Pottery Barn Sheets Review Breakdown

Pottery Barn offers a wide array of bedding, and most people are likely to find something that meets their needs and preferences among the company’s most popular sheet sets. However, choosing the right bedding requires understanding the benefits and drawbacks of each sheet set’s materials and design.

People who sleep warm, for example, may prefer the lightweight breathability of the Organic Percale Sheet Set. Sleepers in search of durable bedding may also be interested in the Belgian Flax Linen Sheet Set, while those on a budget are more likely to choose the Essential Sateen Sheet Set.

Each of Pottery Barn’s bedding sets has its own potential benefits and drawbacks, in addition to differing price points, available sizes, and color options. This can make the buying process more confusing, so understanding your own needs will help narrow down your choices.

Materials and Construction

A sheet set’s performance and feel are due to its materials and construction, making this category one of the most important considerations when choosing bedding. Pottery Barn’s top sheet sets span various materials and designs.

Organic Percale: This sheet set is made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, an exceptionally breathable material that offers excellent temperature neutrality. This quality is emphasized by the percale weave, which is a crisp and lightweight style popular among people who sleep hot. While thread count isn’t the most important factor when choosing sheets, this set’s 400 thread count offers a smooth feel that should resist pilling and get softer over time.

Belgian Flax Linen: Like cotton, linen is a natural fabric that tends to sleep cool due to its breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities. These lightly textured sheets are made from high-quality flax grown in Belgium, giving them a crisp feel that will soften over time. Linen is a very durable fabric with natural anti-pilling qualities. Bedding made from flax is also hypoallergenic.

Tencel: This sheet set is made entirely from Tencel lyocell in a sateen weave, giving the fabric a soft feel. Tencel tends to be breathable and moisture-wicking, making it a good option for those prone to sweating overnight. Lyocell’s silk-like drape helps minimize wrinkles, but it lacks the crisp feeling that some sleepers want from a set of sheets.

Essential Sateen: Cotton sheets with a sateen weave have a silky texture and a slight sheen that many sleepers find comfortable and attractive. While warmer than cotton sheets with a percale weave, this set should still sleep relatively cool thanks to cotton’s breathability. The set has a thread count of 300, but the sateen weave and the use of high-quality cotton make this set softer to the touch than some competitors with higher thread counts.

Prices and Sizing

Pottery Barn’s sheet sets can vary significantly in price depending on the construction and materials. Cotton and cotton-blend sets cost less, while those made from Tencel lyocell or linen have higher price-points. Although there are less expensive sheet sets on the market, Pottery Barn’s prices are in line with competitors offering sheets of similar quality.

Different Pottery Barn sheet sets come in different sizes. Shoppers with twin or twin XL beds have fewer options to choose from than those with larger mattresses. All of the company’s sets come with a fitted sheet and a flat sheet, and most sets come with two pillowcases. The only exceptions are twin/twin XL sizes, which come with one pillowcase.

Monogramming is available for an additional fee for the Organic Percale Sheet Set, the Belgian Flax Linen Sheet Set, and the Essential Sateen Sheet Set.

Color, Design, and Pattern Options

The design options for Pottery Barn’s sheet sets differ substantially. Some of the sheet sets can be personalized with a name or monogram for an additional fee, but availability depends on the sheet set and color option selected. Depending on your style, this may impact which sheet set is right for you.

Care and Cleaning

The Pottery Barn sheet sets we’ve highlighted can be machine washed and dried. However, the full directions — including temperature settings and stain care — differ between sets. All sheets should be washed before their first use, and regularly washing your bedding enhances the hygiene of your sleep surface.

• Organic Percale: Machine wash in warm water and tumble dry on medium heat. Remove sheets from the machine as soon as they are dry to prevent wrinkles.
• Belgian Flax Linen: Machine wash on the gentle cycle using warm water. Tumble dry on low heat and remove the sheets promptly to avoid excessive wrinkling.
• Tencel: Wash these sheets with cold water on the gentle cycle. They should be tumble dried on low and should not be left in the machine once dry.
• Essential Sateen: These sheets can be washed in a machine with cold water using the gentle cycle. Tumble dry and remove from the machine once dry to prevent excessive wrinkling.
