It’s OK to do patterned sheets—just steer clear of your college team’s logo.

We also dig the well-considered details like discreetly labeled “short” and “long” sides—a big time-saver when it comes to making the bed.

If sheets are soft right out of the packaging you can thank chemicals—most brands use them to mellow the cotton.

Instead of building a Jenga tower of crappy pillows for support, opt for just one. But make it the Saatva, which combines structure and firmness, using a core of shredded latex and an outer layer of downlike microdenier cotton stuffing.
