It won our cotton search: a four-piece set of 100% cotton jersey, a soft t-shirt knit, with flat and fitted sheets and pillowcases. - **Bamboo viscose with a cool, smooth feel:** Pure Bamboo Viscose Sheet Set. It won our bamboo search: a sheet set of 100% organic viscose derived from bamboo, with double stitching and a fabric its listing calls cooling. - **A complete microfiber set:** Utopia 4-Piece Queen Sheet Set, Microfiber. A runner-up in our main search: a full four-piece queen set, with a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillowcases, and 16-inch deep pockets. - **Extra-deep mattresses and sheets that stay put:** DREAMCARE 6-Piece King Sheet Set. A runner-up in our main search: an extra-deep six-piece king set with corner anchor straps, four pillowcases and side storage pockets. Our top pick is the **[Utopia Queen Fitted Sheet](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-1)** in brushed microfiber. It won the main TwelveTabs search we ran for this guide, "best sheets", out of 61 Amazon listings. It is a single fitted sheet with deep pockets up to 15 inches, soft and wrinkle-resistant, and it suits anyone who needs to replace the sheet that wears out first without buying a whole set. Want cotton? The **[Amazon Basics Cotton Jersey Sheet Set](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-2)** won our cotton search and feels like a soft t-shirt. The **[Pure Bamboo Sheet Set](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-3)** won our bamboo search. For a complete microfiber set, the **[Utopia 4-Piece Sheet Set](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-4)** has everything in one box. And for an extra-deep mattress, the **[DREAMCARE 6-Piece Sheet Set](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-5)** has corner straps to keep the fitted sheet on. ## How to choose sheets Start with the material and the weave, then check the fit. These four things matter most. - **Material.** Sleep Foundation lists the usual choices: cotton, linen, silk, polyester, microfiber (a polyester or nylon fabric), and lyocell, rayon or viscose, which is how bamboo sheets are made. Microfiber is soft and resists wrinkles. Cotton breathes. Bamboo viscose feels smooth. - **Weave or knit.** Sleep Foundation explains that cotton can be woven into percale, sateen or twill, or knit into jersey. Percale is crisp, sateen is silky, and jersey stretches like a t-shirt. The same fiber can feel very different depending on how it is made. - **Thread count is not everything.** Sleep Foundation says thread count is not the most important gauge of quality, and Sleepopolis adds that thread count means nothing if the material is not durable. Longer-staple fibers are generally softer and stronger, according to Sleep Foundation. - **Pocket depth.** Measure your mattress, including any topper. Sleep Foundation notes that a 16-inch pocket fits most beds, including thick pillow-tops. Our picks range from 15-inch pockets to extra deep. **Read the fabric line, not the headline.** In our cotton and bamboo searches, polyester microfiber sets reached the final round even though the search asked for cotton or bamboo. Check the material on the listing before you buy. ## Our picks in detail ### 1. Utopia Queen Fitted Sheet, Brushed Microfiber: best overall **Why it made the list** - It won our main search, "best sheets", from 61 listings. - It is a fitted sheet made for queen mattresses with deep pockets up to 15 inches. - Its brushed microfiber is soft and resists wrinkles. **Drawbacks** - It is a fitted sheet only, with no flat sheet or pillowcases. Our main search found the [Utopia 4-piece set](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-4) stronger on that point. - It is microfiber, a polyester fabric, not cotton. **Skip it if** you need a full set, or you want natural fibers. ### 2. Amazon Basics 100% Cotton Jersey 4-Piece Sheet Set: best cotton **Why it made the list** - It won our search for "best cotton sheets", from 125 listings. - It is 100% cotton jersey, a soft t-shirt knit. - It is a complete four-piece set with flat and fitted sheets and pillowcases. **Drawbacks** - Jersey is a knit, so it feels stretchy and soft rather than crisp like a percale weave. - The listing our search picked is a king in oatmeal, so check for your size and color. **Skip it if** you like crisp, cool cotton. A percale weave suits that better. ### 3. Pure Bamboo Viscose Sheet Set: best bamboo **Why it made the list** - It won our search for "best bamboo sheets", from 56 listings. - It is made of 100% organic viscose derived from bamboo. - Its listing describes double stitching and a cooling fabric. **Drawbacks** - The listing our search picked is a king, so check for your size. - Check the care label before washing, as viscose can need gentler care than cotton. **Skip it if** you want the easiest care, or you prefer cotton. ### 4. Utopia 4-Piece Queen Sheet Set, Microfiber: best complete set **Why it made the list** - It was a runner-up in our main search. - It is a full four-piece queen set: a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillowcases. - Its listing names 16-inch deep pockets and a hotel-style finish. **Drawbacks** - Our main search did not show a Prime badge on its listing. - It is microfiber, not cotton. **Watch for this:** Utopia sells both this set and the single fitted sheet above under very similar names. If you want the flat sheet and pillowcases too, check that the listing says 4 pieces. **Skip it if** you want natural fibers. ### 5. DREAMCARE 6-Piece King Sheet Set: best for extra-deep mattresses **Why it made the list** - It is an extra-deep six-piece king set with corner anchor straps to hold the fitted sheet in place. - It includes four pillowcases and side storage pockets. **Drawbacks** - It is microfiber, not cotton. - The listing our search picked is a king. **Skip it if** your mattress is standard depth and you do not need straps or extra pillowcases. ## What we left out, and why Our three searches returned 242 listings. TwelveTabs shortlisted 30 of them, read the listing pages of 9 finalists, and named a winner and its runners-up in each search. We kept five and left out: - **A "Comfy Breathable and Cooling" 4-piece set** that reached the final round of both our cotton and bamboo searches in four sizes and colors. It is polyester microfiber, not the cotton or bamboo those searches asked for. - **The DREAMCARE queen set**, a runner-up in our bamboo search. It is the queen version of our DREAMCARE pick, and it is microfiber, not bamboo. - **A CGK Extra Deep 6-piece set**, a runner-up in our bamboo search. It is a second deep-pocket six-piece microfiber set that overlaps the DREAMCARE. Wirecutter's top pick is the L.L.Bean Pima Cotton Percale Sheet Set. It is not sold on Amazon, so it is not in the comparison table. ## Questions people ask ### What are the best sheets on Amazon? The [Utopia Queen Fitted Sheet](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-1) won our main search for "best sheets". For a cotton set, the [Amazon Basics jersey set](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-2) won our cotton search. For bamboo, the [Pure Bamboo set](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-sheets/#pick-3) won our bamboo search. ### Does thread count matter? Less than you might think. Sleep Foundation says it is not the most important gauge of quality, and Sleepopolis says thread count means nothing if the material is not durable. Look at the fiber and the weave first. ### What is the difference between microfiber and cotton sheets? Microfiber is a polyester or nylon fabric that is soft and resists wrinkles. Cotton is a natural fiber that comes in many weaves, from crisp percale to stretchy jersey. Which is better depends on how you like your bed to feel. ### How deep should the pockets on a fitted sheet be? Measure your mattress, plus any topper. A 16-inch pocket fits most beds, thick pillow-tops included, per Sleep Foundation. For deeper beds, look for extra-deep pockets or corner straps like the DREAMCARE's. Want 100 percent cotton only? Our [cotton sheets guide](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-cotton-sheets/) compares percale, sateen and flannel sets and a cotton fitted sheet sold on its own. Adding weight to the bed instead? Our [weighted blanket guide](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-weighted-blankets-for-adults/) compares six blankets by weight, size and cover. ### How did TwelveTabs choose these sheets?
