Complete comfort: your guide to bed sheets, pillows & quilts

A quilt is the heart of your bedding set up, keeping you cosy throughout the night in any season. With so many options out there, choosing the right quilt can feel a bit overwhelming. Here is our list of things to consider when finding your dream quilt:

Types of quilt fillings

Quilts come with a range of fillings and each type offers its own perks! Down and feather fillings are extra soft without added weight, wool quilts allow your skin to breathe, whilst synthetic fillings like polyester and microfibre are both lightweight and breathable. If allergies tend to disrupt your sleep, look out for our anti-bacterial fills that help keep your quilt feeling fresher for longer.

Find a quilt for every season

Quilts come in low, medium or high warmth ratings to suit different seasons, and you'll see these marked as a warmth rating of 1, 2 or 3 on the label. Quilts with a high warmth rating (3) are perfect for chilly nights in winter, while low warmth options (1) are great for summer. For all-season comfort, a medium warmth quilt (2) is ideal.

H3: Choosing a quilt cover

The cover sitting around your quilt matters almost as much as the fill! Cotton covers feel soft and natural against the skin, while polyester cooling covers are designed to keep the heat away on those warmer nights. So, if you tend to run hot at night, look out for covers with moisture management to help keep things dry and comfortable for the sweetest dreams. Finish off the look with one of our quilt covers to match your bedroom style.

How to wash and care for your quilt

To keep your quilt fresh and fluffy, check the individual label for bed linen care instructions before washing. Many are machine washable, but some might need extra care depending on the type of filling.

Hot tip: regular airing also helps extend the life of your quilt!

The right sheets can make all the difference in how comfortable you feel every night. Whether you're after softness, breathability or all-season versatility, here's what to look for when selecting sheets for your bed:

Types of sheet fabrics

• Cotton is a go-to for many as an everyday sheet because of its softness and breathability

• Flannelette is soft and extra warm for cooler nights

• Polyester blends are easy to care for and designed to last, and stonewashed polyester gives a lived-in, relaxed feel from the very first night

• Cotton Linen has breathable fabric to keep cool at night, perfect for hot sleepers

• Bamboo is naturally breathable and silky soft, with great temperature regulation if you tend to overheat in bed

Find the perfect sheet thread count for sweet dreams A thread count is the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric, making it a useful guide to how a sheet will feel.

• 180 thread count: Perfect if you love that everyday, easy-care feel.

• 250 thread count: Designed to lift the softness without losing breathability.

• 500 thread count: Feels noticeably silkier and more substantial, perfect if you love that hotel-style finish.

Shop our full range of sheet sets to find the thread count that works for you.

Sheet sizes Sheets come in standard sizes and it's important to choose the right one for your mattress. Whether you're after a single, double, queen, or king, make sure the dimensions match your bed for a snug fit (especially for fitted sheets!). You can find the full sizing guide on the sheet packaging; so you can enjoy the perfect fit for every night’s sleep.

Popular sheets for all seasons Choose lightweight, breathable cotton sheets in the hot summer months and heavier, warmer options like flannelette sheets in the winter. If you sleep hot all year round, bamboo blends are a great option to keep you cool.

Choosing the right pillow is essential for a good night's sleep. The pillow you choose to sleep on should support your head, neck and shoulders to keep you comfortable throughout the night.

Pillow sizes for every bed

Pillows come in a range of shapes and sizes to suit your preference. From the classic standard and European pillows to U-shape and body pillows for different sleeping positions, we have them all at incredibly low prices. By picking the right size pillow, you can ensure the style and size suits your sleeping style and bedding setup.

Pillow types for every sleeper

Size and shape isn't the only thing to consider; what your pillow is filled with is the difference between a good or poor night’s sleep. And it all comes down to personal preference:

• Memory foam pillows: mould around your head and neck to give structured support, making them a great pick if you wake up with neck or shoulder soreness or stay in one position through the night.

• Polyester filled pillows: a soft, everyday option that holds its shape well and washes nicely, perfect if you want comfort without the fuss.

• Feather and down filled pillows: light and squishy with the flexibility to be reshaped, giving you that classic hotel-feel sink if you love being able to scrunch your pillow into the right spot.

For a fresher sleep, look out for our cool to touch covers and anti-bacterial covers, which help keep night sweats and allergens in check.

Find a pillow to suit your sleep style Your sleeping position should guide your pillow choice.

• High profile pillows: side sleepers generally prefer a higher profile pillow for wider support to fill the space between the shoulder and head, helping to keep your spine aligned overnight.

• Medium profile pillows: a balanced medium pick is ideal for back sleepers, giving the head and neck steady support without lifting them too high.

• Low profile pillows: popular among tummy sleepers, our flatter pillows keep the head close to the mattress, so the neck stays in a more natural position.

Whether you're a side, back or stomach sleeper, your pillow needs to comfortably support you throughout the night. If you're not sure where to start, check the icons on the label to match your sleeping style to the right profile.

Pillow care and protection We recommend using pillow protectors to keep pillows clean and fresh by guarding against stains. Some pillows are machine washable but always check the label for pillow care instructions as some need gentle care to maintain shape and support. Regularly fluffing and airing out your pillows helps prolong their life and stay fresh for longer. Plus, pair them with a fresh pillowcase to finish the look.

Once you've picked the right bedding essentials, layering is the key to creating a cosy, inviting bed and we have a wide range of options to choose from.

Layering quilts, sheets & pillows

Start with a well-fitted sheet as your base, then add a flat sheet for extra comfort. Top it off with your favourite quilt, quilt cover and finish with decorative pillows arranged to balance comfort and style. Pop a mattress topper underneath if you want an extra cushioned feel. This simple layering will create a cosy, stylish bed that you'll love climbing into every night!

Styling with throws and cushions

Throws and cushions are the final touches that bring your bed to life. Choose colours and textures that reflect your personal style or complement your bedroom décor. From chunky knit throws to cotton cushions, we have a range of bed décor additions for that extra level of comfort and style.

What thread count is best for bed sheets?

The right thread count depends on what feels best to you. A 180 thread count is light and breathable with an easy-care feel, making it a great everyday choice. 250 thread count sheets feel softer and a bit more substantial, while 500 thread count sheets are silky smooth and have that lovely, weighty hand-feel many people associate with hotel bedding. If you sleep hot, stay around 250; if you love that silky, weighty finish, reach for 500.

Which pillow is best for side sleepers?

Side sleepers usually need a high profile pillow with firmer support to fill the gap between the shoulder and head, which helps keep the spine in line overnight. Memory foam is a great option because it moulds around your shape, and a feather and down fill works well if you prefer something softer to scrunch into place. Look for pillows labelled as ideal for side sleepers in store, or check the icons on the pack to confirm the profile. Pair it with a cool to touch cover if you tend to overheat overnight.

Are bamboo sheets good for hot sleepers?

Yes, bamboo sheets are a great option if you tend to overheat at night. The fibres are naturally breathable and good at wicking moisture away from the skin, which helps you stay cool and dry as the temperature changes. Bamboo also tends to be gentle on sensitive skin, so it's a smart pick if you're prone to irritation or allergies. Just check the care label, as some bamboo blends prefer a cooler wash and gentle drying to keep them soft for longer.

What's the difference between feather and memory foam pillows?

Feather and down pillows feel soft and squishy, and you can scrunch and reshape them to suit your sleeping position, giving that classic hotel pillow feel. Memory foam pillows are firmer and mould around your head and neck for more structured support, which can be helpful if you wake up with neck or shoulder soreness. Feather is generally cooler and lighter to lift, while memory foam holds its shape better over time. If you change positions during the night, feather offers more flexibility; if you stay in one position, memory foam offers more support.
