December bedding sales − the deepest discounts from the biggest brands
I've spent hours shopping the sales to bring you cut prices on sheets, pillows, quilts and comforters in the December bedding deals
When you shop the bedding sales, you can upgrade your bed on a budget. I've found deep discounts on sheets, shams, quilts, comforters, and pillows to suit every style of bedroom and every size of budget.
Out of all the months in the year, December is one of the best times to buy bedding on a budget. At the start of the month, you'll still find Last Call on Black Friday deals at specialist sleep stores. Some of the best places to buy bedding are already dropping deals in advance of the after-Christmas sales, where stores cut their prices in a bid to shift old stock for the new season.
Before I specialized as a sleep writer, I was a price tracker. I spent eight hours a day surfing the sites of major merchants, monitoring their prices. Now, I lead a team of expert testers in the search to find the best bedding at the fairest price. With so much listed for so little, it can be difficult to know where to start.

Sheet set deals
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set | Was $189.00, now $141.75 at Brooklinen
These are our reigning champions for the title of 'best bed sheets'. I started testing the Luxe Core Sheet Set over summer and I'm loving the super-smooth feel of sateen against my skin. A set of silky sheets is a quick and easy upgrade that goes a long way towards transforming your boring old bedroom into a sleep sanctuary.
Mellanni Queen Sheet Set | Was $50.97, now $29.97 at Amazon
The world's best affordable bed sheets just got even more affordable. This bestselling sheet set boasts more than 250,000 five-star reviews on Amazon, praising their wrinkle-resistance and smooth, soft finish.
ettitude Signature Sateen Sheet Set | Was $289.00, now $202.30 at ettitude
Most of the bamboo sheet sets you see online are made from bamboo viscose or bamboo/polyester blends. These sets are cheaper, but they're far less sustainable than the real thing. That's why I'm so glad to see an $80 on bamboo lyocell sheets, which are free from harmful chemicals and plastics and treated with food-grade, non-toxic solvents. They're great for eco-conscious shoppers and anyone with sensitive skin.
Sijo AiryWeight Eucalyptus Sheet Set | Was $185.00, now $138.75 at Sijo
If you're a hot sleeper, or you prefer to sleep on natural fibers, then these are the sheets for you. Eucalyptus is moisture-wicking and antimicrobial, built to bust the bacteria that breeds in warm, damp environments, such as bedrooms, while keeping you cool and dry.
Quince European Linen Sheet Set | Was $289.00, now $169.90 at Quince
I can't help but admire the colorways at Quince. You can shop these luxe linen sheets in natural, neutral hues, from white sand to charcoal gray, or consider dusty blue and soft blush. You can even play with prints and patterns with stripes and gingham. Linen is lightweight yet durable, ideal for summer nights and able to withstand the washing machine.
Comforter deals
Yalamilla Down Comforter | Was $252.99, now $49.99 at Walmart
For natural loft and cozy comfort, there's nothing like real down. This comforter is filled with duck and goose feathers to retain heat and keep you just the right side of warm and dry. If you're looking for something a bit thicker for winter, I suggest you upgrade to the all-season comforter. This price is actually lower than it was over Black Friday.
Buffy Cloud Comforter | Was $195.00, now $146.25 at Buffy
This down alternative comforter looks and feels like the real thing. Filled with fine fill fibers, each of which is thinner than an eyelash, then encased in eucalyptus lyocell, the Buffy Cloud Comforter combines the loft and lightness of duck and goose feathers with the cooling properties of eucalyptus. This is the best choice for anyone who prefers not to purchase animal products.
Bedsure Comforter | Was $41.99, now $26.99 at Amazon
This is one of the best-rated duvet inserts on Amazon, with more than 50,000 verified five-star reviews. Happy customers praise the comfort, cooling, and value for money of the Bedsure Comforter, though a few shoppers note that it lacks a little of the loft of real down. If you're buying on a budget, this is your best bet.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Comforter | Was $424, now $233.20 at Cozy Earth
The Cozy Earth Bamboo Comforter is available with Extra fill for a seriously sumptuous spread. It's naturally thermoregulating for hot sleepers and summer nights and it's unequivocally luxurious.
Pillow deals
True Temp Pillow | Buy one, get one 50% off at Sleep Number
This pillow comes in three shapes to suit different sorts of sleepers. There's the Classic Pillow, which lies firm and flat for stomach sleepers; the Contour Pillow, which has a handy dip for the back of your head to promote ergonomic alignment; and the Ultimate Pillow, which features removable foam inserts to suit all sleep positions.
Tempur-Pedic Memory Foam Symphony Pillow | Was $119.00, now $90.00 at Amazon
This dual-sided pillow is designed to suit all sleep positions. One side is gently arched to cradle the neck and shoulders of back and side sleepers, while the other is flat to suit stomach sleepers. This is the sort of pillow that would go well in a guest room: your friends need only flip to find the perfect pillow.
Woolroom Deluxe Washable Wool Pillow | Was $127.49, now $82.87 at Woolroom
An adjustable pillow is just the thing for guest rooms and fussy sleepers. The Woolroom Deluxe Washable Wool Pillow makes it easy to find your ideal pillow height and feel − all you need to do is reach down inside the case to remove and replace handfuls of organic wool.
Brooklinen Down Pillow | Was $109.00, now $81.75 at Brooklinen
If you want a fluffy pillow to form a beautiful bedspread, then you should narrow the search to real down. There are thousands of tiny air pockets between the feathers, which retain heat and maintain loft. Eco-conscious shoppers can rest assured that Brooklinen down is certified by the Responsible Down Standard.
The Marlow Pillow | Was $65.00, now $36.75 at Brooklinen
Like I said, I love an adjustable pillow, but they can get messy. Oftentimes, during testing, I find myself searching for somewhere to store surplus fluff or an extra insert. You don't have to do that with the Marlow Pillow – just push and pull the zippers to let air into and out of the pillow.
FAQs
Why is bedding so expensive?
Not all bedding is expensive, but I take your point: it can be hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars on sheets and shams. That's why I tend to steer clear of the luxury design houses, where you're paying less for a product and more for a brand name.
As H&G's resident sleep writer, I'm often asked: 'how much should I spend on sheets?' My golden rule is somewhere between $50 - $200 for a Queen. The best bedding should be reasonably priced, when you consider the time and money that goes into making it. You're paying for premium fabrics, artisan craftsmanship, and timeless style.
If you're tight on time and money, and you need new bedding at a cut price, your best bet is a set of the best affordable bed sheets. Bedding bundles from big-name brands, such as Saatva and Sijo, deliver premium performance without the premium price tag.
When is the best time to buy bedding?
The best time to buy bedding is Black Friday: that's when you'll see the greatest breadth of deals and depth of discounts. A lot of stores open up Early Access sales at the start of November and extend them into the first week of December, so you've got plenty of time to shop for Black Friday bedding deals.
When you're shopping a major sales event, it pays to keep your wits about you. Remember: If a deal looks too good to be true, then you might be paying for a low price on a poor product.
If you've got expensive taste, be sure to shop the luxury bedding sales at Bloomingdale's. I've never seen such deep discounts on bedding sets from Sferra, Frette, and Matouk.
