Cozy Up With the Top Bedding Trends of 2026

The bedroom is officially evolving from a place you simply sleep in to a curated sensory sanctuary. Stark minimalism is out, cozy is in, and this year is all about creating a deeply personal, layered, and comforting space.

And it all starts in bed. Bedding in 2026 offers a restful, grounding foundation, with room to personalize and play with texture and design. Here are the top trends, materials, and colours to get in bed with as you curate your most luxurious sanctuary yet: 

1. Nature’s Calling: Earthy & Sustainable Materials

In 2026, the best-dressed beds will be the best-feeling beds, grounded in natural materials that breathe, and are as good for the planet as they feel on your skin.

 Here are some of our favourites:

• TENCEL™ Modal: Thoughtfully crafted from raw wood materials including beech wood, our BeechBliss bedding is gentle, smooth, and cooling, and made using a sustainable production process.
• Bamboo Cotton: Fabricated using rapidly-renewing natural fibres, our Bamboo Cotton linens are moisture-wicking, breathable, and temperature-regulating for fresher, more comfortable rest.
• Organic Cotton: A healthier, non-toxic alternative to classic cotton, the organic version feels just as good but protects our planet in the process. (For extra peace of mind, make sure your new bedding is GOTS-certified).

Choosing sustainable fabrics doesn’t mean giving up on style, either. From printed Organic Cotton sheets to TENCEL™ Lyocell duvet covers, our bedding is designed to look as good as it feels. Top it off with soft and cozy eco-friendly accessories like throws made from recycled materials and Bamboo Gauze blankets.

2. Warming Palettes: Grounded Earth-Tones and Gentle Neutrals

Cool grays and stark whites are taking a step back for colours that feel warm, grounding, and connected to the natural world.

Think clays, creams, and warm taupes as a neutral bedding base, balanced with botanical greens like sage, olive, and eucalyptus. These colours pair beautifully with greenery and stone or clay features in your home, naturally soothing your senses and connecting you with the Earth. 

For a more thought-provoking, moody colour scheme, go for chocolate browns and burgundys offset with dusty blues or a soft teal. These colourways bring colour-drenched sophistication while evoking the natural serenity of the deep forest and the ocean.

To refresh your bedding palette, start with sheeting as your foundation, then cozy up with a duvet cover and matching pillow shams that you love. Finish it off with a flourish, and personalize the look with throws and cushions that add comfort and visual depth to your space.

3. Tactile Richness: The Power (and Comfort) of Layering

In 2026, bedrooms are becoming more sensory environments that invite touch and create more visual intrigue through layering.

And gone are the days of perfectly-matched sets. Contrasting patterns and textures offer more sensory fun and more opportunities for personalization. Think about combining a cotton jacquard duvet cover set with smooth sateen sheets, or mixing and matching printed sheets with a scenic duvet cover design. 

And top it off with a patchwork quilt, velvet-textured throw, and as many cushions as you can (more is more!)
