Miracle Sheets vs. Brooklinen: a Sweaty Sleeper’s Honest Opinion

Miracle Sheets vs. Brooklinen: a Sweaty Sleeper’s Honest Opinion
Latest posts by Sleep Solutions HQ Team (see all)

I’ve tested a lot of sheets at this point, and I’m having a really good time putting them in head-to-head comparisons. One combination I haven’t compared yet is Miracle Sheets vs. Brooklinen, though. As far as sheets go, on paper, they’re pretty different. Miracle’s claim to fame is their silver-infused “self-cleaning” fabric, while Brooklinen has become almost a household name (at least among my fellow millennials) thanks to their social media presence, modern designs, and massive range of fabrics. That being said, I think both companies check a lot of the same boxes for people, especially hot sleepers, so I thought I’d go over some of their key differences here. 

The Short Answer:

  • Miracle Sheets are best for people who run hot, have sensitive or acne-prone skin, or just want lower-maintenance bedding that feels good and holds up.
  • Brooklinen is best for design lovers, people who want tons of fabric and color choices, and anyone who loves the crisp feel of hotel-style sheets.

Both are great, but your sleep style and aesthetic preferences will tip the scales in one direction or another.

What Makes Miracle Brand Sheets Special?

Miracle is a newer bedding company built around one real concept and product, silver-infused fabrics, specifically sheets. Their claim to fame is weaving silver into cotton, which gives the sheets antimicrobial properties and helps regulate temperature. It’s a smart angle for hot sleepers, people with sensitive skin, or anyone who wants to cut down on laundry days. Their lineup is simple. They offer two sheet fabrics, the Signature and Extra Luxe, plus towels, duvet covers, and comforters that use the same silver tech.

What’s So Special About Brooklinen?

Brooklinen is one of the leaders of the direct-to-consumer boutique bedding brands. There’s a very good chance you’ve seen them pop up on your Instagram feed or on a friend’s wedding registry at some point. They were founded in New York (if that wasn’t obvious from the name), and they built their reputation on affordable luxury sheets that feel like what you’d find in a boutique hotel. They’ve since expanded into towels, loungewear, and home accessories. What sets them apart from Miracle Brand is the sheer variety they carry. They offer multiple fabrics, tons of colors and prints, and regular limited-edition drops. 

Brooklinen Sheet Fabric Options

  • Luxe Sateen
  • Classic Percale
  • Washed Classic Percale 
  • Washed European Linen
  • Organic Cotton (the ones I tested)
  • Heathered Cashmere
  • Brushed Flannel

Miracle Sheets vs. Brooklinen: My Experience with Both

I ordered a set of Miracle Sheets for my bedroom and a set of Brooklinen Sheets for my guest room to test them out. 

Website and Selection

Miracle’s website is probably my least favorite part of the company. For a brand that essentially sells one key product, the site feels cluttered and (dare I say) infomercial-y. I think it does the product a serious injustice, since the sheets really are high quality and not as gimmicky as the site initially led me to believe. That said, the fact that their offerings are so streamlined does make it easier to get in and get out. Just select the color and size sheets you want, hit checkout, and you’re good to go. 

Brooklinen’s site definitely feels more boutique. You can browse by bedding type, fabric, or even trends. The one thing that makes it a little confusing is all of their different bundle options. You can purchase single sheets, sheet sets, or various types of bundles that come with extra pillowcases, duvets, or blankets. Once you figure out their name for the set you’re looking for (I wanted a “Core Sheet Set” as opposed to a “Hardcore Sheet Set” or “Dreamweave Hardcore Bundle”), checking out is relatively straightforward. 

Both companies offered free shipping and arrived quickly. 

Miracle Sheets’ packaging feels a little dated and makes some lofty claims about self-cleaning, but I’d rather not spend extra to offset their packaging budget, so I’m not mad about it.

Just like everything else they do, Brooklinen’s packaging was more stylized. The sheets even came with a free tote bag. 

What I Ordered

  • Miracle’s niche offerings made it really easy for me to choose. I got their Signature sheets in sand. 
  • Brooklinen had seven different sheet fabrics to choose from. I opted for their Organic Cotton and ordered a set of “vanilla”-colored sheets, a creamy off-white color. 

Miracle Sheets vs Brooklinen: Look and Feel

My Miracle Sheets

I was surprised at how soft the Miracle sheets were. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t expect that. I think it might be because I’m so used to “cooling” sheets being made from very crispy, almost stiff, percale. The Miracle Made sheets almost have a brushed cotton feel, like a worn-in t-shirt. The fabric feels soft and a little silky, but not slippery. It’s substantial enough to hold its structure. The “Sand” color that I got was a warm, beige-brown color. A little darker than I expected, but still nice and neutral, which was what I was looking for.

They look nice and clean on the bed (they have an extra-wide elastic band on the fitted sheet, which holds it in place really nicely). Since they are cotton, they do tend to wrinkle slightly, but that doesn’t really bother me. You can use an iron on them if need be.

Brooklinen’s sheets were much stiffer and almost papery out of the package, which I was a little concerned about at first. They softened up with their first wash and were actually really comfortable to sleep on. They’re very lightweight. As in, probably the lightest-weight sheets I’ve ever owned or even slept in. That makes them great for hot sleepers, but I do worry about their longevity. So far, they’ve held up pretty well, but I suppose only time will tell. They look clean and crisp on the bed, but they do wrinkle a lot more than the Miracle sheets (or any of the other sheets that I own, for that matter). Like Miracle, you can iron them if you want. 

Standout Features of Miracle Sheets and Brooklinen

Miracle Sheets are made from 100% long-staple cotton that’s infused with silver. The silver isn’t just a coating, it’s actually woven into the fibers, which means it won’t wash out. That silver infusion is their big differentiator: it adds antimicrobial properties that allegedly help keep the fabric fresher for longer, and might even help with skin issues like acne. 

Brooklinen’s aesthetic variety is what makes them stand out. They offer multiple weaves (Percale, Luxe Sateen, Linen, and even Heathered Cashmere), plus tons of colors and prints. Miracle Sheets, by contrast, come in only two fabric options and about a dozen colors.

So, Miracle wins on techy innovation, Brooklinen wins on style flexibility.

Durability and Care

Miracle Sheets have a sturdier feel that so far has held up after many washes. The elastic on the fitted sheet is strong, the seams feel reinforced, and after several laundry cycles, the fabric still feels substantial. The silver infusion is also permanent, so you don’t have to worry about it washing out.

Brooklinen’s organic cotton sheets feel more fragile because they’re so lightweight. I haven’t noticed fraying or holes, but I do think you’ll have to be a little more careful with them long-term.

Both sheet sets are machine washable (Miracle on warm and Brooklinen on cold), and both can be tumbled dry on low. While they can both be ironed, the Brooklinen sheets do tend to wrinkle quite a bit more. So far, I haven’t noticed any shrinking with either of them, even after several washes. 

Price and Value

Both sheet sets are fairly comparably priced. My Miracle sheets cost $235 for a king set but are $224 for a queen. Brooklinen’s Organic cotton cost $239 for the queen set I got. Their percale and sateen sets cost $209 for a queen, and their linen is $359 for a queen, which is understandable. Linen is almost always priced higher than cotton. 

Miracle Sheets Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Antimicrobial silver woven into the fabric
  • Soft, brushed-cotton feel that still breathes well
  • Great for hot sleepers or people with skin concerns 

Cons

  • Only two sheet fabric options and about a dozen solid color options, no patterns 

Brooklinen Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Relatively large selection of fabrics, colors, and patterns
  • Organic cotton is crisp, light, and breathable 

Cons

  • Some colors/patterns sell out quickly, which can be frustrating
  • The organic cotton (and most likely the percale) might be too stiff for some people

Who They’re Best For

  • Miracle Sheets: Great for hot sleepers, people with sensitive or acne-prone skin, or anyone who doesn’t want to wash their sheets quite as often. If you want sheets that feel comfy and promise some functional extras (like antimicrobial tech), these are for you.
  • Brooklinen Sheets: Great for aesthetic-minded shoppers who want to choose from dozens of colors and patterns, and for people who love the crisp, classic feel of hotel bedding.

Alternatives to Consider

  • Boll & Branch: I like these guys for their super-soft organic cotton and ethical sourcing. Their sheets are pricier, but if transparency and sustainability are your top priorities, they’re worth a look.
  • Quince: If budget is the most important thing, but you don’t want to compromise on style, Quince has bamboo, linen, and cotton sheet sets at a much lower price point. The tradeoff is that they’re made overseas, and the quality isn’t quite as refined as Miracle or Brooklinen.
  • Parachute: Another social media favorite, with a more neutral, California-cool aesthetic. Their brushed cotton and linen sheets are excellent if you want something soft and relaxed-looking right out of the package. These are another staple in my bedding arsenal. 
  • Silvery: Silvery Sheets are another silver-infused option. They’re made from bamboo viscose rather than cotton, so the feel is silky and drapey, though slightly less structured than Miracle Sheets (and they do tend to cling—something to keep in mind if you’re a hot sleeper). They come in a single cool gray color and are priced about the same as Miracle sheets, but are often on sale, making them a good entry point if you want to test silver-infused bedding without a big investment.

Final Thoughts

I’m glad I chose the Miracle Sheets to go on my bed and the Brooklinen sheets for the guest room. I like that Miracle is what I’m going to keep on my own bed long-term, mostly because they’re softer but still cooling. Brooklinen is great in the guest room because it gives it those hotel vibes, which is what I wanted.

At the end of the day, this match-up isn’t really about Miracle vs. Brooklinen, it’s whether you’re a comfort and function-first sleeper or a design-first sleeper.
