When it comes to the best linen sheets, you have an overwhelming field of options. Luckily our editors have tested many, many, many sets of sheets. When it comes to the ultimate in easygoing, high-quality and chic bedding, this is the fabric you’ll want to reach for when making your next purchase. This roundup of the best linen sheets will prove to any skeptic that linen has as much of a place at a beachside picnic as it does in the bedroom. You may think linen is just for summer—and yes, the moisture-wicking fabric is fantastic for body temperature regulation (hot-sleepers rejoice)—but the light, long-lasting fabric with outstanding breathability has become increasingly popular year-round for sheets, duvets, and shams (not to mention drapes, headboards, and bed skirts—but that’s another story).

As luxury linen has moved into the mainstream to become one of the softest bedding options, a major bonus is that a far more appealing range of price points and color options are now dominating the market. From the shockingly well-priced all the way to high-end heirloom-worthy selections (including stonewashed linen sheets) there’s something for every budget—so you won’t have to look too hard for eco-friendly, organic options when you’re shopping for your next set of sheets.

Linen bedding has universal appeal, whether you want to refine the look of your bedroom or just sleep on sheets that get softer from the first wash on (yes, that’s real!). Another plus? Linen fibers, which are derived from the flax plant, are naturally hypoallergenic, absorbent, and antibacterial, so a great option if you’ve got sensitive skin. There also isn’t thread count to worry about when you’re shopping in the linen section, unlike cotton sheets.

But perhaps we’re leaving out the best part: Wrinkles are included and encouraged! Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best linen sheets from bedding brands that deliver that lived-in luxury look.

Note: Prices reflect queen-size linen sheet sets unless otherwise noted.

Beloved bedding start-up Brooklinen added linen to its offerings not too long after launching (despite the name, the company previously traded in cotton only). And while linen is associated with breezy warm summer nights, these work all year long. “When I got these I thought white linen sheets year-round might be a slightly bold move, since I don’t live my life on a Greek island,” said design editor Madeleine Luckel. “But the nature of the fiber is versatile and temperature regulating.” Their core sheet set, available in 14 shades, is made with Oeko-Tex-certified linen. In keeping with the company’s commitment to affordable luxury, their linen sheet sets start at $259.
