Cotton in particular is a go-to in my house: It’s super soft on the skin, making it a great choice for sheets in particular. (I swear my sleep has improved since switching over to cotton sheets!) I also appreciate that it comes in so many different forms. Lighter, more breathable percale cotton sheets are perfect for warmer summer months and can be swapped out for cozier cotton flannels come winter.
