I’m the Strategist’s bedding expert, and I’ve slept on a lot of sheets over the years. A brand that has emerged as one of my favorites is Boll & Branch, which makes really nice high-quality sheets. When people ask me which sheets they should get, I often recommend products from Boll & Branch. My personal favorite is the brand’s vintage-washed sateen sheets, which have a lovely lived-in feel, and the signature sateen sheets are beloved by our managing editor, Kelsie Schrader, who bought another set earlier this year.
I recently tested the percale sheets, which I generally prefer for their crisper weave over sateen’s silkiness, and now it’s the only bedding I want to sleep in. Unlike other percale I’ve tried, Boll & Branch’s percale is thicker and more substantial. Percale is known for its breathable and lightweight construction compared to sateen, but it’s often a little too stiff and crisp and takes a few laundry cycles to soften up. Boll & Branch’s percale sheets are made with long-staple cotton and feel soft right out of the box, only getting better with every wash. They’re not crinkly as some percale, and they just feel like really nice, plain cotton sheets with a bit of structure but not too crisp. Today, the trimmed percale sheets — they have a contrasting edge with embroidery — are on sale, with an extra discount at checkout with the code EXTRA20, bringing the price down to $236 for a queen set.
