The importance of a good night’s sleep is indisputable—but actually getting it is another matter. The best bedding can provide an extra level of comfort that many of us need as the lines separating work from personal life have become increasingly blurred. According to the National Sleep Foundation, “using TVs, tablets, smartphones, laptops, or other electronic devices before bed delays your body’s internal clock (a.k.a., your circadian rhythm), suppresses the release of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, and makes it more difficult to fall asleep.” How many of us are guiltily bringing work to bed, now more than ever? Perhaps it’s time we all take a moment to disconnect and settle into sheets, quilts, and duvets that improve our at-home experience.

The ultra-soft, long-staple cotton only sweetens the deal.What our editors have to say: “I’m a huge fan of Boll & Branch’s breathable, buttery soft, 100% organic cotton sheets. However, if I had to choose, its signature duvet cover would be my top pick of all. It gets better with each wash and is easy to fasten and maneuver. And for anyone that’s broken out into a sweat trying to insert their duvet into its cover, then you will appreciate the fuss-free nature of this one from B&B. I also love how tonal each of the color options are, making for a calm and comfortable environment to come home to each night. Sweet dreams!” —Laura Jackson, shopping writerBoll & Branch

It’s also adjustable so you can control the firmness.What our editors have to say: “A good pillow is a game-changer for sleep, which is what Marlow’s has been for me.

Why we love it: Comprised entirely of French flax, Tekla makes a linen bedspread that has the perfect amount of heft and breathability.What our editors have to say: “It is no secret that I am Tekla Fabric’s #1 Fan. I have their striped bathrobe and it completely transformed my shower/self-care experience because it is heavy enough to keep you warm post-shower but not too heavy that it weighs you down. Most recently, I purchased one of their bedspreads and they are incredibly soft! Already plotting to purchase more in the other colors!” —Naomi ElizĂ©e, market editorBest Patterned BeddingWhy we love it: This striped style adds a cheery pop of color to the bedroom, while the muted pink keeps it from being overwhelming.What our editors have to say: “I’ve had the same comforter since college and I’ll be moving apartments soon so I will 100% be switching up my bedding.

The perfect crisp-to-cozy ratio and easy to replace if something goes wrong, which is definitely a concern when you only like white bedding.” —Willow Lindley, fashion market and collaborations directorOfelia Vass duvet cover and pillowcases

I’ve tried with the colored and patterned sheets … and always find myself returning to pure white. Is there anything better than a crisp, clean set?” —Chloe Schama, senior editorThe White Company

Best Cooling SheetsWhy we love it: Hot sleepers, rejoice. These stone-washed linen sheets are cooler than their cotton cousins, keeping you temperate all night long.What our editors have to say: “Sijo’s Move-In bundle impressed me with their mix of French linen (a fiber that requires way less water than cotton to produce) and new Clima technology (warm when you’re cold, cool when you’re hot). The latter is made from upcycled water bottles that would have ended up in a landfill if not the ocean, and it’s all Oeko-Tex Certified—which, in layperson terms, means free of substances that aren’t worth cuddling.” —Arden Fanning, beauty editor at largeSijo

During my chance for a bed do-over and bedding refresh, I opted for a white linen duvet cover and shams for a bit of soft fluffy texture and went for smooth percale sheets and pillowcases in Parachute’s off-white cream color. I love the slight difference in tones and materials, it adds a bit of dimension to my not quite-all-white cloud.” —Madeline Fass, senior market editorParachute

Best Silk PillowWhy we love it: Once you start sleeping on silk, you can’t go back. The natural material is also said to be temperature-regulating—and better for your hair—so you can sleep soundly without overheating.What our editors have to say: “A friend introduced me to Cozy Earth bedding and loungewear earlier this year, and my favorite discovery has to be this silk-filled pillow. Unlike memory foam (too firm) or down (zero support), this one is perfectly soft and fluffy.” —Talia Abbas, senior commerce editorBest Silk Pillowcase
Why we love it: Better hair and skin? The best silk pillowcases can it make it possible, as they “pull or stretch the skin less than cotton or linen,” New York City dermatologist Marnie Nussbaum, M.D. previously told Vogue. The luxe touch and cooling is just a bonus. Slip’s is also made of 22 momme—some of the highest quality mulberry silk—making it both a soft and sturdy choice that can hold up to frequent washing.What our editors have to say: “Not only does a silk pillowcase make for a great gift (they come in a ton of pretty colors and prints) but they’re also perfect for traveling. I’ve tried a number of silk pillowcases over the years and Slip’s is still the best.” —Talia Abbas, senior commerce editorBest Decorative PillowcaseWhy we love it: Perfectly playful, this pillow has red tassels that embrace vibrance.What our editors have to say: “Throw pillows might have gotten a bad rap in Along Came Polly, but I still find them hard to resist.
