POLL: Bedding - Cotton or Linen?
Tom Flanagan

When I see a bed, I often look past the frame and mattress themselves, and head straight to the bedding - after all that's what looks most comfortable!
But when you're choosing bedding, which material do you go for - are you swayed by the luxury of cotton (maybe even Egyptian) or the soft, crinkly goodness that is linen? Go on and vote!

Comments (33)For me, the thing that throws it 'off' is the two mirrors. Theyre creating a visual 'box' which feels unnatural. I think it would look more relaxed if the eye was drawn up from table to headboard, and then back down again. I think its good to have variation in heights when there is more than object on a wall (the cityscape trick!)....See MorePOLL: Best bedding filling
Comments (28)vv0123, I have two silk duvets. The double was an expensive make bought in a sale - 4.5 tog - light and cool and drapes well, so warm in winter too. I get hot so use it in winter and use a thinner 2.5 tog cotton filled one bought from Lidl in summer. I bought a silk single one for around £50 on ebay but it isn't the same. It's heavier (though the same tog rating) and the stiff cover material creaked when I moved so I had to get rid of it. If you're buying silk go for quality. I also have a thin hemp-filled one from John Lewis, but don't like it as much as the cotton....See MorePOLL: Your bedroom colour choices to help with a good night's sleep!
Comments (4)With eyes closed I am not sure it makes a difference...even when I wake multiple times a night the room is dark, so the colour of the room irrelevant The lights are dimmed on going to bed so even if it were a bright room (which it is not), I wouldn't suffer any glare. Serious seep issues cannot be solved by something as simple as a colour change sadly....See MoreWhat colour curtains and bedding for new bedroom?
Comments (6)I would also go for white bedding but with a bold pattern. For curtains I'd also go for linen, maybe something like the bed head to break up the walls a bit.. I liked this bedside cabinet from John Lewis (2nd pic) but it seemed to clash with the headboard but maybe you can find similar or cheaper ones like I've shown that you can paint in the same navy. I thought a pendant swagged over the bed could look nice? Perhaps add a brass mirror/s between the door and radiator?...See More

5 years agoDefinitely linen bedding! Linen is a durable natural fiber derived from the flax plant. ... As linen fibers are thicker than cotton fibers, a lower thread count is necessary to guarantee high quality, enduring linenfabric. Linen is well known for its absorbency; it can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture. It guarantees better quality sleep and can cool you down if you tend to perspire at night [in the Summer, and even in the Winter during heating season]. Linen all the way :)
