Are Martha Stewart Sheets Worth The Investment? (& The Best Place To Buy)

Shopping for budget-friendly bedsheets can be overwhelming: it's nerve-wracking to feel like you must settle for sheets that are too stiff (or so soft they pill immediately) just to avoid a massive price tag. Martha Stewart's home decor collection, including the Amazon storefront, poses a possible solution for this problem that offers the best of both worlds. And, by all accounts, the bedsheets successfully find the happy medium between price and quality. Here's everything you should know about the Martha Stewart bedsheets and where to buy them. 

First off, the reviews: the brand's queen-sized sheet sets have over 1,000 reviews on Amazon and come out to 4.1 out of 5 stars. Customers note that the sheets are high quality for their low price — the set retails for $64.99 and is often on sale for under $50 — and the enticing color options. "This is a very reasonably priced cotton sheet set that is well made and comfortable," one customer wrote, adding, "I like the sunny yellow color, which really brightens a room." Some negative reviewers said that the sheets were not as soft as they would have liked, but you can soften bedsheets by laundering them, as one buyer noted. "They feel more luxurious and a bit thicker compared to your typical mid-range sheets. After multiple washes, they've maintained their softness and comfort, which is a huge plus. However, the sets that aren't 100% cotton have some complaints about their material, with customers noting that they pill easily and fall apart quickly.

In order to get the best deal, you can always look out for Amazon sales, as Martha Stewart continually marks down prices around sales like Amazon Prime Day. At the time of this article's publishing, the MARTHA STEWART 100% queen sheet sets are marked down by 25 percent, retailing at $48.92 on Amazon. You can get the same 100% cotton queen sheet set at Walmart for $90.52, a much higher price than Amazon, but you can snag cotton blend sets (consisting of cotton combined with polyester and other fabric) for around $50, depending on what's in stock. Costco appears to have the best price of any retailer, offering a 4-piece queen set for just $19.99, but the deal is currently sold out and also features the cotton blend fabric instead of 100% cotton.  

To answer the question of if the Martha Stewart products are worth the investment, we can combine the quality satisfaction with the price tag. Most households spend between $50 and $200 for sheets made for queen-sized beds, so this brand is already on the lower side of the range. Combine that with the high reviews and the many color options for the 100% cotton collection and it's pretty clear that these sets would give you a good bang for your buck. However, it's probably not worth buying the cheaper sets that include polyester and other fabrics because the pilling and other material complaints indicate that you might need to replace them pretty quickly.
