A rating of the very best sleeps: that feeling when you wake up and realize you don’t have to get up for another two hours; the afternoon vacation nap, post beach day and pre fancy dinner; the lazing in bed on a long weekend Monday with no alarm… But the best sleep, the one that surpasses all others, is the cold winter night / tons of blankets and pillows on the bed sleep. The air is comfortably crisp—light-years away from those sticky summer nights—and the plush bedding creates a soothing cocoon. It’s like being at a cozy cottage. Those are the nights.

To help you get a nice deep slumber—and save on your heating bill—we sourced the absolute best bed sheets for winter.

Best cashmere sheets

The cost: $362 for a queen set

The fabric: Cotton and Himalayan cashmere

The colourways: Cream, amethyst, fog and charcoal

The gist: It’s like being wrapped in an expensive sweater. These heathered cashmere sheets are ideal for sleepers who run hot but still want a little something extra in the winter: way more breathable than flannel, but so much cozier than plain cotton. Savvy features include “short” and “long” labels on the fitted sheet, so you always get it right the first time, and envelope closures on the pillowcases to prevent unsightly spillages.

Best flannel sheets

The cost: $195 for a queen set

The fabric: Brushed cotton flannel

The colourways: Nine solids including classic white and country chic options like sage and periwinkle. They’re also available in a check

The gist: It doesn’t get more cottage core than a set of flannel sheets from L.L.Bean (might we suggest a matching flannel nightgown?). The top-rated pick is consistently lauded for its unmatched comfort and premium quality. That’s because it took more than two years and 75 testers to get them just right. They’re specially designed to resist pilling and get softer with every wash.
