27 Reviewer-Loved Makeup Products To Buy ASAP
Read our review of the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream (#5 on the list)!Promising review: "This is the gold standard of BB creams for me. It has a mild scent, a great color match, and gives the skin a healthy, natural glow. It absorbs quickly and doesn't look tacky. The coverage is light to medium, as expected, and it provides good hydration. It's super easy to use, so I recommend it to anyone who wants a simple, effortless look and wants to save time in their morning routine." —EvelynGet it from Amazon for $7.50+ (available in five shades).
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix for getting excellent color payoff (get ready for oh-so-many compliments and questions about which shade you're wearing) *without* sacrificing hydration — it has a big dose of vitamin E and shea butter to keep your lips plump and conditioned all day. Most lip glosses are neither pigmented nor moisturizing and this one somehow manages to be both!
This product is vegan and cruelty free.Promising review: "I'm not typically much of a lip gloss-wearer, but I impulse bought this on my birthday, and it is my new favorite thing. The smell is DELICIOUS. It is a luxurious and moisturizing feeling on your lips, it feels like the world's best lip balm but looks much chicer. Dresses up your face beautifully (it can be fairly sheer and subtle or layered for more color impact) but is just a sensory delight. What a treat!" —pascaleGet it from Sephora for $25 (available in 10 high-shine finish shades and two shimmer finish shades).
A Maybelline Dark Circles Treatment Concealer with a built-in felt applicator so you don't have to whip out a brush. It'll erase all evidence of the fact that you went to bed at 4 a.m. (but unfortunately, it does not get rid of tiredness). Even self-proclaimed ~makeup snobs~ are giving this their stamps of approval — just check out the over 14,000 5-star reviews on Amazon.
Read our review of the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer (#4 on the list)!Here's an excerpt: "I still don't know how a $7 tube of concealer (I use the Neutralizer shade) beats out the more expensive ones I have stuffed into my vanity, but it does. It's not too creamy or thick, yet it still gives solid coverage without the cake-y feeling. When I am done with my entire routine, my eyes look lighter and brighter, but not in a way that's totally obvious — even when photos are taken and the flash is on. Basically what I am saying here is this is a staple beauty product that, IMHO, deserves a place in every makeup bag!" —Kayla Suazo (former BuzzFeed Shopping & Products editor)Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in 24 shades).
A L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion to wear alone, under makeup, or mixed into your foundation for a ~natural~ dewy look — you can skip the highlighter. Get ready to constantly hear, "Wow, did you just come back from vacation?? Because you are seriously glowing."
Promising review: "This is a nice addition to my morning ritual. I even use it when I do not wear makeup (about half the time). It adds a nice glow to my skin and when used with makeup, is even better. It does moisturize, too. I liked it so much, I bought another one before the other ran out." —MJ ChardGet it from Amazon for $12.73+ (available in five colors).
An eyeliner stamp that may seem gimmicky at first but actually works (according to tens of thousands of Amazon reviewers) and can save so much time and frustration because we all know getting those wings to match can take forever and ever. And we simply don't have time for eyeliner drama before work.
One side is a winged stamp and the other side is a regular eyeliner pen.Promising review: "I've been using this winged eyeliner stamp for at least five years, and I've lost count of how many times I've rebought it (seven? eight? a lot). I always get the 12mm vintage black, and nothing else I've tried compares — other stamps smudge the second you blink. This one? Stays put, even with my hooded eyes and 4:30 a.m. work face. I stamp it at just the right angle to fake looking awake, then follow it with eyeliner paste and a brush to fill it out. The other end of the pen works fine, but it's shinier than I like, so I skip it.Does it smudge? Only if I rub my eyes like I'm trying to summon the void. It survives sweat, long shifts, and my chaotic mornings. The only 'issues' I've had: if I'm not careful, the cap can slice off the tip of the wing when I put it back on (annoying, but fixable), and the words rub off the pen so I have to guess which end I'm opening. I've got extras in my car, my tool bag, my bathroom — you name it. Just don't leave them in the sun, or they dry out faster than my patience at 4 a.m. Honestly? Best hack I've ever found. People think I freehand this masterpiece every day. Let them.Edit: I've ordered it nine times since 2019. Talk about dedication." —Mandi WhiteGet a two-pack from Amazon for $14.98.
A Sheglam Color Bloom Liquid Blush with a silky formula for giving you that natural, just-pinched glow. The cute little bottle and doe-foot applicator make it feel like a luxury product, minus the $$$ price tag. Reviewers rave about the buildable color that doesn't budge and don't worry — the bottle may be small, but a little goes a long way.
A Juvia's Place Bronzed Duo with two complementary shades of bronzer so you can customize your glow or use one for contouring and the other for warming up your complexion. The silky powder blends like an absolute dream, and the big pan means you'll have plenty of product to last through summer (and beyond).
Promising review: "Okay, can we just talk about how Juvia's Place never misses? This Dark to Deep Bronzer Duo is giving rich auntie vibes in the best way. The pigmentation? Ridiculous (in a good way). A little goes a long way, so you're definitely getting your money's worth.The two shades in the duo are perfect — one for that soft, everyday warmth and the other for when I'm trying to serve cheekbone drama. And blend? Like butter, baby. Smooth, no patchiness, and buildable if you want to go full snatched.Honestly, I don't even contour every day but this bronzer has me out here doing full beat face just to go to Target. Highly recommend if you love a warm, melty bronze that actually shows up on deeper skin tones. She's THAT girl." —siantta LouissaintGet it from Amazon for $20 (available in five shades).
A Milani 2-in-1 concealer + foundation to give you all the coverage you want in *one* glorious product. Reviewers say it covers everything without looking too thick, applies super smoothly, blends well, *and* doesn't break the bank. What more can we ask for?!
Promising reviews: "This is my favorite foundation. It covers up everything I need it to cover up while still looking natural. Who needs to spend $40 on foundation when you could get Milani. Save your money girl, and go buy another eyeshadow palette." —Brandy"I absolutely love this foundation! It blends effortlessly, feels lightweight on the skin, and gives a flawless finish without looking cakey. It stayed on all day — even through heat and humidity — and didn't oxidize. Great for sensitive skin, too! I'd definitely buy it again." —Mon AGet it from Amazon for $9.59 (available in 41 shades).
A clump-free Vivienne Sabó Cabaret Première mascara with a small, easy-to-use wand (read: it won't poke you in the eye) that'll lengthen and curl your lashes. The lash curler can, thankfully, stay in the drawers.
This product is cruelty-free.Promising review: "This mascara tops everything I have ever tried before. From the cheap drugstore mascara to the expensive high-end mascara. I don't plan on ever going back! The bottle is beautiful and my lashes are long, voluminous and not crunchy or uncomfortable. It dries pretty quickly, too. I don't even need to curl my lashes anymore!" —Indigo RobertsGet it from Amazon for $13.95.
A Coty Airspun loose face power for keeping your makeup in place all day, even in hot and humid weather. It's been popular for a long, looong time (your grandma might have owned an earlier iteration) and reviewers say the current version still outperforms its luxury counterparts.
Promising review: "It's perfect!!! It comes with so much product, and the puff it comes with is pretty handy. The application is smooth. My makeup came out flawless. I set my makeup with this and worked out right after. THERE WAS NO SEPARATION, NO CREASING. This powder blessed me. GOD BLESS." —andreaGet it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in five shades).
A Half Magic Glitter Puck Pressed Fairy Dust you'd probably find in Tinkerbell's makeup bag. The gel-based formula glides on smoothly (with just your finger), stays put for hours, and gives you a shimmer straight out of Euphoria — with minimum fallout. (And actually, this brand was created by the head makeup artist of Euphoria!)
Promising reviews: "I have been on the hunt for anything and everything glitter for my makeup recently and came across this last night at Ulta. I was so impressed with the ease of application, amount in the packaging, and the fact that it's compressed glitter, my inner child was squealing! needless to say I got both of the available colors and it is not a purchase that I regret, these are amazing, and I highly recommend. I do wish that there were more colors though!" —Merkadoh"I'm a professional MUA and I keep this in my kit at all times! This product is so sparkily without being glittery, if that makes sense. It is incredibly versatile and can be used anywhere on the face or body." —Beauty by GarutiGet it from Ulta for $29.50 (available in two shades).
An Ami Colé Soft Shape waterproof lip liner to enhance the look and longevity of your favorite lipstick or wear alone with just some clear gloss — the creamy formula will glide effortlessly so you can get the *exact* shape you want. Chef's kiss (or any kind of kiss — since your lip color definitely won't budge).
Promising review: "Okay, so I did not think I would like this pencil liner because usually I gravitate towards gel liners but I decided to try it and I am so happy I did! It is the closest color match I have found to my natural lip color so I love it to over-line my lips! But I probably wouldn't use it for all over my lips because it's a true pencil liner and it just feels a little too abrasive for me (but that's just a personal preference). The shade is perfect, it lasts so long, and the packaging makes it feel like it's great quality! Highly recommend." —thatgirltkmGet it from Sephora for $18 (available in five shades).
A MAKUP Brow Me Sculpt brow gel that'll give your brows a ~laminated look~ without the salon cost. This dual-power formula combines wax-y hold with gel-like finish, drying clear and matte so your arches stay lifted and flawless all day long. With 4.3 stars on Amazon and over a thousand reviews, the people — and their brows — have spoken.
Promising review: "This eyebrow sculpt gel has completely elevated my brow game! The formula provides just the right amount of hold to keep my brows in place all day without feeling stiff or crunchy. It shapes and defines beautifully while still looking natural.The brush makes application super easy and precise, allowing me to sculpt and lift my brows exactly how I like them. I also love that it doesn't flake or smudge, even in humid weather." —VPGet it from Amazon for $9.98.
A Saie Glowy Super Gel illuminator for achieving a dewy finish that's subtle and not glittery in the least. The lightweight, noncomedogenic formula will apply beautifully (read: no patchiness) *and* it can be worn alone or mixed into skincare and makeup, making this a versatile, multipurpose product you'll reach for day after day.
The product contains olive-derived squalane which helps to lock in moisture, and rosehip seed oil, which is rich in antioxidants, to visibly brighten and moisturize skin. It's silicone-, fragrance-, and cruelty-free.Promising review: "I am soooo in love with this product!! It makes your skin glow and feels so smooth! Anytime I don't want to wear a full face of makeup, I put this on with some moisturizer and it makes my skin GLOW! I will be using this for the rest of my life, lol." —natalieejpGet it from Sephora for $28 (available in four shades and mini sizes).
A waterproof Julep Crème 101 Eyeshadow Stick you can actually apply with one hand (there's even a spongy smudger on one end for blending) so you can amaze others by truly only taking five minutes to finish a full face of makeup. Reviewers say the cream-to-power formula lasts all day yet is easy to remove — a winner all around.
Promising review: "I have to do my makeup most mornings with one hand while holding my baby on my hip with the other. Bought this because using an eyeshadow brush and palette were out of the question. You can layer it for more intense color or just do one light swipe for a hint of shadow. Stays all day, doesn't crease or smear, even in the blistering 100+ degrees Texas heat. Love this stuff. Worth it all day." —Millennial MamaGet it from Amazon for $18 (available in 56 shades).
An e.l.f. Instant Lift Brow Pencil to give your brows the definition and fullness they deserve — without emptying your wallet. This dual-sided wonder has a precise, creamy pencil on one end and a spoolie on the other for blending everything to brow-perfection. Reviewers say it's shockingly good for the price, with a formula that stays put all day (even if your plans go from morning coffee to late-night karaoke).
Promising reviews: "This is hands-down my favorite eyebrow pencil! It's super easy to use and gives my brows a natural, defined look that lasts all day. The formula is smudge-proof, so I never have to worry about it wearing off, even in heat or humidity. The tip is just the right size for creating precise, hair-like strokes, and the built-in spoolie makes blending a breeze. It fills in sparse spots perfectly without looking harsh or overdone. If you want brows that stay put and look amazing all day long, this is the one. I always keep a backup on hand!" —Rachael Andes"This is the ONLY eyebrow pencil I will use. I have some small spots missing from my eyebrow from a prior injury involving stitches, but this pencil fills them in SO easily." —elbekaypGet it from Amazon for $3 (available in four shades).
A Dibs Beauty Desert Island Duo Stick aka the one product you'd probably want if you were in fact stranded on a desert island. It has blush on one end and bronzer on the other, so you can sculpt and flush with one product — and one hand. The blendable formula means you really can't go wrong even without a mirror (which you probably won't have on a desert island).
Promising review: "I never write reviews on Ulta but I had to for this product. This is the most amazing blush and contour ever! It blends out very easily and isn't the most pigmented making it super user/beginner friendly. I would recommend this product to any person at any level of makeup. I also don't reinforce the cream product with powder and it lasts all day!! Don't think twice about this because it's soooo amazing!! :)" —RileyGet it from Ulta for $36 (available in 9 combos).
A ColourPop Pressed Powder Eyeshadow Palette with buttery, pigmented shadows in versatile shades perfect for everything from workday neutrals to night-out smokiness. It comes in lots of different combos so you're almost guaranteed to find the shades to fit your ~vibes~.
Promising reviews: "I bought Deja Brew and I love it. The pigment is there, and the colors are beautiful. What I like about this particular palette is there are several base or mid colors instead of a lot of really dark colors I won't use. Great natural, nude palette that also includes pretty shimmers." —allieb"I bought two of them (Gone Metal and Mauvin' Up). They are very pigmented and great quality for the price. I wet my eyeliner brush and apply them as eyeliner as well. When you wet your brush, it makes the eyeshadow pigments more tense. You could also use brown, red, and/or black eyeshadows in any of these eyeshadow palettes to fill in your eyebrows with an angled brush. The quality is comparable to any designer brand eyeshadows." —MRGet it from Target for $14 (available in nine combos).
A Rare Beauty Soft Pinch liquid blush so you'll always have the most natural-looking flush — so natural, that your friends might say, "OMG, is that really blush?! Are you sure you didn't just come from Pilates??" The formula is super light and blendable, and a little goes a looong way.
Promising reviews: "The color looks intimidating at first, but it blends very well into my cheeks and looks very natural. I usually do two dots on each cheek since it is very pigmented, and I apply it evenly with a brush. I have sensitive skin, so I am happy this product does not make me break out. It's part of my every day look now!" —sw3etn0vember"I love this blush! I have had mine for almost six months now, and it's a staple in my routine! I'm also convinced that this blush will never run out, lol." —4makeuplover4Get it from Sephora for $25 (available in nine radiant finishes, four matte finishes, and mini sizes).
A Clinique Almost Lipstick in the shade Black Honey because this shade honestly looks fantastic on everyone and has pretty much reached cult-favorite status at this point. It has a sheer-yet-buildable formula for when you don't want full-on lipstick but need a little more than a tinted lip balm or oil. This is basically a Goldilocks lippie — not too moist, not too dry, not too pigmented, not too transparent — it's juuust right.
Promising review: "This is my new favorite 'go-to' lip product. It literally gives you the most perfect shade for your skin tone. I don't know how...but it does. It looks completely different on my mother and sister and all are so complementary! It has a beautiful sheen and the color can be darkened by layering on more of the product. Does not feel heavy or sticky. I have definitely noticed my lips are softer since using this, even in cold Northeast weather." —Kristi-RaeGet it from Amazon for $25.
An Essence Lash Princess Mascara that'll lengthen your lashes without being clumpy *and* is a lot more low maintenance to apply and wear than fake lashes. Is it lash extensions or is it your new $5 mascara? Keep 'em guessing.
A Nyx Butter Gloss with a formula that's as smooth as, well, buttah. It's creamy, dreamy, and never sticky — and it's got thousands of 5-star ratings on Amazon backing up the hype. Plus, it comes in *dozens* of shades.
NYX products are cruelty-free.Promising reviews: "I'm honestly obsessed with this lip gloss! It has the perfect balance of shine and moisture without feeling sticky. The formula glides on so smoothly, and it keeps my lips feeling soft and hydrated for hours." —WINDAH SYLVESTRE"I rarely use gloss because I don't like a sticky feel on my lips. This is the first gloss I've tried that gave a good shine without feeling sticky. Stayed in place pretty well & had a nice touch of sparkle." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in 34 regular shades and seven shimmer shades).
A Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Glow Serum with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C for a makeup primer that acts like skincare. This serum-oil hybrid hydrates, brightens, and preps your skin for flawless makeup application. It can be layered under or mixed with foundation, or worn alone for a naturally dewy look.
It's free of parabens, formaldehyde, phthalates, mineral oil, sulfates (and many other ingredients) and contains less than one percent synthetic fragrance. It's also vegan and cruelty-free.Promising reviews: "This will give you a glow-from-within look and my skin feels amazing during and after wearing. Wears beautifully under makeup. This is my third purchase; a staple." —Chrissybklyn718"I love this. It's such a beautiful, glowy, but not sticky primer. I often wear it on its own with a little mascara, concealer, and gloss. It smells like heaven and never breaks me out. Perfect for those dry skin ladies like me." —AllizenGet it from Sephora for $34 (available in three shades).
A L'Oréal Brow Stylist Definer Pencil so precise it'll make your brows look naturally fuller and more polished, even if your morning routine is chaos. The ultra-fine tip lets you flake tiny brow hairs like a fine artist, and the waterproof formula keeps your masterpiece intact through sweat, tears, and unexpected downpours. Reviewers also say it's comparable to the popular (but much more pricey) Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz.
Promising review: "I have tried all the top brands of eyebrow pencils (Benefit's Gimme Brow, Anastasia, you name it), and I keep coming back to this L'Oreal pencil. It works just as well as the more expensive brands, and I love the precision you can get with the fine tip. Stays on all day and comes off easily at night with a little makeup remover. Most importantly, it's easy to create a natural, well-defined brow with this little pencil." —Arlington ArtistGet it from Amazon for $7.95 (available in 10 shades).
An E.l.f. Monochromatic Multi-stick perfect for busy bees on the go and people who can never find their makeup sponges/brushes. It's basically a pocket-size magic wand — swipe it on cheeks, lids, or lips for a monochrome look that says 'I spent hours on this' when you actually spent 30 seconds.
Promising review: "I don't shop drugstore makeup as often as I used to but every time I purchase from e.l.f. I'm never disappointed. I got the shades Sparkling Rose and Glimmering Guava. At first I was scared because when I searched them they look so shimmery, almost glittery. But when you apply them to the face and blend it out, it's actually a really pretty glow and doesn't look glittery or overly shimmery at all. They're such a creamy formula and so easy to blend, but still pack a punch with pigment. Very forgiving though so if you go overboard you have time to sheer it out. I'll definitely buy more colors." —VCGet it from Amazon for $5 (available in six shades).
A Glossier Cloud Paint that's like a dewy blush filter IRL — the fingertip-friendly gel‑cream formula delivers a buildable flush that lasts all day. Reviewers praise how pigmented yet seamless it is (you can go subtle or bold, depending on your mood), with many saying it's a staple in their routine.
Check out a BuzzFeeder's full review of Glossier's Cloud Paint! Promising review: "I got this to make my before-school makeup routine quicker, and it's amazingly easy to apply. It took me a couple of tries to get the amount perfect, I kept over blending it. I would recommend this to anyone, it is one of the best makeup products I've ever bought. I got Dusk and was worried it would be too dark or bring out my redness, but it blends so seamlessly. I love the size, it makes it so convenient for travel." —Travel_addictGet it from Glossier for $22 (available in 10 blush shades and five bronzer shades).
A Winky Lux Confetti Balm Lip Stain so adorable you'll want to reapply in public just to show it off — the clear balm is filled with sparkly bits and adjusts to your unique pH for a custom pink hue. Reviewers love the hydrating formula and the fact that it doubles as a conversation starter.
Promising review: "This is my second Winky Lux balm stain I have owned. I have the lavender one also. They both are very similar but I'm glad I have them both. I keep one in my desk at work and one in my purse. This is very easy to use and I don't even use a mirror when I apply. The color is perfect and goes well with any skin tone since it's PH balanced. This would make a perfect stocking stuffer for any person! I highly recommend this product. It is definitely something I use every day and will plan to always buy." —NCGal83Get it from Target for $17 (available in two shades).

Elevate Your Bedding With The Best Duvet Covers On Amazon
A duvet cover is a multi-purpose bedding accessory that blends comfort with function. It protects your comforter or insert from spills and accidents, while simplifying the cleaning process. Unlike a comforter, it's specifically designed for easy washing and maintenance. Amazon offers a wide range of options, from silky-smooth fabrics to colorful prints and everything in between. The best duvet covers on Amazon come from reputable and beloved brands in the industry and have thousands of glowing customer reviews to co-sign their comfort. Our top choice is the Luxe Sateen Duvet Cover from Brooklinen, which has a buttery-soft sateen weave and luxurious feel that's true to its name. The best duvet covers on Amazon are made with high-quality materials and take the hassle out of ... More cleaning your bedding. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER The right duvet cover can make a huge difference for the look and feel of your bed, and varies depending on the type of materials used and weave pattern. In our roundup below, we highlight duvet covers on Amazon made from popular bedding materials like cotton and linen, options for hot sleepers and solid value picks. For more shopping advice on bedroom accessories, see what our editors named as the best down comforters and best sheets . Material: Cotton | Colors: 10 colorways | Thread count: 480 | Weave: Sateen Pros: Soft, smooth texture with a high thread count Oeko-Tex certified Buttons and corner ties Cons: Sleeps warmer than percale Brooklinen is one of our favorite bedding brands at Forbes Vetted for its quality products and value. Its Luxe Duvet Cover is made with premium 100% long-staple cotton and features a sateen weave that provides a soft and buttery feel with a subtle sheen. It has a 480-thread count, which contributes to its overall coziness. 'The first time I tried Brooklinen's bedding, I fell in love,' says our tester. 'After seeing how the Luxe not only elevated the look of my bedding but was super soft and cozy, I knew it was there to stay.' She also mentions it looks good as new after each wash, and 'putting the duvet cover back on the insert is easy,' thanks to its oversized buttons and corner ties. Material: Tencel lyocell from Eucalyptus | Colors: Blue, gray, pink or white | Thread count: 300 | Weave: Sateen Pros: Breathable for hot sleepers Oeko-Tex certified, made with sustainable materials Buttons with envelope closure Cons: Limited color options on Amazon (more available on Buffy's site) Some customers say it's oversized Buffy has somewhat of a cult following thanks to its Breeze Cloud Comforter that utilizes eucalyptus, a more sustainable and environmentally friendly material than cotton since Eucalyptus trees use less water and pesticides to grow. It's also great at regulating temperature and wicking away moisture. The Breeze Duvet Cover uses the same eucalyptus-based material, with a soft and smooth sateen weave that delivers a relieving and subtly cool-to-the-touch feel. We see it appealing to most people, but especially hot sleepers and eco-conscious shoppers. Even the buttons are naturally sourced and made from corozo nuts. Material: Cotton | Colors: 41 colors | Thread count: 184 | Weave: Percale Pros: Standard and unconventional sizes available (including oversized queen) Large variety of colors to pick from Has a comfortable textured waffle pattern Made with breathable percale cotton Cons: Not as soft as a sateen duvet cover No twin XL or split king sizes Make your mattress feel like a high-end resort and spa with a waffle-textured duvet cover that's made with 100% cotton and a crisp percale weave, making it more breathable and lightweight than covers with a sateen weave pattern. It features a hidden button closure with eight ties on the inside to secure your insert or comforter (as opposed to the standard four), and can be thrown in the washing machine for easy maintenance. Pro tip: I've had 100% cotton, waffle-textured products shrink after a wash and dry cycle, and some customers mention their duvet is too small for their insert. So I recommend you opt for the oversized queen or king, or tumble dry on low to avoid shrinkage. Material: French linen | Colors: 9 colorways | Thread count: N/A | Weave: Patented (LuxeWeave) Pros: GOTS-certified French linen sourced in small batches Breathable feel ideal for hot sleepers Stonewashed for softness Hypoallergenic Cons: No twin, twin XL or split king sizes Sijo is a luxury bedding brand that values sustainability, and the brand's linen set is one of the nicest you can find on Amazon. It sources its 100% organic French linen material in small batches from Normandy, France, a region famous for its premium linen. This bedding is stonewashed and free of bleaches or dyes, so your sheets feel soft and mattress-ready straight out of the package. Plus, linen only gets softer with each cycle. It holds your comforter in place with eight corner loops on the inside and features buttons made from natural coconut shells to close the duvet. Material: Viscose derived from bamboo | Colors: 7 colorways | Thread count: 1,600 (according to the brand) | Weave: Not listed Pros: Zipper closure for ease of use Bamboo material is cooling and moisture wicking Silky-smooth feel Cons: Bamboo material is more prone to wrinkles Another great value, this bamboo duvet cover from Hotel Sheets Direct has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon with hundreds of 5-star reviews. It's made from bamboo viscose, which offers a silky-smooth feel, and is Oeko-Tex certified to be free from harmful substances. Bamboo is also ideal for hot sleepers and warm climates, as it's superior at wicking away moisture and allowing airflow. For those tired of messing with duvet ties and buttons, this duvet design also features an easy-to-use zipper closure. Our experienced editors and writers have contributed hundreds of articles to our mattress and sleep category, covering topics ranging from the best mattresses for side sleepers to how to feng shui your bedroom . Each subject we report on is researched extensively, and we rely on our industry knowledge and trusted experts to help inform our articles. McKenzie Dillon is the author of this story, and she is a mattress and sleep editor at Forbes Vetted with a sleep science coach certification. She has been testing mattresses, bedding and other sleep products for six years and has personal experience with top-rated brands we listed in our roundup. Bridget Chapman is the senior mattress and sleep editor at Forbes Vetted with a sleep science coach certification. She oversees the mattress and sleep category and helps approve the products we choose to highlight. We spoke with Lauren Wood, co-founder of sustainable and ethically made linens company Sirimini, on different bedding materials and important factors to consider when shopping for a duvet cover. Products listed in each best list are chosen by our editors and contributors based on a variety of factors. We first consulted with our team who has personal experience with duvet covers from Amazon and asked for their top tested recommendations. We considered duvet covers from well-loved brands that we have experience with that are reputable and offer high-quality products. We searched through hundreds of customer reviews to determine the upsides and drawbacks to each product, and if we think they're worth the money. We only considered duvet covers with a 4-star rating or higher on Amazon. We took important features into account such as materials used, thread count, weave and notable certifications. A duvet cover can change the feel of your bedding and make a difference in how comfortable you sleep depending on your needs and preferences. The most common materials used include cotton, linen, bamboo and polyester. Natural fibers like cotton and linen are better at regulating temperature and help wick away moisture, while polyester is an affordable and wrinkle-resistant material. However, synthetic materials restrict breathability, which makes it 'more difficult for our bodies to regulate temperature, resulting in overheating and restless nights sleep," says Lauren Wood, co-founder of sustainable and ethically made linens company Sirimini. Weave This refers to the way a fabric's thread pattern is woven, and it also contributes to the overall feel of your duvet cover. Duvets with a percale weave feel more crisp, lightweight and fresh like a high-end hotel sheet. Bedding with a sateen weave tends to be softer, more buttery and gives off a subtle sheen, but it generally sleeps warmer than percale. Thread Count Thread count is a common measurement when it comes to bedding that helps indicate quality and weight. Wood says, 'In hot weather, an organic cotton percale with a thread count of 200 to 400 would be a good choice; the lower thread count benefits sleepers because of their lower density and higher breathability.' Sheets with a higher thread count, on the other hand, are generally softer to the touch and more substantial in weight. That said, thread count is not the only factor to consider, and not all fabrics use it as a measurement. Closure Style One of the biggest grievances people have with duvet covers is how difficult it is to secure an insert or comforter inside. Take a duvet cover's closure style into consideration when narrowing down a purchase since it can help determine its ease of use. The simplest style is a zipper closure, as featured on the Hotel Sheets Direct Set, but the most popular styles are corner ties and buttons. What Is The Best Quality Material For Duvet Covers? The best quality material for duvet covers largely depends on personal preferences and needs. Natural fibers like cotton, bamboo and linen are popular choices for their breathability and softness. What Do Hotels Use For Duvet Covers? Hotels often use bedding that is made with cotton. Some hotels use an actual duvet cover, but it's common to see two flat sheets sandwiching a duvet insert instead of a duvet cover—it's more efficient to change between guests and more cost-effective since hotels buy bedding in bulk. How Do I Choose A Duvet Material? Hot sleepers do best with a lightweight and breathable material such as linen, cotton with a percale weave, viscose or lyocell. If you like a smoother, softer material, then you may prefer cotton with a sateen weave.
