13 Best Warm Winter Sheets of 2022 — Cozy Sheet Sets for Cold Weather

The material

With the many types of sheet options out there—from percale and flannel to silk, bamboo, and sooo much more—it can feel a little overwhelming trying to figure out kind of fabric is the most suitable for you. One way to narrow down the options is to consider the type of sleeping environment you’d like to create. For example, if you want your bed to be super warm this winter, look for sheets made from fibers that retain heat, so anything made from cotton, fleece, wool, cashmere, and even silk would be ideal.

The thread count

First things first: A sheet set’s thread count isn’t the end-all-be-all or only tell-tale sign of its quality (there are a lot of other factors to consider, like how it’s weaved and the type of fibers used). However, when it comes to shopping for extra cozy winter sheets, paying attention to the thread count could let you know if the sheets are actually warm enough for your needs. Because, typically, the higher the thread count, the heavier—and, therefore, warmer—the sheets are. This is because if there are more threads of yarn per square inch, then the fabric is denser, meaning there’s less air flow (and less of a chance to feel a cold draft in the middle of the night). So if you’re after something warm, any sheet set with a thread count of 250 or higher would be a good option. And for my peeps who like their bed extra toasty, look for sheets with a thread count of 400 or higher, as these sheets will be extra dense and have a bit of weight to them that’ll feel especially cozy.
