With our help, you don’t need to jump from one website to another, wracking your brain researching about bedding options and choosing which one’s best for you.

We’ve got it all in one place.

After reading each article in our expansive resource pages, you should be able to find the perfect set of bedding based on the following preferences:

Price Range

If you’re a bargain hunter, we cover budget buying guides for each part of your bedding set – blankets, pillowcases, comforters, quilts, coverlets, and more.

But, if you’re looking for more luxury options, we have articles on that, too! From this year’s latest luxe linens to the best brands of premium comforters, we’ve got the lowdown on high-end brands that you’ll love.

Needless to say, we’ve rounded up some great resources that should meet your needs, no matter what your price range is.

Size Requirements

From full size to futon, California King- sized beds to child-sized mattresses for your kids’ bunk beds, size matters when it comes to bedding options.

We have the latest reviews and buyers guides with the goal of helping you look for bedding products from the perfect brands with the perfect size for your mattress.

Weight Requirements

Whether you’re in the market for heavier, weighted blankets or simply seeking the warmth of hefty, winter comforters, weight does matter when it comes to looking for bedding sets.

During the summer months, you’ll also want to invest in cooler, lightweight, cotton sheets to keep you from being hot and stuffy while sleeping.

You can count on us to give you the best blanket reviews for your specific needs – from heavy blankets to lightweight sheets.

Sleeper Type/Profile

Whether you’re an energetic morning lark or more productive as a night owl, your sleeping preference matters greatly when it comes to choosing your bedding options.

If you’re a morning person, you might want easy, low-maintenance bedding sets or even just a removable, lightweight duvet cover for your comforter or duvet filler. This way, as soon as your alarm goes off, it’s easy to make your bed and head over to the kitchen for a cup of coffee.

Night owls will most likely catch up on sleep during the daytime. In this case, it’s best to invest in high-quality bedding sets to ensure comfortable sleep while the sun’s out. Pair it up with matching blackout curtains, night owls should be able to achieve great sleep well into the bright glare of midday.

Whatever type of sleeper you are, our reviews can help you choose the best bedding sets for whatever time of day you’d like to hit the sack

Sleep Position Preference

Side sleeper, stomach sleeper, back sleeper, combination sleeper – your sleeping position matters greatly when choosing your bedding sets.

For example, if you are a combination sleeper that’s most likely to move about as you’re deep in slumber, you won’t want your blanket or duvet to bunch about your feet, causing you to wake up, uncomfortable in the middle of the night.

You may want to forego a removable duvet cover for your comforter (or duvet fill) in this case as this does have a tendency to tangle itself up especially if the cover itself isn’t a perfect fit.

We’ve got complete tips and advice for bedding options that are suited to all types of sleepers.

Material/Fabric Content

Learning the lingo of the bedding world can be a bit complicated, from understanding thread count to types of fabric, it can get dizzying.

Here’s a basic guide:

This is the most popular choice of fiber content for sheets as 100% cotton maintains a natural, soft feel that keeps sleepers cool and dry even during hot summer nights.

Not as comfortable as 100% cotton but it is durable, easy to wash, less prone to fade, and is more affordable than naturally-made fabrics.

Discussed below are more expensive fabric content options but may be worth the investment due to its durability and luxurious feel. These premium types of cotton are used in some of the world's best bedding arrangements. They are characterized by longer, individual cotton fibers which allow it to feel softer, silkier, and more luxurious than regular Upland Cotton, for example. However, it's good to note that many bedding manufacturers claim to include these in their products' fiber content but they actually do not. The best way to ensure you are getting authentic bedding sets is from a reputable brand that is able to show the origins of their fabric content.

This type of premium, long-fiber cotton is usually grown in the United States, Peru, Australia, and Israel. It has the same characteristics as Egyptian Cotton, the only difference is in its origins. Both Pima and Egyptian Cotton share the same scientific name: Gossypium Barbadense.

Its origins can be scientifically traced to the Nile River Valley, where it grows in abundance in the region's hot, dry climate. As mentioned, it has the same long-fiber features as Pima Cotton and feels just as luxurious.

This type of cotton is the same type of Pima Cotton mentioned above but it is grown in the U.S. only and the brand is exclusively trademarked by the Supima Association of America.

A common term in bedding lingo, thread count refers to "the number of horizontal and vertical threads per inch" of the fabric. The higher the number, the better the quality of the fabric. A good benchmark thread count when looking for sheets and bedding sets is anywhere from a 200 to 800 thread count. However, higher quality fabric can feature over-1000 thread counts.

Characterized by its closely-woven threads, Percale is described as a "plain-weave" fabric that's mostly used as bed covers. It usually has a 200-above thread count and feels firm, smooth and crisp. Unlike Sateen, it doesn't have a shiny gloss.

Made out of spun yarns instead of silk filaments, Sateen fabric feels soft and looks glossy. Sateen sheets provide a luxurious, more glamorous feel to bedroom interiors.

A type of textile weave that features a "pattern of diagonal parallel ribs", it is a fabric most often used to create strong, durable fabric. The most popular type of Twill fabric is most probably denim, however, in bedding sets, this type of fabric weave can still produce soft, comfortable sheets and linens.
