Take these 100% European flax sheets that sell for a fraction of the price of their competitors, thanks to the company’s innovative supply chain structure that cuts out the middle man to avoid extra costs in the distribution process. “I love its airy nature along with the gorgeous Bordeaux color that complements the rest of my decor,” senior commerce editor Nashia Baker has previously shared. Beyond sheets, Quince’s bedding collection also features mattress pads, quilts, pillowcases, and more.
Best for Extra-Fine Cotton: Sferra
Sferra, founded in Italy in 1891, makes beautifully crafted linens found in five-star hotels the world over. The magic is in the details: all-around elastic on fitted sheets for the perfect fit, elegant hem-stitching on top sheets, and top-shelf materials (like the highest grade of Egyptian cotton around). Take the delicately rippled surface of their bed skirts as a sign of some of their best work.

For Bedding Fit for Royalty: Frette
Frette is another name in Italian linens to know that’s been decorating iconic Mediterranean interiors since 1860, including the abodes of actual royalty. They peddle all kinds of sumptuous linens and exquisite sheet sets, like these delightfully colorblocked sheets. Frette’s signature cotton sateen gives this set a crisp texture reserved for luxury hotel rooms, and its sea blue colorway delivers a shoreside experience regardless of location that pairs best with an open window, an ocean breeze, and breakfast in bed.
Best for Customizable Bedding: Matouk
For close to a century, Matouk’s artisans in Fall River, Massachusetts, have crafted fine high thread count bedding that you can find in five-star hotels around the country. They also go so far as to offer a range of bespoke options, so you can truly tailor the look and feel of your bedding, from monogramming to custom embroidery.
“Our clients love the soft, crisp feel of their sheets, and the Prado collection is a personal favorite,” Kates says. “Its beautiful, versatile pattern, designed by Schumacher, adds a touch of timeless elegance to any bedroom.”
Allie Weiss, AD’s US digital director, tested the brand’s Bergamo percale Egyptian cotton sheets, and raved about the barely-there feeling of the high-end bedding. “I hate scratchy sheets, and breathed a sigh of relief when I slipped into these,” she says. “They are lightweight, crisp looking, and soft to the touch—talk about a win-win.”
Best for Eucalpytus Bedding: Buffy
Buffy does things slightly differently from their peers, leaning into fresh designs for their bedding (like the quilted surface of their Puffer Throw or the wavy lines on their AD editor-beloved Breeze comforter seen above that comes filled with eucalyptus fill).
Similar to the temperature-regulating Breeze, Buffy’s sheets from the same collection are a hit for their temperature-regulating properties, made from the same eucalyptus lyocell fabric that need less water to produce than a traditional cotton sheet set. “These sheets are smoooooth and feel like a silk/cotton combo,” shares Zoë Sessums, senior digital design editor. “The cool-to-the-touch nature of the material is also ideal for warmer months and they only get softer after each wash.”
Pom Pom at Home curated collections feature bedding products that are hand-loomed by artisans for the bespoke touch. The Montauk Throw, for instance, provides a natural linen texture to bring warmth and dimension to any bedroom. You can also find cozy sheets, coverlets, and bed skirts, to complete the design.
