

What We Like

  • Sustainable eucalyptus bedding

  • Soft, high-quality, and temperature-regulating materials

  • Bundles with or without top sheet

  • 30-night trial period

What We Don't Like

  • Limited selection of materials

Sijo offers a small-to-medium-sized selection of sheets, duvet covers, pillows, pillowcases, blankets, mattress pads, and other bedding accessories. And while you won’t find a vast selection of fabric options here, we think the thoughtful construction and high-end craftsmanship make up for the limited variety.

The retailer offers quality materials like cotton, eucalyptus, and flax linen. In particular, Sijo’s TempTune Cotton Sheet Set (our best lightweight sateen sheet set) and AiryWeight Eucalyptus Sheet Set (our best cooling eucalyptus sheet set), are beloved by hot sleepers.

No matter what you choose, you’ll find that shopping on the website is fairly easy, but you maynotice a few popups and sale alerts when scrolling through. Be sure not to close out of these too fast, though—the information can often include discount codes which can help if you choose to make a purchase.

Additionally, Sijo offers free shipping for all orders over $100, but you’ll have to pay a $9.95 fee if you don’t reach that minimum. All of Sijo's products also come with a 30-night trial period, during which you can return your purchase for free, no questions asked.

Return Policy: Free return shipping within 30 days | Warranty Policy: Not listed | Delivery Options: Not listed | Payment Options: Credit or debit, Shop Pay, PayPal, Google Pay | Retail Locations: No | Certifications: None listed

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Sijo offers a 15 percent discount on your first purchase, with email signup. Black Friday discounts can reach as much as 25 percent off, and Sleep Week in March sees savings of up to 15 percent off.

Matouk

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (12)

What We Like

  • Iconic embroideries and patterns, plus collaborations with other heritage brands

  • Complimentary fabric swatches

  • Sophisticated color palette can be customized

  • U.S. production factory is STeP by OEKO-TEX-certified

What We Don’t Like

  • Pieces often sold separately

With a 100-year history of designing fine linens, Matouk’s bedding is the epitome of opulence. Made in the U.S., its manufacturers, craftspeople, and artists operate out of the Fall River, Massachusetts, headquarters. But you can shop its timeless, classic patterns—pinstripes, contrast piping, blockprint florals—or modern musings like squiggly scallop trims and watercolor-inspired prints, from anywhere.

Unsurprisingly, the heritage brand offers an extensive collection of sheets and pillowcases, duvet covers and shams, quilts and coverlets, throws and blankets, bed skirts, mattress pads and protectors, comforters, and pillow inserts; plus, a good chunk of the assortment can even be customized, down to the sizing, colors, and addition of monograms.

In fact, it’s one of the largest product offerings on our list, with over 200 sheets to sort through alone. But you can refine an online search by fabric (sateen, cotton, cotton percale, cotton sateen, or linen, for example), design, color, collection, and style name. Still stumped? the brand can connect you with its online Atelier service, where a dedicated designer or expert can provide an indivudalized shopping experience.

Collections vary, but it’s hard not to think of an upscale European hotel when browsing the majority of Matouk’s inventory. Most of imported fabrics (from Italy or India) are given an understated flair in the form of borders, from corded, knife edges to one-inch-thick tape treatments. Other differentiating details include delicate hemstitch finishes, contrast flange, and dual-toned satin-stitched stripes.

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Moreso than shopping directly from its site, we recommend checking out sales at other major retailers where Matouk is sold, such as Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus, host home sales. We’ve seen savings as great as up to 75 percent off.

Serena & Lily

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (13)

What We Like

  • Every collection is OEKO-TEX certified 100

  • Statement-making artistry, likes tassels, ruffles, and fringe

  • Purchase pillows and duvets with or without inserts

What We Don't Like

  • Pricing varies framaticaly, from under-$100 to over $800

  • Most sheet pockets are only 16-inches deep

If the goal is transforming your bedroom into a coastal-inflected oasis (i.e. tricking the mind into thinking your view out the window is an ocean or lake), you’ll want to check out Serena & Lily’s fine linens. Nearly every bedding style is offered in the California-based brand’s signature blue-and-white color combo, making it feel like summer year-round.

Duvets, coverlets, sheets, and quilts—all are made with premium materials, like European-grown flax, wrinkle-resistant sateen, or matte percale—and expertly tailored in Portugal, Florence, and Jaipur.

It’s the little touches and flourishes that truly takes the brand’s bedding up a notch. From reversible quilts and duvet covers to contrast borders in the form of colors, patterns, stitching, ruffles or fringe, even shapes, like swirling embroidery.

And while all the aesthetics are certainly dreamy, Serena & Lily recommends sticking to a base fabric based on your preferred sleeping preferences, whether you run hot or prefer a crisp feel over satiny soft. For a full refund, be sure to return any unwanted items within the 60-day timeframe.

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Serena & Lily is another brand that’s always touting a sitewide sale or another, although instead of seasonal promotions, the discounts are often themed around a space (or three) in the home. Otherwise, it also falls into the typical shopping holiday schedule (Memorial Day, Black Friday), where we’ve seen discounts get up to 70 percent.

Piglet in Bed

Ready to Splurge? These Are the Best Places to Buy Luxury Bedding (14)

What We Like

  • Playful color palettes and patterns

  • Both the linen and cotton are shrink- and pill-resistant

  • Kids sizing and collections

What We Don’t Like

  • Won’t accept returns unless items are unwashed and unused

Made from 100 percent European flax or cotton sourced from the Better Cotton Initiative, British brand Piglet in Bed is gaining headway across the pond for its country-esque charm. Rustic patterns—stripes, gingham, plaids—could easily feel at home in a Costwolds cottage, but the subdued yet playful color palettes also delight, mainly in the form of green and pink or purple (like elderberry) and red.

Much of the fun is mixing and matching, which the site allows you to do through its bedding bundler. So why not grab a duvet decked out in regency stripes, but pair it with plain sheets and check-covered pillowcases? The brand also makes and sells all-natural British wool duvet inserts, pillows, and blankets made in Yorkshire with 100 percent non-mulesed merino wool.

While the idea behind Piglet in Bed is an unfussy, relaxed, and cozy vibe, the materials and color treatment are what truly gives it a luxurious edge. While stonewashed French linen doesn’t sound low-maitnenace, it is. You can stick it in the wash and tumble dry low, no sweat.

Truly, durability is a big part of the appeal when it comes to spending a pretty penny (most bundles, which allow you to pick one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, two pillowcases, and a duvet, come out to roughly $650).

When is the Best Time to Buy?

Piglet in Bed’s “Last Chance” section is also often well-stocked, meaning you can find a good deal anytime, but we recommend waiting until its winter sale for savings as great as up to 50 percent off on bedding.

How We Tested the Luxury Bedding

Here at The Spruce, we’ve tested all types of bedding products in The Lab and our homes (including over 200 sheet sets to date!). That means we’ve had to order bedding from a lot of different retailers.

To compile this list, we reviewed our testing insights to determine which retailers offer the best shopping experiences for consumers. We evaluated how easy it was to navigate each website, the overall return process, customer service helpfulness, expected delivery windows and shipping fees, and package/product condition once delivered.

We also considered the general quality of each retailer’s bedding, pulling from previous testing insights to find standout products we’ve loved. We also examined the size of each retailer’s catalog, general price point, and design styles. We combined these survey insights with additional research and input from our editors and home testers to bring you this list.

When Buying Luxury Bedding, Look for

A Variety of Thread Count Choices

It’s common to assume that the higher the thread count, the more luxurious the bedding—but focusing exclusively on this sole detail can be a bit deceptive.

Despite conventional wisdom, Raili Clasen, interior designer and founder of Raili CA Interior Design, doesn’t recommend looking at thread count when shopping for luxury bedding, as she’s seen 400-count sheets that “feel like cheap satin.”

Thread count will only tell you the number of threads in a square inch of fabric, so it’s really only an assessment of how tightly woven a given sheet set’s material is. It doesn’t necessarily determine details like softness, coolness, or silkiness. And there are some materials, like bamboo, lyocell, and Tencel, that don’t feature thread counts, yet are incredibly luxurious in feel and construction.

To properly assess a piece of luxury bedding, you’ll want to consider factors like material, construction, and certifications.

Soft, High-Quality Fabric or Material

A variety of different types of fibers make up the fabrics and materials used to create luxury bedding. While the fabric certainly affects a product’s softness, durability, and overall feel, this detail also determines the higher price of these goods.

Luxury bedding can include everything from cotton sheets, duvets, and pillowcases to linen or bamboo—but typically, the fibers used are of higher quality than you’d find in more budget-friendly bedding. There are no synthetic fibers used in luxury products or blends of synthetic fibers with materials like cotton or silk.

For example, organic and long-staple cotton are higher-quality versions of typical cotton (and while traditional cotton might be considered “lower quality” by some, it can still be lovely to sleep on!). Linen and Egyptian cotton bedding are considered even higher-end. Silk and eucalyptus are also popular luxury picks.

Third-Party Certifications in Materials or Production

There are a variety of certifications that luxury bedding brands commonly put on their products, including:

  • Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification: Verifies the product was made using organic materials and processes.
  • Responsible Down Standard (RDS): For bedding using down feathers, verifies that the materials come from animals that have not been subjected to any unnecessary harm.
  • Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX: Verifies that every component of the product has been tested for 100 specific harmful substances.
  • Fair Trade Certified: The product was made according to rigorous social, environmental, and economic Fair Trade standards.
  • Certified B Corporation: The brand meets standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability.

Options Across Various Price Points

There’s no real definition of what makes bedding “luxury.” As a result, the distinction is typically determined by price. Luxury bedding typically starts at around $100 for a set of sheets, but it can range upward of $1,000 from truly high-end brands. That gives you quite a wide range to shop, and it includes all types of different bedding products.

While you’ll want to consider a retailer’s price range as you shop for bedding, it’s also a good idea to look for retailers and brands that offer products in bundles or sets versus individual pieces. Bundles often cost less than buying each piece separately, though some luxury bedding brands will only sell products as single standalone items.
