According to multiple sources, including Martha Stewart, Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, The Spruce, Sleep Foundation, and Oprah Daily, the softest sheets are made of a variety of materials, including cotton, linen, bamboo, microfiber, and flannel. The softness of the sheets depends on the material and how it is constructed. Here are some of the softest sheet sets recommended by these sources:
- Brooklinen Luxe Hardcore Sheet Bundle

When shopping for the softest sheets, it is important to consider the material, weave, and thread count. Cotton sheets with extra-long fibers create particularly silky final products. Sateen weave will feel silky smooth, but itll probably cost more. A percale weave will be more breathable and budget-friendly, making it a great option for hot sleepers or for the summer months.
