Nothing could possibly beat the feeling of waking up late on a Saturday morning, wrapped up in your duvet with a cup of tea on the way. Your bed ­is one of the most important spaces in your home, so it’s important to get it right, especially when creating a new home.

Hot summer nights are best spent under cool soft cotton and chilly winter evenings are best spent tucked under a quality down duvet. Deciding what bedding to choose can be a tricky business, so we’ve put together an essential guide to make your bed as comfy as can be.

Super duck down

A down duvet is an investment and it’s the perfect way to stay warm and cosy throughout winter. Allow the luxury of duck feather and the fullness of duck down to comfort you at night. Pair it with comfortable duck down pillows and enjoy luxurious sleeping at its very best.

Cotton

Bamboo

Bamboo is a light and sustainable choice for summer. It is naturally anti-bacterial, odour-resistant and more absorbent than cotton, especially useful for those very hot nights without even a hint of a breeze. It’s a green choice that doesn’t compromise on comfort.

All Season Goose Down Inners

In an era of unpredictable weather patterns, an all-season goose down inner is often the to-go solution for many South Africans. A luxurious filling of goose down keeps your duvet warm enough for winter but light enough for summer.

An all season inner will usually have two parts, which you can clip together for extra warmth in winter and unclip for a lighter cover in summer. With a 25/75 ratio of goose down and feather and 233 thread count 100% cotton percale casing, it’s the ultimate way to spend a night wrapped up in bed.
