5 Luxury Bedding Ideas for Summer

Many people believe their bedroom should be a haven: somewhere they can return to at the end of every day. Your bedding should ideally be the most luxurious part of your bedroom. Why not make sure you have a bed to dream about?

Here are five sensationally luxurious bedding ideas to try.

High-quality white bedding

Think of white bedding and you may think of The White Company, which sells a lovely range of white products. White bedding feels light and airy, which is just what you need in the summer. It doesn’t have to be plain either: it can be edged with frills or feature a line or two of white patterned stitching to create a subtle effect. The other main advantage is it will never fade and it should stand hot washes every now and then to keep it looking good.

Add a throw and cushions for that luxury hotel touch

Even the warmer summer nights can leave you feeling chilly from time to time. If you’re sleeping under a sheet you might wake up needing a little extra cover. The best solution is a soft generously-sized throw. John Lewis has an excellent range. They are available in a wide range of colours and you can sometimes find complementary cushions too. They certainly provide the perfect finishing touch.

Try silk in summer

There are some good reasons why silk bedding is a good choice in the summer months. Gingerlily sells silk bed linen and if you want to take things to the next level you can enjoy their silk bedding as well. Imagine sinking into a mattress topper filled with silk, or resting your head on a silk-filled pillow completed with a soft silk pillowcase. If there was ever an excuse to pamper yourself, surely this must be it.

Dress your bed every morning for the ultimate in luxury

Although many of us don’t believe we have time to do it, it makes sense to take just a couple of minutes to make your bed each morning. Give the duvet or sheets a shake-out before remaking the bed and plump up the pillows. Your throw and cushions can also be placed on the bed to ensure you will come home to a well-presented bed instead of a messy, sleep-tangled one!

The throw can be folded lengthways and placed across the end of the bed. Give the cushions a quick plump up and set them in front of the pillows. It’s possible to make a great display with four or five cushions of complementary colours too.

Buy sheets and pillowcase set for those really sticky nights

While duvets are now commonplace in many homes, there is still much to be said for having a few sheets stocked away for the warmest nights when there doesn’t seem to be any cool air around at all. If you purchase a high-quality cotton set of sheets and pillowcases with a good thread count, you can swap your duvet for these when the weather gets too warm to handle.

So – how many of these ideas will you try this summer?
