Brooklinen Classic Core Sheet Set vs Queen Comforter Set 7-Piece Bed in a Bag

Buy the Brooklinen Classic Core if you want cool, breathable cotton sheets that hold up wash after wash. Buy the 7-piece bed in a bag if you need to furnish a whole bed at once, with a comforter, shams and sheets in one box. The Brooklinen is the better sheet: long-staple cotton percale at 270 thread count sleeps cooler and lasts longer than microfiber. The bed in a bag wins on completeness and easy care, but its 1,000 thread count is a marketing figure, not a measure of quality.

• Choose the Brooklinen Classic Core if you sleep hot, want crisp cotton percale, and already own a comforter or duvet.
• Choose the 7-piece bed in a bag if you are setting up a bed from scratch and want a comforter, shams and sheets in one purchase.
