One of the most fun parts of sheet shopping is choosing color and pattern. If you have a specific aesthetic or interior design vision in mind, that’s something important to consider as you shop. Not all brands carry a wide variety of colors and patterns, so you may want to start your search with brands that do if that is important to you.

A soft, stretchable fabric, Jersey is a breathable option that has good temperature-regulating, although it may be a little too warm for hot sleepers.

If you compare linen vs cotton sheets in terms of breathability, another major difference emerges — linen will keep you much cooler at night because of its longer fibers and, therefore, looser weave. Air can pass through linen more easily, keeping your body cool. Cotton, as previously discussed, can also be perfect for warm sleepers (in the case of percale bedding), but linen definitely has the edge over it.

Each component in your bedding, from the bed sheet to the broader bed linens, has a specific function and usage that contributes to your overall sleep experience.
