The Complete Bedding Guide: How to Choose, Care For & Style Your Sheets

Bedding, Simplified.

Your Complete Guide to Choosing, Caring For & Loving Your Sheets.

Because great sleep starts with great bedding.

Let’s make bedding simple again.
Whether you’re figuring out what size fits your mattress, trying to decode “microfiber vs. cotton,” or just want sheets that actually stay soft, this guide is your go-to resource. We’ll walk you through everything from picking the perfect set to keeping it fresh, comfy, & beautiful for years.

Choosing the Right Sheets

Not all sheets are created equal, & not all marketing claims are worth your REM cycles.
Let’s start with the basics.

Fabric Feel

Forget thread count. Focus on fiber quality and weave.

Our double-brushed microfiber isn’t just soft, it’s breathable, durable, & made to last wash after wash without pilling or fading.

It’s proof that luxury doesn’t have to mean fussy.


Quick Tip:
If you sleep hot, go for breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics (like ours 😉).
If you’re always cold, layering is your best friend... start with soft microfiber & add texture for extra warmth & visual appeal.


Fit & Function

Few things ruin a good night’s sleep faster than a fitted sheet that pops off mid-dream.

That’s why every Sweet Sheets® fitted sheet features deep pockets, reinforced elastic, & a secure fit that actually stays put. (For the entire night.)


Bonus: We offer every size, from Twin to Split King, so you can finally stop tucking & actually start sleeping.

Caring for Your Bedding

Beautiful bedding should be easy to care for... not something that needs a chore chart.


How Often Should You Wash Your Sheets?

Ideally every 1-2 weeks (or more often if you’re a hot sleeper or have allergies).

Regular washing keeps fibers fresh, removes buildup, & helps your sheets last years longer.


Washing Tips

- Wash in cold or warm water with mild detergent.
- Skip fabric softeners, they can coat fibers & reduce breathability.
- Tumble dry on low for best results.
- No ironing needed - wrinkles smooth naturally after drying.


Storage & Rotation

Rotate between 2-3 sets so you always have one ready... even on laundry day.

Store them in a cool, dry spot (bonus points  organizing by size & color).

Styling for Every Season

Your bedroom should evolve with the seasons, & your sheets can help set the mood.

Spring & Summer

Think cool, crisp, & breathable.

Pair light microfiber sheets (like Cotton Candy or Vanilla Frosting) with a single duvet & breathable throw.


Fall & Winter

Time to cozy up.

Layer deeper hues (Saskatoon Pie or Red Velvet) with heavier duvets & textured blankets for warmth that still breathes.


Designer Tip:
Mixing textures (like a velvet pillow with smooth microfiber) instantly elevates your space... no interior designer required!

Sheet Sizes Explained

Because “standard” isn’t always standard.

Mattresses have gotten thicker, hybrid, & adjustable, which means your sheets need to keep up.


Our fitted sheets are designed with extra-deep pockets (fits mattresses up to 16”), elastic all around, & size-specific labeling so you never mix up your twins & doubles again.

Real Comfort. Real Stories.

Thousands of customers trust Sweet Sheets® for their best sleep ever, & it’s not just the fabric. It’s the feeling of finally finding something that works.

Love the sheets

I have an adjustable bed and the corners of the fitted sheet STAY On! This is huge, as I have fitted sheets that I have to put back over the corner several times a night.

Highly recommend!!

I never thought we would find sheets to keep both my husband and myself happy. He is always cold so he'd be happy with flannelette sheets all summer long. I'm always sooo hot! Anyway, these sheets are the perfect solution. They are light and soft but feel warm and cozy even when you first slide in. We are so happy with them we bought another Sweet Sheets set and sold our 100% cotton sheets. We both sleep so much better, he's not cold and I'm not hot!!!

Very Nice

These sheets really are everything they say they are. Absolutely love the color! These sheets are well worth the money. They are also nice and cool. I was worried about them being hot for sleeping but they're not at all.
