The Complete Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bedding Set for Every Season
Your bedroom is more than a space to sleep in — it's your safe haven, where you go when the world outside gets too much. Choosing the right bedding set, and all of a sudden your space will be transformed into that comfortable but stylish sanctuary you've always wanted. Of course, the right bedding is not just about good looks…it has to be as functional as it is pretty. With so many choices available, it can be hard to choose the set that is right for you and your budget; which is why we put together this comprehensive guide on buying bedding sets by season.
Spring: Fresh and Light
As winter frost gives way to spring dawn and the wonders of nature activate, it is time that we move forward from heavy bedding. When it comes to your spring bedding, anything fresh and rejuvenating!
Textiles: In breathable light materials like cotton or linen. Designed for fabrics that will help keep you cool and comfortable as the mercury starts to rise. Cotton percale or sateen feels crisp and cool, while linen sheets are soft but have a slightly firmer feel.
Colors: Think soft, pastel tones and botanical prints. Think soft pastels of light blues, soft greens and gentle pinks. These colors are the best representation of the season, blooming beauty and also create a peaceful environment in your bedroom.
IT IS ALL IN THE LAYER: For spring you want to use light layers. Opt for a light duvet or quilt that you can easily add / remove depending on the temperature. Add in a throw blanket if it's on the cooler side.
Summer: Cool and Comfortable
Summer demands bedding that lets you feel cooler and more relaxing, no matter how hot it is. Overall, you want to make a very cool atmosphere that holds no sweat but every relaxation.
Fabrics like 100% cotton, breathable fabrics that wick away moisture are ideal as well bamboo and sheats with cooling gel in the fabric. Percale Cotton — This type of cotton is especially good for the crisp, cool feel it provides. Heavy materials (flannel, thick velvet) trap heat.
The colors — opt for brighter or more refreshing colors/patterns. Close your eyes and imagine strong whites, pale blues and vivid yellows. The summer bedding is typically designer in a nautical or even tropical print, which ensures its durability and more fun touch to your space.
Layering Hints: Use just a thin comforter or duvet It's definitely overkill for a Dallas night, and that heavy comforter you have might be just too much. Try opting for a cotton or linen coverlet as an extra layer of warmth which (luckily) won't lead to midnight sweats like those plush polyester throws will; it can also easily be pulled off in the middle of the night if things take a turn toward Bermuda! A different way to maintain all your body temperature is by using a cooling bed mattress pad
Autumn: Cozy and Warm
With the leaves changing and temperatures dropping, it can also be a good time to invest in cozier bedding that will keep you warm and comfortable.
Cloth: Use more luxurious and warmer fabrics like flannel, brushed cotton or velvet. These materials add warmth to your outfit and are ideal for cool winter nights. A down or a down-alternative duvet can be an option for those needing something more luxurious.
Colors Embrace the warm earthy autumn tones. Really deep oranges, warm browns and muted greens. This is not only in keeping with the colors of nature, but also warms up and makes all cozy right at home.
Layer Up: Transition into autumn with layers. Top with a duvet or comforter that is on the heavier side and throw one of two blankets over it to increase warmth. A soft, textural throw can provide an additional cozy and stylish appeal as well.
Winter: Warm and Snug
When it comes to winter bedding, you need something that will keep you warm and comfortable as the chilling cold invades your bedroom. This is about nestling into warmth.
Side matter: Fabrics—Get some weight behind your layering; Flannels, wools, thick down comforter. To bump up the warmth factor, you might want to have a heated mattress pad or electric blanket at your disposal. We offer high thread count cotton or sateen sheets.
Colors: Stick to deeper and darker colors, or opt for a festive pattern. Egg plant, mulberry or teal are great colors for a really rich and luxurious look. Winter bedding will often have festive prints or a warm checkered look.
One: choose a heavyweight duvet or comforterTwo: Layer in between with thick, knitted throw The last thing you want is an ice-like bed under a warm, enveloping quilt. Also remember to invest in cozy sheets (flannel works wonders!). Use any additional blanket you have to stay warm if necessary.
