Brooklinen Review: Are the Sheets Still Worth It in 2026?
Brooklinen pairs solid core sheets with one of the longest return windows in bedding, but a flat return fee and a mixed record on durability complaints keep it from being an easy recommendation.
Sixty-second verdict
- The Classic Percale and Luxe Sateen core sets are the reason to shop here, and both include a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases.
- Returns are accepted for 365 days in any condition, even washed, but every refund loses a $9.95 return fee.
- Free ground shipping starts at $100 in the lower 48, which a single Queen sheet set clears comfortably.
- Trustpilot rates Brooklinen 2.5 out of 5, with recent complaints about late shipments, slow refunds and marketing texts that would not stop.
- Rewards points earned since May 2026 expire after twelve months, so use them or lose them.
How Brooklinen scored
Good everyday sheets and an unusually long return window, offset by a per-return fee, a one-year warranty and patchy fulfillment.

The picks
Classic Percale Core Sheet Set Price varies by color
The crisp, matte cotton set that built the brand, and the one we would buy first.
Classic Percale is 270 thread count long-staple cotton in a one-over, one-under weave, which gives the cool, matte, hotel feel that hot sleepers want. A Queen in solid white lists at $199, with colors and patterns costing a little more. The set is OEKO-TEX certified and the fitted sheet suits mattresses up to 16 inches deep, so check your pillow-top first. Percale wrinkles easily, and one recent Trustpilot reviewer reported a strong chemical smell out of the package.
- Best for
- Hot sleepers who like crisp, cool sheets
- Weak spot
- Wrinkles readily; needs a wash before use
Luxe Sateen Core Sheet Set Price varies by color
A smoother, heavier-feeling set for people who find percale scratchy.
Luxe is 495 thread count long-staple cotton in a four-over, one-under sateen weave, made in Portugal. It drapes more and feels silkier than percale, at a small premium: a white Queen lists at $209. Sateen traps more warmth, so it suits cooler bedrooms and four-season climates. Watch the sale calendar. Brooklinen says it will match an event offer on orders placed up to 14 days before a promotion, which is worth knowing because one reviewer saw the price drop sharply soon after buying.
- Best for
- Sleepers who want a silky, warmer feel
- Weak spot
- Sleeps warmer than percale
Super-Plush Turkish Cotton Bath Towels Price varies by color
Dense, heavy towels at a fair price for a pair.
These are 770 GSM towels in Aegean Turkish cotton with zero-twist construction, made in Turkey and sold in pairs. A white pair of bath towels lists at $109, colors slightly more. Heavyweight terry like this feels luxurious, and Brooklinen claims improved absorbency and faster drying. In practice, very thick towels can stay damp longer on a hook in a humid bathroom. Towels are one of the few Brooklinen categories that can be exchanged for another color or size rather than returned.
- Best for
- Anyone who wants a thick, spa-weight towel
- Weak spot
- Heavy pile may dry slowly in humid rooms
Down Comforter Price varies by weight
Canadian down in three warmth levels, sized to fit Brooklinen duvet covers.
The Down Comforter uses certified Canadian down clusters and feathers in a baffle-box sateen shell, with corner loops and tags to make changing the cover easier. It comes in Lightweight, All-Season and a warmest option, and a Full/Queen runs from $299 to $499 depending on weight. Choose carefully: one recent Trustpilot reviewer said the lightweight King looked like a flat blanket inside a duvet cover. People with feather sensitivities should look at a down-alternative fill instead.
- Best for
- Couples choosing a warmth level by climate
- Weak spot
- Lightweight version may look flat
Marlow Pillow $65
An adjustable shredded-foam pillow at a fair price for the category.
Marlow was once a separate brand; its own website is gone and the pillow is now sold on Brooklinen. It is 80 percent shredded memory foam and 20 percent polyester fiber in a cotton sateen shell, with two zippers so you can remove fill to reach one of three loft profiles. That makes it a sensible choice if you are unsure about height. Memory foam can hold warmth, and Brooklinen notes Marlow orders from the old site still get a 365-day return.
- Best for
- Sleepers unsure what pillow height suits them
- Weak spot
- Foam fill can sleep warm
Skip these
Washed European Linen Core Sheet Set
A Queen set lists at $379 or more, close to double the Classic Percale. The flax is OEKO-TEX and European Flax certified and garment-washed, so it starts soft, but linen sheds lint, creases by design and rewards patience. If you want the linen look, buy a single linen duvet cover over cotton sheets and keep most of the money.
Mulberry Silk Pillowcase
One standard pillowcase lists at $69, and Brooklinen’s claim that silk protects skin and hair from friction is marketing rather than settled science. Silk needs gentle washing and frets under rough handling. And because every return costs $9.95, sending back a single pillowcase you did not like forfeits a meaningful share of what you paid.
Brooklinen versus two rivals
Two brands a shopper is likely to be weighing at the same time. Words only; the numbers change too often to print.
| Row | Brooklinen | Parachute | Casper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Range | Sheets in several weaves, duvets, pillows, towels, robes and home goods | Sheets in five fabrics, towels, quilts, decor, baby goods and a mattress | Mostly mattresses, with a small line of sheets, pillows and duvets |
| Price position | Upper mid-market, with frequent sitewide sales and bundle discounts | Noticeably higher, with roughly two big sales a year | Sheets priced below both, with middling ratings on its own site |
| Returns | A full year in any condition, minus a flat return fee | Sixty days, with a flat fee unless you return in store | Thirty days on bedding, and only if unused |
| Standout | The longest bedding return window of the three | A design-led color palette and its own retail stores | Bedding as an add-on to a mattress purchase |

Reader questions
Can you return Brooklinen sheets after washing them?
Yes. Brooklinen’s help center says eligible items can be returned in any condition within 365 days of purchase, including washed and used bedding and pillows. A $9.95 fee comes off the refund, Last Call and Final Sale items are excluded, and used returns are donated through Good360.
Will Brooklinen sheets fit a deep mattress?
The fitted sheets are designed for mattresses up to 16 inches deep, with 12 to 16 inches the best fit, according to Brooklinen’s FAQ. Deep pillow-tops and some hybrid mattresses with a topper will exceed that, so measure before ordering.
Does Brooklinen adjust the price if a sale starts after I order?
Its help center says it will match an event offer on orders placed up to 14 days before the promotion, with exclusions, and it will not stack two promotions. You need to contact support with your order number; the adjustment is not automatic.
Where are Brooklinen products made?
Brooklinen lists manufacturing partners in Portugal, Germany, Turkey, Pakistan, India, China, Peru, Canada and the US. Individual product pages name the country: the Luxe Sateen sheets are made in Portugal and the Super-Plush towels in Turkey.
Do Brooklinen Rewards points expire?
Yes, as of this year. Brooklinen says points earned from May 5, 2026 onward must be redeemed within twelve months of the date they were earned. Points are earned on purchases, reviews, referrals and a birthday bonus.
Bottom line
Brooklinen’s Classic Percale set is still one of the safest sheet purchases online, and a year-long return window for washed bedding is generous. Factor in the $9.95 fee on every return, a warranty that lasts only a year, and recent grumbles about shipping and refunds. Buy the core sheets or the towels during one of its frequent sales, and skip the luxury add-ons.
