Everyone’s heard the saying “the only things certain in life are death and taxes.” But if anyone asked us, we’d add one more thing to that list — sleep. Everyone needs to squeeze in some good shut-eye, and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) suggests that should ideally be getting around seven hours of good sleep a night. A good night’s sleep has been shown to support heart health, keeps your immune system strong, and boosts memory and learning. For these reasons and more, it’s imperative to not just get some rest, but rest well.

Nobody wants to spend the wee hours of the night tossing and turning on a lumpy pillow, or scratchy bedsheets. Aside from giving you that aah feeling when you slip into the sheets, the best bedding can completely change the look of any bedroom. Crisp, cool colors can mature any sleeping space, while whimsical sheets with bright patterns is an easy way to liven up a room. Alongside aesthetics, it’s also important to consider your personal needs — do run hot, or find yourself shivering at night? How well do these sheets wash? How do they feel against your skin?

What Are the Best Places to Buy Bedding Online?

If you’re searching for the perfect Goldilocks bedding for you, we’ve put together a list of the best places to buy bedding online. We curated this list based on our editors’ own testing and researched trusted brands that have hundreds of positive user reviews with 4-star ratings or higher. No matter your sleep style, we’re here to suggest the picks that’ll actually make you excited to jump into bed at the end of the day.

1. Brooklinen

We’re big fans of Brooklinen’s sheets on the Rolling Stone Commerce team — here’s what our Senior Commerce Editor, Jasmin Sandal, has to say about her experience with them: “I love these sheets so much so that I actually look forward to jumping into bed because of them. No, seriously I have the Washed Linen Core Sheet Set and the Classic Percale Core Sheet Set. I switch them out depending on the season — opting for the linen for colder, snugglier months and the percale for the warmer times of year. The breathable quality of both sets makes me feel like I’m on vacation. From my experience, I’d highly recommend Brooklinen as they offer a great variety of sheets, both decorative and minimal, depending on your sleep (or bedroom) style.”

Right now, Brooklinen is also having sale in honor of Sleep Week, so you can get 20% off everything in-store and online — seriously, don’t sleep on these deals.

2. Nest Bedding

Nest Bedding is primarily known for their mattresses, but their selection of bedding and sheets is nothing to scoff at. Their site is full of high-quality and sustainable picks, but it’s their pillows in particular that keep us coming back. As one reviewer said about their Easy Breather Pillow, “it’s cool to the touch and customizable for the perfect comfort level…I’ve even bought one for my husband and my parents!””

Nest Bedding is also currently having a sitewide sale where you can get 50% off on everything from spring sheet sets to duvets. Pro tip: we recommend the natural version of the Easy Breather Pillow from above, which is stuffed with cushiony, blended natural latex (it’s also 10% off and is BOGO right now).

3. West Elm

While we love West Elm’s effortlessly elegant and classic furniture, we would be remiss in ignoring their wide selection of bedding essentials. They’re frequently updating and expanding their collection, and their clean designs pair easily with any kind of bold statement furniture. And if you’re ever unsure on how to design your bedroom, West Elm offers free one-on-one design help. 

If you’re springing for linen sheets, West Elm’s European Flax Linen Cotton Pick Stitch Quilt and Shams are a gorgeous pick. It’s completely fair trade, breathable, and even partially made from recycled materials.

4. Amazon

You can’t talk about online shopping without mentioning Amazon — this shipping and shopping giant offers many of our favorite bedding brands, from budget-friendly sheet sets, to luxe hotel-quality duvets. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, their speedy shipping also can’t be beat, but if you aren’t yet, you can always sign up for 30-day Prime free trial to test it out.

This Bedsure Comforter Set comes with seven pieces, and has 4.5 out of 5 stars, with reviews praising this set as holding up great in the wash and staying super soft. 

5. Parachute

Parachute is a brand that’s committed to sustainability, complete with being GOTs-certified and holding Climate Neutral Certification, which is a plus if you’re looking for an eco-friendly choice. They’re best known for their linen collections, though they offer high-quality bedding in other fabrics, including cotton and sateen.

This stunning Linen Duvet Cover was crafted in Portugal, and was made with the fine European Flax for a “lived in feel” from the first night you slip under the sheets. They have a range of classic colors as well as seasonal color ways, and we’re partial to their “Canyon” color.

6. Pottery Barn

Another furniture company with stellar bedding, Pottery Barn is a must-see, especially if you have teens or kids. Lots of bedding for little kids can be too cutesy, and your teenager might want “cool” bedding for their room or college that isn’t too boring or immature. Pottery Barn has a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns, and even has several suggested set-ups online and in-store for shopping inspiration. 

Pottery Barn Teens also commonly collaborates with trending pop culture brands, like Hello Kitty, Harry Potter and the NFL — this Sports League All Team NFL Pillow Cover, for example, is a must-have for the room of any football fan.

7. Target

Target has a wide array of bedding both online and in-store, and several of its in-house brands like Threshold are well-reviewed and super comfortable. No matter what kind of bedding you need for whatever kind of room, Target has plenty of value picks at a lower price point, which can make it great for a starter apartment or furnishing a dorm room. 

Target is also known for their selection of ever-rotating seasonal items — with spring almost here and Easter around the corner, you can pair spring-ready bedding sets like this Becky Cameron Soft Farmhouse Florals Duvet Cover Set with something more playful, like an adorable Chicken Easter Throw Pillow. At just $10, the price is right, and it’ll instantly light up any room with that bright-colored, cute face. 

8. Quince

Quince is a fantastic option for both luxe apparel and equally as luxe bedding. The options on Quince are not only trendy, but decently affordable, with plenty of neutral colors that will fit in well no matter the design of your bedroom. This is what Jessica Seib, our VP of Commerce had to say about her experience: “Up until recently, almost all of my sheets were various shades and brands of linen. I’ve owned almost every linen sheet brand available on the internet and none of them have withstood the test of time as well as my Quince linen sheets. Compared to other brands, quince linen bedding has the perfectly median level of fabric thickness — light enough for use during the summer months but also heavy enough to keep you warm in colder weather.

Quince linen sheets don’t furl or wrinkle at the corners after being washed as much as their competitors, making each time you make your bed feel like the first. Easy to clean, durable, stain resistant (I have a large dog who unfortunately makes my bed her own whenever I leave the house), and quite possibly the best linen sheets that are available for purchase online today. I couldn’t recommended these more.”

9. Boll and Branch

Boll and Branch is one of the more splurge-worthy side on our list, but it’s a splurge for a reason — Boll and Branch was the first Fair Trade-certified manufacturer of linen bedding, and it produces an extremely high-quality product. If you’re looking to invest in a great set that will last for a long time, look no further than these rich-yet-relaxing sheets, bundles, and duvets.

For an unbelievably soft sheet set, the brand’s Signature Hemmed Sheet Set uses a 4-over-1-under weave that actually leaves them softer the more you wash them. You can even see how buttery-soft these sheets look in the photos.

10. Walmart

If you’re on a budget, Walmart is one of your best options for shopping new bedding. With an almost intimidating variety and an easily-navigable website, Walmart makes it easy to find the filter options based on your sleep needs.

If your room gets particularly cold in the winter, or like to have the AC pumped high in the summer, you might be interested in an electric heating blanket. Walmart has a great option in the MARNUR Electric Heating Blanket. It has a long power cord, which is perfect for a bedroom, and automatically turns itself off after ten hours if you forget to turn it off yourself. 

11. Coyuchi

Coyuchi offers stylish, comfortable bedding, all made from 100% organic cotton. The cotton used by Coyuchi has no GMO seeds, synthetic fertilizers, chemicals, or pesticides, and each piece of bedding is inspired by nature for a casual luxury vibe that honors the world around us. 

We love these Organic Crinkled Perkale Fitted Sheets for their relaxed and breathable fit. The color gives off a warm, earthy feel, and they even come in a reusable cotton bag to help reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions.

12. The Citizenry

One thing that stands out about The Citizenry is how down-to-earth and relaxed every piece of bedding looks and feels, while still having impeccable crafting down to the finest details. Many of the products are made by real artisans, and all are categorized as Fair Trade Certified. 

One of The Citizenry’s best-sellers is this stunning Stonewashed Linen Quilt which comes in a series of neutral colors. Crafted in Portugal with only the finest French flax, this quilt is the perfect addition to any bedroom, for any season.

13. L. L. Bean

L. L. Bean has its wide collection of outside gear and comfortable clothes, but that’s not all they’re known for. L. L. Bean’s bedding collection stands out to us because of their focus on warmth, and on patterns. Right now, neutrals and minimalism are on trend, but sometimes you want a bedroom with a little bit of pop.

This Coastal Landscape Flannel Sheet Collection makes us think of the seaside — and vacation — every time we look at it. It’s kitschy in the perfect way, and is made of soft, cozy and pill-resistant flannel that would make any bed set more comfy.

14. Ugg

We will always, always be the first people in line to defend Ugg’s home goods. Whatever options you have about the legacy of Ugg boots and 2000s fashion (they’re comfortable and that’s enough for me), we will never allow any slander of their bedding. Why? Because it is so incredibly soft and so warm we would be happy being smothered in it. 

I have several relatives who went to college in upstate New York, where snow is common and often falls in feet and not inches, and all of them swear by this Home Brenden Comforter Set. It’s super comfy, and will keep you warm in even the coldest of temperatures. 

15. Macy’s

Macy’s is where I got my bedding for my first college dorm, and my first apartment. It’s affordable, good quality, and frequently hold sales — what more could you want? Macy’s also has a wide variety of choices, including bedding by some designer brands like Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein.

We love this Calvin Klein Floral Cotton Duvet Set for its simple, timeless print and ultra-comfortable touch. It even washes well, and one reviewer said she’d “had duvets all her life, and this is the best [she’d] ever slept in!”
