The 16 best places to buy bedding
Bedding comes in all shapes and sizes. From fitted sheets to pillowcases, there are so many bedding options on the market. For the sake of this guide, though, we’ve decided to focus largely on duvet sets and covers as these products often come as part of a bundle - which makes buying bedding even cheaper!
We’ve rounded up a range of bedding to suit all kinds of styles and budgets. However, it's also well worth your time exploring current bedding deals so you can find your dream sheets without a nightmarish price tag.
No matter whether you prefer the soft glide of silk, the crispness of Egyptian cotton, or the cosiness of muslin, we’ve got you covered.
1. The White Company
We’ve always been obsessed with The White Company’s candles and bath towels, but the luxury brand also offers some of the best bedding on the market. While it’s certainly not the cheapest brand on this list, there’s no doubt that customers love the quality of its products. So this bedding is perfect for those who want to add a slice of classic luxury to their bedroom.
The scallop rug trend is everywhere, but let us introduce you to our latest obsession: scalloped bedding. Coming in either a plain white scallop or a pink scallop, this bed linen is made from 200-thread-count cotton percale and will look elegant in any bedroom. Plus, pieces in the Scallop Edge Bed Linen Collection start at just £15, which is extremely affordable for such a luxury brand.
2. Christys
If you didn’t know, Christys is a heritage brand with an impressive royal history. And while the brand is used to making bedding for the upper echelon, its products are also perfect for the everyday. Featuring luxurious and plush bedding at an affordable price, Christys has quickly become one of our favourite brands. And its bedding options are super stylish, too.
While there’s no doubt that we were entranced by the purple hues of this Cool & Crisp Egyptian Cotton Duvet Set, it was the material that left us truly impressed. Made from premium cotton that has finer, longer fibres than you’d find elsewhere, the brand claims that this collection is breathable and velvety soft at the same time. But it also comes in five other colourways if you’re not as taken with the purple as we are.
3. Marks & Spencer
Long gone are the days of Marks & Spencer being an ‘old-fashioned’ brand. M&S has undergone a complete rebrand over the past few years, making it trendier than ever - while still offering high-quality goods that customers (and the Ideal Home team) absolutely love. Its bedding is plush and luxurious while still offering a wide range of colourways and patterns to suit every bedroom in the house.
If you’re looking to add an artistic edge to your bedroom, look no further than this Pure Cotton Watercolour Floral Bedding Set. With two colourways to choose from, you could opt for these beautiful pink hues or opt for some cooler with blue. But while we love the colours and the wide range of sizes offered with this set, we also love the fact that you can get matching curtains - including blackout curtains.
4. La Redoute
The ever-popular French brand, La Redoute, has come far since its catalogue days. With a chic, casual style and a dash of je ne sais quoi, its home and decor range brings the world of French style to homes everywhere. Their bedding is always on our radar due to their affordable prices, timeless designs and quality fabrics.
It's all about the subtle tone-on-tone design on La Redoute's Jobe Tufted Palm 100% cotton duvet cover. Perfect for a boho bedroom idea, it's a rich neutral backdrop for layering over complimentary colours and patterns.
The washed cotton in the Neruda Embroidered 100% Washed Cotton Duvet Cover has a soft, supple and on-trend wrinkled appearance that doesn't require ironing. With a hint of colour in the embroidered edging, mix and match it with other patterns to create a unique bedroom look.
La Redoute's Maddy 100% cotton seersucker duvet cover ticks all the gingham bedding trend boxes. Featuring on-trend sage green checks and stripes in washed cotton, it's lightly embossed using the seersucker technique which will instantly upgrade your calm bedroom set-up.
The Eleanor cotton and linen duvet cover combines the softness of cotton and the raw appearance of linen, making it look so much more expensive than it is. With a fringed finish and lined with an embroidered garland, it's available in three different colourways so you can mix and match effortlessly.
5. Simba
You probably don’t need us to tell you that Simba is one of the best places to buy a mattress. This brand is all about offering people the best night’s sleep, and it uses its innovative tech to give them just that. But Simba is so much more than just a mattress brand. You can also buy everything from pillows to duvets here, and they’re some of the highest-quality products around.
It was only right to choose the Simba Hybrid Pillow as my star pick, as I sleep on this thing (like a baby, may I add) every single night. But while this may look like a normal pillow, underneath the pure cotton cover are tiny foam Nanocubes®, which you can add and remove yourself. This means that you can create a personalised level of firmness and support to ensure the perfect night’s sleep day after day.
6. John Lewis
You probably don’t need us to tell you that John Lewis is a homeowner's dream. With both its own-brand products and designer labels, it’s one of the best places to buy bedding. What we love most about this brand is the fact that it has everything to suit all styles and budgets. From bargain bedding to plush (and more expensive) sheets, you can take your pick of what works for you.
We had to pick this Piglet in Bed Linen Bedding as our star pick, as it's everything we love about bedding rolled into one piglet sandwich. Not only is sage one of our favourite sofa colours to make a bedroom look bigger, but it’s also one of our favourite bedding colours. And this particular bedding is made from super soft 100% stonewashed linen, making it the perfect option for soft and breathable snuggle time.
7. Soak & Sleep
Offering everything from eco-friendly bedding to bedspreads and throws, there was no way we could tell you where to buy bedding without including Soak & Sleep. This brand offers some of the best bedding we’ve come across, as its focus is to offer products that are designed with care and made to last - without making you pay extra for the privilege.
We’re big fans of classic bedding, and that’s where the French Linen Duvet Cover comes into the picture. Made from stunning French linen, this bedding is woven with flax grown specifically in Normandy, resulting in a stylish rumpled look while still offering a super soft sleeping space for those who use it. Rated 4.8 stars out of 5 from over 1,000 customers, it appears this bedding can do no wrong.
8. Dunelm
If you’re looking for budget bedroom ideas, say hello to your new best friend. Dunelm has become a firm favourite of the Ideal Home team, and we can’t get enough of the affordable yet stylish furniture and furnishings this brand has to offer. Its bedding is on-trend and perfect for those who don’t want to spend a fortune. But don’t worry; it’s also super high quality.
Our star pick from Dunelm had to be this Amberley Waffle duvet set. Coming in four sizes, from single to super king, this set is what snuggly dreams are made of. But don’t just take our word for it. The happy customers who scored this set 4.5 stars out of 5 loved how the waffle style added texture to their bedroom and how the natural colourway worked with any bedroom colour scheme.
9. Emma
Another top-notch mattress brand, Emma has also expanded its range over the years. Offering everything from bed linen to mattress toppers and duvets, you just know that the quality is going to be through the roof. Of course, you often have to pay a premium for premium products - but there are Emma discount codes to look out for that’ll bring the price down.
The Emma 100% Cotton Percale Set is a new launch from the brand, and it’s safe to say that we’re impressed. Not only is the 100% cotton material a major selling point, but it also comes in five colourways and offers everything you need to transform a bed - including a fitted sheet, duvet cover, and two pillowcases. It’s also been designed to help you regulate your body temperature at night, especially during the summer.
10. Habitat
Although we’ve come a long way since circling our favourite items in the Argos catalogue, it’s safe to say that Habitat at Argos is still delivering the goods. Offering on-trend bedding at an extremely affordable price, Habitat is the best bedding brand for those who want to add colour and pattern to their bedroom. Of course, those who love classic styles will be happy to know that they're on available, too.
Whether you’re looking for guest bedroom ideas or you’re just looking to brighten up your own master bedroom, this Cotton Scallop Teal Reversible Bedding Set will certainly fit the bill. Offering bright colours and an on-trend pattern, it even comes in yellow and white if you want your bedding to make an even bigger pop. Plus, it has the added bonus of being reversible, so you can mix and match your patterns.
11. Woolroom
Woolroom is trying to change the prevalence of synthetic materials in bedding. This brand only uses 100% British wool in every single product and is dedicated to using this material to give everyone a better night’s sleep. In fact, all of its products are heat-regulating, naturally hypoallergenic, air-purifying, and naturally flame-retardant.
One of the Woolroom’s bestselling bedding options is the Classic Wool Bedding Bundle - and it’s not hard to understand why. This bundle includes a deluxe mattress protector, a 7-10 tog medium duvet, and 2 pillows. This specific set is also designed for ‘just right’ sleepers who don’t want anything too light or too heavy on their bed, and it also comes in four different sizes.
12. IKEA
This popular Swedish brand may have built up a reputation for its impressive flat-pack furniture, but IKEA has also made major waves within the bedding space. As one of the best bedding brands for those who have a smaller budget, you can pick up an IKEA duvet set for as little as £6.50. Of course, the prices do vary depending on the products you choose, but they’re all extremely reasonable.
If you’re looking for a cosy bedroom idea, we’d highly recommend the JÄTTEVALLMO Duvet Set. The soft orange hues are perfect for those who want to add a subtle pop of colour to their bedroom, and the material is celebrated by happy customers who have left 5-star reviews of this product. After all, the blend of cotton and viscose results in a silk-like material that’s incredibly comfortable to sleep on.
13. DUSK
DUSK may sell luxury bedding, but its prices aren’t as high as you’d expect from such high-quality products. In fact, their motto is ‘We’re not cheap. Everyone else is just really expensive.’ And it seems as though they’ve cornered the market when it comes to affordable hotel-like sheets and duvet sets. But it’s important to note that they only focus on one material: luxuriously soft cotton.
If you’re looking for hotel-quality sheets, this Cambridge 200 Thread Count Duvet Cover should definitely fit the bill. Finished with an elegant piped edge (which you can buy in either black, grey, or white), this bedding looks effortlessly stylish while still offering all of the benefits of 200 thread count 100% cotton percale. Plus, it comes in every size from single to king.
14. Panda
If you’re looking to make some eco-friendly changes to your bedroom, look no further than Panda. This brand’s name hints towards the material that has made it so popular in the bedding realm, as it has made countless products using the humble bamboo plant. Yes, from pillows to duvets and mattress toppers, everything on its website has been made with the planet in mind. Plus, everything is super comfortable.
Considered to be one of the best memory foam pillows on the market, the Memory Foam Bamboo Pillow really is in a league of its own. In fact, while some memory foam pillows eventually lose their shape and support as the months go by, Panda claims that this pillow won’t lose any of its shape or density over time. So, you can rest easy (quite literally) knowing that you’ll have reliable support.
15. H&M
Over the past few years, H&M homeware has gone from strength to strength and the Ideal Home team can’t get enough of its soft furnishings, from its bath towels to its bedding. Largely offering neutral and natural bedding sets, H&M is perfect for those who want to add a Scandi vibe to their bedroom. But there are a few bright options out there for those who really want to make their bedroom pop, too.
Coming in a luscious green, this H&M bedding is our top pick for those who want to bring a green bedroom idea to life. But this Cotton Duvet Set also comes in 11 different colourways, so you can really tailor it to your own personal taste. You could even mix and match your pillowcases and your duvet cover - the opportunities are (nearly!) endless.
