Seasonal Bedding Fabrics: Your Year-Round Guide to Better Sleep
Your bedroom should be a restful retreat, whatever the season. From fresh, breathable sheets in summer to cocooning comfort in winter, choosing the right fabric for the time of year can transform how you sleep—and how your space feels.
At Loomshire, we believe bedding should work in harmony with the seasons. Here's your ultimate guide to selecting the perfect fabric, whether you're keeping cool or warming up.
Spring & Summer: Light, Breathable and Cooling
As the temperature rises, lighter fabrics that allow your skin to breathe are essential for restful sleep. Look for moisture-wicking, airy materials that keep you fresh on even the warmest nights.
Bamboo

Naturally breathable and temperature-regulating

Silky-soft texture, ideal for hot sleepers

Hypoallergenic and sustainable
Linen

Exceptional airflow, ideal for humid climates

Relaxed texture with a casual elegance
-
Becomes softer with every wash
Cotton Percale
-
Crisp, lightweight and cool to the touch
-
Matte finish for a classic, hotel-style feel
-
Perfect for those who sleep warm year-round
Autumn & Winter: Warm, Cosy and Insulating
When the nights draw in and the chill sets in, your bedding should provide warmth and comfort without sacrificing breathability.
Cotton Flannel
-
Brushed for a fleecy, ultra-soft finish
-
Excellent heat retention

Sateen Weave Cotton

-

Jersey Knit

Soft and stretchy, with the feel of your favourite T-shirt
-
Naturally warm and casual
-
Great for relaxed, cosy bedrooms
All-Season Bedding: The Best of Both Worlds
Prefer not to switch your sheets with the weather? Some fabrics adapt beautifully throughout the year, offering comfort in both warm and cool conditions.
Top Picks:
-
Bamboo Lyocell – Moisture-wicking, breathable, and thermoregulating
-
High Thread Count Cotton Sateen – Slightly weightier, yet breathable
-
Linen Blends – Durable, versatile, and easy to layer
Loomshire tip: In the transitional months—spring and autumn—opt for light layers. Pair breathable sheets with a mid-weight quilt or blanket that can be added or removed with ease.
Things to Consider When Choosing Seasonal Bedding
-
Climate: Is your home naturally warm or prone to chilly nights?
-
Sleep Style: Do you tend to sleep hot or cold?
-
Aesthetic: Crisp and fresh or warm and cocooning?
-
Care Routine: Some fabrics, like linen or bamboo, need more delicate handling
