The Best Striped Sheets for Every Bedding Personality

"Our staff tests a lot of sheets, so we know just what materials to look for, and which retailers are churning out the good stuff. The best striped sheets should be crisp but also comfy, machine washable, durable, and breathable. Below are all the striped bed sheets we can't resist: white stripes, blue stripes, ticking stripes, thick stripes-you get the picture. And if you've found your sheets and are in the market for a duvet cover, we have a guide on that too."

"Linen lovers are in luck with this affordable pencil-striped set from Quince. (It also comes in wider stripes and pinstripes in neutral tones.) Contributor Erika Owen says these sheets "always seem to be cool, which is a feat in our apartment, where the temperature varies wildly. I loved the lived-in, wrinkled look they pick up after a sleep or two. The sheets also feel like they'll hold up for years to come.""

Striped sheets evoke varied settings—coastal Cape Cod, Parisian pied-à-terre, or English countryside breakfast-in-bed—with design flexibility across narrow ticking, pinstripes, and wide block stripes. The right striped set can transform bedroom aesthetics and pairs well with floral and gingham patterns. High-quality striped sheets combine crispness with comfort while remaining machine-washable, durable, and breathable. Testing and product selection prioritize materials and reliable retailers to identify standout options. Recommended picks include Quince European Linen for neutral pencil stripes, Brooklinen Percale for colorways, and Brooklinen Linen Core for linen sets, each balancing coolness, lived-in texture, and longevity.
