Treat yourself to cooler nights with these dreamy summer sheets

Best for: Cooling statement sheets

If you’re searching for the perfect cotton percale sheets to add to cart, I’m nominating Sheridan’s Bayley Washed Percale Sheet Set, partially because I love a bundle (and this one covers all my bases with a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases), but also because of the airy, soft and extra breathable fabric used to create this vibrant summer set.

And despite sale season having been and gone, this luxurious set is still heavily discounted; shoppers can take this summer sleep essential home from just $125.99. And with an average rating of 4.6/5 stars, these sheets are ones you can trust. Just ask the five-star reviewer who described the set as Super soft, super comfy, beautiful, soft and lightweight covers,” before adding, “they wash really well too – minimal creasing so they look great straight on the bed. I bought a second colour as I was so happy with these.

Best for: Bedding that’s cool in more ways than one

When it comes to great bedding, we all know that Sheet Society is a true crowd favourite. Personally, I’m opting for their Jude Organic Cotton sheets or, alternatively, a Kane Bamboo set, for my own bedroom refresh (as I’m already well stocked with dreamy percale options), but I adore this striped set in a percale cotton weave.

As the title doesn’t explicitly say so, I want to confirm that, yes, this set is percale cotton. Occasionally, brands won’t state this in their product titles, instead opting for a simple ‘cotton’ classification. To check, head to the product description; they usually have the particular kind of weave stated there.

Sizes: Double, Queen, King, Super King

Colours: White, Warm White, Nutmeg, Pink Lotus, Mint, Bay Blue, Ink, Sunday Stripe (pictured), Watson Stripe, Darby Stripe

Materials: Stonewashed 100% cotton crafted in a percale weave

Key features:

• Gathered ruched detailing
• Soft matte look and feel
• Piping trim
• Invisible zip
• Deep fitted sheets

Best for: A complete and luxe sheet set under $100

If I didn’t already know and love Linen House, I might think their 2025 Boxing Day sale is too good to be true, especially since it’s still going strong well into 2026. Offering generous discounts off almost everything, savvy bedding shoppers can take home high-value sets (like the Winton Seagrass Sheet Set) for under $70; this is the kind of sale that really gets my attention.

Including 1x flat sheet, 1x fitted sheet, and 1-2 pillowcases (depending on the size you purchase), this bundle includes everything you need for a cooler, restful night, even in the Australian heat. Even better, it boasts an average rating of 4.8 stars, and many raving reviews such as this one:

“To climb between the Cotton Percale Sheets 3000TC is absolutely bliss. To feel such crispness and freshness induces sleep, relaxing the body to perfection. The colour Winton Mid Blue and quality are superb matching the pallet already in my bedroom décor.”

Sizes: Single, King Single, Double, Queen, King

• Cool and crisp feeling
• Beautiful colourway

Best for: Pattern lovers

When it comes to bedding upgrades, Adairs is one of the first retailers I turn to when embarking in search of high-quality bedding. And with generous discounts and additional savings for members of their Linen Lovers club, it’s definitely worth perusing their offerings (particuarly those in the clearance section) frequently.

This Fresh Navy Stripe Sheet Set sits as my top pick. Between the playful pattern and fresh fabric choice, it serves as the perfect summer set (and proves you don’t have to sacrifice ‘fun’ designs when opting for practical fabrics). And with extra sizing options available that cater to deeper mattresses, you’re bound to find your perfect fit. While the set only has one review, its been given 5-stars, with the happy customer describing them as “lovely, soft sheets. Really easy to put on the bed and wash up nicely. Highly recommend.”

Best for: Truly luxurious bedding

Boll and Branch is a new find for me, and I couldn’t be happier to be across their beautiful bedding. While their percale sheets aren’t the most affordable on the market, their high-quality linen is a great investment that’ll last for years and continue to soften with time.

This stunning Olivine and Etched Peony variant would effortlessly weave into any bedroom, and the visible quality has the potential to elevate an entire space. If you’re going to update your bedding this Black Friday, treat yourself to the premium option (especially when it doesn’t come with a premium price tag).

Materials: 100% organic cotton percale

Key features:

• 100% organic cotton
• Long staple cotton for the highest quality and durability
