Some people sleep with a fan running year-round. Others can’t get comfortable without an extra blanket (or three). And while some of us love the crisp feel of freshly laundered sheets, some sleepers crave bedding that’s as soft and silky as possible. When it comes to a good night’s rest, personal preference matters—and the sheets you choose should reflect yours.
But with so many materials, textures, and finishes available, shopping for sheets can feel more complicated than it needs to be. The easiest place to start? Think about how you sleep. Whether you’re always too warm, crave a little extra coziness, or simply want your bed to feel more luxurious, there’s a sheet set to match.
Here are six common sleep styles and the California Design Den sheets that suit each one.

If you’re particular about what touches your skin, organic cotton is a great place to start. California Design Den offers two options depending on your texture preferences: percale and sateen.

For Cold Sleepers

The result is a warm, inviting texture that makes climbing into bed on a chilly night even more appealing.
