1. Consumer Reports >> Details/Subscribe	Sheets: Wake-up Call Editors of Consumer Reports Aug. 2005		Consumer Reports is a consumer advocacy organization with a good reputation for independent testing and product reviews. Their report on bed sheets ranks 18 sheet sets according to how well they perform in tests for fit, softness, strength and shrinkage. Although the ratings haven't been updated recently, most products and specifications listed are still current enough to be useful.

2. Allergy Buyers Club.com	Sheet Sets, Linens – Comparisons, Best Ratings, Product Reviews Editors of Allergy Buyers Club As of Feb. 2008		Allergy Buyers Club is an online retailer that posts reviews and ratings for all the products it sells. Reviews here are fairly detailed and products are always current, but ratings are all high and editors are somewhat vague about exactly how sheets are tested. Because Allergy Buyers Club only includes information on products sold on the site, poor performers aren't discussed.
3. Linenplace.com	Ratings Editors of Linenplace.com As of Feb. 2008		Linenplace is another online retailer that rates and compares bed sheets. They only include what they sell, making objectivity an issue and ruling out poor reviews. On the other hand, Linenplace does include individual five-point ratings for softness, crispness, luster, weight and price, and these do vary considerably between sheets.
4. Amazon.com	Sheets and Pillowcases Contributors to Amazon.com As of Feb. 2008		Amazon.com is an online retailer that allows customers to post reviews of products based on their own experiences. The site has a good selection of bed sheets. While many bed sheets get only a handful of reviews, others have much more extensive feedback, making this a great place to get user's opinions about the sheets they've purchased and used.
5. Good Housekeeping.com >> Details/Subscribe	Luxury Sheets That Aren't Editors of Good Housekeeping Apr. 2006		Suspicious of high thread-count claims by several popular bedding manufacturers, the Good Housekeeping Institute had several bed sheets independently tested. According to this article, the results reveal that many retailers, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Linens ‘n Things and Wal-Mart, have been inflating their thread counts. Of the eight products tested, only the JCPenney Home Collection passed the tread count test.
6. Good Housekeeping.com >> Details/Subscribe	Shop for the Coziest Bedding Editors of Good Housekeeping Not Dated		Good Housekeeping's buyer's guide to bedding includes one recommendation in the bed sheet category: L.L. Bean's Warm Feelings Flannel. Although the article says editors performed over 300 hours of intense product testing on the most popular winter bedding, it's not clear how testing was performed or why the recommended sheets are chosen.

7. About.com	Top 6 Luxury Bedding Manufacturers Coral Nafie Not Dated		Coral Nafie, About.com's Guide to Interior Decorating, lists her top six picks for luxury bed linen manufacturers. While this review is useful in that it ranks brands and gives some general product information, there's no indication of what rating criteria are used or whether products are tested. (Note that ConsumerSearch is owned by the same parent company as About.com.)
8. Real Simple	The Best Sheets at Every Price Tara Donne Sept. 2006		Real Simple Magazine has a short article listing the nine best bed sheets in three thread-count categories. Features and advantages of each style are described, but there's no mention of negatives or what's behind the ratings.
9. Target.com	Sheets Contributors to Target.com As of Feb. 2008		Target is another retailer that lets users post reviews on its website. Posts in the bed sheet category tend to be somewhat lacking in detail, though, and many sheets have no user feedback at all. It is also harder to navigate than Amazon.com, as you need to go to each product page to see whether or not a particular product has been rated.
10. Ask MetaFilter	What are the best flannel sheets? Contributors to Ask MetaFilter As of Feb. 2008		Ask MetaFilter has a thread where users can recommend the best flannel sheets based on their experience. Posts are generally short and lacking in detail, but there are enough recommendations to make this thread worth a visit.
11. Apartment Therapy.com	Paintbrush Flannel from Garnet Hill Contributors to ApartmentTherapy.com As of Feb. 2008		Apartment Therapy has several short user reviews of Garnet Hill's bed sheets. Although user reviews are inherently subjective and sheets aren't tested or compared with other brands, this site does indicate that consumers are generally happy with Garnet Hill's sheets.
12. Choice.com.au	Test: Bed Sheets Editors of Choice.com.au May 2003		Choice is an Australian consumer advocacy organization similar to Consumer Reports in the United States. Most of the bed sheets reviewed here are sold primarily in Australia, though, limiting the report's usefulness for American shoppers. Choice conducts independent testing and gives detailed reasons for its ratings, but the fact that they haven't been updated recently also reduces their usefulness.

13. 3Luxe.com	Best of Bed Linens Review Editors of 3Luxe.com Not Dated		3Luxe is a review site that rates what editors consider to be the top three products in a range of categories. It's not clear how the products are tested and compared, however, and there's no discussion of negatives or poor performers. Visitors can also vote a thumbs-up or thumbs-down rating to each product, but relatively few votes were recorded at the time of our last visit.
14. ReviewCentre.com	Bed Linen Contributors to ReviewCentre.com As of Feb. 2008		Review Centre is a British community site where consumers can post reviews of a variety of products, including bed sheets. While there's no testing or comparative ranking with sites like these, they can be a useful source of information on how users feel products perform under everyday conditions. However, many of the products listed are not available in the U.S.
