The article discusses the charm of striped sheets, emphasizing their ability to evoke cozy bedroom scenarios like coastal retreats or countryside breakfasts. It outlines the various types of stripes, from narrow ticking to wide block designs, and highlights key qualities for the ideal striped sheets, including softness, durability, and breathability. The author shares recommendations for standout products, such as the Petite Plume French ticking sheets that are praised for their temperature-regulating properties and wrinkle resistance, along with an affordable selection from Quince that appeals to diverse aesthetic preferences.
Commerce writer Julia Harrison has, adores, and lives in the Petite Plume French ticking sheets. "They're crisp, cool, and the most elevated part of my room," Harrison says. Since they're 100% cotton percale, these help with temperature regulation and breathability. The French ticking stripe in navy blue gives it an heirloom touch that doesn't always translate with the modern stripe patterns. While not advertised as wrinkle-resistant, they happen to ward off pesky wrinkles. Harrison reports, "They look just like new when you take them out of the dryer."
Linen lovers are in luck with this affordable pencil-striped set from Quince. (It also comes in wider stripes and pinstripes in neutral tones.) If you can't decide if you want your sheets to be more rustic or modern, these are a safe pick. Contributor Erika Owen says these sheets "always seem to be cool, which is a feat in our apartment, where the temperature varies wildly. I loved the lived-in, wrinkled look they give off."
