Thankfully wrinkle-resistant sheet sets are available, so you’re able to skip using thesteam iron.
We also love a cotton-blend sheet because the synthetic fibers prevent the sheet from crumpling in the laundry.
We want to warn against falling for marketing that labels sheets as wrinkle-resistant.

This often means the fibers are treated with a finishing agent.
In our experience, such sheet sets arent truly wrinkle-resistant and can feel stiff because of that extra coating.
The thin material also makes them a great choice for hot sleepers.
These sheets are softer than other sateen sheets we’ve tried, and we think they’re a great option for those with sensitive skin, as the smooth texture feels gentle.PHOTO: The Spruce
They shifted and bunched slightly along the middle of our mattress, but it wasnt significant.
Aside from staying wrinkle-free after washing, these sheets also didnt look rumpled after a week of use.
So your bed will look great with them whether its day one after washing or day seven.
Our last note about these sheets is they do have a higher price.
For this reason, weve included other sheet sets below that impressed us with their wrinkle resistance during testing.
These sheets were soft and barely wrinkled even after multiple washes in our testing lab.
The Outlast material also has an even softer initial hand feel than cotton alone.
However, our testing methodology has always included a pre- and post-wash assessment of each sheet sets texture.
We used these insights to narrow down our list to the choices you see above.
Those on this list remained comfortable and minimally wrinkled despite many months of washing and use.
What Makes Sheets Wrinkle-Free?
Ultimately, finding sheets that won’t develop any wrinkles means choosing your sheets' material carefully.
Second, cotton is another consistently wrinkle-free choice.
If you prefer a crisp, subtly soft cotton sheet, there are options available for you too.
The long-staple fibers in these sheets help them to stay soft and are less prone to shrinkage.
Rayon made from bamboo is very soft and stretchy, hence its resistance to wrinkles.
These sheets had an extra hint of softness and were very durable throughout our testing.
When shopping in person, feel the sheets in their packaging.
Tip From Our Team
We recommend washing your sheets in cold water and avoiding high-heat dry prefs.
Some bedding manufacturers allow you to try sheets and return them if theyre not the right fit for you.
