Find the best bedding in the UK for every season and sleeper. This page gathers our most helpful advice on duvets, pillows, sheets, toppers and more so you can build a bed that feels right all year. Whether you sleep hot, feel the cold, share a bed with different preferences or want allergy friendly options, explore the sections below and follow the links to deeper guides and recommendations.
Duvets: Pick Your Tog and Fill
The right duvet keeps you comfortable without overheating. In summer, 4.5 tog suits many UK bedrooms. For spring and autumn, 7 to 10.5 tog fits most homes. In winter, 13.5 tog brings cosy warmth. All season sets combine a 4.5 and a 9 tog for year round flexibility. Down has a light, lofty drape. Microfibre is easy to wash and allergy friendly. Wool balances humidity well and silk feels cool in summer. For full guidance on togs and fills, see our duvet guide.
Pillows: Loft and Support by Position
Comfort starts with the right height. Side sleepers usually need a higher loft to fill the shoulder gap. Back sleepers do well with medium height and gentle contour support. Stomach sleeping needs the lowest loft to avoid neck strain. Memory foam cradles closely. Latex lifts with a cooler feel. Adjustable shredded fills let you fine tune height at home. Learn how to match loft and materials in our pillow guide.
Bed Sheets: Cooling Percale, Linen and Sateen
Sheets control how the bed feels against your skin. Cotton percale at 200 to 300 thread count is crisp and cool for warm sleepers. Linen is the most breathable choice for humid nights and softens quickly after a couple of washes. Cotton sateen feels smooth and slightly warmer, which suits cooler rooms. Measure your mattress and topper and pick deep fitted sheets with 25 to 40 centimetre pockets. Explore fabrics, thread counts and fit in our bed sheet guide.
Mattress Toppers: Comfort, Cooling and Support
A topper changes surface feel without replacing your mattress. Memory foam relieves pressure for side sleepers. Latex lifts and sleeps cooler so turning is easier. Pick 5 to 7 centimetres for a subtle change or 7.5 to 10 centimetres for maximum plushness. Choose breathable covers and secure corner straps. For help choosing materials and thickness, see our mattress topper guide.
Mattress Protectors: Waterproof and Breathable
Protect your bed from spills and wear without trapping heat. Look for a thin polyurethane membrane bonded to a cotton or bamboo top. It blocks liquid and allows vapour to escape. For allergies or bed bug control, use a full encasement under a fitted protector for easy washing. See breathable options in our mattress protector guide.
Weighted Blankets: Calming and Cooling Options
Weighted blankets add gentle pressure that many find soothing. Choose around eight to twelve percent of body weight. Use glass bead fills and a bamboo or lyocell cover for a cooler feel in summer. For winter, a soft minky cover adds warmth. Get sizing and fabric tips in our weighted blanket guide.
Electric Blankets and Heated Throws
Warm up for pennies per hour. An electric underblanket preheats the bed efficiently. A heated throw is perfect for sofa evenings and adds a flexible layer over the duvet. Look for UKCA marks, timers and washable designs. See our advice on electric blankets and heated throws.
For Cleaner Air and Better Sleep
Comfort is not just about bedding. Dry air can irritate, damp air leads to condensation and musty smells, and airborne dust can bother allergies. Consider a quiet humidifier for winter, a dehumidifier for damp seasons and a sealed HEPA air purifier for dust and pollen.
Sleep Accessories: Earplugs, Masks and Pyjamas
Small changes help you sleep deeper. Earplugs reduce snoring and traffic noise. A blackout sleep mask blocks early morning light. Breathable pyjamas in cotton, bamboo or modal keep you comfortable across seasons. Explore earplugs for sleep, comfortable sleep masks and our pyjamas guide.
