25 best duvet covers to give your bedroom a stylish new vibe – starting from £14

The best duvet covers will update your bedroom in an instant, so here are the most stylish bedding sets to invest in today.

For many, getting a good night’s sleep is somewhat tricky. Whether it’s health anxiety, money worries or a huge and overwhelming workflow, one thing’s for sure: we’re struggling to nod off.

While a sound night’s sleep can’t be totally guaranteed by a good quality duvet cover, upgrading the bed sheets you sleep between will ensure you look forward to bedtime with glee. A sumptuous bedding set is synonymous with switching off and hunkering down – and in a WFH/hybrid world where the lines between office and play are blurred, it’s increasingly important to do all we can to make them clearer.

A beautiful duvet cover not only has the power to induce much needed kip, but it can also inject a welcome splash of print, colour or luxurious texture to an otherwise nondescript bedroom – and give you all the hotel vibes. Particularly important when we’re doing a lot more from bed (read: working/eating/Netflix binging/video-calling our mates). A new duvet cover or bedspread is the ideal way to update your space for the new season without the need to pick up nails and a hammer – and one which requires much less commitment. Girls who rent, you know what to do.

Before you buy a new duvet cover, there are a few decisions to be made.

1. Style

Firstly, what style are you going for in your bedroom? Are you a lover of calming pastel hues or are you after something printed and vibrant? What colour are your bedroom rug and bedroom chair? Does Paisley float your boat, or are geometric patterns more your cup of tea? Think about your overall bedroom vibe and bed size, is it a single duvet or a double duvet cover you’re after, and perhaps make some Pinterest boards before making a final decision.

2. Best duvet cover textile

Next, consider the duvet cover fabric itself. If you’re wondering what the best duvet cover material is, we’ve got the lowdown. Cotton is a breathable fabric, easy to maintain and the most popular choice – with Egyptian cotton reigning supreme as the best quality cotton. “100 cotton” is the most breathable of the bunch, so that’s worth looking for if you want to stay cool. The thread count is used to judge the quality, and measures threads per square inch. Meanwhile, cotton “fibre” refers to the type of cotton used. It’s an indicator of quality, and put most simply, the longer the cotton fibre, the better. That said, if you’re looking for minimal creases and less ironing, a poly-cotton blend will be your best friend – just look for ‘easy care’ in the product description.

Linen is a trending choice, thicker than cotton but famously cool in hot weather. And vegan. It also helps you achieve that cool, Scandi and minimalist vibe everyone is going crazy for right now. Fancy yourself a linen duvet cover? H&M, Made.com and Graham & Green (where you can save on your purchase before checkout by using our Graham & Green discount codes) all have excellent linen bedding options in a plethora of neutral tones and mood-boosting hues.

If you’re feeling decadent, silk bedding is experiencing something of a renaissance thanks to its naturally hypoallergenic qualities and ability to leave your skin and hair feeling smooth. Silk makes for the best cover cover for allergies. Check out these silk pillowcase skincare benefits if you need further convincing – and make a beeline for John Lewis’ silk fitted sheet and Soak & Sleep’s silk pillowcases.

Oh, and make sure to see whether your duvet cover has a button closure, poppers or even ribbon ties, too (the latter can be a bit of a faff).

Where to buy the best duvet covers

Made.com is our go-to for contemporary, simplistic bedding, while Marks and Spencer offers up more prints than you could ever imagine. H&M Home offers stylish bedding at accessible prices (we’re obsessing over this grid pattern duvet set, but you’ll have to act quickly if you want it), while this gorgeous plain white bedding will keep things cool and crisp from just £14.

If you have a little more money to spend, Brook + Wilde (not to be confused with Brooklinen!) and their newly-launched Sandringham bed linen set cannot be beaten. From the moment we slipped it over our duvet and pillows, we were converts – not least ‘cos it’s the softest, most luxe duvet cover we’ve ever had the pleasure of sleeping underneath. It been crafted from the finest, 100% combed cotton to create a luxurious sateen duvet cover finish, and boasts an impressive 800 thread count, which means it’s designed to last. In fact, this bedding is just getting softer and softer with every wash, and the luscious cotton also means it’s temperature regulating for the hotter months: dreamy.
