How we rate bed linen

Our review compares bed linen on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which bed linen they think is best!


Canstar Blue surveyed 1,805 Australians for their feedback on the bed linen(s) they’ve purchased and used in the last two years. Note: this refers to bedsheets, doona covers and pillow cases, not doonas or mattress protectors.

  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics.


Respondents rate their satisfaction with their bed linen brand(s) from zero to ten, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and ten is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Overall satisfaction: measures consumer satisfaction with a bed linen brand as an individual score NOT a combined total of all criteria.
  • Comfort: the bed linen was comfortable to sleep in and lie on.
  • Value for money: the cost is reasonable for the quality and comfort of the bed linen.
  • Durability: the bed linen didn’t tear, shrink or fade with use or in the wash.
  • Design: the bed linen was aesthetically pleasing, and was easy to use (i.e. doona cover and pillow cases were easy to open and close, etc.).
  • Fit as expected: the bed linen was sized correctly and fitted the bed type as listed.
  • Ease of clean: the bed linen was easy to clean (i.e. machine washable without needing additional steps, etc.).

The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.

  • Overall satisfaction is asked as a specific question and represents an individual measure, not a combined total of all criteria.
  • When we cannot determine a clear winner from the criteria for the Overall satisfaction rating, we will then look at the other criteria measured in the rating.
    • The brand with the highest number of five-star ratings within the supporting criteria will become the five-star recipient in overall satisfaction, and thus win the award. If a clear leader still cannot be determined from the supporting criteria, joint winners will be declared.

Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

  • Pillow Talk
  • IKEA
  • Sheridan
  • Target
  • Bed Bath N’ Table
  • Spotlight
