The butter yellow trend has been persistent—we were writing about its emergence even last June—and it’s found its rightful place in our bathroom towel sets, living room details, and, most importantly, our bedroom setups. With warmer months ahead, we’ve been considering a sheet refresh to suit the season, and below you’ll find a list of our butter yellow bedding favorites—duvet covers, pillowcases, we’ve even snuck a couple bedroom accessories in for good measure. Whether your preference is for linen, percale, maybe even a bit of patterning to keep your decor flavorful, we’ve got a high-quality (and oftentimes tested) option for you.

Best Butter Yellow Bedding, Overall
The Softest Pick
This bamboo lyocell sheet set is as smooth as whipped butter. It’s our pick for sensitive skin and made with 100% lyocell, which is hypoallergenic and super soft against skin for those of you that are silk pillowcase fans. It’s also an AD-favorite, ranking high on our list of the softest bed sheets. “Sinking into these is a dream thanks to their glossy feel that rivals the best silk sheets out there,” says senior commerce editor Nashia Baker. “It also doesn’t hurt that the set comes in a warm yellow hue, which just so happens to be my favorite color!”
Most Breathable
Technically “oat,” we love these sheets for their flax-like color that still maintains shades of the aforementioned butter yellow hue. We’ve reviewed Quince’s garment-washed, midweight 100% European flax sheets as some of the best linen sheets. Baker loves them from a design perspective for maintaining her room’s minimalist aesthetic, but also adores them from a sleep perspective, on account of their being “airy nature” and maximum affordability.
Budget Pick
If you’re considering the trend but not wanting to spend hundreds on an interior design moment, this full sheet set will only set you back $24. At such a dubious price, you’d expect these to suffer in quality, but these temperature-regulating sheets are beloved by over 2,000 reviewers on Amazon, who confirm the brushed microfiber bedding set is just as cozy as percale or washed cotton.
For Year-Round Use
We’ve raved about Buffy, and we’ll say no different about this 300-thread-count eucalyptus duvet cover. It boasts softness and breathability, and the high-quality material makes it temperature-regulating. Senior digital editor Zoë Sessums says Buffy’s Breeze sheet set is “cool-to-the-touch” and “ideal for warmer months and hot sleepers.”
Best Cooling Pick
Of course trendy Brooklyn-based bedding brand Brooklinen would be tapped into the butter trend (enough b’s for you?). This soft cotton sateen sheet set set delivers on style and quality, and multiple AD staff swear by them: Commerce director Rachel Fletcher says they’re “not at all scratchy or harsh” on her skin like some other expensive options on the market, and for contributor Erika Owen, these sheets offered refuge during a New York City heatwave.
More AD-Approved Butter Yellow Bedding
Landing a spot in our best colorful bedding, best cottagecore, and best linen roundups, we’re big Piglet in Bed fans. Made from a mix of cotton and linen (55% European linen and 45% long staple cotton, to be exact), these maintain the relaxed look of linen while achieving the softness of cotton. “Though this sheet set is a bit steep in price, the quality is unmatched and I predict I’ll use these for as long as they’ll last (seemingly incredibly long!),” Sessums says. “You really get what you pay for, so I would say these are A+++ sheets.”
Schoolhouse goes above and beyond with this butter yellow option—a seersucker duvet that incorporates soft yellow, a denim blue and white detail, and a seersucker texture for a preppy, summery feel. The 100% cotton guarantees softness, and six corner ties will help keep you from readjusting your duvet insert every night.
Bed Threads combines turmeric with limoncello in this whimsical pillowcase pair. The stark contrast and scalloped detailing make exactly the sort of summery statement we’re looking for, and 100% French flax linen means they’re both plush and durable. Pair these with a more understated sheet set for a distinct decor moment.
Tekla has long been a go-to for their trendy Danish designs—thick stripes, bold colorways, towel and sheet sets that show your design know-how. So of course they’d have a butter yellow duvet cover in the exact shade we’re looking for—bright but not overpowering, pastel without losing impact. It’s 100% organic cotton, 200 thread count, and stonewashed, meaning it arrives soft and gets even softer over time. We’d pair with some bold striped sheets for a fully embraced bedding moment.
For subtle traces of butter yellow, try this percale set from Parachute that comes with one pillowcase, a flat sheet, and a top sheet beneath your choice of duvet. These offer just enough saturation to take you from classic ivory territory to somewhere a bit more interesting.
This well-reviewed percale set from Urban Outfitters is another great budget option. Customers confirm the quality, softness, and longevity of this pick, made from 100% cotton and Oeko-Tex certified to be free of a range of harmful chemicals.
