Printed cotton percale sheets with Eddie Bauer designs
If you're not into solid color sheets and want something that makes more of a statement, this set from Wayfair comes in a whopping 26 patterns, with plaid, florals, and animal designs galore. The best part, however, is that reviewers have lauded how cool and lightweight these sheets are, making them ideal for the summer heat. They're available in sizes twin through king.
Promising review: "These sheets are really great. We tend to sleep warm, these sheets are cool and crisp! The material is high quality and has stood up to washes really well. We have a purple mattress and deep pocket sheets tend to wrinkle and not stay put. We have not had any issues with it wrinkling or not staying on the bed. I am not a huge fan of the designs, I am not an outdoorsman or a fan of sports, but the grey is a neutral and the boats look more like a stripe pattern. I am really impressed with the quality I will be purchasing more." — Johanna

Promising review: "For best comfort of a very warm-blooded sleeper, I wanted lightweight, 100% cotton, low-thread-count (144 TPI) sheets, and that's just what these are. Finishing work on the sheets is good quality (no loose threads, neat seams and hems), good fit on the bed. They line-dry (always my preference but not always possible) practically wrinkle-free and come out of the dryer with only minimal wrinkling. Very comfortable and soft." — Toni Gould

You can buy these sheets in 10 colors and six sizes, from twin to California king.
Promising review: "I’ve purchased these sheets 5x now. Not only have I purchased them for myself, I’ve purchased them as gifts. Because nothing says “I love you” more than a nice set of sheets. I think that’s how the saying goes.
They really are the best. They’re fantastic quality, soft, comfortable to sleep on, lightweight yet cooling, and have held up over time. They have never balled up, they hold up well in the wash, and they haven’t thinned out. My warm-blooded partner doesn’t sweat during the night with these!
My favorite feature is absolutely the pockets. They’re perfect for holding your phone, your tv remote, chapstick, water bottle, and other misc. items.
The color options are great, and you really can’t beat the price. If you’re on the fence, buy these sheets! You will not regret it." — HCO
