Top 7 Tips For Finding High Quality Bedding in 2025

1. Pay Attention to Fabric

The material used for the bedding you choose not only determines how it feels, but also how well it breathes, regulates temperature, and generally how it will hold up over time.

Natural fibers, such as cotton, are often high on the list of preferred fabrics for high quality bed linen. They provide a bedding option that is both soft and durable, giving year-round comfort that is hard to match.

For those who crave an extra layer of softness, minky offers a luxurious, velvety texture that adds warmth and coziness. High-grade minky is incredibly durable, fade-resistant, and holds its plush feel over time.

Opting for high quality bedding sets will also give you easier laundry days! Here’s why:

• Higher quality bedding is more likely to resist pilling, thinning, and fraying over time
• Quality bedding will feature tighter, stronger weaves that can withstand frequent washings 
• Some bedding has different finishing techniques, like double stitching and reinforced hems, that add an extra layer of protection for your bedding as you wash it

If there’s only one thing that you take into your search for the best high quality bedding, it’s that fabric can make or break your decision!

2. Know Your Way Around Thread Count

Thread count often gets a lot of attention when it comes to identifying high quality bedding, and for good reason.

So what is thread count? Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. Often, a higher thread count means that the weave is tighter, so it will last longer. 

However, you’ll want to be careful! It’s easy to fall into the trap of assuming that thread count is the only thing that matters.

While a higher thread count may sound impressive, the quality is dependent on the type of fiber, the weave style, and the quality of the yarn.

So while you may find bed sheets with a high thread count, if one of these elements is lacking, your bedding isn’t going to be as high quality as you may have hoped.

If thread count is important to you, here are some things you can keep an eye out for to make sure it’s truly high quality:

• Look for 100% cotton options
• Avoid vague labels, like “cotton-rich”
• Organic cotton or items that are OKEO-TEX certified will always be reliable

(Fun fact, all of our Beddy’s bedding is OKEO-TEX certified!)

3. Match Bedding to Your Sleep Style

Everybody has different sleep preferences.

While some may prefer a lightweight, cooler bedding style, others want something soft, warm, and super cozy to tuck into at the end of each day.

Whatever your personal preferences, you deserve to have bedding to match them!

The materials, weight, breathability, and design of your bedding are all huge factors in your sleep quality. So as you search for those high quality bed sheets, make sure you’re also choosing something that speaks to your idea of comfort.

4. Look at the Finishing Details

When it comes to bedding, the small things will often say the most about quality.

Finishing details like reinforced seams and smooth stitching could very well be the thing that sways you to choose one bedding set over the other.

We’ve put plenty of thought into the finishing touches on our zipper bedding sets! Here are some of the finer details that set Beddy’s apart from other zipper bedding brands:

• Ultra-smooth zippers on both sides of the bed that won’t snag or catch on the material
• Strong elastic bands around the fitted portion of the bedding set that keeps it from coming off the mattress
• Comfort panels on both sides that add extra coverage

It’s the finer details that can elevate high quality bedding sets and give you your best night’s sleep, so don’t let those go unnoticed as you browse!

5. Research the Brand

The brand you purchase from can be just as important as the materials used in your quality bed sheets. Before pulling the trigger on your purchase, take some time to look into the brand you’re buying from.

What do their customer reviews say about the purchasing process and overall experience with the bedding? 

Is there any content on social media from actual users showing the product in their own home that you can look into?

What is the brand itself showcasing on their site and social media channels that could help guide your decision? How is their return policy? Is there a chat feature you could take advantage of on the site to help answer your questions?

6. Consider Long Term Value Over Price

We get it: it can be hard to compare two different sets of bedding that have a big difference in price tag. In the moment, it can be tempting to go with the less expensive set and save yourself a bit of your hard-earned money.

But when you opt for high quality bed linen, you’re not only choosing a more luxurious bedding experience, but you’re going with the option that is truly going to last.

A standard bedding set is likely to last 1-2 years before stitching starts to unravel and seams weaken after washing. But high quality bedding sets are more likely to last 5-10 years, depending on care and use.

Those quality materials and stronger stitching means that you’re replacing your bedding less frequently, saving you money in the long run.

7. Test Before You Commit (If Possible!)

Depending on the brand you’re purchasing from, you may be able to test out the product before paying!

At Beddy’s, you can take advantage of the Try Before You Buy program and sleep in your Beddy’s bedding for one week. Your card won’t be charged for seven days, so you can decide if you love it (which you will!), or if you want to send it back.

Programs like this can work wonders with putting you at ease with making your bedding choice. If you’re not able to touch and experience the bedding in person before purchasing, finding brands that offer programs like this can be incredibly helpful.
