My Favorite Sheets, Top Rated Products for Your Bed

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, see the disclosure policy.
Something cut a hole in my bed sheets, I think it was Dan’s toenails (don’t say anything.)  They’re deadly.  The hole started off small, and soon became this massive rip all the way across the bed.  Totally trashed.  
I have never been more grateful for those gangly toenails because NOW I have the BEST SHEETS EVER.  It gave me all the excuse I needed to buy a couple more sets of sheets.  So, being the product junky that I am…I read reviews…which led me to my new lover, Nouvelle Legende Microfiber Coral Fleece Sheets.  It’s quite the name, for quite the sheets. 
Ew, I just noticed (right now) that I paid $25 bucks too much for these babies, they are way cheaper at Costco.com than Amazon.  What a geek.
So, the shabby picture above leaves a lot to be desired…but, the minute I slipped into these sheets, all of my wildest dreams came true.  Okay, yuck.  But, really…these are literally the softest, most float-on-cloud sheets I have ever laid my eyes and body on.  When I first bought them, I was like, “What?  These aren’t sheets.”  They look like a thin, cuddly blanket.  But, I went with it, put them on my bed and have been dreaming of unicorns and gumdrops, ever since.
When Dan saw the sheets on the bed, he said, “What??  No.  How can I call myself a man, if I sleep on those?”  But, he did.  He had to, it’s not like he will ever change the sheets.  ouch!  When he woke up in the morning, he was like, “That was nice!!”  And…he was talking about the sheets.
Oh, and FYI…these are not summer sheets, which I’m dreading the warm weather, now.  They’re cozy and warm, perfect for these chilly Utah days.

I should probably mention that there is a runner-up in my warm/cozy sheets search…the Pinzon 200 Gram Supima Velvet Flannel Sheets.  The price seems to fluctuate based on availability, which is really lame…and, they run out of the needed colors.  But, I loved these sheets enough to buy them for all of my kid’s beds.  They’re especially great for the chilly basement bedrooms.  They’re super soft, warm, and a top-rated product.  
In parting, let me leave you with a handful more of the best rated products for your bed:
Sleep Studio’s 3″ Memory Foam Topper, underneath your Microfiber Sheets, would be heaven.
Besides those great flannel sheets, I mentioned, Pinzon also makes a yummy blanket…the Microtec Blanket.

Still cold, even with these warm sheets??  The Soft Heat Electric Heated Mattress Pad is the clear winner, for it’s kind.

The greatest and best reviewed pillow available is “Z” by Malouf.  It perfectly cradles your head, supporting your neck and back.  Cozy like a down pillow, but it bounces right back into place.  Reviewers go nuts over it, saying it is the “perfect” pillow. 

 Malouf also wins for the greatest mattress protector.  It’s Amazon’s top rated!  Check out this product description, crazy stuff:

“Every night your body sheds millions of skin flakes and loses up to one liter of body fulid through your skin pores and mouth. Up to 2 million dust mites can live in your unprotected mattress. Dust mites survivie on dead skin cells and bodily fluids. Allergic reactions are caused by the waste and skin these dust mites leave behind. Exposure to dust mites has been proven to lead to the development of asthma in young children. Allergens produced by dust mites are the most common trigger for asthmatics. Dust mites have been shown to be a leading cause of eczema. LinenSpa mattress protectors cut off the food supply to dust mites, making it impossible for them to survive. The breathable material, consisting of a cotton terry top and polyurethane on the back, maintains a comfortable sleeping temperature and is noiseless.”

  The owner of the company is also a good friend of mine, and fellow “she”…see her post on Pillows 101. 

Sweet dreams!

    Funny this is what your post is about today. I spent time yesterday looking at reviews on sheets. I noticed over the weekend a hole is our sheets too.

  10. Stephanie says

    Oh how nice these would be let me say I can relate with the hole in the sheets story storywe have been married for 14 years and just last month finally trashed our first set of sheets they were the best sheets ever but we had finally both had wore holes in them at the bottom. We have purchased other sheets but some how always resorted back to these sheets cause we just loved them so we both have been kinda of in a sheet slump not knowing what to do without our good old 14 year old sheets so these may be the anwsers to my prayers literally in finding some good sheets thanks for offering this fun contest and hopefully getting us back to the good old day of having some sheets we love to some this mind sound silly but there is nothing like a good set of sheets and a goodnight sleep to go with it.

  14. bobbi says

    That pillow sounds awesome!! I have had a hard time tryting to find a pillow I like (I am a back sleeper) and this looks like the answer!!!

  27. the nayz says

    My hubby and I are currently shopping for a new mattress and it would be a perfect match if I were to win the pillow and mattress protector.

  29. Sara says

    Hmmm. Maybe that’s the source of my son’s asthma problems. I hope I win, so we can test it out and see if it helps.

  33. Heidi says

    Oh my I NEED a new pillow as I have been waking up with a sore neck!! That pillow looks awesome!! And I think I am going to try out those sheets!!

  40. The Colby's says

    Oh, how I would LOVE a new pillow! And we need a mattress protector. This is an amazing give away! Lots of love to you and her for making it possible.

  42. Melody says

    I’ve been trying to find the right pillow for my husband…I spent way more on a pillow for him for Christmas than I should have…and it didn’t even work for him. Maybe this z pillow is the thing. 🙂

  44. Elizabeth says

    I am a new follower and love your site. Just looking at all the layers on your bed, made me extremely sleepy and wanting to “fluff” up my bed and just sleep for a good couple of hours. Love your site.

  48. Laura says

    I have been searching for the perfect pillow for years! By the way, I totally relate to the whole husband with killer toenail problem. Ahem. Hope I win!

  52. jerronscs says

    What a great post! It is so hard to pick out great sheets so thanks for the great advice! We are in the process of getting a new bed…any tips on a great bed for people with bad backs? 🙂 We would love a new pillow and mattress protector to start it off right!!! Thanks so much!!

  54. Jen says

    Great post! I gotta say…I am DYING to try both those things, especially the pillow! I think my neck pops all day because of my crappy pillow! Help! 🙂

  55. LM says

    I just put “buy new pillows” on my “to do” list yesterday – it must be an omen 🙂 That & my sisters & I went to high school with Kacie’s hubby. Fate for sure.
    Also laughing b/c my hubby’s scratchy feet tore a hole in some cheap sheets we had a couple years ago & I gave him such a hard time about it!

  57. Lisa Hathaway says

    AH! I’ve been on the lookout for new bedding and this looks like a winner. All of it, actually. Definitely will be checking out those sheets since we currently have five blankets plus flannel sheets on our bed. Not kidding.

  60. Rebecca says

    Thanks for the tips. Jayson is a human heater so I don’t know if I can get him to buy into the “warm” sheets. I may not give him a choice though! And I’d love to try the “perfect” pillow! THanks!

  66. The redhead says

    This is kismet. I was just thinking about how sucky my sleep quality is and I think it’s my pillow or my mattress. But matresses are expensive! So I’ll start with the pillow first.

  74. Ryanne says

    I would love to try the pillow or mattress protector! The reviews were great, I learned a lot. My email is: ryanneslocombe at gmail dot com. Thanks!

  80. Leslie says

    Yes! Yes! Yes! My husband and I are all things “sleep” fanatics – we would LOVE to try this pillow and see how it ranks with the other 15 on our bed : ) (I’m desperately in search of “the one” – PLEASE be you, pillow giveaway : 0)

  84. Danie says

    Oh how I would love to win this! My husband and I were just discussing how we are in serious need of new pillows. You would make not only my day, but his also if I won this. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  89. Janell says

    I’ve been looking for new sheets so this was the perfect post for me! And hopefully that pillow with be the perfect pillow for me 🙂

  98. Mindy says

    I LOVE my fleece sheets! They are the best! I love crawling into bed and feeling totally warm right away. I love the idea of the mattress protector too. My husband has chronic nose and lung problems and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if our bed was part of the problem. I’d love to win one! 🙂

  115. T says

    I’ve worn out my fair share of sheets with my rough heels… (can’t even blame it on ManOfTheHouse – it’s me…) thanks to a few months of some wonder-lotion I have great hope that I can finally put a decent set of sheets on the bed and keep them in good shape.

    The pillow has me drooling though… I love good pillows!!

  119. Lunachance says

    I have to laugh as I repaired a bottom sheet today – the cat used his claws to make a nice 4″ hole in the sheet and I was being too cheap to replace the sheet set… I also have to praise the mattress pad heater as one of the best inventions in the whole world 🙂

    Cheers to all and this generous give away,
    Lunachance

  120. Queen Bee says

    So, this is embarrassing, my husband hated the last sheets I bought so much that in the middle of the night he tore the sheets out from under himself and slept on the quilted mattress pad…I woke up with a “sheet hoodie”. I deserved it…I need to redeem myself. LOL

  126. Lalabowers says

    What’s up with husband’s who don’t want to change sheets, they sleep on them too. I definitely could use a new pillow. My current pillow has seen better days!

  127. lsmith says

    Every pillow I buy ends up sucking….I will be having a baby soon and could sooo use a new pillow to help my few hours of sleep be a little more comfortable!!

  128. Katie says

    Thanks for the tips on the sheets, I never know which ones to get. Now I need suggestions for silky summer ones! Great give-a-way too!

  133. Amy says

    I Need this pillow! I already ordered the sheets…so excited for them! I get headaches at night if I don’t have a great pillow, so here’s to hoping I win and it helps:D

  135. Megan says

    umm hello! YES PLEASE! amazing giveaway. *fingers crossed* I win! Im already thinking about the yumminess of my bed with them… sweet dreams here I come!

  142. Marianne says

    I just love your reviews. When I go to purchase, I always look for one of your reviews. Your research is always thorough and informative. I’ve never been disappointed with any purchase you suggested. Thanks for all the hard work.

  145. Karyn says

    I have fleece sheets too. LOVE them! I would love back and neck support in a pillow. Mine doesn’t have that. A new pillow and sheet protector would be much appreciated!

  150. Kassi Luck says

    I am a friend of the Malouf’s and I have to say, not just cause they are our friends, but there sheets, sheet protectors are the BEST. I havent had a chance to try out the pillows yet but I am sure they are the best too.

  151. Stephanie says

    I was just looking for sheets and mattress protector for my guest beds. Thanks for the info. . . and it would be awesome to win. You know if you ever want to take a trip back to BA, you could try them out!

  152. Kjersti and Mark Helberg says

    That pillow would be amazing!! 🙂 My husband got a nice pillow from his parents last year (memory foam) and I still have my old lame one i’ve had for years and years! If I won the pillow I could stop stealing his any chance I get 😉 haha

  153. Kate says

    Pick me pick me! If you knew about my husband’s night sweats you would surely take pity on me and just hand the dang thing over asap.

    Oh and Court has the sharpest deadliest toenails too. Stupid gross men.

  154. Lisa says

    Oh to have a good nights sleep after taking care of six kids and a wonderful husband would be a luxury to behold. This would be a great win!!

    Thanks for sharing!

  155. Anne says

    I really want this pillow…I’m sure my current pillow is the culprit behind the neckaches I’ve been getting lately!

  163. Momma On The Run says

    I had no clue about the dust mites and them leading to asthma and, eczema. Both of which my oldest son has. I will be looking into purchasing the mattress protector for sure if I don’t win. I’d love a new comfy pillow too! I am such a pillow snob :)Thank you for the giveaway!
