Best Cloud-Like Bedding For Comfortable Sleep

Natalie Rebuck, principal designer at Re: Design Architects, loves the Beckham Hotel Collection pillows. “They are very fluffy and really hold up over the years,” she previously told HuffPost. These cooling pillows are meant to accommodate all kinds of sleepers, whether you prefer catching zzz’s on your back, stomach or side. They’re available in queen or king sizing.

Promising review: “Hands down the most comfortable pillows straight out of the bag, none of that starchy stiff super thick feel that most brand new pillows have. I needed to replace my old pillows, so on a whim I grabbed a couple of “side/stomache sleeper” pillows from Target for $25 each. What a waste, as soon as I put my head down I was so disappointed. Luckily I remembered I got these pillows previously on Amazon and loved them, and quickly made the purchase. SO MUCH BETTER! These are super soft like clouds, but still provide great support. I sleep in all positions, usually stomach and sides but since becoming pregnant and subsequently nursing I’m sleeping more on my back and sides now; this is my second set of these pillows and they’ve worked for every style of sleep I’ve gone through. Not like it matters because they’re always in pillowcases, but they look very luxe with the satiny stripes. Zero smell out of the bag (I still let them sit and plump up for a couple of hours before use), and I’m just so happy I found these again. I can’t recommend these pillows enough, if you’re particular about a good soft pillow like you’d get at a nice hotel.” — Tessa

You may already know and love Brooklinen’s sheets and towels, but let us proudly introduce you to the brand’s pillows — which are newly available on Amazon. This option is made from 100% Hutterite down clusters and feathers and comes in plus, mid-plush and firm options for those who sleep in a variety of ways.

Promising review: “Get this pillow. You won’t be disappointed. The quality is obvious. You can feel the weight of the pillow and the comfortable cloudlike feel when you press on it. The pillow is not mushy and offers the perfect support for your head. We have had this pillow for a few months now and it’s like new. Same great support, no “pillow smell” at all. It helps for a good night’s sleep” — Dawn V

Don’t be intimidated by the shape — this contoured pillow is incredibly inviting for all types of sleepers. You can turn and sleep on it both ways, meaning the wider or more narrow side can be under your shoulder, depending on how you sleep and what feels right for you.

Promising review: “I fell in love with this pillow the moment I laid my head on it. I use a C-Pap with the hose and the way the pillow is designed, I am able to lay sideways comfortable. The pillow feels like I am on a cloud when I lay on it.” — Cynthia McDade

This set of four pillows from Downlite will transport you to a 5-star vacation every night. In fact, the company website says that they supply bedding and pillows to hotels around the world. This set of four soft/medium-density pillows is made with hypoallergenic polyester stuffing and covered in crisp and breathable 230-thread-count cambric cotton that gives you that hotel-like feel, night after night.

Promising review: “I bought these so everyone in the house could replace their old pillows, and they all love them. My daughter said it was like sleeping on a cloud.” — Candace

Silk pillowcases don’t just look fancy; there are actual beauty benefits to them. Since they’re less porous than cotton, they help hair retain moisture and natural oils. They also don’t leave creases on the skin the way other fabrics can, which may reduce wrinkles. Choose from a wide range of colors and sizes that include standard, queen, king, and one elongated size designed for a body pillow.

Promising review: “This pillowcase is a total game-changer! Seriously, it’s like sleeping on a cloud. The fabric is so silky and soft, and it’s perfect for my sensitive skin. I’ve been having the best, most comfy sleeps since I got it. Treat yourself to some luxury with this pillowcase – totally worth it!” — Christa E.

This Eli & Elm pillow is designed with an ergonomic contoured edge, specifically to alleviate neck and back pain for side sleepers. Made completely of Oeko-Tex-certified materials, sleepers can customize the pillow’s firmness and the soft cotton cover is removable for easy cleaning.

Promising review: “I set out on a ‘pillow project’ to search for the world’s most comfortable pillow. I have a bad neck, and could not find a pillow that helped me sleep without waking up with a stiff, sore neck. I spent a couple months and tried a total of 11 different pillows. Although I tried to sleep at least several nights on each pillow before making a decision, I often found myself grabbing for the Eli and Elm pillow again before one night was even over on the other pillows. Eli and Elm was the most expensive of all the pillows I tried, so I really did not WANT to like it the best. I was hoping one of the less expensive ones would work out, but in the end, this was the ONLY pillow for me! It is very soft and comfy, yet very supportive for my neck as well. I love the way the curve wraps around my neck and back. It’s like sleeping on a soft, supportive cloud. The only problem I’ve found with this pillow is that it’s SO comfortable that I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning! There are just some things WORTH paying for, and this pillow is one of them!!!” — Cruisepuppy

Ideal for people who are sensitive to down, this standard pair of sleeping pillows are each filled with an ultra-soft and hypoallergenic down alternative and made with a breathable microfiber shell.

Promising review: “These are some of the best pillows that I have ever bought, they’re like resting your head on a cloud” — Matt Rybinski

Readers love this double-brushed microfiber option, which is great if you love changing the theme of your bedroom often because it comes in 41 colors. Orange, taupe, yellow, red, dark gray, and lime green are just a few possibilities. And if you’re a hot sleeper, you’ll also appreciate that they’re moisture-wicking. The set includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet and two pillowcases and is made in sizes from twin to California king.

Promising review: “Move over, clouds, there’s a new level of softness in town, and it’s called LuxClub’s 6 PC Queen Sheet Set. I’m pretty sure these sheets are made from the clouds that angels nap on. They’re so breathable, I feel like I’m being gently hugged by a thousand tiny marshmallows all night long. And the deep pockets? Let’s just say, I’ve lost a few socks in there, but they’re probably living their best life among the luxurious threads. If you’re ready to upgrade from sleeping on sandpaper to sleeping on a cloud, LuxClub’s got you covered. Literally. 5 stars for turning my bed into a soft, fluffy paradise!” — JLV

Years ago I got a PR package sent to my parent’s house (so it wouldn’t get stolen from my apartment). It allegedly contained these bamboo sheets from Cariloha, but I wouldn’t know, because my parents love the sheets so much I never got them. I did say they could have them, as long as I get to sleep on them when I visit, and boy am I happy with that arrangement. They’re a little pricy, but if you have the money, they’re a great investment and they are literally cooling and comforting on the skin but still snuggly and warm in New England winters.

Promising review: “I knew Carilhoa sheets were comfortable, but I was not expecting silky comfort like this with the Resort sheets. It is like sleeping on a cloud! The sheets are cooling and warming at the same time. I just love them, and wish I could stay in bed all day!” — Stacy S

After a BuzzFeed writer deemed these linens the “best sheets known to man” we knew we had to include them here. (While no reviews specifically cited “cloud”, they were called “luxurious” and “like a dream,” so we’re giving them an honorable mention here.) With a 400 thread count, they’re durable and soft while still feeling crisp and breathable, and reviewers love how deep the pockets are. Find them in most bed sizes in solids and patterns.

An editor favorite, Eddie Bauer’s cotton flannel sheets are soft and snuggly without being too hot or sweaty. They’re extra brushed to be so cozy on the skin and come in a bunch of fun and festive patterns.

Promising review: “These Eddie Bauer sheets are so soft you will think you are sleeping on a cloud. The flannel keeps you warm without overheating because it captures your body heat. These are perfect for winter, but they also work great in the summer. I bought this set for my son and daughter-in-law because they also have a big black dog, just like the ones pictured on the sheets! Lots of great patterns besides the dogs! Highly recommended for softness and comfort.” — WordPro

How sumptuous is this chocolate-y linen sheet set from Linoto?

Promising review: “We got the stonewashed linen duvet cover, and we now lovingly refer to it as “The Cloud.” It is so soft and light. It washes beautifully and becomes even softer. Not too hot or too cold—it’s just right. We are thrilled with the quality of this cover!” — Cory D.

Promising review: “These are the best sheets I’ve ever slept on. They are perfectly soft and cozy. My husband sleeps like a furnace (just HOT) and I was worried he would find them too hot and sweat all night, but it was actually PERFECT. Not too hot, not too cold. It was 17° last night and I slept nude and was perfectly comfortable. Paired with a memory foam mattress topper and a memory foam pillow, it was like sleeping on a cloud, soft, warm, weightless. Best night sleep!!! Do yourself a favor and get these sheets! I can’t wait to go back to sleep!!” — Mimi G

Much like those comforting blankets you snuggled with as a wee baby, this 100% muslin cotton throw is made with the same billowy material but just upsized to make the perfect adult version. Constructed of a breathable, gauze-like fabric, this blanket is a HuffPost reader favorite, likely in part due to its resemblance to pricier options from brands like West Elm and Brooklinen. It comes in 12 colors and several sizes.

Promising review: “Treat yourself! Best blanket to feel like you’re wrapped in a cloud hug without any bulk. Amazingly soft. After experiencing mine for several weeks I decided to share the love. I have purchased several for gifts and the receivers practically gush with thank you’s after the first snuggle session. Not for nothing, but I’m not normally the review writing type. This superior product compelled me to do so. ENJOY!! ;)” — J Malek

I’ve written before about my Quince linen duvet cover, and boy does “cloud-like” cover it. It’s a mid-weight set made from 100% European linen flax and comes with a cover and two pillowcases, to instantly give your bed a facelift. It has a button closure at the foot of the cover and you can throw it in the wash and dry it on low. Anecdotally, I have spilled drinks on it and the stains have come out pretty easily, so if you, like me, enjoy a bed coffee but have poor spatial awareness, this could be the duvet cover for you.

When you run hot but still like the feeling of a comforter, you need a super lightweight duvet insert. This all-season option is crafted from super fluffy feather-down and down fiber and wrapped in a breathable 400-thread poly-cotton cover keeping the air flowing as you snore away. It comes in sizes twin-super king.

Promising review: “Oh my gosh I LOVE this comforter! It’s the best one I’ve ever bought in my life and I’m old and I’ve bought a lot of bedding. I’ve spent thousands on high end bedding and this one tops them all. It’s fluffy and so very big. We have a king bed and I got the supersized king and it hangs off all ends of the bed and is dreamy like a cloud when you’re under it. Uh so good! When I received it, the package was vacuum sealed so I put it in the dryer to fluff it before putting on the bed. Amazing is all I can say!” — Cheyenne Sanders

Brooklinen offers this top-rated down comforter in a variety of weights. You can pick from the summer-friendly lightweight option, an insulating “ultra-warm” weight or “all-season” fill intended to provide year-round comfort. The blanket features down cluster fill with a cotton sateen shell that is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. Shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe has this comforter and attests to it being incredibly fluffy, cloud-like and cozy while still remaining lightweight. “I far prefer it to any other down or down-alternative comforter I’ve tried,” she said.

Promising review: “5 star ratingThis is the softest comforter ever!!Five stars for sure. It is like a cloud on our bed.” — Lelsie B.
