Secure these breezy spring sheets – before hot weather hits

Best for: striped sheets that work for most seasons

I recently brought home a new bedding set from Hommey, including their 100% organic cotton sheets in the new chamomile colourway, and I think my bedroom has never looked prettier. While it isn’t easy to choose from their trend-driven range of 21 colours and patterns, a quick peruse of the Hommey Instagram account can show you what most colourways look like in real bedrooms, and help you make a better decision about which style is right for yours.

In terms of feel, the fabrication is buttery soft, but as these sheets have a thread count of 300, they are on the cooler side (which is great for spring and autumn, but may need to be paired with a heavyweight over winter).

Best for: temperature regulation

Those who sweat in their sleep should take these cooling sheets straight to cart, particularly as we ease into warmer weather; after all, bamboo is one of the best fabrics a hot sleeper could choose. Not only are these sheets breathable and moisture-wicking, but owing to their sateen weave, they have a beautiful sheen that effortlessly elevates the bedroom.

Better yet, this particular set from Ettitude is made from 100% organic bamboo, free from all the harmful chemicals you may find in cheaper bamboo sets.

Best for: soft, breathable floral sheets

If you’re a fan of florals, turn to KOO’s new nature-inspired collection, Garden Sanctuary, for all the spring bedroom staples you could possibly need. This floral washed cotton sheet set, adorned with fine stripes and dainty flowers, is a personal favourite; since I first happened upon the set, I’ve been imagining just how lovely it would look poking out from underneath a pale blue quilt cover.

Those who prioritise texture over aesthetics will be equally happy with the Elodie sheets, as the washed cotton fabrication gives the set an ultra-soft feel without trapping too much heat. And at just $49 for members of KOO’s free-to-join membership program, it’s a set that won’t break the bank.

Best for: hot weather

When the warmest summer days arrive, Bed Threads’ French linen sheets become a non-negotiable in my household. They’re airy, light, and soft, and always make my bed look polished, even when they crease (as all linen sheets do).

These luxurious sheets are my top recommendation for hot sleepers, as they’re incredibly breathable and don’t seem to hold on to sweat. And while you wouldn’t find me snoozing between these sheets on colder nights, they’re perfect for spring, summer, and autumn; after all, you can always get out a heavier quilt or add a throw if needed.

Best for: crease-free cooling sheets

Cotton percale is one of, if not the most, popular sheet fabrics for Australia’s warmer months. Unlike linen (another popular cooling fabric), it doesn’t crease; due to the loose percale weave, it maintains a breathable quality and smooth, polished look. And with Linen House’s Vienna Percale Sheet Set, taking home that comfortable, airy sensation is easy.

Available in a wide range of versatile colours, homemakers should consider this set a staple for their summer bedding lineup. Expect it to help regulate your temperature, feel crisp and light to the touch, and make your bed look like a million bucks.

Best for: a huge range of colours and patterns

Aussie-owned brand, Sleep Society, has earned quite a reputation for their plush, silky sateen sheets, with customer reviews regularly praising their “soft and luxurious” feel. One reviewer states that their Eden Cotton sheet set “has that smooth and almost shiny look that I feel like I have been searching for all my life,” before adding, “Doesn’t crinkle and washes oh so well.”

Aside from a very highly-rated texture, Sheet Society’s Eden Cotton also comes in a massive range of colours and patterns, making it perfect for homemakers after very specific shades. My current design (though this seems to change every time a new collection drops) is the Alex Stripe, as pictured above.

Sheets aren’t just an investment in a monetary sense; they require an investment of your time and effort too (if you want to get that worn-in, ultra-soft feeling, that is). These Bayley sheets cut down the latter by delivering you a summer-ready percale set that’s pre-washed for premium comfort from the moment you bring them home.

Better yet, the range is available in a range of timeless colourways and patterns so they can keep you sleeping comfortably for years to come. And if you’re still not sold, just look at how good they look when they’ve been styled!

Best for: skin and hair health

While I don’t recommend these 100% pure silk sheets with a 22 momme density, for anyone on a budget, their premium fabrication is great for anyone concerned with hair and skin health. Compared to other fabrics, like cotton or linen, the fibres of silk bedding are incredibly smooth and naturally rich in protein, which prevents the bedding from snagging loose hairs or leaving you with sleep lines.

So, if you do happen to have $750 lying around (I can’t believe I just typed that out) and struggle with breakouts, frizzy hair, or split ends, these LILYSILK sheets are definitely worth considering.

Best for: eco-conscious shoppers

These 100% hemp linen sheets by Eva are very similar to flax linen in feel, but eight times stronger; in short, they’re built to last. And given that hemp plants produce more fibre than flax, they don’t just reduce the constant need to replace worn-out bedding; they’re also made from a more sustainable source.

One repeat customer states, “I purchased a set of these hemp linen sheets three years ago, and have been super happy with them. They are very durable, extremely comfortable, and I feel great about supporting the hemp fabric industry.”

With a price tag of $300, this sheet set may not be suitable for those on a tight budget, and the fibre does result in a slightly cooler feel (if you run cold, beware). However, for eco-advocates, I see them as an investment piece, especially given how long they last.
