What is it about pictures of bedding? Cozy, cuddly, dreamy. They just get you in the mood to... *yawn*. And you know who else likes bedding? Mindy Kaling of The Office. She writes about sheets on her blog! Anyway. Take a look at some bedding setups from Pottery Barn, Anthropologie and West Elm after the jump, complete with a patent-pending sheep rating system: The fewer critters you have to count before you fall asleep, the better!

All prices are for queen-sized items.


This ensemble from Pottery Barn has bright colors, but might be a wee too busy.
Terra bed, $1,499; PB Classic Stripe bedding, $149; Nora Floral duvet cover, $99; sham , $25. Pottery Barn.
Grade: 3 sheep







Not exactly the hippest bed, but it looks really comfy.
Seagrass headboard, $399; Madison Floral duvet, $99, allover flower sham, $29; single-flower sham, $29. Pottery Barn.

Crappy colors, hard-looking bed. Insomnia lurks!
Montego bed, $1,349; Duncan Stripe bedding, $139; pick-stitch quilt, $179. Pottery Barn.
Grade: 4 sheep







This isn't really part of the game, it's just so cute and practical.
Dog bed cubby entryway, $699. Pottery Barn.







This "Eco-Chic" bedding is organic, but the bed itself is made from mahogany. Deforestation dreams? Still, the combo of soothing colors and muted prints is relaxing.
Canopy bed, $1,199; organic cotton & Overlapping Leaves bedding, $119-$139. Pottery Barn.
Grade: 1 sheep







In your past life, you were a poet in Paris. You were ink-stained and impish and loads of fun at parties, with your smoldering dark eyes and simmering wit. You slept here.
Chinoiserie duvet cover, $198; shams, $68 for 2; bedskirt, $88. Anthropologie.
Grade: 1 sheep







Love this bedding. It brings to mind the kind of girl who plays guitar, rescues animals, has a smattering of stamps in her passport and speaks a dead language. She'll break your heart and look hot while walking out the door.
Contsatinople bedding: Quilt, $248; shams, $88 for 2; bedskirt, $89. Anthropologie.
Grade: 1 sheep







This is not for sleep. This is for two words: Outdoor shagging.
Nightingale headboard, $798; Cirrus duvet cover, $198; shams, $68 for 2; bedskirt, $88. Anthropologie.

Even though the bed seems designed for ankle-bruising, the appeal is in the dynamics between soft and hard; square and round.
Low platform bed, $569; Dynasty Dot duvet cover, $149; shams $39 for set of 2; embroidered butterfly pillow, $24. West Elm.
Grade: 2 sheep







It's tough to do retro-hippie exotic psuedo-ethnic without conjuring something that threatens to reek of patchouli. This succeeds: Dreams are sure to be filled with lush roses and verdant oases.
Wood bed frame, $279; Morocco headboard, $359; stitched paisley quilt, $149; shams, $39 for set of 2. West Elm.
Grade: 1 sheep








Yes. This is it. Soft, inviting, clean, crisp, pillowy, plush. Yes, yes, yes. Mmmm.
Random-weave headboard, $379; organic cotton sheet set, $89; organic cotton pleated duvet, $99; shams, $29 for 2; organic pillow cover, $29; organic knit throw, $49; sheepskin rug, $149. West Elm.
Grade: Zzzzz.
