Winter Bedding Guide

Winter calls for warm, insulating materials that keep you snug even on the coldest nights. Here is what you need for the perfect winter bed:

  • Flannel Sheets: Flannel is a winter staple for good reason. Made from brushed cotton, flannel sheets are incredibly soft and provide excellent insulation without feeling too heavy. They keep you warm without overheating, making them perfect for a cozy night’s sleep. Explore our Organic Flannel Sheets Collection for the coziest winter sheets.
  • Best Duvet Inserts: When it comes to duvet inserts, winter is the time to opt for the heaviest and warmest options available. Our Takasa Organic Cotton and Canadian Down Duvet Insert in the "Great North Warmth" option provides exceptional insulation, perfect for cold climates. For those who prefer wool, our Takasa Organic Cotton and Wool Duvet Insert also offers the "Great North Warmth" option, combining breathability with warmth.
  • Additional Layer: For those extra chilly nights, consider adding a second layer with our Icon Quilted Organic Cotton Comforter Set. This lightweight yet warm comforter adds an extra layer of insulation without weighing you down.
  • Additional Tips: Complete your winter bed with thermal blankets and throws for added warmth and comfort.

Summer Bedding Guide

Summer demands bedding that breathes well and keeps you cool, even on the hottest nights. Here is how to prepare your bed for summer:

  • Percale Sheets: Known for their crisp and cool feel, percale sheets are ideal for hot weather. Made from closely woven cotton, percale sheets are lightweight and breathable, ensuring you stay cool throughout the night. Check out our Organic Percale Sheets Collection for the best summer sheets.
  • Best Duvet Inserts: For summer, you will want to switch to a lightweight duvet insert. Our Takasa Organic Cotton and Canadian Down Duvet Insert in the "Summer" option is perfect for warmer climates, offering just the right amount of coverage without overheating. Alternatively, our Takasa Organic Cotton and Wool Duvet Insert in the "Summer" option provides similar benefits with the added breathability of wool.
  • Lightweight Cover: Our Icon Quilted Organic Cotton Comforter Set also serves as a great lightweight cover for summer, offering breathable comfort without excess weight.

Spring and Fall Bedding Guide

Spring and fall are transitional seasons that require bedding that can adapt to fluctuating temperatures. Here is what works best:

  • Sateen Sheets: Sateen sheets offer a smooth and luxurious feel, slightly heavier than percale but still breathable enough for spring and fall. They provide the perfect balance of warmth and comfort. Browse our Organic Sateen Sheets Collection for versatile bedding options.
  • Best Duvet Inserts: For these seasons, medium-weight duvet inserts are ideal. Our Takasa Organic Cotton and Canadian Down Duvet Insert in the "Perfect Comfort/3-Season" option offers the right amount of warmth without overheating. Similarly, our Takasa Organic Cotton and Wool Duvet Insert in the "Perfect Comfort/3-Season" option is perfect for maintaining comfort during these transitional months.

Year-Round Bedding Solutions

Achieving year-round comfort is simple when you adjust your layers according to the season. In winter, start with a set of Organic Sateen Sheets for warmth, or Organic Percale Sheets if you prefer a cooler touch. Add our Icon Quilted Organic Cotton Comforter Set for versatile comfort, and top it off with a Perfect Comfort Duvet. When summer comes, simply remove the duvet insert and sleep under the lightweight comforter, with the duvet folded at the foot of the bed for easy access on cooler nights.
