If it’s been a while since you replaced your sheets or you’ve just grown tired of looking at yours every day, it may be time to spruce up your sleep setup. But with so many bedding options, choosing the best sheets for your body temperature (hot sleepers unite!), budget and aesthetic can be overwhelming. Are you after the softness of percale, the warmth of flannel or the cooling sensation of bamboo? Those new to the vast world of bedding may need a little guidance on where to start.

That’s why we searched every corner of the Internet for the best type of sheets for every kind of sleeper. We looked through multiple pages of reviews, inspected the details of what material these sheets are made from and made sure to include ones with plenty of color options, too. From options by Brooklinen to Sijo to Target, we rounded up sheets for every sleeper at every price point.

For sleepers on a budget

Threshold 400 thread count cotton sheet set
We've raved about these sheets from Target in the past, so it's no wonder that they made this list of some of the best you can get. These wrinkle- and pill-resistant sheets are made with 100% cotton and come in multiple colors like dark gray, blush pink, gray plaid and light blue. And if you've had issues before with your fitted sheet not staying put around your mattress, worry no more. The fitted sheet in this set has a special fit technology that keeps it secure and fits mattresses up to 18 inches thick. The set includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and one pillowcase. Twin to California king sizes are available.

Promising review: "
These sheets are absolutely wonderful! They wash well, are soft against the skin, and fit very deep pocket mattresses. I even suggested these sheets to my mother, who is picky about sheets (she usually buys the super expensive ones), and she even said they are good sheets and she’ll buy these again." — Queenie

For cold sleepers

Cuddl Duds flannel sheet set
Our very own head of HuffPost Life, Kristen Aiken, owns these comfy sheets and swears by them. "My mom and I haven’t bought anything but these for the past decade’s worth of winters, and if you invite me to your housewarming, I’m guaranteed to bring you a set of these sheets. They’re so cozy and cute," she told me.

Ideal for the colder months, these heavyweight flannel sheets offer just the right amount of softness and warmth you'll want on chilly nights. They come in a variety of styles, including gray plaid, blue, dog print, Santa print, red tartan and green in sizes from twin to California king.

For hot sleepers

LuxClub bamboo sheet set
Another sheet set our team loves is this eco-friendly bamboo option, which is great if you love changing the theme of your bedroom often because it comes in a whopping 41 colors. Orange, taupe, yellow, red, dark gray, and lime green are just a few possibilities. And if you're a hot sleeper, you'll also appreciate they're moisture-wicking and made of a smooth, bamboo-derived blend. The set includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and two pillowcases and is made in sizes from twin to California king.

Promising review:
"I waited to write a review until after I’d had these for a few months. We love them so much we came back and bought them in three more colors. The aqua color is vibrant and has not faded after 3 months of weekly washing. They hold up well, fit our deep Sleep Number mattress, and the corners never slide off. The sheets feel cool and soft and are wrinkle-free unless you leave them wadded up in a basket for a week. These are the only brand we have used since we bought them. All my other sheets have moved to the back of the closet." — Wanda

For sleepers who love soft sheets

Quince linen sheet set
Made from ethically woven European flax, Quince's pre-washed linen sheet set includes one linen fitted sheet, one flat sheet and either one or two pillowcases, depending on which size you purchase.

Promising review:
"We love our new sheets—they are the most cozy, and they are perfect for hot summer months (and I’m sure they’ll also be perfect for the winter months too! Linen is so great that way!). Already have our next set waiting to be purchased :)" — Katherine K.

Before You Go

Five Sleep Trackers That Can Help You Get Better Sleep
A sleek and wearable health-monitoring ring that performs similarly to in-lab sleep tests(01 of05)

Dimitriu told HuffPost that even though brain wave monitoring (EEG) is one of the most reliable methods for tracking sleep stages, it's a component that is missing from many commercially available sleep trackers. The Oura Ring, which he personally uses, is one device that seems to perform comparatively to this method.

"The Oura ring has had head-to-head studies against an in-lab sleep test, and shown fairly good overlap in its ability to stage sleep," he said. "There's also no screen to be disruptive."

This non-intrusive and waterproof ring uses research-grade sensors to monitor everything from activity to stress levels. It sits on the finger, which can be a more ideal and accurate source for data gathering than other options that sit on the wrist. The connective app tracks and logs everything from sleep stages, key vital changes throughout sleep and bedtime routines in order to make personalized suggestions on when to wind down for sleep and achieve your sleep goals.

A science-backed wristband that can help manage stress(02 of05)

For Rabin, pinpointing patterns of stress is the key to achieving better sleep. “When we’re stressed, our autonomic nervous system gets out of balance, favoring the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight) and releasing stress hormones, [which] sends signals to our brain that we are under threat and need to be escaping danger, not relaxing and sleeping,” he said

He said the Apollo Neuro, a lightweight band that can be worn on the wrist or ankle, doesn’t rely on health tracking to improve sleep as much as it does on activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

“The device works by engaging with your sense of touch, delivering silent, soothing vibrations that help you feel safe and in control. It helps to kick on the ‘rest and digest’ functions of the autonomic nervous system which helps with sleep,” Rabin said.

With this device, you can choose from a variety of modes that are designed to feel subtle and natural to the body. The nuanced vibrations are meant to facilitate natural states of calm, clarity, focus and relaxation. The device also pairs with an app and even syncs to Apple Health to track biometrics and the effectiveness of the band.

A bedside sleep tracker that can monitor your sleep environment(03 of05)

Dr. Nilong Vyas, a sleep coach with The Sleep Foundation, recommended the SleepScore tracker, a bedside device that works with an app to take various clinical measurements of your sleep and your bedroom environment in particular.

“This is great if you do not want to wear the tracker, but it sits on a bedside table and gives a good summary of sleep quality in the morning. It helps to assess the overall sleeping environment and does not have a monthly subscription,” she said.

The sleek monitor detects light and sound changes in your bedroom while the companion app provides personalized insights and actionable advice on how to improve sleep based on the previous night’s readings. There’s even a customizable alarm that can help create optimal sleep and wake habits.

A cost-effective fitness tracker with a long battery life(04 of05)

“The Fitbit Inspire is great because it is cost-effective, gives data that is easy to understand and has a good battery life,” Vyas said. The popular fitness watch features step-by-step fitness and nutrition programs, personalized insights and motivation, daily activity and vitals.

This second generation version of the Fitbit Inspire offers 10 days' worth of battery life per charge to track sleep stages, provide regular sleep scores and set optimal alarms that use gentle vibration to wake you, while the companion app details ways to build better bedtime routines and sleep habits.

In order to utilize all of the advanced features and tools, you must subscribe to a membership ($10 a month).

Another iteration of the expert recommendation above is the Fitbit Versa 2, which has over 105,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. Like the Inspire, it has the same tracking and data-collecting abilities that can help you build a healthier lifestyle and understand sleep patterns, with the added benefit of Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa built in. Set bedtime reminders, control smart devices at home or access Spotify, all from speaking into the watch.

The Versa 2 also requires a premium membership. First-time subscribers get six months for free.
