r/Frugal on Reddit: Best Bedding for King Sized Beds
March 29, 2025 -

Best bedding for your money?

I have a king sized bed, mattress is only 7-8" deep (love my mattress so that won't change for a while) but my issue is my sheets keep pulling off the corners and I am so over it.

What are your favorite best, most comfortable non-slipping sheets? I have checked out "deep pocket" sheets but my bed isn't the 18-24" deep.

We typically sleep on the cooler side.

Bonus for nice pillow suggestions as well!

r/Bedding on Reddit: Why is choosing the right bedsheets so fucking hard? (researched literally for a week and found nothing)
1 week ago -

I’m genuinely curious if anyone else has dealt with this or if I’m just overthinking it.

I finally decided to upgrade my bedding from my scratchy college Amazon basics because I wake up sweating half the time. I figured, "I’m an adult, let’s invest in something good."

I started researching, and honestly, it’s a total disaster.

  • Big Box (Kirkland/Target): Reviews say they last forever but feel just "fine" or sleep hot.

  • Instagram Brands (Brooklinen/Boll & Branch): They want $200-$300. That is a big f*cking investment for fabric. Plus, Reddit is full of people saying the quality has tanked (pilling/tearing) while prices keep going up.

  • Amazon Cheapies: "$40 for 1000 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton." that just sounds Bullsh*t. Real Egyptian cotton is expensive. They have to be blending it with trash to hit that price and threadcount is literally a marketing gimmick.

The worst part is the lack of education. I had to dig for days just to learn the difference between Percale (crisp) and Sateen (silky), or difference between Duvet and a Comforter. Why does every brand just yell "HOTEL QUALITY" or "800 thread count" instead of explaining what I'm actually buying?

I honestly don't mind the investment. I’ll happily pay $200 for great sheets. But for that price, I want transparency. I want to know exactly what the material is, if it will survive the wash, and if it actually fits my thick-ass mattress, not just guess and get stuck in the "return game, because in the picture it looked really good and it had good reviews on their own website.

so my question to y'all, is there a brand that you guys really trust and that has done a good job in explaining you and educating you on what sort of sheets would be the perfect one for you and your sleep, before you buy it, or did you guys have to go through this reddit dig through like me, to figure out where to put your money?

I felt that rant in my SOUL. It's so fucking difficult to get ANYTHING these days imo because of enshittification. The quality has gone down and the marketing has gone up...that is, there's so much more marketing than actual info and half the time I can't tell what's just a buzzword and what's actually important. I have no advice on the actual sheets. When I bought my "adult" sheets it was just because sheets were on sale at Costco and they felt okay when I felt them up lmao. I wanted to get more but fell down the same rabbit hole and said fuck it, no more sheets.

First, measure the depth of your mattress. With the measurement add  3 inches and that is the smallest pocket depth on a fitted sheet you can go without the sheet popping off all the time. Don't buy a sheet more than 8 inches to deep, otherwise it will shift way too much. You are correct about the Egyptian cotton - companies can put in 5% of the STRAIN of Egyptian cotton ( not even grown in proper conditions) and slap it on the label. Thread count is kind of a gimmick - companies can count them differently if they use a double yarn thread and doesn't necessarily mean a higher count is better quality. It just means the more threads, the thicker the weave and the thicker the fabric which is awful for hot sleepers. Personally I like linen much better than cotton anyhow, it gets super soft with use and last really well. Not cheap, but I find they last much longer than my cotton sheets anyways. I've enjoyed Bed Threads for linen, and they recently came out with cotton sheets as well that I would actually try since I love the linens ones so much. I used to sell luxury bedding so I'm... particular about my bedding. Lol

So im browsing through amazon and other sites and there are like 10000 different bedsheets, people calling each other a scam/ not real eqyptian thread or not 1000 count etc. I just need a good quality bedsheet that cost 100 or preferably less, that's worth the price. Any suggestions?

Thread count is what the ignorant look at. When buying sheets, skip over that metric as its useless. Maker A uses threads the size of a jump rope and may have a thread count of 6 and Maker B uses threads that are 25 microns and has a thread count of 1000. Which will last longer? Real Egyptian. What you are alluding to is fraud and you are subject to it with sheets from Target or $1500 Sferra sheets. So wringing your hands on this subject is silly as we have to trust the manufacturer. Metrics of sheet purchase are as follows, so mix and match them and sally forth. Linen is a material. Linen is generally viewed as having a longer lifespan than cotton. Linen is generally more pill resistant than cotton. Linen is generally viewed as cooler than cotton. Cotton is a material. Cotton is generally viewed as having a shorter lifespan than linen. Cotton is generally less pill resistant than linen. Cotton is generally viewed as warmer than linen. Percale and sateen are weave types. Percale weaves are generally viewed as cooler than Sateen weaves. Percale weaves are generally viewed as having a longer lifespan than Sateen weaves. Sateen weaves are generally viewed as being softer while Percale weaves are generally view as crisper. Short staple cotton will pill faster than long staple cotton. Short staple cotton will also feel less soft than long staple cotton. What is long staple cotton? I will declare it like Michael Scott: Egyptian cotton, Supima cotton and Pima cotton are the terms generally used unless it generically states, "long staple cotton". If you don't see these words, it is not long staple cotton.

October 9, 2025 -

I am looking for bed sheets that will stay on my king size bed. I have tried many different brands and have splurged for good quality sheets claiming they will stay on. Anyways, I have settled for a set from Amazon that do sort of stay on. The corners don’t come up but the sides do. It’s so annoying. The sheets I have on my spare bed are Ralph Lauren 100% cotton sheets that I took from my MIL. she doesn’t remember where she got them. I like them because they are a thick sheet that has like no stretch to them. They’re tight as well which I like. Please where can I find these or similar sheets.

r/Bedding on Reddit: I know It's Been Asked Before... Best King Percale SHeet Set In The Sub $200 Range??? :)
March 17, 2025 -

EDIT: Just got the California Design Den in today and washed. They are slightly* less smooth than the Brooklinen, but virtually indistinguishable. Stitching, look, and feel. I paid $165 for the Brooklined Core set, this set form CDD was $62. Go figure. The flat sheet from CDD, is a good 14" wider as well. Purely based on how the feel, I'm gonna be totally happy with them. A few more washes and I'm sure they will smooth out a little more and be even harder to tell apart from the Brooklinen.

If anyone reading this is considering Brooklinen, 100% just buy the Percale set from California Design Den.

I'm looking to replace a set from Brooklinen I bought 4-5 years ago. I've honestly been really happy with those... I like really crispy thicker sheets. Crispy, crispy sheets! Really not trying to spend over $200 please.

Thanks for all your input!!!

October 15, 2025 -

Update: Updated the list with more current results can't edit the image here but you can see it: here on Project page

I scraped comments from 70+ posts where people asked “what’s the best bed sheets?” (plus some big home and bedroom rec threads), then ran the whole pile of thousands of comments through an LLM pipeline to see which brands consistently get love vs. mixed reviews. Goal wasn’t just “most mentioned,” but also “most positively talked about.”

Method in a nutshell:
– Scraped 70+ “best bed sheets?” threads & home gear megathreads
– Ran GPT-5 + Gemini 2.5 to extract product names and classify sentiment
– Scoring = ~70% positive vs. negative differential + ~30% positive/total ratio
– Merged name variants so duplicates didn’t inflate scores (e.g., “Brooklinen Luxe Core,” “Brooklinen Sheets” → one entry) + some other nerdy sentiment tweaks that I won't bore you with

Would love your feedback! any sheet brands you think are overrated, underrated, or surprisingly good for the price?
