FAQs

The answers, including the ones that cost us a sale.

Every question we get asked, answered at the length it deserves rather than the length that flatters us.

Some of what follows is not what you want to read. Returns are free in the UK and Estonia; elsewhere in the EU they are not, unless something is wrong with the order. Spare gift boxes are not free. We hold no fabric certification. Those answers are here, in the same type as the rest, because finding them at checkout is worse.

How long will it take to arrive?

Orders are packed and dispatched within 1–3 business days, excluding weekends and local public holidays. After that:

Estonia
1–3 business days.
UK & Western EU
3–7 business days.
Rest of Europe
5–10 business days.

A made-to-order colourway or a monogram adds to the front of that, not the end — the piece is made first, then shipped on the same timings.

Rugs and large throws are the exception: they ship rolled in protective wrap and can take longer to dispatch. The product page and your dispatch email confirm the timing.

Where do you ship?

The United Kingdom, Estonia, and all EU member states. We do not deliver to PO Boxes or to military addresses (BFPO), and we do not currently ship outside Europe.

Will I be charged customs or VAT when it arrives?

No. EU orders have VAT included at checkout and there is nothing to pay on delivery. UK orders include all applicable taxes and duties in the price. The number you agree to is the number you pay.

What happens if I get the address wrong?

A parcel returned to us because the address was incorrect, because delivery was refused, or because customs charges went unpaid will have the return shipping cost deducted from your refund. It is worth re-reading the address line before you pay — we cannot recover that cost for you afterwards.

Returns, and what they cost

The section most sites bury. It is fourth here on purpose.

How long do I have to return something?

Two windows run alongside each other. Your 14-day statutory right (UK and EU) lets you cancel and return for any reason at all. On top of that we run an extended 30-day window for items that are brand new and unworn or unused, with the tags still attached, in their original packaging.

Shipping & returns in full →

Are returns free?

In the UK and Estonia, yes — for any reason. Changed your mind about the colour, the feel or how it looks in your bedroom light? Email us within 30 days of delivery and we send you a prepaid return label. You pay nothing to send it back.

Elsewhere in the EU, not if you have simply changed your mind. In that case the return postage is yours. We would rather say so here than let you discover it after the parcel is packed.

Wherever you are, if the item is faulty, or is not what you ordered, the return is free and we handle it — email us within 48 hours with photographs and we will sort it out.

How do I start a return?

Email support@snoozyn.com and we will send you return instructions. Please wait for those before posting anything: items that arrive back without an approved return are rejected, which helps nobody.

Can I exchange something for a different size or colour?

We do not run exchanges as a separate process, because holding your parcel while a swap is arranged is slower than the honest alternative: return the original for a refund, and place a new order for the size or colour you want. The new order ships on the normal timings rather than waiting for the old one to reach us.

Size guide →

Is there anything that cannot be returned?

Yes, and it is a short list: final sale and clearance items, digital gift cards, anything customised or monogrammed, and personal hygiene items or opened care products.

Monogrammed pieces are the one that catches people out. They are embroidered for one person and cannot be resold, so we cannot take them back — which is why the personalisation page asks you to confirm the spelling twice.

The bed builder, and bed sizes

Bedding here is assembled piece by piece rather than bought as a fixed set.

What is the bed builder?

A page where you put the bed together yourself. Fabric and colour are set separately on the fitted sheet, the duvet cover and each pillowcase; the bed on screen redraws in the sampled colour of the actual cloth rather than an approximation; and the whole thing goes into the cart as one set at the bundle price. There is no code to remember — the saving is already in the number.

Build your bed →

Can I mix fabrics across one bed?

Yes — a linen duvet cover over a Cloud Cotton fitted sheet is a normal thing to want, and it carries the same saving as the equivalent single-fabric set. Mixing costs nothing extra.

What bed sizes do you make?

Four: Single (3 ft), Double (4′6″), King (5 ft) and Super King (6 ft). We do not make Emperor.

Will a fitted sheet fit a deep mattress?

Fitted sheets are cut for mattresses up to 35 cm (14 inches) as standard, which covers most beds including a mattress with a topper on it. If yours is deeper than 15 inches we make a tailored sheet instead, at a £15 surcharge. Measure before you order rather than after.

Do you make bedding for children?

Not as a separate children's line — not yet. What goes on a child's bed is the Single (3 ft), made in all four fabrics: from £49.90 in Plain Cotton, £64.90 in Cloud Cotton. A Single set is cut with one pillowcase rather than two.

Children's sleepwear is a range of its own — crewneck pyjama sets from £33, in 1–2Y through 11–12Y.

Kids' sleepwear →

Bedding fabrics and colour

Four fabrics, 81 colourways, and one thing each of them does badly.

Which fabrics do you make bedding in?

Four, all natural fibre:

Cloud Cotton
Two 200 TC layers woven separately and joined, so air sits between them. 17 colourways, sets from £64.90.
Plain Cotton
A flat 200 TC percale with a matte finish and a cool snap. 42 colourways, sets from £49.90.
Silky Cotton
A 300 TC sateen. Cool on contact and kind to hair. 16 colourways, sets from £84.90.
French Flax Linen
170 gsm flax, stonewashed before it reaches you. 6 colourways, sets from £109.90.

The full breakdown, weave by weave →

Which one should I actually buy?

Decide it on what wakes you up, not on what photographs well.

You sleep hot
Linen or Cloud Cotton. Both move air; sateen does not.
You want hotel crispness
Plain Cotton percale. Buy an iron with it.
You want cool-to-the-touch
Silky Cotton — but cool to touch is not the same as airy, and by 3am it is the warmest of the four.
You want it to improve for years
Linen, if permanent creasing does not bother you. It never presses flat.
Is it all natural fibre?

In the bedding fabric, yes. In the fill and in our home range — cushion covers, throws and rugs — no, and the difference is worth stating properly.

Every bedding fabric we weave is cotton or French flax. Fitted sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, flat sheets, table linen: nothing blended, nothing cut with polyester.

The inserts are all synthetic, and there are five of them. The Duvet Insert is 100% polyester — micro-denier cluster fill in a microfibre shell — and it is what you are adding when you choose “+ Duvet Insert” on a set or in the builder. The Pillow Insert, Microgel Pillow Insert, Body Pillow Insert and Cushion Insert are microfibre as well. We chose them over down on purpose: they hold their loft, they wash at 30° at home, and there are no quills to work loose. They are not natural fibre, and we are not going to word them as if they were.

Cushion covers, throws and rugs are a separate range, and many are blends. They are home décor rather than bedding, and the fabric changes with the design. Cushion covers come in cotton, linen, hemp, ramie and viscose blends, and polyester — some are 100% polyester. Throws include wool blends and synthetics as well as cotton and wool; rugs include synthetic fibres and wool blends as well as jute and wool. Each piece’s exact composition is on its own product page, and the bedding claim above does not extend to them.

In sleepwear there is one more: Modal Cloud carries about 5% elastane for stretch, stated on the product itself.

How many colours are there, and does colour cost more?

Eighty-one on the fabric chart — 42 in Plain Cotton, 17 in Cloud Cotton, 16 in Silky Cotton and 6 in linen. Only eight are made to order — the Blue, Green and Black Pinstripes in Cloud Cotton, and Snow, Terracotta, Mist, Moss Green and Charcoal in linen — at the same price, shipping within 3 to 6 days. Every other colourway is ready to ship.

Colour never changes the price. What you pay is set by bed size and by which pieces are in the set, and that holds for the made-to-order colourways too.

Can I order a colour that isn’t listed?

Yes, in every fabric — linen included. Choose Other Colour on the product, leave the colourway you want in the cart note, and it is made in that colour at the same price as a stocked one. The colour chart on the bedding fabrics page is the full range we sample; all but eight of those colourways are ready to ship.

What are the piped, pinstripe and two-tone sets?

Finishes rather than separate fabrics. They are made in Cloud Cotton and Plain Cotton, and they cost a flat premium over the plain set — £3 for two-tone, £6 for pinstripe and £9 for piped — the same at every bed size, not a percentage, so the surcharge does not grow with the bed.

Cloud Cotton → Plain Cotton →

Prices

Published in full, so you don’t have to build a basket to find out.

What does a bedding set cost?

Entry prices, for a single bed, before any bundle saving: Plain Cotton from £49.90, Cloud Cotton from £64.90, Silky Cotton from £84.90, French Flax Linen from £109.90. Prices rise with bed size and with the number of pieces in the set, and a set always costs less than the same pieces bought one at a time.

The whole ladder, piece by piece →

Do you run sales, or is there a discount code?

One offer, and it is the only one we run, the Overnight Offer: subscribe to our letters and we will send you a code for 10% off your first order over £100, to use within 24 hours of signing up. One use per customer, not valid on gift cards, and it cannot be stacked with anything else.

We do not run seasonal sales — no Black Friday, no mid-season event, no countdown. Nothing on the site carries a struck-through price, bedding or sleepwear. The saving on a set is already inside the number on the page, because a set always costs less than the same pieces bought one at a time.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes — a digital gift card from £25 to £500, delivered by email, with no expiry to catch anyone out. It is the sensible choice if you are buying bedding for someone whose bed you have never measured.

E-gift card →

Sleepwear and sizing

Modal, cotton and mulberry silk, in three size ranges.

What is the sleepwear made from?
Modal Cloud
About 95% modal, 5% elastane. Beechwood pulp spun fine, with enough stretch to hold its shape. £45–60.
Pure cotton
Breathable, print-friendly, hard-wearing. From £33 for kids, £50–60 for adults.
Mulberry silk
Grade 6A, in 19 momme (£120–260) and 22 momme (£300). The heavier weight drapes more and creases less.

All pyjamas →

What sizes do you make?

In modal and cotton, women’s sets run UK 6–28. Mulberry silk stops earlier — UK 6–22 in women’s, S–XL in men’s. Men’s modal and cotton run S–XL, and kids run 1–2Y through 11–12Y.

Sizing is true to size; if you are between two, the measurements on the size guide will settle it faster than guessing.

Size guide → Curve & plus-size →

Are the prints your own?

Most of them. The majority of the prints in the range are our own designs, made for snoozyn. A small number are not, and we do not describe those as our own work.

Do you do matching sets for couples or families?

We do. Prints and colours are drawn across the women’s, men’s and kids’ lines deliberately so a set can match without looking like a uniform.

Family sets → His & hers →

Home: cushions, throws and rugs

The fabric changes with the design, so the product page has the final word.

What do you sell for the home?

Alongside the bedding and sleepwear, a home range: cushion covers, throws and rugs, plus cushion inserts and table linen. Each product page states the exact fabric, sizes and care for that piece.

Cushion covers → Throws → Rugs →

Are cushion covers sold with an insert?

No — cover only. The insert is sold separately as the Cushion Insert, a polyester microfibre fill. We would rather say that here than have a flat cover arrive as a surprise.

Cushion Insert →

What sizes are the cushion covers, and can I mix sizes?

Squares in 45 × 45 and 50 × 50 cm, and lumbars in 30 × 50, 30 × 60 and 35 × 55 cm, with a few designs in 30 × 75 cm; not every design comes in every size. Covers are sold only in sets of two or three, and some designs let you mix two sizes within one set — the product page shows whether yours does.

What are the throws and rugs made of?

It varies by design, so we would rather not generalise.

Throws
Knitted or woven, in cotton, linen-cotton, wool blends, pure wool and synthetics (polyester or acrylic). Our own Cloud Cotton throw is six layers of cotton muslin.
Rugs
Synthetic fibres, wool blends, jute and hand-woven wool.

The exact composition is on each product page. The natural-fibre answer above covers the bedding fabric, not these.

Cloud Cotton throw →

What size rug do I need?

General guidance rather than a rule — measure the room and the furniture first.

Under a double bed
160 × 230 cm leaves a border either side.
Under a king
200 × 300 cm.
In a living room
Large enough for at least the front legs of the sofa to sit on the rug.

Rectangles run up to 300 × 400 cm, and there are rounds as well. Masking tape on the floor at the size you are considering settles it faster than a tape measure.

How do I care for cushion covers, throws and rugs?

The product page comes first — it carries the care for that exact fabric. Typically:

Cushion covers
Spot clean, or hand wash cool, inside out. Dry flat; no tumble dryer, no bleach.
Throws
Air and spot clean between washes; hand wash cool with a wool detergent, or dry clean. Dry flat.
Rugs
Vacuum regularly — suction only, no beater bar, on looped or shaggy piles. Blot spills straight away, rotate every few months, and use an anti-slip underlay.
Do rugs and throws get free delivery?

Yes, at exactly the same rates as everything else, with no surcharge for size. UK delivery is free on orders over £50 and £5 below that; EU orders pay the same rates listed under delivery above.

They do travel differently: rugs and large throws ship rolled in protective wrap rather than boxed, and can take longer to dispatch than the usual 1–3 business days. The product page and your dispatch email confirm the timing.

Full shipping terms →

Can I return a rug?

Yes, under the same policy as the rest of the range: within 30 days, unused and with the tags still attached. Free in the UK and Estonia; elsewhere in the EU the return postage is yours if you have changed your mind; free everywhere if it is faulty or not what you ordered. Email us first and we will send instructions.

Do you sell an insert for every cushion cover size?

Our Cushion Insert comes in 40 × 40, 45 × 45, 50 × 50 and 60 × 60 cm squares and a 30 × 50 cm lumbar. Covers in other lumbar sizes, such as 30 × 60 or 35 × 55 cm, take any standard insert of that size, and the product page names the right one.

What size throw do I need?

Each size is labelled by use. A lap throw is about 100–120 cm wide, for one person in a chair. A sofa throw is around 130 × 170 cm. "Sofa or bed end" sizes, around 150 × 200 cm, drape over the arm of a sofa or across the foot of a bed. "Bed" sizes, such as 150 × 240 or 200 × 230 cm, are long enough to run across the width of a double bed. More in our guide to throw blanket sizes.

Is it normal for a new wool throw to shed?

A few loose fibres in the first weeks are normal for brushed and knitted wool, and settle with use. A lint roller deals with them, and a fabric comb lifts any bobbles. See why throws shed.

Which rug is best for a hallway or a busy room?

Polypropylene flatweaves and dense loop piles are the hard-wearing, easy-care choice for hallways, kitchens and family rooms. Jute is strong and textured but coarse underfoot and does not like getting wet, so it suits living rooms and bedrooms better than a kitchen or a bathroom. Runners come in 60 × 160 and 60 × 180 cm. See hallway runner sizes.

Do I need a rug underlay?

On hard floors, yes. A non-slip underlay stops the rug moving and keeps the corners down. On carpet it is optional. See do you need a rug underlay.

Will a new rug lie flat?

Rugs travel rolled, so a new one can curl at the edges at first. Lay it flat, roll it the other way for a few hours, and the edges usually settle within a few days. See how to flatten a rug.

Monogramming and gifting

Hand-embroidered work, and what the box actually costs.

How does monogramming work?

Two, three or four letters, hand-embroidered in a London atelier, set onto a finished piece rather than machined into it during manufacture. The studio preview stops at four characters; a full name, a word or a date can be requested in the notes. You choose the letters, the thread and the placement on the personalisation page and we come back to you.

Price and turnaround are quoted per request rather than published, because both depend on the piece, the thread and where the monogram sits. We would rather give you a real number than a headline one with conditions attached.

Commission a monogram →

Can a monogrammed piece be returned?

No. It is embroidered for one person and cannot be resold, so it falls outside both the 14-day and the 30-day window. Check the spelling, check the initials order, and check you have the right person’s initials — we cannot undo it afterwards, and we would rather say that now than in a refund email.

How do I wash something monogrammed?

Inside out, cold, gentle cycle, in a mesh bag — every time. Dry it one setting gentler than the base fabric would need, and iron on the reverse only, never directly on the stitching. Nothing bleach-based or enzyme-based near the thread, including stain pens.

Care guide →

Is gift packaging included?

With pyjamas, nightshirts and robes, yes — free. They arrive in a snoozyn Signature Gift Box at no extra cost, inside recyclable, plastic-free outer packaging. Bedding, eye masks, table linen, cushion covers and everything else ship in our standard recyclable packaging, not a gift box; rugs and large throws ship rolled in protective wrap. The boxes are sold on their own at £2.90–£11.90 depending on size — for boxing bedding, a mask or cushion covers, for splitting an order into several gifts, or for boxing something that did not come from us. They are not for rugs or throws, which don’t fit in a gift box.

There are four sizes, and the depth is the part that matters. Small (22 × 16 × 4 cm) takes an eye mask or a pillowcase; Medium (35 × 26 × 5 cm) takes a pyjama set or a robe; Large (42 × 32 × 6.5 cm) takes a duvet cover on its own. Only the Extra Large (45 × 35 × 15 cm) closes over a complete bedding set — duvet cover, fitted sheet and pillowcases — in any fabric, up to Super King.

Signature Gift Boxes →

Can I send it straight to the recipient?

Yes, and no invoice goes in the parcel — the price is never in the box. Add a gift note at checkout and we will include it, handwritten onto the card.

Gifting →

What should I buy as a gift?

If you know their bed, a set from the builder in a colour they already live with. If you don’t, a silk eye mask or a pair of pillowcases carries the material without needing a measurement — and a gift card carries neither risk.

All gifts → Under £50 → Luxury gifts →

Care, materials and what we won’t claim

Including the certification we are asked about most, and do not hold.

How do I wash all of this?

Thirty degrees is the ceiling on everything washable — all four bedding fabrics, Modal Cloud, cotton, the inserts and the accessories — on a gentle cycle, tumbled low. Mulberry silk is the single exception: cold water by hand with a pH-neutral silk detergent, or dry clean. Cushion covers, throws and rugs are the other exception: they follow the care on their own product page, summarised in the home answers above.

Four things never, on anything we sell: chlorine bleach, fabric softener, a hot wash, and a sunny line to dry on.

The full care guide, fabric by fabric →

Is your fabric OEKO-TEX or GOTS certified?

No. We hold no third-party fabric certification — not OEKO-TEX, not GOTS, not organic certification on any of our fabrics. A number of bedding brands imply one without holding one, and we would rather say plainly that we don’t.

What we can evidence: our manufacturing partners are independently audited and we hold the audit reports on file. That covers working conditions at the factories that make our goods. It is not a fabric certification and we do not present it as one.

Sustainability & ethics →

What does it arrive in?

Most orders arrive in a recyclable, plastic-free box with a care card. No polybags, no shrink-wrap. Rugs and large throws are the exception: they are too big for a box, so they ship rolled in protective wrap. We say recyclable rather than biodegradable, because recyclable is the claim we can stand behind without a lab result.

My question isn’t here. Who do I ask?

Email support@snoozyn.com. A real person answers, and if the answer turns out to be useful to other people it ends up on this page.

Stated plainly

Four things we don’t do.

Every answer above is written to be true rather than flattering. These four are the ones that cost us sales, so they get their own panel rather than a footnote in small type.

  • Free change-of-mind returns outside the UK and Estonia UK and Estonian returns are free, prepaid label included. Elsewhere in the EU, if the order is right and you have changed your mind, the return postage is yours. If the order is wrong or the item is faulty, it is ours wherever you are.
  • Unlimited free gift boxing One Signature Gift Box comes free with pyjamas, nightshirts and robes only. Bedding and everything else ship without one, and boxes are a real product at £2.90–£11.90 — a second or a third is not free.
  • Fabric certification No OEKO-TEX, no GOTS, no organic certification. Audited factories, audits on file — and no borrowed language that sounds like more than that.
  • Returns on monogrammed pieces Hand-embroidered for one person, so it cannot be resold and cannot come back. Check the spelling before you commission it.

Still stuck?

Email support@snoozyn.com and a person will answer. If the question is about a specific fabric, a wash, or a measurement, the pages on the right usually get there faster.

The rest is easier to decide with the bed in front of you.
