Can you put a price on great sleep? Italian bedding brand Frette, which has been around since 1860, says you can—and it’s a figure that will make you do a double-take. If the Frette name feels familiar, you may recognize them from some of the world’s most luxurious hotels. The Palace in Madrid and the Waldorf Astoria on Park Ave are just a couple five-star stays where you’ll be enveloped in the brand’s high thread count sheets and sumptuous robes.
A legacy brand, Frette has been specializing in soft goods steeped in traditional Italian craftsmanship for well over a century. Their historic linens have been featured on the altar of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Orient Express, and not to mention in the bedrooms of European royalty—but it’s a heritage that comes at a pretty penny. An entry-level sheet set from the brand will run you a minimum of $500 with the priciest shams ringing in at a cool $5,000. It’s no secret that we’re bedding connoisseurs here at AD, and we’ve dedicated countless hours to bring you the best-in-class sleep essentials from sheets to comforters, duvet covers, pillows, and more.
