Creamy cotton with blue floral embroidery gives this coverlet the look of a vintage European find. Designed by Los Angeles-based Morrow Soft Goods, it’s crafted from 100% cotton and Oeko-Tex certified for shoppers who value timeless design as much as thoughtful materials. To further nod to your coastal escape, consider layering with a breezy blue linen throw at the foot of the bed.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set
Slip into these airy, silky bamboo sheets and it almost feels like you’ve checked into a summer beach house. Our team’s top-tested set, these bamboo sheets are a favorite amongst our editors. Senior shopping editor Nashia Baker refers to them as the brand’s “bread and butter,” while shopping editor Audrey Lee dubs them a “summer staple.” “They’re so breathable (even when I layer with a thick down comforter on top and throw blanket at the foot of the bed when it’s cold outside or when my AC is blasting) and have deep pockets to fit my notoriously tall mattress and topper combo,” Baker adds.
Nickey Kehoe Ticking Stripe Coverlet
This striped linen coverlet has the soft, lived-in feel of a longtime favorite, straight out of the package. The classic ticking stripe nods to the Spanish Revival style that influenced Southern California architecture and interior design in the early 1900s. Relaxed and richly textural, it captures coastal style but doesn’t venture into seashell-emblazoned, kitschy territory.

Imagine the cool side of your pillow stretched across your entire bed. That’s the appeal of these eucalyptus sheets from Buffy. “I am a hot sleeper no matter the time of year, so I love any sheets that give me some temperature regulation and cooling abilities,” says contributor Zoë Sessums, who adds that they have silk-like softness. There are dozens of colors and patterns to choose from, but if we’re talking coastal, there’s nothing better than the blue stripe colorway. Another feel-good fact? The brand’s signature eucalyptus-derived tencel lyocell uses up to 10 times less water to produce than conventional cotton.
FAQs
What Is the Most Breathable Bedding?
Actually, a lot of fabrics accomplish breathability, and your preference comes down to feel, price point, and sustainability initiatives at the end of the day. Linen, percale, and bamboo all accomplish great breathability. However, linen typically offers a breezy, lived-in look and feel. Percale is our preference for a crisp, hotel-inspired bedscape, and bamboo is ideal for a silk-like sleep setup. All in all, these materials are experts at moisture-wicking and promoting airflow to keep you cool throughout the night.
What Are the Best Coastal Bedding Brands for a Beach-Themed Bedroom?
While some brands market themselves as embracing coastal style—like Serena & Lily—many other brands deliver options that suit the coastal style. As Solis mentions in the intro, look for soft tones with relaxed and comfortable materials. Some picks we’ve tested from Amazon and Brooklinen most certainly fit the bill with their neutral, sea-glass inspired palettes, and traditional stripe patterns that beckon towards a more traditional sense of coastal bedding.
