As the resident Sleep Editor here at Homes & Gardens, I'm often asked: 'Are light or dark bed sheets best for sleep?' I rarely give a straight answer to this question, as it depends on a number of variables, including your bedroom color scheme and your propensity for spills and stains.
Light-colored sheets are a classic for a reason: fresh and clean, light colors bring a brightness into the bedroom, though they tend to show dirt and dust. Dark-colored sheets cover a multitude of messes and make more of a statement in the bedroom, but they tend to overwhelm smaller spaces.
