Wake up happy with our top picks, from Dusk, Dunelm, The White Company and more
It's been spring for a while now, and summer isn't far off - which means it's the perfect time to give your bedding a seasonal refresh. If you've still got dark hues and chunky layers clinging to your bed, don't worry - there's still plenty of time to swap them out for lighter tones, breathable fabrics and pretty patterns.
I've rounded up a selection of gorgeous spring/summer bedding sets from some of my favourite retailers - think high street heroes like Dunelm and Habitat, as well as luxurious finds from Piglet in Bed, The White Company and Feather & Black.
And when it comes to warmer nights, fabric matters. So, I've prioritised moisture-wicking, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen - because no one wants to wake up in a sweaty huff at 3am.
So, whether you're into soft florals, minimalist neutrals or something bold and bright, these bedding sets are sure to help you sleep cooler and more stylishly this season. Without further ado, here are my top picks for spring and summer bedding.
The best bedding sets for spring/summer
Dunelm Striped Bedding - from £24
Dunelm boasts an impressive selection in a variety of colours and patterns, and I've been particularly taken with this reversible striped set, costing £34 for a double in the sale. It's soft to the touch, looks far more luxurious than its price tag suggests, and boasts a 144-thread count - a respectable figure that strikes a balance between comfort and durability without inflating the cost.
The reversible design is a delightful feature as well. It allows me to give my bed a fresh look with a simple flip, which is perfect for a low-effort bedroom makeover. This is an excellent purchase if you're looking for budget-friendly bedding that doesn't compromise on quality.
Sizes: Single, double, king, super king
Material: Cotton
Pillowcases included? Yes
Dusk Gabriella Gingham Bedding Set - from £34
Ask anyone, they'll tell you that I'm a Dusk obsessive. From my lampshade and bedroom furniture to my bath towels and even glassware - half my home could double up as a Dusk showroom.
I love the brand for its high-quality pieces that look far more expensive than they are, making it an easy (and affordable) way to give your home that elevated aesthetic without breaking the bank. I've got a couple of bedding sets from Dusk already, but this neutral gingham combo might just be my favourite.
The soft gingham print feels classic - something I know I'll keep coming back to season after season. Even better, it's currently on sale, down from £75 to £34 for a double. If you're after a light and lovely bedding upgrade with timeless appeal, this set is hard to beat.
Sizes: Double, king, super king
Material: Cotton
Pillowcases included? Yes
Habitat Cotton Paper Cut Leaf Pink Bedding Set - from £14
When it comes to stylish, affordable homeware, Habitat rarely misses - and its bedding range is no exception. If you're looking to update your bedroom without breaking the bank, this pink bedding set is a total steal at £18 for a double size.
There's a lot to rave about this set. For starters, it's made from 100% breathable cotton, which keeps things cool and comfortable. It's also reversible for a quick style refresh - ideal if you like to mix things up without investing in a second set.
Design-wise, the vibrant pink detailing is ideal for summer, adding an instant pop of colour to any space. The playful leaf motif has a relaxed, almost tropical feel, reminding me of a holiday villa. It's cheerful, bright and full of personality without being overwhelming.
The majority of shoppers love it, with one stating: "This didn't disappoint, great quality and value, it washes, and tumble dries well, and the print is bright and cheery." But another complained: "I ordered a super king, but the sizing does not match a super king size duvet."
Sizes: Single, double, king, super king
Material: Cotton
Pillowcases included? Yes
Multi Tufted Check Bedding Set - from £45
When you hear multi-coloured bedding, your mind might jump to something loud or overwhelming - but Next's set is proof that colour can be done with subtlety and style. It's bright, yes, but in a most laid-back, texture-rich way.
The design features a soft, tufted grid pattern in a rainbow of playful, bright colours, all set against a crisp, white background that keeps things feeling fresh and airy. The effect is joyful without being chaotic - it's the kind of bedding that lifts a room without overwhelming the entire scheme.
The gentle pops of colour will bring life to neutral or muted bedrooms, while the textured detailing will add depth and a bit of tactile interest. It's a brilliant option for those who want something a little more fun but still grown-up.
There aren't many online reviews of this set, although one person said: "Brilliant quality, looks amazing and absolutely worth the money." However, it's unfortunate the super king size is already out of stock.
Material: Cotton
Pillowcases included? Yes
The White Company Savoy Bedding - from £100
White bedding is always a classic - crisp, clean and effortlessly elegant, no matter the season. And if you're after a set that feels as luxurious as it looks, The White Company has you covered.
The brand's Savoy Egyptian Cotton Bedding is the perfect example of timeless style with a modern update. At first glance, the set fits the bill for hotel-inspired minimalism. But look closer, and you'll spot a soft blush pink trim running along the edges of the duvet and pillowcases - a barely-there detail that adds just the right amount of interest without overpowering the serene white base.
Meanwhile, the pillowcases (sold separately) bring that tailored, high-end finish with neat Oxford borders. Made from 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton, the Savoy set will feel incredible. Egyptian cotton is renowned for its exceptionally long fibres, which yield a smoother, more durable fabric that only becomes softer with each wash.
Most shoppers love this set, with one saying: "Lovely bedding with a smooth finish, looks fab and feels gorgeous to sleep in.." However, another chimed in: "The fabric feels quite thin."
Sizes: Single, double, king, super king
Material: Egyptian cotton
Pillowcases included? No
Feather & Black Cotton Jacquard Duvet Cover - from £119
Another luxe bedding pick is from Feather & Black, a British brand known for its elegant, timeless bedroom furniture and beautifully crafted linens. The pieces lean into quality materials, thoughtful design and a soft, understated colour palette that feels like a natural fit for tranquil spaces.
For my spring/summer refresh, I've gone for the Jacquard Set, and it's an instant favourite. Woven in Portugal, a country celebrated for its textile craftsmanship, the fabric feels lightweight yet high-quality, striking that balance between being breathable and cosy.
The cotton is super soft to the touch, and the subtle jacquard weave features delicate white dot stitching that runs across a gentle sage green background. My only concern is that the dotted pattern is quite difficult to see on the website, so please double-check if it's the right choice for you before making a purchase.
It looks especially good paired with my light wood Dusk bedside tables and a scalloped-edge rug from Dunelm I picked up earlier in the year - think soft, soothing tones and a bit of tonal layering.
Material: Cotton

Piglet in Bed Linen Bedding - from £39
Linen bedding is always a wise choice - it's not only temperature-regulating but also durable, breathable, and moisture-wicking, becoming softer with each wash. As a shopping writer, I've tried numerous linen sets, but I always return to one brand: Piglet in Bed.
Indeed, these sheets are an investment (a linen bundle starts from £237), but in my experience, the quality is unparalleled. Made in Portugal, Piglet's bedding is woven from a luxurious blend of European flax linen and long-staple cotton, providing that perfect balance of softness and structure.
Thoughtful details, such as coconut shell button fastenings, add charm, while the fabric feels soft, breathable, and incredibly comforting against the skin. They also wash beautifully - no shrinking, no stiffness, just increasingly lived-in luxury.
Every colour is beautifully muted and effortlessly stylish, too. The soothing Elderberry Stripe set is currently adorning my bed, adding a subtle statement to my room.
