Emma

Founded in 2015 in Frankfurt, Emma was initially known for its cleverly crafted, cloud-like mattresses, but nowadays the beloved sleep brand sells everything from duvets to beds themselves. It also offers an excellent range of bed linen which includes duvet covers, pillowcases and sheets – all of which are made of 100 percent natural and durable cotton. Available in a selection of stylish neutral tones like white and beige, as well as blues, greens and a pretty floral pattern, products are designed to be light and breathable. They’re all made with temperature regulating cotton, allowing for a comfortable sleep environment, with a matte finish, allowing for a crisp feel that gets cosier with every wash. emma-sleep.co.uk

Christy

This royally good linen and towels brand has our stamp of approval – as well as the royal family’s, ever since Queen Victoria purchased Christy towels in the 1850s. A heritage brand dating back more than 170 years, Christy has survived (and thrived) through two World Wars, several economic crashes and even a pandemic or two. The brand is all about comfort, and cosying up under Christy’s premium bedding every night is a real luxury. christy.co.uk

Cultiver

Australian-born luxury bed linen company Cultiver was founded in 2012 by Nicole Sullivan, who garnered a love for beautiful, rich textiles while growing up in eastern Europe. Her brand is all about thoughtfully sourced, premium products which are designed to last, made using 100 percent quality linen, crafted from European flax. Within its range you’ll find sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases – alongside other bedding items like throws and cushions. These come in an assortment of 16 chic colours, including neutral tones of white, grey and beige, as well as dusky pink, forest green and navy. cultivergoods.co.uk

Norvegr

Grounded in three generations of expertise, family-run Norwegian brand Norvegr knows the importance of a good night’s sleep. It focuses on down duvets and pillows, combining elements of Norse seafaring tradition with modern techniques to create industry-leading products. The very best down is used – including eiderdown hand-picked from abandoned nests in Svalbard – to make airy, soft, heat-regulating duvets which are designed to keep you at the perfect temperature through the night. They’re crafted to last a lifetime – and each item comes with a refurbishment promise, inviting customers back to the Trondheim factory every few years for a clean of the down and rejuvenation of the casing. norvegr.com

Piglet in Bed

Arguably one of the most aesthetically pleasing bed linen brands around if you’re into more of an earthy, cosy cocoon, biophilic kind of bedroom. The linen wrinkles actually look quite stunning (saves you an ironing job) and the best part is that’s it’s as comfortable as it is visually pleasing. pigletinbed.com

Yves Delormes

Yves Delorme is the epitome of European luxury – the family-owned linen brand has been around 1845, and has since been recognised by the French government as an ‘Enterprise of Living Patrimony’ – aka. these are perfectly-made sheets in which to greet your weekend lie-in. uk.yvesdelorme.com

The only linen house to have been awarded the King’s new Royal Warrant (one of a small first batch of 145 specially selected brands), Heirlooms has been manufacturing luxury bed linens from its workshops in West Sussex since 1984. Today, the brand supplies its bedsheets, towels and table linen to the finest private homes and establishments across the country and around the world – all while continuing to combine traditional craftsmanship with the finest materials. We love the Gatsby collection, which epitomises the creative design skills and luxury that Heirlooms has become synonymous with. Art Deco-inspired motifs nod to the glamour of the 1920s era, realised in an evocative palette of graphite greys, iridescent silvers and inky black. heirlooms-linens.com

The White Company

Chrissie Rucker MBE had the idea for The White Company when she couldn’t find well-designed, good quality white bed linens that were also affordable and decided to invest her savings into producing them herself – and thank goodness she did. Since The White Company launched in 1993, it has become the go-to brand for homeware of all sorts, from scented candles to bedding and chic pyjamas. Its endlessly luxurious bed linen collection includes a range of different styles, fabrics and shades, plus a number of eco-friendly options. This includes the Kara Hemp Linen collection, which is crafted from a blend of 52 per cent linen and 48 per cent hemp – why not give the duvet cover a whirl?thewhitecompany.com

Gayle Warwick

A brand that was born at a London kitchen table in 1998 from a passion for beautiful table linen, today Gayle Warwick’s range includes bedding, handcloths and cushions. Each design reflects a focus on minutiae and an inherent love of detail which has become the brand’s signature, and bedding is no exception with English garden-inspired trellis designs and artisan hand embroidery. gaylewarwick.com

Gayle Warwick shares her top tips for choosing the perfect bed linen:

1. My first tip for choosing your bed linen is to select the right cotton. The quality of the cotton will determine not only how long your bed linen lasts and how it washes but also how it feels. We’ve been weaving our own organic cotton for 20 years. If you like a crisp, cool feel choose percale. If you prefer a more smooth finish choose sateen.

2. Thread counts are not a true indicator of quality. It’s the quality of the yarn that makes the difference, feel the material between your hands to see if it’s thick or thin. Try to find a cotton with body and some weight.

3. My third tip is to make your bed with layers to create an inviting feeling when you walk in the bedroom, suffused with cosiness and comfort. I start with two European squares to give height, then two Oxford pillowcases and two boudoirs plus favourite cushions. For sheeting begin with a fitted sheet, I always add a flat sheet on top folded over a blanket cover. I then fold my duvet at the end of the bed. In hot weather, skip the duvet and add a colourful throw or runner across the bottom of the bed. A blanket cover adds some colour, will keep your bed looking fresh all day and works as a layer to create texture.

4. The bed is the most intimate of space in your home, so my most important tip is to the take time to ‘nest’ and design it around your personal look.
