We spend around a third of our lives in bed which means our bedroom is second only to the kitchen as the most used room in the house.

All the excuse you need to make it as comfortable, relaxing and pleasant as possible.

Not surprisingly, it all focuses around the bed. Choosing the right bed linen, duvets and pillows is not just a question of décor or taste. It can actually help you sleep more soundly by creating your own personal comfort zone.

Things to think about

Comfort is key. Do you prefer sheets that are soft and cosy or cool and crisp? Do you want a pillow that’s firm or fluffy? What do you want your bedding to do and how do you want it to feel next to your skin?

Make your style your own. Choose the colours and designs that match the mood you want to create.

Natural or synthetic? Cotton is cool, soft and breathable. Cotton mixes tend to be less expensive and last longer so it’s important to decide which is best for you.

Top brands mean top quality. We’ve picked out the ones that we believe offer the best value for money, including Sanderson, Dorma, Belledorm, Country Diary and V&A.
