A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Linens for Each Season
The bedroom is a sanctuary – a place to rest and restore at the close of each day. The linens we choose to sleep in play a quiet but significant role in the quality of that rest; regulating temperature, responding to our body and creating the right conditions for a peaceful night’s sleep. Naturally, as the seasons shift, so too should our sheets.
Here, we guide you through the Peter Reed collections best suited to each stage of the year – each one crafted from luxurious materials sourced from Italy and hand-finished by our team at Butterworth Mill – to ensure you’re well rested no matter the season.
Breathable Bedding for Spring
As winter bids its farewell and the weather begins to brighten, there’s no better time for a seasonal refresh – the opportunity to remove the layers of winter and welcome the lightness of spring. Our Organic Hemstitch Percale Collection is the ideal companion for this transitional moment. Medium in weight and wonderfully breathable, the percale linens within this collection signal the lightness of spring while retaining the warmth needed for those occasional cooler evenings. For something more characterful, discover our Fleur Collection, which is a delightful ode to spring. Choose from three uplifting colourways that bring the warmth of the season indoors.
Cooling Summer Sheets
Come summertime, sleeping in the coolest, most breathable sheets becomes a priority. Our trusted Organic Hemstitch Percale linens are, once again, the perfect choice to carry you naturally from spring to summer. Made from 100% organic cotton, these crisp linens are as breathable as they are comforting, allowing for a restful night’s sleep no matter the temperature outside. Warm weather favourites with good reason. Alternatively, the 2 Row Classic Cord collection on double-width sateen fabric is a smooth, elegant option for the warmer months.
Embracing the Arrival of Autumn
As the leaves fall and the temperature follows suit, the time comes to move into linens that are a little more snug. Our Organic Hemstitch Sateen is a fabulous option – soft, silky and luxurious. For those who prefer a bolder design, look towards the Morgan collection with its distinctive wave trim. Choose from four elegant thread colours in keeping with the season, from rich pastique to classic anthracite.
Insulating Winter Linens and Layering
Winter is a season to indulge, to cocoon yourself in layers of linens and throws. Try our signature 3 Row Classic Cord sateen bedding, a longstanding favourite loved for its soft, warming and luxurious feel. Or if you prefer slightly heavier weight winter linens, discover our signature 4 Row Percale collection. For something that brings greater depth and texture to your bedroom, our Organic Hemstitch Linen collection is a staple for cold winter nights. A heavyweight linen made from the flax plant, a naturally recyclable fibre, it is known to insulate and retain warmth against lower temperatures. And to transform the bedroom into a true retreat, our Torcello throw and cushions are the perfect finishing touches. Torcello’s bold, chunky weave instantly adds a sense of intimacy and warmth to a space.
