As resident Sleep Editor here at Homes & Gardens, I'm often asked about the best places to buy affordable bedding. If you can't afford to shop with a specialist sleep store, but you want something better than the bargain bin at your local home retailer, it can be difficult to know where to start.
That's where I come in. I spend my days searching for the lowest prices on the best bedding, and I spend my nights testing sheets, comforters, and pillows in my own bed. I know all the best places to buy bedding on a budget, but I'll never compromise quality for cost.
So, to save you time and money, I've ranked and reviewed the best places to buy affordable bedding, including Casaluna, the new line at Target, and RE/FINE, the latest bedding brand from Wayfair. I've even rounded up a few of my favorite products from each store.
Best places to buy affordable bedding 2025 & what to shop
When you're buying on a budget, the best bed sheets should be low-maintenance: machine-washable and dryer-safe. The best duvet insert might be filled with down for natural loft or down alternative to avoid activating allergies. The best pillow should be multipurpose to support front, back, and side sleepers.
1. Casaluna
Casaluna is a new bedding and bath brand that's exclusive to Target. In addition to your standard sheets, shams, comforters and quilts, you'll find some of the best throw pillows to add depth and dimension to your bedspread, along with essentials oils and diffusers to help you wind down at night.
Casaluna incorporates a program called Bed Planner, which works a lot like a personal shopper to recommend products and help to create a bespoke bed. You can start from scratch or choose from one of their pre-styled beds. All that's left to do is drag and drop bedding onto the base to watch your vision come to life.
Each fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcase is made from Supima cotton for breathability and durability, then woven into cotton percale for a clean, crisp finish. I'd recommend these sheets for hot sleepers on a budget.
If you suffer from a feather allergy, or you prefer to purchase vegan products, you need a down alternative pillow. This one from Casaluna is light and airy, perfect for plumping, and would form a beautiful base for your bedspread.
You could pick up this comforter and sham set in a wide range of warm neutrals, from rose pink to sage green, but I like it best in white. It's made from 100% cotton and finished with a chambray textured top to add interest.
2. RE/FINE
RE/FINE is a new home collection, exclusive to Wayfair, offering elevated bedding and bath essentials at a price that everyone can afford. The line only launched last month, but it already boasts thousands of five-star reviews. Happy customers compliment the quality of the craftmanship and the speed of shipping.
If you're keen to refresh your bedroom ideas, but you're not sure where to start, I recommend their 'Shop the Look' section. RE/FINE shows you an image of a hotel-quality room at home, then shows you where to buy each piece at the best price.
These sheets are made from silky-smooth cotton sateen and treated for wrinkle-resistant. They should withstand the wear and tear of nightly use and countless cycles in the washing machine.
These linen shams are pretty, rather than practical. They aren't designed for sleep, but for decoration. You could pair these pillows with your favorite coverlet or duvet as the finishing touch to your bedspread.
There's something so clean and contemporary about these bold, bright stripes. Streaks of cappuccino brown, charcoal gray, and midnight blue break up the blank canvas of the duvet cover and pillowcase to accent the edge of the bed.
3. Bedsure
You might have come across Bedsure on another site. Their Cooling Sheet Set is an Amazon best-seller and one of the top contenders for the title of best affordable bed sheets. Bedsure specializes in cooling products, which makes it one of the best places to buy affordable bedding for hot sleepers.
You could pair your cooling sheet set with their Arc-Chill Cooling Pillowcases, so that you always feel like you're sleeping on the fresh side of the bed. Bedsure bedding is already affordable, and it's regularly discounted for federal holiday discounts and site-specific bedding sales.
These sheets are made from bamboo, which is naturally moisture-wicking and antimicrobial to bust the bacteria that breeds in hot, damp environments, such as bedrooms. Each flat sheet, fitted sheet, and pillowcase is finished with a twill weave.
Bedsure isn't all about function over form. Their Boho Chic Comforter Set features delicate tufts of embroidery for touchable texture. You could shop the set in a range of shades, from rich caramel to oat milk.
The best silk pillowcases are thermoregulating for comfortable sleep, yet moisture-retaining to plump up your skin and condition your hair. The Bedsure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase ticks all my boxes, and it's only $25.
4. Macy's
If you know you need new bedding, but you'd like to take stock of your options, I recommend shopping at Macy's. You'll find some of the best designer bedding, from big names such as Lacoste Home and Ralph Lauren, listed for less.
Then, there are bedding and bath brands such as Hotel Collection and Charter Club, created for Macy's to sell premium bedding at accessible prices. There's also an option to shop for bedding by style: their coastal collection would blend beautifully with a cool bedroom color palette.
These silky-smooth sheets are designed to accommodate thicker mattresses. The fitted sheets feature deep pockets and enhanced elastic to stretch over mattresses up to 18 inches thick.
This hotel-quality comforter is surprisingly low-maintenance. Stuffed with polyester fiberfill and encased in pure cotton, the Hotel Collection Luxe Down Alternative Comforter is machine-washable and dryer-safe for quick and convenient cleaning.
This pillow comes in three firmness levels for custom comfort. The soft, squishy pillow should flatten out for stomach sleepers, while the firm pillow lends superior neck and shoulder support, while the medium pillow sits neatly in between.
5. Walmart
Walmart is a one-stop sleep shop. Across the site, you'll find tens of thousands of bedding items in every conceivable color and size. To make your life easier, Walmart breaks down their bedding collections into categories. If you're moving house or refurbishing a room, you could pick up a brand new bedding set.
Alternatively, you could shop for individual comforters, sheets, pillows, and throws. You'll also find a wide range of more functional items, from heated blankets for cold sleepers to the best mattress topper to transform the feel of your bed.
Made from rayon for resilience and microfiber for wrinkle-resistance, these sheets are strong and supple. They're easy to wash, quick to dry, and great at retaining color.
I love Tempur-Pedic pillows. They're soft, yet supportive, and suitable for front, back, and side sleepers. The only thing I don't like about Tempur is the price, which is why it's so good to see this premium pillow listed for less than $50.
If you'd like to bring a bit of pattern into the bedroom without overwhelming the space, I recommend a simple window-pane print. Those long lines elongate your bed so that it appears larger and more luxurious: it's a great way to make a small bedroom look bigger.
6. Amazon
A simple search for 'bedding' on Amazon yields more than 50,000 results. You'll find sheets, pillows, comforters, and quilts from Amazon brands and specialist sleep stores, as well as smaller stockists that are new to the bedding scene. If you're prepared to sift through the cheap stuff, you could find some real gems. Amazon stocks some of the world's most affordable bedding, and it's almost always on sale.
These sheets boast more than 250,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. They're wrinkle-resistant, fitted with deep pockets, and listed for less than $50, all year round.
Casper pillows can be expensive, so it's good to see this one listed for less on Amazon. This pillow is filled with silky polyester for responsive support and covered in 100% cotton for comfort and cleanliness.
Right now, the Utopia Bedding Comforter is Amazon's number-one best-seller in the duvet and comforter category. It's filled with down alternative to suit vegan shoppers and sensitive sleepers.
FAQs
How much should bed sheets cost?
We've written an entire article answering the question: 'how much should I spend on sheets?' If you don't have time to read the whole thing, here are the headlines.
You should expect to spend somewhere between $50 and $200 on a queen-sized sheet set, which typically contains a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases. The cost of a sheet set will vary from brand to brand and depends on the quality of the fabric, as well as the complexity of the manufacturing process.
Before you start to shop, I recommend you set a maximum and minimum amount you're prepared to spend. You might find deep discounts in the bedding sales, but I'd hesitate to spend less than $50 on a sheet set: much lower, and you're getting a good price on a poor product.
Which are the best affordable bed sheets?
For my money, the best affordable bed sheets are the Mellanni Sheet Set. This sheet set boasts more than 250,000 verified five-star reviews, and it's not hard to see why. Each flat sheet, fitted sheet, and pillowcase is made from microfiber and double-brushed for softness. The Mellanni Sheet Set is breathable to suit hot sleepers (they're the best cooling sheets on Amazon) and comes in 40 prints and patterns to complement any bedroom color palette: all that for less than $40.
You can buy as much affordable bedding as your heart desires and your budget allows, but it's really just window dressing for the main event: your mattress. While the best mattress might set you back a few thousand dollars, it is possible to upgrade your sleep for less. I recommend narrowing the search to the best affordable mattress from specialist sleep stores, such as Nectar and Emma.
