Bedding by need
Bedding for cold sleepers
If you are the one reaching for another layer, start with the cloth. Cloud Cotton is a double gauze: two fine cotton layers woven separately and joined, so air sits between them. Silky Cotton is a 300 thread count sateen, denser and heavier in the hand than percale. Put them in warm colours and the bed looks as cosy as it feels.
Copper Cloud Cotton double gauze, double set £79.90. Change the colour or any piece in the builder.
Cold sleeper bedding in double gauze and sateen
Each photograph is the variant itself. Prices start at the single size; pillowcases are priced each.
Soft, dense and warm-coloured
Texture and colour both make a bed look warmer; double gauze and sateen do it in different ways.
Which fabric for a cold sleeper
Same four fabrics, read the other way round.
| Fabric | Weave and weight | How it feels | Double set | For a cold sleeper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud Cotton | Double gauze: two fine 200 thread count layers joined | Soft and crinkled; air sits between the two layers | £79.90 | First choice: warm without weight |
| Silky Cotton | Sateen, 300 thread count | Smooth with a low lustre; denser and heavier in the hand | £104.90 | First choice: the densest weave |
| Plain Cotton | Percale, 200 thread count, a plain one-over-one weave | Crisp and matt; cool, flat and quiet | £59.90 | Crisp; pair with a heavier duvet |
| French linen | Stonewashed French flax, 170 GSM | Relaxed and textured; takes up moisture and hands it back | £139.90 | Airy; best kept for summer |
The duvet inside matters as much as the cover. Our duvet insert is a 10.5 tog all-season duvet filled with micro-denier fibre clusters, with eight ties to keep it square, and it is machine washable at home.
