I test and write about sleep products for a living, and my favorite brand, by far, is Brooklinen. Brooklinen sheets are featured in our best sheets guide, the down pillow takes a spot in our best pillow guide, and the all-season comforter is our favorite comforter of all time. Its towels even earned the "softest" superlative in our best towels guide. The Reviews team agrees: Brooklinen makes some great bedding and bath products.
I asked our team to share their favorite items from Brooklinen, from silky sheets and fluffy comforters to plush bath towels and delightful home fragrances. We've tested — and loved — each item on this list, so read on to learn more about our favorites.
Our top 3 Brooklinen essentials
This down comforter comes in three different sizes and weights, so it's a warm fit for anyone.
Brooklinen's Luxe Sateen Core Sheet set is designed with an incredibly smooth feel that gets softer over time. Its tight weave is silky, soft, and versatile for year-round use.
The medium Brooklinen Down Pillow is available in multiple firmness options to suit various sleeping positions. It feels as good as pillows double its price.
More on Brooklinen
Founded in 2014, Brooklinen makes bedding staples like sheets and pillows, along with home and bath products like candles and towels. It's probably best known for its sheet sets, with options from classic cotton to luxurious cashmere. The color palette span quite neutral, but Brooklinen introduces seasonal colors and prints throughout the year, and occasionally partners with artists and other brands.
Most Brooklinen products have a 365-day guarantee, so you can try out an item and send it back if it isn't for you. The yearlong trial period is generous, especially considering that washed and used items can be returned for a full refund, minus a $9.95 return fee. Brooklinen's core products, like their sheets, quilts, and towels, all also have an additional yearlong warranty for defective items after the initial 365-day trial period.
All-Season Down Comforter
"Senior home editor Jaclyn Turner has enjoyed her Brooklinen Down Comforter for five years, and I recently got to test the redesign. I'm happy to report that it still has the same premium feel with a few upgrades to make making the bed a little bit easier. The comforter has a baffle-box construction, which keeps the down filling evenly distributed. It's the fluffiest comforter I've ever tested, with a luxurious feel that feels substantial yet not stifling. The new formulation is a little larger than the previous iteration and includes more duvet loops, so it fits very well in a duvet, with no drooping, empty corners, or annoying shifting. It's still the best comforter, without a doubt." — Kinsley Searles, associate home editor
Down Pillow
"Brooklinen recently revamped all of its down and down alternative products — including its Down Pillow, my favorite pillow of all time. The soft versions have been reformulated to feel even softer, and the design got an aesthetic upgrade with a lowercase "b" embroidered in the corner. I thought I was a down pillow hater before trying Brooklinen's version — I was annoyed at daily fluffing and inadequate support — but Brooklinen's pillow doesn't have those issues. Even the softest density is incredibly supportive, molding to my body and cradling my head and neck all night long, whether I'm sleeping on my stomach or side. I slept with the old formulation and the new formulation side by side, and was pleased to find that the new pillow requires even less fluffing than the original version — I usually only have to lightly fluff it every few nights. Now, I'm a lover of all things down pillows. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite piece of bedding, so I definitely recommend checking it out if you're on the hunt for the best pillow ever." — Kinsley Searles, associate home editor

Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set
"I've tested my fair share of the best sheets, but the pair I constantly rotate back in are my Luxe Sateen sheets. They are so comfortable year-round and undoubtedly the softest cotton sheets I've found — smooth like butter, if we're waxing poems. I've never felt overheated with them either. My set has held up remarkably well over the last five years, with no signs of discoloration, pilling, or shrinkage. All of Brooklinen's sheets are also available as duvet covers and in various bundles to outfit your bed as you please."— Jaclyn Turner, senior home editor

Breezeweave Cotton quilt
"I'm an incredibly hot sleeper and I prefer a quilt over a duvet or comforter as my primary blanket. Brooklinen's Breezeweave Cotton Quilt (formerly AirWeave) is truly heavenly. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it, but it's so lightweight that it kind of floats on top of you instead of pressing down like heftier comforters do. It's so breezy, gauzy, and cool, yet cozy and soft. It's so comfy that three different guests have inquired about where they can get one — which to me is the ultimate compliment. My one complaint is that it's not super pet-friendly; it's snagged a bunch from my cat's claws getting stuck on the gauzy surface."—Lauren Savoie, former deputy executive editor
"Like Lauren, I am also obsessed with this cotton quilt. It's the ideal transitional weight into spring and summer without feeling too thin; I love a plush bedspread and am sometimes reserved about trading my fluffy duvet for a quilt. (If you don't want to trade your comforter for a quilt, the BreezWeave Cotton fabric is also available as a duvet set and it includes the shams) This one is the perfect heft. The gauzy fabric feels nice to the touch and is absolutely beautiful, but it is on the delicate side. My dog loves to paw at the bed, which unfortunately has caused the material to snag. Keep that in mind if you hope to let your furbabies in the bed."—Jaclyn Turner, senior home editor
Luxe Sateen Duvet Set
"Just like the sateen sheets, Brooklinen's Luxe Sateen Duvet Set is silky, comfortable, and durable. I love its thick, soft texture, and its my favorite option for holding my comforter. It has a plethora of ties inside, and it closes with a line of clear buttons to keep the duvet in line through all my tossing and turning. It's also survived my cat's nighttime zoomies and my dog's digging, with nary a loose thread in sight. I love pairing it with my sateen sheets for a cohesive, comfortable feel. " — Kinsley Searles, associate home editor
Down Alternative Pillow
"In addition to the down pillow and comforter, Brooklinen's Down Alternative Pillow has been reformulated, too. It's now stuffed with recycled microgel polyester fill that mimics the feel of real down. When comparing the down and down alternative pillows side by side, I could tell a slight difference in the feel — the down alternative feels denser and less fluffy than real down — but it's still incredibly plush and comfortable. Its fill and sateen shell is breathable and airy, too, and I found it ran quite a bit cooler than the standard down pillow." — Kinsley Searles, associate home editor
Classic Percale Core Sheet Set
"I've never been one to want to spend too much on bedding, but Brooklinen's sheets make it feel worth it. For years now, I've slept on Brooklinen's Classic Percale Sheets, and they are so cozy that I own two sets, one in Pebble and one in Cream (I love the range of colors and patterns offered). When I wash these sheets, they get that perfect crispy feeling all over again — it basically feels like I have brand new sheets every time I wash and swap them out. Pro tip: Brooklinen often does sales between 20% to 50% on holidays like Memorial Day or Labor Day, as well as shopping events like Cyber Week and Sleep Week. It's a great deal if you can buy then, as I've benefited from massive savings on luxurious Brooklinen sheets over the last few years."— Will Fischer, former senior content strategist
"I'm a fan of crisp cotton sheets, especially in the spring and summer. Brooklinen's percale sheets are my go-to when I need cool-to-the-touch bedding. They're excellent at wicking away moisture, so I don't have to worry about sweating throughout the night. I also love how Brooklinen is always releasing limited edition colors and patterns. My percale sheets are in a lovely light green plaid color that looks like springtime. If you're a hot sleeper and like a nice crisp sheet, Brooklinen's percale sheets are some of the best you can buy." —Kinsley Searles, associate editor
European Washed Linen Sheets
"Brooklinen's Washed European Linen Sheets are definitely a splurge, but they're worth it if you dream of airy bedding that's as soft as it is strong. They turned this cotton-loving skeptic into a linen convert, and stopped my husband from sweating through his sleep. Brooklinen recently relaunched its washed linen bedding with a higher GSM for increased durability, and I still stand by that these are the best linen sheets I've tried. They're so soft and temperature-regulating." — Shannon Ullman, freelance writer

Washed Classic Percale Sheets
"As a lover of percale sheets, I was ecstatic to try Brooklinen's Washed Classic Percale Sheets, which launched at the end of last summer. Brooklinen boasts that the set is softer than traditional percale while still being crisp and cooling — and I agree. The texture is somewhere between a percale and sateen sheet, with a feel of a well-worn button down shirt that's been washed time and time again (so, the washed name definitely makes sense). Even so, I never overheat while sleeping on these sheets. I also appreciate the relaxed look and range of neutral, muted colors." — Kinsley Searles, associate editor
Heathered Cashmere Sheets
"Brooklinen's Heathered Cashmere Sheets feel akin to your favorite lived-in sweater. They're a blend of cotton and cashmere, so they're still breathable and machine washable. It's like the best flannel sheets, but upgraded. On cold winter nights, I love snuggling with these sheets on my bed. They're irresistibly soft. My biggest con is that these fuzzy sheets produce a lot of lint in the dryer, but other than that, they've held up remarkably well."— Jaclyn Turner, senior home editor
Mulberry Silk Pillowcase
"I have wavy-curly hair and acne, and Brooklinen's Mulberry Silk Pillowcase helps reduce bedhead and irritated skin in the morning. Silk pillowcases do wonders for your hair and skin, since they reduce friction between you and your pillowcase. It's not as soft as other silk pillowcases that I've tried, but it's still a good option if you're looking to maximize your beauty sleep."— Kinsley Searles, associate editor
Mulberry Silk Eyemask
"A sleep mask is one of my favorite little luxuries, and the mulberry silk eye mask from Brooklinen is one of the best. Not only does it feel smooth against my skin, but it is also excellent at blocking light, even when I'm on a road trip in broad daylight. I have a big head, so it's a little tight around my eyes, but that's my only complaint with this eye mask."—Kinsley Searles, associate editor
Super Plush Bath Towels
"The Super-Plush towels are absolutely the plushest, coziest towels I've come across and stay fluffy wash after wash. They're made of Turkish Cotton and weigh 820 GSM, which is pretty luxurious among the best towels. I have the bath sheet, and it's generously sized to wrap around my body after a shower. Due to their size, though, they are hefty and pretty water-absorbent, so they require extra cycles in the dryer to get them fully dry."— Jaclyn Turner, senior home editor
Waffle Bath Towel
"Compared to Brooklinen's other towels, the waffle bath towels are incredibly lightweight, yet still absorbent. Yes, plush towels are nice, but I appreciate the lightweight feel of them during the warmer months of the year. Their weight makes them easy to store when not in use, and they dry much quicker than other towels in the dryer."—Amir Ismael, style editor
Candles
"Imagine my delight when Brooklinen added home fragrance to round out its product assortment. Available as candles, reed diffusers, and room sprays, the scents are divided into energizing or relaxing blends, for whatever mood you are trying to set. You can sample a bunch in a votive set or commit to a full-size 8-ounce candle. I gravitate toward the woodsy Gather, with top notes of cedar, amber, and vetiver, or the floral and sweet Love Notes with notes of freesia, rose, and caramel."— Jaclyn Turner, senior home editor
