If you sleep 8 hours per night, you're in lying in your bed 2,920 hours per year. If you're going to be in one place that long, you're going to need to dress it up. Luckily, there are a million resources for bedding out there. Maybe a few too many. We've rounded up 10 of our favorites to narrow it down a bit.
• The Company Store has been making bedding in La Crosse, Wisconsin since 1911. That's doesn't mean they're old fashioned though. The Wildwood Collection from their Lofthome series is thoroughly modern.
• Cuddledown is another American bedding manufacturer, though not quite as old. Cuddledown got its start creating down comforters at its factory in Maine in 1973 and they're still at it. Cuddledown has expanded from comforters to include all bedding and some sleepwear and bath products as well. Shown here: Cotton Percale Eria Orchid Bedding.
• Castle, from designer Rachel Castle, puts the emphasis on the borders. The crisp white sheets are given a pop of color on the top edge. The pop of fun continues with the vibrant pillow shams.
• Dwell Studio, as far as we're considered, is synonymous with cute prints. While the prints are often bold, prints like that on this Masala Citrine Sheet Set are more subdued.
• Jonathan Adler makes everything he touches look cute. So it's not surprise that his bedding, like this grey printed hollywood sheet set, is as adorable as the man himself.
• Lands' End may now be a part of Sears but little seems to have changed. They still make classic bedding, like this Danbury Dot Quilt and Sham, and they still offer an unconditional refund guarantee.
• Ann Selke's Pine Cone Hill is known for vibrant color, like this Cubix Sheet Set, but they do neutrals really well too.
• Target has done a great job of bringing stylish designs to the masses. From this DwellStudio for Target Orbit Comforter Set to the Room Essentials brand bedding, the pricing is reasonable and the styles are current.
• Williams Sonoma Home offers a fairly vast selection of bedding in a wide price range. Shown here is the Indigo Block Print Bedding, currently on sale.
• Frette is the name in luxury bedding, but we hear it's like sleeping in a cloud. The Dopio Purple Bedding Set from their Fantasy line retails for $995.

White Enamel Four-P...
Most of these are okay. My favorite is Bliss Living Home!
Love these suggestions- I also enjoy looking at Anthropologie's bedding, and have a beautiful quilt from them. Great for mixing and matching.
I have great luck at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Ross - lovely, high-quality brand-name bedding (DKNY, Calvin Klein and more) and very reasonably priced - typically $35-65 for quite nice department store sheets. The selection is catch as catch can, of course, but if you check on a regular basis, every now and then something amazing will show up - I got a great set of Italian, boutique-brand sheets with beautiful lace on them, normally $400, marked down to $68.
My favorite bedding is West Elm and the Thomas O'Brien line at Target. I just wait for West Elm's bedding to go on sale.
I like the printed percale and flannel at Garnet Hill - they hold up quite well and get nice and soft. They have good sales too.
Area bedding has been my favorite bedding.
DKNY bedding is a bit of a joke, IMHO.
I find the most amazingly beautiful 7 or 8 piece comforter sets at annaslinens.com for no more than $80 with tax and shipping included wit that price!!!
When I want to be nice to myself, I buy Matteo. They have occasional great sales.
I wouldn't mind seeing more posts about bedding! Maybe towels too. Very enjoyable.
Someone should move that really expensive luxury bedding inside. ;) I'm in need of some new bedding, so I'll check some of these stores out.
Second on the Garnet Hill...if I have money or they have an awesome sale. They're amazing.
I'm hooked on linen sheets. Does anyone know of an affordable source?
Garnet Hill is missing from your list! Their Eileen Fisher Washed Linen Bedding is THE BEST!
Macy*s "Style&Co" bedding is awesome. I would have put that on the list. It is gorgeous, feels amazing and holds up well.
if you live in the UK or Europe, check out Pip Studio bedding, I have two sets of this and its just beautiful (and great quality too with all the little finishing details). Just google "Pip Studio"...
All great companies, I own a cuddledown batiste comforter i paid $800 for it. Yes expensive but made in the usa doesnt come cheap and it's the best comforter in the world
pure bliss!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone point me towards bedding designed for men's bedrooms? Enough with the cute, colorful and bold. How about something sexy, modern and elegant for a change. Oh, and under $300. a set. Anybody?
Any suggestions for places that don't force you to buy a set, in the low-to-mid range? Why is it so hard to buy individual items these days? I can't use top sheets and I hate buying a "set" and then having the flat sheet sitting in a drawer.
Any advice on Linen sheets? I am so unhappy with the cotton I am using now ( I even have Frette sheets that are covered in rough pills!) I am tempted to invest the money in Linen.
Check out the LINEN at cuddledown, they all so have 100% guarantee. If unsatisfied money back! I have some and no pilling after a year ...
Sometimes I think some of the better suggestions come from the comments. I will definitely check out Garnet Hill and Anna's Linens. Thanks, ladies and germs!
If you are shopping on a budget then I've definitely had a lot of luck at TJ Maxx, you just need to be patient and ready to hunt. But if you have a bigger budget then of course West Elm is a great source. But I've recently discovered the brand Cuddledown, which even though I can't stand the name it kind of weirds me out, I've found that they have really great quality products that have a focus on healthy sleeping. When it comes to bright and fun colors though, Target wins hands down. They have a great yellow comforter that will brighten up your room exponentially: http://home-and-garden.become.com/room-essentials-geo-comforter-yellow-queen--compare-prices--sc1510184725
