Your mattress, pillows, and especially your bed sheets can influence the quality of your sleep. One big trend: cooling bedding. Some people naturally have a higher body temperature for a variety of reasons—such as menopause, diabetes, and hyperthyroidism—and in these cases sleep doctors recommend choosing bed sheets made with lighter, natural materials. Linen is a particularly excellent choice for hot sleepers because it's lightweight, with fibers that are more breathable than other fabrics.

Comfort aside, the lived-in, slightly rumpled look of this upscale material makes for an overall cozy feel you'll love for your bedroom. And while linen typically comes with a higher price tag, you don't necessarily have to break the bank to switch up your sheets; we found 20 options at every style and price point.

While these Sijo linen sheets aren't cheap, they're so worth it. Is there luxury woven into them? It's possible, however, the brand just calls it 100% French linen. These have a bit of weight to them, and you can choose between 11 colors.

Softest Linen Sheets

Casaluna Washed Linen Solid Sheet Set

Casaluna Washed Linen Solid Sheet Set

Because they're pre-washed, these linen sheets from Casaluna will only get softer with each load of laundry, delivering peak luxury at a reasonable mid-range price point. We also like that the fitted sheet can stretch to accommodate a mattress between 9-18 inches tall, and is designed to stay firmly put even if you toss and turn during the night.
