To get a good night's sleep, you want a solid bed frame and a supportive mattress − but nobody needs designer bedding. Stylish sheets and shams make little impact on your sleep quality, but they'll instantly elevate the look and feel of your bedroom.
From Vera Wang to Ralph Lauren, some of the biggest names in fashion also make bedding. Most designer bedding is clean and crisp, though you'll see the occasional burst of color and texture from maximalist brands. Since designer bedding comes in every style and size, it can be difficult to know where to start.
That's where I come in. As H&G's resident Sleep Editor, I've sampled some of the world's best bed sheets. I've snuggled under the best comforter and laid my head upon the best pillow. I have an eye for design, but I won't compromise on comfort or cooling.

I'm often asked, 'how much should I spend on sheets?' Before you start shopping, I recommend you set your own budget, with a minimum and a maximum limit. The best designer bedding will always be more expensive than, say, the best affordable bed sheets, but you could save hundreds of dollars when you shop the bedding sales.
Vera Wang
Vera Wang haute couture is chic, sophisticated yet simple. Her bedding brand plays by the same rules. Vera sticks to a classic color palette of pure whites, light grays, and deep, dark blacks: the closest she comes to color is a gray-toned blue.
Where a lot of designers push linen collections or bedding bundles, the Vera Wang Amazon storefront allows you to pick your own pieces, then mix and match to create a bespoke bedspread.
Made from wrinkle-resistant cotton sateen, these sheets should lie beautifully across your bed. Each flat sheet, fitted sheet and pillowcase is ornamented with a scalloped edge for a sweet finish.
This duvet cover is woven into waffle pique for touchable texture. Fill it with a down duvet insert for lots of natural loft or stick to down alternative if you suffer from allergies.
This 100% cotton blanket is totally reversible, with ribs and ridges throughout each side. It would look just as good draped over the edge of your bed as strewn across your sofa.
Ralph Lauren
From his classic cable-knits to his crisp white linens, Ralph Lauren does casual luxury better than anyone. The same cool class that characterises Ralph Lauren clothing carries through to his bedding brand. You'll see pinstripes and paisley prints, and cable-knit cushions set against denim blue backgrounds.
If you like the look of a particular piece, you can shop the matching set, and get a flat sheet, fitted sheet, duvet case and cover. Most of the time, you'll find a pillow or a cozy blanket thrown in for good measure.
If you like the look and feel of a crisply tailored shirt, you might appreciate Ralph Lauren's Shirting Stripe collection. These sheets are cut from the same cloth as the finest menswear and feature double-needle topstitching to boost breathability.
If you prefer to err on the side of subtlety, you might appreciate the Bethany Jacquard Bedding Collection. Each piece features soft swirls and florals with a stitch-down tailored flange for neatness.
The Oxford Bedding Collection oozes Americana. The stars are stitched in yarn, while the stripes are woven from organic cotton, and each piece is secured with topstitching.
Hugo Boss
Hugo Boss makes bedding that looks a lot like their menswear. Several of the sheet sets are constructed from cotton piqué: a breezy, breathable weave that's ideal for hot sleepers and more commonly used to make polo shirts and tennis skirts.
For sleepers with sensitive skin, I would recommend something slightly softer in cotton sateen. Hugo Boss bedding is designed for stylish sleepers with busy lives: that's why almost every piece is washer-, dryer-, and iron-safe.
If you've ever shopped at Hugo Boss, you'll recognize this iconic color scheme. This gray and beige bedding celebrates Boss's classic tricolor. It should blend beautifully with all styles of bedroom decor.
These sheets come in gray, charcoal, camel, and natural flax. You could pick a favorite shade or mix and match to create your own bespoke bedding.
Each flat sheet, fitted sheet, duvet cover and pillowcase in this collection is crafted from silky-soft cotton sateen and printed with blue and white tennis stripes.
Sferra
Unless you're serious about your sleep, you might not have heard of Sferra. Let me put you onto something: this is one of the best luxury bedding brands in the business. Sferra cater for every size and style of sleeper and make it easy for you to find what you're looking for, thanks to their in-site navigation system. You can filter your search for sheets to silky smooth Egyptian cotton or moisture-wicking alpaca wool. You can shop for Herringbone or matelassé accents, in addition to your standard jacquard and lace.
Best of all, Sferra is one of the only designer bedding brands to offer twin-sized selections, so that the smallest child can sleep in style.
Although the Rombo Collection includes just three items – two shams and a coverlet – the right colors can make a big impact. I love the look of willow green peeking out between the best white bed sheets.
Each sheet, sham, and case in the Fiona Collection is crafted from long-staple cotton and woven into super-smooth sateen. Complete the look with a bed skirt and a swatch of Fiona Fabric.
For understated elegance, consider the Sferra Estate Collection. The plain white sheets should complement any bedroom color palette while the appliqué detail draws the eye.
Matouk
I don't have a thousand dollars to drop on a sheet set. If I ever do, Matouk is where I want to shop. Every sheet and sham is made by an artisan, who weaves, embroiders, irons, and folds by hand. Matouk has manufactured luxury linens for more than a century, from the same base in Fall River, Massachusetts.
Theirs is one of only three USA production facilities to be OEKO-TEX SteP certified for sustainable textile production. Naturally moisture-wicking and antimicrobial, Matouk bedding is kind to your skin, kind to the planet, and seriously stylish, too.
Tapes and trims add interest to these otherwise plain white sheets. But there's more to the Astor Braid than meets the eye. Each piece is made from crisp cotton percale for that hotel-quality finish.
I've never seen bedding like this. Inspired by Moroccan mosaic, each sheet, case, and cover in the Aziza Collection features a zig-zag appliqué cut to add depth and dimension
Woven from Giza Egyptian cotton, these sheets are accented with hemstitch detail for a dramatic drape. They should feel cool to the touch and soft against your skin.
Michael Amini
Take the quiet luxury trend, flip it on its head, and turn up the volume: you might come close to the scale and grandeur of Michael Amini. Where most designer bedding brands prefer to play with subtle shapes and muted shades, Michael Amini embraces loud luxury. His sheet sets are so sumptuous that they only come in King: anything smaller just won't fit.
Your typical Michael Amini bedding collection contains one comforter, four shams, and more decorative pillows than you can count. To complete the country castle aesthetic, you'll find a dust skirt and a monogrammed cushion.
Bring English Country Manor style across the pond with the Woodside Park Comforter Set. Oversized stripes and paisley prints work together to draw the eye without overwhelming the space.
This queen-sized comforter set oozes Old World glamor. Totally reversible, you can show the spa blue side or the gold jacquard: whichever blends best with your bedroom decor.
Jewel tones and paisley patterns evoke the stained glass windows of Seville, Spain. This comforter set would make a real statement on a four-poster bed or in a master bedroom.
FAQs
How can I get designer bedding for less?
When you shop the luxury bedding sales, you could save hundreds of dollars on the best designer bedding. Still, when you're shopping for premium bedding, you can't be surprised by a premium price tag. These sets are designed by some of the biggest names in fashion and hand-crafted by artisans. If your heart is saying 'luxury', but your budget is whispering 'necessity', it might be best to stick to window shopping while you save up the funds.
Which are the best designer bedding brands?
For elegant understatement, shop at Sferra or Vera Wang: for the complete opposite, try Michael Amini. Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss make breathable, durable bedding, designed for stylish sleepers. These collections play with prints and patterns, but they should be subtle enough to blend with any bedroom decor. Personally, my favorite designer bedding brand is Matouk, for sheer breadth of choice: I've found crisp cotton percale sheets alongside silky sateen sets.
Ever wondered 'which bedding do luxury hotels use?' I've got the answers. I spoke to top hoteliers and head housekeepers to find out where they source their sheets, comforters, and pillows, so that you can replicate their five-star bedspreads.
