Hotel-style sheets at home: Bonny brand behind sellout doonas dive into sheets - and they are sublime
There's little better than slipping between a set of fresh sheets ahead of an early night. The only thing that makes it just that little bit more elite is when the sheets are of hotel-style quality. Introducing Bonny. The Aussie brand has already won over shoppers all over the country for its cosy, all-year-round duvets. But now, it has gone one step further, diving into the world of cotton sheets. Following two years (yes, really) of research about every tuck, pull and corner-related catastrophe, Bonny has this week dropped a brand new range of bed sheets that will leave you wondering why no one thought of them sooner. Think clearly-labelled fitted sheet corners and pulls, flat sheets with 25 centimetre hems for that crisp five-star hotel look, doona covers with hidden corner ties to stop your doona from doing the midnight shuffle and pillow cases with deep edges. Each set of sheets even comes with a genius 'sheet belt' to keep your linen cupboard from looking like a family of raccoons live in there. 'We're not just making better sheets, we're helping Aussies make their beds better,' Bonny Founder and CEO, David Zwier, tells Best Picks. 'We interviewed dozens of customers and heard time and time again about the battles people have with their sheets, from fitted sheets coming untucked, to the doona going missing in the middle of the night. 'Our sheets are designed to be stress-free to put on so you don't have to break out into a sweat before you hop into bed.' All of the sheets are made from 200 thread count percale cotton. Percale is a closely woven plain-weave fabric known for its matte finish and exceptional breathability, the right choice for those who love that comfy, grounded feeling when they hop into bed. Bonny's sheets are available in eight shades all designed to be mixed and matched: Blueberry, Holiday Blue, Raspberry, Cloud White, Pink Salt, Bonny Clay, Butter Yellow, and Bright White. Tried and tested I recently trialled Bonny's new sheets in the aptly-named Holiday Blue colourway at home — and they more than delivered. Not only do they give a crisp hotel-style look, but they are some of the most comfortable to sleep in that I have ever tested. Neither too hot nor too cold, the sheets stay exactly where you put them all night. They are easy to put on and take off, and look fantastic — even on a dreary Sydney winter's day. One of the features I love the most with the sheets is the handy corner ties on the duvet cover that keep your doona perfectly in place every night. This comes in extra handy with a husband who is permanently stealing the cover from under me, leaving me shivering in the mornings.
