If you're giving your bedroom a makeover, some cheap bedding may come in handy. While you may be investing in a high-quality mattress or duvet, you don't have to break the bank when it comes to sheets and comforters.
As an interiors editor who spends hours browsing home buys every day, I can spot the best value for money when it comes to bedding. Considering everything from the size to the material, I found the best of the bunch.
See my top picks and the best bedding brands to pick up without going over budget.

This linen pick is perfect for if you're a clammy sleeper and the sage green is super calming as it's very breathable. While it costs a little more than other sets on this list, natural fibers are worth the investment. It's made with a blend of rayon (a regenerated cellulose fiber commonly made from wood) and linen (a natural bast fiber derived from flax plants). It's available in nine colors including sage green, pastel pink, and dusty blue.

This muted set adds dimension for those who prefer subdued color palettes in the bedroom, but seek a little oomph. It's Amazon's #1 bestseller in bedding duvet covers, with over 15,000 ratings. Eight corner ties inside the duvet cover ensure a secure fit to prevent your duvet insert from bunching. Shoppers love it for its comfort, appearance, easy-to-use zipper, and washability.
How we chose
While I haven't tested all of these bedding sets, there are many factors I looked for when selecting these picks. I browsed through hundreds of listings and chose the highest-rated bedding sets. I read reviews from genuine shoppers to see what they liked about each set. I also checked each listing for the following:
- Material: Bear in mind that everyone's body reacts differently to materials. While polyester is super affordable, you may wake up with sweats. Linen and bamboo are cooling, but prepare to pay a little more.
- Washability: You'll want to ensure you don't have to take your bedding to the laundromat to be professionally cleaned. Steer clear of silk bedding and opt for machine-washable cotton.
- The number of shams included: Even if you sleep solo, it's worth looking at whether the brand sells the pillowcases separately. I prioritized sets that included multiple shams.
