All anyone wants is to slip into bed at night and feel instantly cocooned in softness – so why is choosing the right duvet cover such a complicated mission..? We’ve delved deep into the world of bedding to unravel the mysteries of duvet cover selection, because let’s face it, your choice can make the difference between a night of blissful comfort and a restless evening of textile frustration.
First things first, let’s talk fabric. Do you go for cotton, linen, silk or blended fibres? Cotton is the classic choice – breathable, soft, and available in more thread counts than you can possibly imagine. A high-quality cotton feels like sleeping on a cloud, while cheap, lower thread counts can feel more like sandpaper against your skin. Percale, sateen, or Egyptian cotton? The choices are endless!
Synthetic fabrics aren’t the villains they used to be. Polyester fibres have come a long way… For those who hate ironing (and who doesn’t?), this might be your saving grace.
But comfort isn’t just about the material – it’s about the feel, the weight, the way the fabric drapes over you like a gentle embrace. Some people want a duvet cover that feels crisp and cool, while others want something that feels like a warm hug on a cold night so you may like our brushed cotton range. It’s almost like choosing a life partner, but for your bed!
Practical considerations matter too. Are you a hot sleeper? Look for breathable fabrics. Got kids or pets? Darker colours and stain-resistant materials might be your best friend. Allergic to everything? Hypoallergenic options are your new best friend. Look at our silk or bamboo sheets in particular
