It sounds overdramatic, but upgrading my sheets to a set tested and approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab changed my life for the better (I somehow feel cozier and cooler all night long!). A new sheet set can be expensive, though, but you're in luck if you want to improve your sleep quality: Coincidentally, both of our experts' top-rated sheets from testing are currently on sale.
The Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set and the California Design Den 400 Thread Count Sateen Sheet Set are both 15% off right now. After testing more than 450 sheet sets, our pros rated the Brooklinen set as the best overall bed sheets, and the California Design Den set as the best value pick. The California Design Den sheets are on sale for 15% off on Amazon until the end of today, October 8, as part of the Prime Big Deal Days event. And Brooklinen's sale also ends tonight—just check out using the code BIGDEALS.
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set
These are both consistently top-performing sheets in our Lab evaluations and among our testers. They are also two of the top-selling products, meaning our readers love them as well.
Fiber scientist and Executive Director of the GH Institute, Lexie Sachs, said the Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set is "soft without being overly smooth, luxurious without a high price tag, and a favorite among our GH staffers and at-home sleep testers." They're typically $199 for a Queen set, but with this 15% discount, they are $169.
Our pros and testers were impressed by the Brooklinen sheets' smooth material that didn't feel slippery."I really liked the material," one tester said. "It was a much softer material without being a silk sheet. They feel nice on my skin."
The sheets also received high marks for durability, washability, and resistance to pilling. And while it's not sold on Amazon, Brooklinen offers free shipping and a full-refund 365-day return policy with only a $9.95 return fee (so, you can take your time deciding if you like them!).
California Design Den 400 Thread Count Sateen Sheet Set
If you're not looking to spend more than $100, fear not. The California Design Den 400 Thread Count Sateen Sheet Set is typically $50 and is now $42 with the discount. "It's hard to find any cotton sheets for under $100, let alone a set that's as soft and durable as this is," Sachs said.
Featuring a smooth cotton fabric, testers loved the substantial feel. "I like the weight and quality of the fabric. It also had a nice sheen and a smooth feel," one tester shared. Plus, these sheets received perfect ratings for fabric strength (talk about bang for your buck in the long run).
We know a 15% discount may not be the best deal you'll see for sheets on Amazon, but the best types of sales are the ones on products worth buying. In our opinion, these sheets are absolutely worth the splurge, so the 15% sale is just a sweet bonus. We also don't see these products go on sale frequently, so don't hesitate for too long if you're thinking about purchasing them.
