We all spend a lot of time sleeping in our beds, so why not outfit them with the luxury of the best linen sheets? Though linen may not be as soft as cotton sheets at first touch, the way linen is woven together creates a cool, moisture-wicking fabric that only gets softer with each wash. Along with added durability, those characteristics make linen among the best sheets you can buy if you’re looking for cooling sheets in the summer or layered bedding for temperature regulation in the colder months.
It might sound like a no-brainer upgrade, but there are many options available — along with numerous marketing claims that sound impressive — when it comes to linen sheets. To make your choice a bit easier, I tested 10 popular sets by sleeping in and washing them, while closely inspecting the feel and fit along the way.
While most were fine, two sets stood out for their performance and ordering options. No matter your budget or preference, one of these winners should work for you.
