Here are the best sheets available at Walmart in different styles, colors, and price points. If you want a tidy, neatly-made bed that would make your mother proud, then look for a set of sheets that washes and wears well. This pick is made with 100 percent microfiber that’s double-brushed for an ultra-soft feel, and the set is breathable and hypoallergenic. Another plus? These sheets are resistant to wrinkling, fading, staining, and shrinking, so they’re easy to care for and built to last. The six-piece set includes a deep-pocket fitted sheet, flat sheet, and four pillowcases. It’s available in all standard bed sizes, and you have 28 colors to choose from, including charcoal gray, white, and royal blue. This set boasts a soft feel, and the sheets are available in sizes ranging from twin to king (and available in a bunch of color options), so these sheets will fit your bed and your budget. These may start to wear after many washes, so if you want a set that will last for years, this may not be the best choice. But for an affordable option, you can’t beat the value of this Mainstays Microfiber Sheet Set. The soft and comfy sheet set is available in queen, king, and California king sizes, and you can choose from seven versatile colors, including ivory, blue, and seafoam. Each set includes a fitted sheet with a 17-inch pocket, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases, and the sheets are machine-washable. The durable sheet set is available in seven versatile shades like blue, teal, and white, and sizes range from twin to California king. The twin-sized set includes a fitted sheet with a 16-inch pocket, a flat sheet, and one pillowcase. The other sets come with two pillowcases and fit mattresses up to 17 inches, and every set is machine-washable. Made from 100 percent cotton with a sateen weave, these hotel-style sheets are available in a rich color palette that will add a touch of elegance to your bedroom. The sheets are available for full, queen, and king-sized mattresses and feature deep pockets that will accommodate mattresses up to 20 inches deep. That’s usually also plenty of room to fit around a mattress topper as well. Plus, the OptiFit elastic band around the fitted sheet keeps the sheets in place and looking great, even if you toss and turn at night. Made from a modal jersey (technically, 70 percent modal and 30 percent combed cotton), they’re soft enough to make you feel like you’re sleeping in your favorite tee. They also tend to wash and dry well, making them easy to care for, though jersey is known to shift and bunch a bit during sleep. Note that while these sheets are supremely soft, they may sleep a little hotter. If you tend to be a hot sleeper, these may not be the best sheets for you. They’re brushed on both sides for softness, which is a key factor to look for when shopping for flannel sheets, and they get softer and cozier with repeated washing. As they are laundered, the soft nap of the flannel becomes fuzzier and fluffier, which gives these flannel sheets their characteristic coziness.
Thread Count
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into each square inch of any given fabric. For sheets, this can translate to how tightly woven, soft, and smooth the fabric is. A durable yet soft thread count can have anywhere from a 300 to 500 thread count. Higher thread counts may feel softer, but can sometimes have weaker, thinner, threads, though this ultimately depends on the fiber material.
Ease of Cleaning
Different types of sheets require different care and cleaning protocols. For example, cotton sheets are easy to care for and can be tossed in the washing machine regularly while still maintaining their softness. Microfiber sheets are great for their stain-resistant properties. Silk sheets may be more difficult to care for at home but are some of the most cooling options. Before purchasing sheets, check out the care label on the back to see how to best clean them.
