This Banana Republic Home Bedding Set Makes Me Feel Like I'm In A Luxury Hotel

I love staying at hotels. There's something so whimsical about waltzing into your room to a curation of bath products, unique decor, and most importantly — a perfectly made bed. I can tell if I'm gonna get a good night's sleep at the very first touch. Is the bedding too starchy? Too thick? Too tucked in? Each little element makes a world of difference, lulling me to sleep or leaving me to toss and turn all night.

Throughout my travels, the absolute best bed to rest my head is at the Proper Hotel in Santa Monica. Every time I check in, I know the mattress will be cushy and comfortable, the pillow will be luscious and lovely, and the bedding will be sumptuously soft. In my many attempts, I've yet to recreate this beautiful bed set up in my own room. I've tested bed sheets from Brooklinen, Target, Parachute, and every brand in between.

Finally, I found my holy grail: Banana Republic Home Fine Cotton Sateen Collection. Here's why this bedding set changed the game when it comes to making my bed.

The Fabric Weave Works Wonders

First and foremost, every item in the Fine Cotton Sateen Collection is 100% cotton with a 700 thread count. While that all sounds fancy, let me break down why these factors make all the difference when it comes to good bedding. When fibers are blended together — like sheet set that's a mixture of polyester and cotton — they're often hotter, less breathable, and not as soft. With a set that's 100% cotton, you're able to get a more uniform weave with your yarn, allowing you to better control the heft and feel of the sheets.

That leads us to our weave: sateen. Sateen sheets are when cotton yarn has a satin weave — confusing, I know, but stick with me. Weaves are divided into warp (up-and-down) and weft (left-to-right) threads. Typical plain weaves are exactly what you would expect, with weft threads going over one warp thread, under the next, and so on. With satin weaves, a weft thread goes under one warp thread, over *four* warp threads, under another warp thread, etc. The more loose construction allows for a softer, more luxe feel to the fabric at hand.

As the threads continue to weave together, that creates what's known as the thread count. The idea is that the more threads you weave into the fabric, the softer and smoother it is. Thread count tends to be a little contested as to how much of a difference high counts make. According to Wirecutter's research, anything above 600 thread count isn't much better. That being said, the 700 thread count BR Home sateen sheets are much softer than the 480 thread count Brooklinen sateen sheets I tried earlier this year.

These factors accumulate to create that soft and sumptuous feeling I get every time I lay down at The Proper. I feel enveloped by my bed without feeling overwhelmed by the heft of the fabric. I sleep throughout the night without tossing and turning so much because the sateen feels cool to the touch. And the whole set just kind of drapes over my queen-sized bed without bunching up too much or pulling at the corners, leaving it looking and feeling as relaxed as possible.

The Sheet Set Is Super Stylish

This set comes in four colors — white, oyster, sky (light blue), and thunder (dark gray). I have the oyster set, and it adds a crispness to my bed that a regular white set would, with just a *little* added flair. The off-white color also allows me to play with other bedding like throw pillows and blankets. Right now, I have some hunter green accessories on the bed, but who knows what my winter, spring, and summer color palettes may inspire in the future. Luckily, the oyster color styles well with whichever season!

And It's Fabulously Functional, Too!

When it comes to the duvet cover, there's one feature that I'm absolutely obsessed with. Instead of the typical buttons or snaps at the bottom, this cover ZIPS UP. So after you've done whichever little duvet dance works best for you to slip your comforter in, you don't have to go through the motions of a million little buttons at the end. It's honestly such a game changer.

This bedding is machine-washable, and in fact, I recommend washing them before putting them on your bed. This will help ensure the bedding is clean and free of chemicals and sheens added from factory production, according to Better Homes & Gardens.

These sets come in Queen, King, and California King sizes, so you're unfortunately out of luck if you've got a double or a twin mattress.

11 Gorgeous Target Bedding Picks To Cozy Up Your Room For Fall

Once those light, night breezes start to hit, there's nothing I look forward to more than picking out seasonal decor. Call me crazy, but as soon as there's even a mild breeze I'm picking up everything pumpkin-themed, all the maple scented candles, and as much cozy bedding as possible. And where else do you go for seasonal items other than Target? It's the spot to find all things autumnal, all at once.

As I do every September, I started browsing Target's home section, and I found the most perfect autumnal comforters that I know you'll just love! So, let's switch out your used, old comforters and replace them with new, and perfectly seasonal ones that will get you right into the fall spirit! Keep reading to see all of our faves!

Target

Orange Gingham Comforter

I don't think you could get any more fall than this perfect, orange gingham set. It comes with a comforter and two cute, matching shams to go along with it. If this cozy bedding doesn't get you right into the fall spirit, then I don't know what will! BRB, adding this one to my cart right away.

Target

Chenille Comforter Set

I have been obsessing over all things boucle lately, and I think this chenille comforter definitely fits that bill. It looks exactly like boucle couches that can't stop eyeing lately, and I have to say...I'm obsessed. The texture and color are so appealing for the fall season. It's giving all the soft and cozy goodness!

Target

Boho Reversible Comforter

Cottagecore has entered the chat with this green, floral design! The cool thing about this whimsical set? It's reversible! So, if you ever get tired of the design, you can simply flip it over, and you have a brand new comforter! We love the versatility!

Target

Cross Stitch Bedspread

For some reason, I end up always going for comforters that have a bit of texture. I just love how cozy they feel, while also adding a fun, unique vibe to the room. This cross stitch comforter has an amazing feel — and it's also massive! This bedding will definitely keep you warm and cozy during the fall and winter months.

Target

Micro Texture Comforter

When it comes to this bedding, you're getting a FANTASTIC deal. It includes: 1 comforter, 2 decorative pillows, 2 Euro shams, 2 pillowcases, 2 pillow shams, 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, and 1 bedskirt. Isn't that insane?! You're getting so many items for only $80. Now that's something I can get into — especially when it's in this moody green.

Target

Green Floral Set

This dreamy bedding set is giving me all the whimsical, fairy princess vibes — and I love that for fall! It reminds me of greenery, and the change of seasons (which makes it perfect for this roundup). The set comes with a comforter and two shams, as well! I love a multi-pack deal!

Target

Cotton Voile Quilt

Quilts are really durable and thick, so they help trap in the heat to make sure you're extra warm on any of those chillier nights! I love the simple, autumnal pattern here that feels so perfect for the season, but could honestly still work all year round if you need it to.

Target

Chenille Green Comforter Set

This shade of green is a nice alternative to your typical fall colors like deep reds, burnt oranges, or mustard yellows. This hue gives your room a warm, mild, comforting feel that's perfect for those fall nights where you just wanna cozy up with a book and call it a day. I also tend to lean more towards these color palettes, because they pair really well with a variety of styles and woods that may be in your bedroom.

Target

Threshold Merrow Stitch Comforter

I can practically smell the pumpkin spiced candle that I would light on my bedside table right next to this beauty. The rustic, orange color matched with the white trim is just what you need this autumn. I love how simple and elegant this bedding is, ensuring it will last for seasons to come. Pull out this timeless Target bedding year after year to spruce up your space!

Target

Heather Stripe Comforter

Lighter colors aren't just for spring and summer! If you're more of a simple gal, then this bedding could be a great new addition to your room. The gauzy feel is so cozy to wrap up in, while still adding some added texture to your space for an interesting visual element. If you get this one, then throw in some fall-themed pillows to add a bit of fun to the otherwise simple, and all-season design!

Target

Voile Althea Quilt

This one is giving me all the Secret Garden vibes with the florals and butterflies scattering the print. Its vintage design gives this bedding a timeless look that will have people asking you where you thrifted — or inherited it — from! But alas, it was from Target. Grab this one fast, because I have a feeling this cute option will sell out ASAP!

Brandon Sklenar Looks GOOD In New '1923' Season 2 Trailer

1923 fans are excited for season 2 for a variety of reasons. Not only does it promise to answer our biggest questions from the end of season 1, but I can't wait to see Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) totally kick Banner Creighton's butt. They're waiting for Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) to return to Montana to help them, and the new 1923 season 2 trailer proves there's literally nobody else who can do the job. Not that I had any doubt.

Here's what to expect from 1923 season 2 (aside from a super hot Brandon Sklenar).

The new '1923' season 2 trailer shows off Spencer's journey — and Alex's.

So far, Paramount's been teasing Spencer's journey across the country to reach his family, but this is the best look we've gotten at just how difficult his travels are. Not only is he making his way across state lines with no car and no horse, he's on his own AND he's racing against time as the Duttons fight off Banner and Whitfield at the ranch. I am STRESSED, y'all. (Although I have to admit, he looks dang good doing it.)

We finally get a glimpse of what Alex's next chapter looks like too, as she's left alone on the ship after Spencer gets kicked off. Storms are to be expected, but based on the figure who grabs her from behind, it looks like she could be in some serious danger from a fellow passenger. But even the sketchiest of situations isn't stopping this woman from finding Spencer again.

Every moment matters because in '1923,' "everything has meaning."

“Taylor [Sheridan] called us and said, ‘You have to look at every scene and imagine that it could be the most important scene of the episode, even if it’s just you walking from point A to point B,'” actress Julia Schlaepfer told The Hollywood Reporterin May 2023. “Everything has meaning.”

“I would love for Alex to make it to the ranch and meet the family,” she continued. “I hope we get to see some of her own strength come out now that she’s on her own. I want to meet the Dutton women. I think that that would be a lot of fun — and Teonna, we all want to meet Teonna.”

Every moment, and every relationship, makes 1923 stand out against this year's other TV shows, and Brandon Sklenar is "confident" that 1923 season 2 "is going to be absolutely incredible," he told Forbes. “The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful.”

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 16 and stars Julia Schlaepfer, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Michelle Randolph, Darren Mann, Jerome Flynn, Aminah Nieves, and Isabel May. Stay tuned for the latest news!

I can't wait to reunite with the Duttons — and for Spencer and Alex to reunite with each other. Duh! Check out Every Character Returning For 1923 Season 2 while you wait for the new episodes.

8 Banana Republic Dresses I Want To Wear All Summer Long

I simply cannot be bothered to wear anything but dresses this time of year, especially as the days turn hotter and hotter. Among online window shopping for dresses from brands like Old Navy, Reformation, and Anthropologie, I'm definitely eyeing Banana Republic's site way too often.

Banana Republic dresses are simple, yet perfectly chic if I want to pull a look. These 8 Banana Republic dresses amplify only the most elevated vibes for summer outfits, that all they really require is some sleek shoes and minimal jewelry. The best part of all is these dress styles will last your wardrobe well into next summer, and endless summers after that.

Made with careful attention to detail and quality, make one (or a few!) of these flattering Banana Republic dresses your signature summer look!

Silk-Linen Maxi Dress

The fabric on this maxi dress is a blend of silk and linen, making it super soft and free-flowing – perfect for tackling summer weather! The square neckline and strappy open back design add to its trendiness and also offer additional airflow. This pick is fairly loose-fitting at the waist. It secured with a discreet back zipper.

The Silk-Linen Maxi Dress is available in black and white colors and sizes XXS-XXL for $280.​

Strappy Knit Midi Dress

It's giving 90's supermodel, and I love it! This little knit number is fitted with thin spaghetti straps that lead into a stretchy and form-fitting body. The non-adjustable straps come together along the upper back for a unique lining.

The Strappy Knit Midi Dress comes in sizes XXS-XXL for $200.

Cici Poplin Mini Dress

This marvelous mini has some nice, slimming pleat work along the midsection that travels up the bust for visual effect. The v-neckline lets you show a bit of collarbone, too! This design is based in a breathable stretchy cotton poplin material that falls down to a flared mini skirt.

It's also shoppable in white or light purple colors and sizes 0-20 for $150.

Natalia Square-Neck Midi Dress

This blue baby would make the cutest, most confidence-boosting farmer's market outfit! It has a square neckline that's also reflected on the back. The wide straps and different panels give the effect of a corset that also add to the quality of a drop-waist dress. You'll fall in love with the super-soft cotton poplin as soon as you put it on!

The Natalia Square-Neck Midi Dress is also available in black and blue colors and sizes 0-20 for $170 (was $220).

Cotton-Blend Open-Stitch Maxi Dress

I'm loving the variety in this dress' knitted motifs. It's ultimately meant to be see-through, but it comes with a detachable mini-length slip for added coverage. The maxi length will always look stunning with low-rise heels or ballet flats.

This Cotton-Blend Open-Stitch Maxi Dress from Banana Republic is also shoppable in a cream color and sizes XXS-XXL for $250.

Ness Pleated Satin Midi Dress

This midi number comes complete with an adorable swingy skirt that'll make you feel free this summer. It has lots of pleats and the meticulous attention detail shines through with every angle. The modest scoop neck makes this pick a great contender for the office, but the silky satin fabric with a slight shininess will make your desk outfit anything but boring.

The Ness Pleated Satin Midi Dress also comes in black and sizes 0-20 for $300.

Livia Linen Mini Dress

Butter yellow is super trendy right now, and it looks even better on this mini dress! I adore the playful puffy sleeves, and love the fact that they don't feel too dramatic. The bold v-neck makes this a proper vacation dress for sure, and the pockets along the side seams undoubtedly speak to its practical quantities.

The Livia Linen Mini Dress comes in black, white, white striped and sizes XXS-XXL for $120.

Claudette Silk Midi Dress

Silk in the summer is heavenly to the touch, but also makes you feel sexy! This midi is made from a silk charmeuse material that's light and unlined. It's also available in black and blue and sizes XXS-XXL for $250 (the black and blue colors are on sale for $200).
