Our verdict
The Brooklinen and Belly Sleeper are close. We gave the Brooklinen a slight edge at 9/10 over the Belly Sleeper at 8.5/10 — close enough that fit matters more than the score. After three years of weekly washing, the Luxe Sateen is still hotel-soft with zero pilling—buy it if you sleep cool.
