The 7 Best Cheap Bed Sheets, According To Reviewers

It's possible to get an amazing night’s sleep on a budget, thanks to the best cheap bed sheets. Affordable bed sheets are available in a variety of fabrics — including soft cotton, warm and cozy flannel, durable and wrinkle-resistant polyester and cotton blends, smooth microfiber, or cooling bamboo — so choose one based on your needs and preferences. Make sure the sheets fit your bed size — and know that if you have a tall mattress or a mattress pad, to look for a fitted sheet with deep pockets, so it won’t slip off.

If you opt for cotton or cotton-blend sheets, pay attention to the thread count (aka the number of threads per square inch) of the sheets. Generally speaking, the higher the thread count the softer the sheet, so aim for a count of at least 200. You’ll also want to take note of the weave of cotton or cotton-blend sheets, which is another factor that impacts how they feel. The two main weave options are percale, which has a crisp feel, and sateen, which feels silky and smooth.

These bed sheet sets are all super cheap — $55 or less, in fact — so that you can enjoy a truly peaceful slumber on a budget. And Amazon reviewers are over the moon about them, too. Most are sold in four-piece sets, which typically includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases, so you'll have everything you need to jump into bed.

Enthusiastic Amazon review: "My husband loves crisp sheets. I love soft ones. We just LOVE these sheets because they satisfy both of us. They are literally so crisp that they crackle. They stay smooth and cool all night long. They are so smooth that we can make the bed in half the time because they glide over the other bedding. They wash like a dream and dry fast. The quality is excellent, and the size is quite generous. They come shipped in a nice cloth bag that is quite useful for other things. We've ordered another set. Highly recommended."

Great value- I shopped around and you can pay $100 for a Queen set( nope, I didn’t want to) and decided to give these a try. So glad I did!"

It seemed like bamboo was the best option and they do not disappoint! They keep me warm and him cool, are super soft and just feel better than any other set I’ve tried. I am planning on purchasing 2 more sets to keep as backup and using the others for guest room or for the dogs. I will never buy anything other than bamboo sheets again. They are the softest sheets I’ve ever owned by far. It’s a much different feel than cotton, it’s softer but also sturdier so they actually are wrinkle free.
