Find the Perfect Bedding Set

How to choose the best bed linen? Satin, flannel, linen, seersucker or Egyptian cotton – when it comes to bedding, there are many options. Do you love a natural vibe or are you leaning toward something a bit more luxurious? We’ll show you what makes each fabric special in our overview below.

The Best Materials for Duvet Covers and Pillowcases

Soft, premium, skin-friendly

When it comes to duvet and pillow covers, comfort is key. Most of our covers are made from 100% high-quality cotton with a smooth, pleasant surface. Did you know that satin, percale and flannel are all made from cotton? The difference lies in the weave. Naturally, all materials are OEKO-TEX® certified. That means: no harmful substances, no compromises. 

Cotton Bedding - A Classic for Comfort & Everyday Use

Classic, comfy, and completely uncomplicated – cotton bedding is always a good idea. It’s soft on the skin, breathable and easy to care for. The fabric is slightly heavier than satin or percale, but still wonderfully smooth. A true essential for any bedroom.

Organic Cotton - GOTS-Certified & Skin-Friendly

Our organic cotton bedding is free from chemicals, GOTS-certified, and feels good all around. Gentle and absolutely beautiful – perfect for anyone who loves their bedroom as much as they love the planet.

Satin – For Those Who Love a Little Shine

Satin bedding brings a touch of luxury hotel flair straight into your home. With its subtle sheen, lightweight feel and silky-smooth touch, it blends comfort with elegance. Made from especially fine cotton with a sleek finish. The front side has a gorgeous shimmer, while the back is matte – a real eye-catcher for your bedroom.

Percale Bedding - Crisp and Perfect for Warm Nights

Percale is one of the finer types of cotton weave. This tightly woven fabric feels cool and crisp on your skin, which makes it ideal for hot sleepers. It’s also durable, long-lasting and looks great with minimal effort. A real upgrade for your bed, especially during summer months.

Linen – Natural Look, Cool Comfort

Linen bedding brings that laid-back summer cottage vibe right into your home. It’s a natural pro: long-lasting, temperature-regulating and gets softer with every wash. The look is effortless, slightly crinkled and full of charm. Perfect for those who love their style relaxed but on point.

Flannel Bedding – Perfect for Winter

When it’s cold outside, flannel makes things extra cozy in bed. The softly brushed material traps warmth, feels amazing against your skin, and is made for snuggling. Great for chilly nights or anyone who loves an ultra-comfy vibe. Did you know? Yarn-dyed flannel not only keeps its vibrant color longer, it also stays beautiful wash after wash.

Egyptian Cotton – For Those Who Want the Best

Fine, soft, and totally luxurious: bedding made from Egyptian cotton is a real showstopper in your bedroom. Its high thread count creates a silky-smooth, premium surface. Almost like sleeping in a five-star hotel. Plus, it’s durable and long-lasting. A top choice for those who want an indulgent sleep experience.

Seersucker Bedding - Perfect for Warm Nights

Wrinkle-free, airy, and effortlessly cool – seersucker is the perfect choice if you like it light and breezy. The signature puckered texture lets air circulate and keeps you comfortably cool at night. Seersucker can be woven or chemically treated. Woven seersucker is considered especially high-quality and durable. This means easy care and no ironing needed. 

Stonewashed – The Casual Look

For all lovers of a modern and slightly edgy style: stonewashed bedding offers an effortlessly cool, worn-in look and super soft touch. Thanks to a special washing technique, the fabric feels extra comfy, stays breathable, and looks stylish too.
