Letâs just start this out by stating the obvious: We all deserve good sheets. Sheets should be enjoyable, not just a necessity.

Weâve rounded up some of the highest-rated sheets that will keep you waking up on the right side of the bed each morning (or at least give you a head start).

Runner Up: Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Sheets
Stretchiest: Purple SoftStretch Sheets
Best Heirloom Linen: Morrow Goods Linen Sheet Set
Best For a Faux-Silk Option: Sheets & Giggles Sheets

Parachuteâs Linen Sheets are the softest sheets Iâve tried. âUnlike some other brands Iâve tried, Parachuteâs linen comes pre-broken in. This means that it is unbelievably soft from the very first time you sleep in it, without having to wash it first.â Best Feature: They are also âanti-microbial, which is good because they donât get gross all that easily, but better yet, they are easy to wash. They can go in the machine and even the dryer without shrinking, too.

Despite these being Brooklinenâs best-selling sheets, Scouted Contributor Rachel Dube says she was skeptical at first, but now she can say for certain they âhave literally changed the way [she] sleeps.â She writes, âThese sheets feel like silky butter against my skin, making it insanely easy to just immerse myself in them.â and âAside from being insanely soft, theyâre also super breathable due to the cotton material and have a 480 thread count.âBest Feature: These are workhorses, and come in tons of different colorways and options.

While Scouted Editor Jillian Lucas loves the old Purple sheets for how lightweight, stretchy, and honestly, unique they are, the new Soft Stretch Sheets are a step up in every direction. Made of a Rayon, Bamboo Viscose, and Polyester blend, these âhave a significantly more hefty, luxurious feel than the original sheets, and are even more âstretchyyy,â than their predecessors.â They are perfect for hot sleepers.Best Feature: They are soft, stretchy, and great for hot sleepers.

âWoven from 100% âHeirloomâ French or Belgian flax linen, Morrow makes sheets that are breathable, extremely durable, and keep me (a very hot sleeper) cool no matter the temperature.â They are extremely stylish, too. âTheir color palette includes chic options like Terracotta and Fawn, to upgraded basics like Bone.âBest Feature: These are fancy, but they are well worth it. They just get softer and softer each time you sleep in them.

Scouted Contributor Jessica Booth loves Sheets & Giggles sheets saying they âfeel like actual silk,â are âactually affordable,â and are âmore environmentally friendly than most options.â She writes, Not only are they soft, theyâre also incredibly breathable and have a really lovely light feeling.â She also âloves how they fit on the bed. Theyâre larger than some other sheets Iâve tried, but thanks to a thick elastic along the entire edge, they stay put.âBest Feature: They're not silk (nor are they priced like it either) but they sure do feel like it.

Scouted Contributor Wendy Rose Gould says Amazonâs most popular sheets deliver. She writes, âThe first night I tucked myself into them I felt like I was enveloped in luxury. They are soft but still crisp, allow enough airflow to keep you cozy but not hot, and theyâre wrinkle reluctant which helps with the overall aesthetic of the room.â The best selling sheets are âmade from brushed microfiber, are hypoallergenic, and come in 43 different color options and any size you could possibly need.â

Scouted Contributor Maria Cassano is now a firm believer in seasonal bedding thanks to these L.L. Bean Flannel Sheets. Even though they are made out of cotton like her favorite Brooklinen pair, âTheir brushed, weighted texture directs your body heat back towards you while simultaneously remaining breathable. That means when I have to get up at 2 a.m. to let the dog out, my bed is still warm and cozy when I get back â but when I shut my door and the heat gets trapped in my bedroom, I never overheat.â Her no-longer-cold feet thank her for making the swap.Best Feature: Perfect for winter, these sheets keep our Contributor nice and toasty no matter how cold it gets.

Scouted Contributor G.L. DiVittorio loves how soft (and sustainable) Buffyâs sheets are. The sheets are softer than soft, cool to the touch, and lightweight âwith a slight slippery feeling of satin.â She writes, âDespite being a warm sleeper, as someone who needs to have covers on, Buffyâs Eucalyptus sheets are the summertime bedding I have needed all my life.âBest Feature: These sheets are breathable, lightweight, temp-regulating, and perfect for summer and/or hot sleepers.
