Brooklinen Review: We Slept on Their 5 Bestselling Sheets and Have Thoughts

In our opinion, yes, Brooklinen sheets are definitely worth the price. Our only advice is to consider what type of sleeper you are to make sure you're not only getting the most bang for your buck but also to ensure that whatever sheets you end up getting remain your favorite set for years to come. For instance, opt for the linen or sateen set if you're a hot sleeper. If, on the other hand, you tend to get chilly at night, go with the cashmere or percale options. There's truly something for everyone. What's more, they're made with the consumer (you) in mind, so they can withstand plenty of washes, ironing, night sweats, and more without falling apart. Take it from us: you don't need to be terribly precious with these sheets—any of them.

Each set of Brooklinen sheets comes with detailed care instructions that are sewn right into the tag. For the most part, you can pop them in the washer on hot and dryer on a low-tumble setting. If, however, you're unsure, just be sure to read the instructions. You can always hang dry if you want to avoid wrinkles or shrinkage, but all of Brooklinen's sheets have been pre-shrunk, so that is generally not an issue. The only sheets we'd say to exercise a bit more caution with are the linen ones, which are more prone to shrinkage than the others. If you want to air on the side of safety, wash them in cold with like colors and dry them on the lowest tumble cycle your dryer offers. As soon as the dryer cycle is finished, take the sheets out and lay them flat to avoid wrinkles. Once they're totally cooled, fold them up and store them in your linen closet, or go ahead and make the bed with them.

Yes, Brooklinen sheets can and do fit a standard mattress (here are our favorite comfortable mattresses to shop), which, according to the brand, is 10 inches thick. For anyone who prefers their mattresses on the thicker side, do not worry; you can still snag a pair of Brooklinen sheets for your bed. All of the fitted sheets are designed to tuck over mattresses up to 16 inches deep. Anything thicker than that will probably cause the corners to spring up if you move throughout the night. Keep in mind that the thinner you go, the roomier the feel of the sheets will be, so if you want them to fit snugly over the mattress, you'll need a mattress anywhere between 12 and 15 inches thick. One more thing to note is the stretch of the sheets. Some, like the luxe sateen, are a bit more forgiving than others, like the linen, so if your mattress is on the thicker side, you may want to grab a set of the sateen sheets.

In our experience, Brooklinen sheets hold up pretty well. Of course, the more you wash them, the faster they'll start to fade in terms of quality, but that's generally the case with any set of sheets. The best way to maintain their comfort is to clean them according to the specific instructions. No sheets, no matter how good, are not designed to last forever. In fact, some experts recommend replacing them every two to three years. If you want to invest in the longest-lasting sheets, generally speaking, linen is your best bet. These durable options will last anywhere from three to five years.

When it comes to picking out the best (and most affordable) pieces for any bedroom, including our own, Cherner and McKenzie have been reviewing bedding products for over eight years. Between the two of us, too, we shamelessly have more than eight (yes, eight!) sets of sheets, so who better to write about the best options from one of our favorite brands than us? Since we'd say that we're on a never-ending quest to maximize the comfort and look of our own spaces, you can trust that we have done our homework to find the best sets on the market.

Not to mention, we have covered the best linen sheets, Cherner's personal favorite bamboo sheets, sustainable sheets, and more. For this story, we and several other House Beautiful editors spent weeks, and even years, sleeping on dozens of top-rated bedding brands to determine the best Brooklinen options to purchase. If you're trying to snag more for your bed than just sheets, we've also written about the most comfortable latex pillows, down comforters, and more, so shop away.
