Cotton
Cotton is a natural fibre derived from the seeds of the cotton plant. It is soft and fluffy and is commonly spun into yarn or thread to make a soft, breathable textile. Cotton is known for its comfort, durability, and versatility, making it a perfect choice for bed linen.
Cotton allows air to circulate, helping to keep you cool in summer and warm in the winter. Its moisture-absorbing properties help wick away sweat and keep you dry throughout the night. Cotton offers a soft and comfortable feel against the skin, making it ideal for a good night’s sleep.
It’s a durable fibre can withstand frequent washing without losing its softness or shape. Cotton bedding comes in various weaves and thread counts, allowing for different textures and finishes to suit personal preferences.
All our cotton bed linen is now responsibly sourced.
Organic Cotton
Using organic cotton has many benefits, including promoting soil health, reducing water usage, removing harmful chemicals, and supporting responsible farming practices.
Global Organic Textile Standard
We are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard, which certifies and tracks organically grown cotton from the source to final product.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain

Linen
It’s not a secret that we LOVE Linen. So we thought we’d list out all the reasons why:
Responsible Fibre
Lower Impact: Linen comes from flax, a plant that needs little water and promotes healthier soil and biodiversity, it requires fewer pesticides and fertiliser compared to other crops like cotton.
Biodegradable: Linen is a natural fibre and fully biodegradable, coming from and returning to nature.
Durability and Longevity
Strong Fibres: Linen is made from flax, which is one of the strongest natural fibres. This makes linen bedding highly durable and long-lasting.
Gets Better with Time: Linen becomes softer and more comfortable with each wash, enhancing its feel over time without losing strength.
Breathability and Temperature Regulation
Natural Temperature Regulation: Linen fibres allow for better airflow, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Moisture-Wicking: Linen naturally absorbs moisture without feeling damp, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the night.
Seasonal Adaptability: Linen’s natural insulating properties ensure comfort across different seasons, making it a versatile option for year-round use
Skin-Friendly
Linen is resistant to nasty things like bacteria and dust mites, making it an excellent choice for those with allergies or sensitive skin.
Hemp
Hemp is a highly impressive crop that requires minimal water, pesticides, and synthetic fertiliser to grow. It grows quickly and abundantly, supporting low impact agriculture practices. Its fibres are naturally breathable, allowing air to circulate and moisture to evaporate quickly. This makes it the perfect bedding for regulating body temperatures, keeping you cool in hot weather and warm in cooler temperatures, making sure you have a comfortable sleeping environment all year-round.
It is known for its strength and durability, withstanding regular use and washing without losing its shape but becoming softer with every wash, ensuring long lasting quality and comfort. If all these qualities aren’t enough, it has hypoallergenic properties.

Feathers & Down
We source our feathers and down through the Duntrack® Traceability Standard, a framework that guarantees transparency and traceability across the entire supply chain. This standard ensures that the feathers and down, which are by-products of the food industry, are responsibly sourced. Every stage, from the source to the final product, is audited and certified to maintain high accountability standards throughout the process.
- Ethical Treatment of Animals: The Duntrack® Traceability Standard ensures that down and feathers are sourced from suppliers that adhere to high standards of animal welfare. This includes preventing practices like live-plucking and force-feeding, promoting humane treatment throughout the supply chain. The feathers and down are a by-product of the food industry.
- Supply Chain Transparency: The standard requires detailed documentation and tracking of down and feathers from farm to finished product. This transparency helps verify that ethical and responsible practices are followed at each stage, providing accountability and traceability
- Environmental Impacts: The Duntrack® Traceability Standard promotes environmentally responsible practices in the sourcing and processing of down and feathers. This includes responsible farming practices, reducing environmental impact and improved waste management.
- Quality Assurance: By using this certification, we can be assured that the down and feathers used in our products meet specific quality criteria. Resulting in products that perform better and last longer.
We don’t just stop there with our bedding, the fabric used for casing our feather-filled products have been tested to check it complies with industry standards and has earned a NOMITE classification from the European Down and Feather Association (EDFA). This means the case is so tightly woven dust mites cannot penetrate the surface, making our feather and down bedding safe for allergy sufferers too.
Our bedding supplier is also a member of the European Down & Feather Association.
Wool
Our wool bedding range is made in Yorkshire and use only the finest and most carefully sourced 100% British wool.
Wool provides natural temperature regulation, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic comfort for a restful night's sleep.
Animal Welfare
Our animal welfare policy outlines our commitment to promoting the humane treatment of animals and ensuring that all our activities are aligned with ethical and responsible animal care practices.
Freedom from hunger and thirst
Animals must have access to clean water and a diet that meets their nutritional needs.
Freedom from discomfort
Animals must have a suitable environment to live in, including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
Freedom from pain, injury, and disease
Animals must be protected from physical and medical harm and provided with appropriate veterinary care.
Freedom to express normal behaviour
Animals must be allowed to engage in natural behaviours that are important for their well-being, such as social interaction and exercise.
Freedom from fear and distress
Animals must be protected from situations that cause them to experience anxiety, stress, or fear.
As a business, we take the well-being of animals seriously and recognize the importance of treating them with kindness, respect, and compassion. We use a few animal-derived products within our range which include goose and duck feathers, down and wool. We are committed to sourcing materials for our products where there is no risk to animal welfare, neither during the life of the animal nor during production.
We work alongside, and ask all suppliers to source raw materials from, suppliers with animals that have been raised, transported and slaughtered under established higher animal welfare standard where the Five Freedoms are practiced.
Synthetic Filling
Aerelle® Softflex
Aerelle® Softflex, found in our Big Softie, is a high-quality, soft, and flexible polyester fiberfill that provides a balance of comfort, support, and durability.

This project generates both social and environmental benefits in areas struggling with extreme poverty and plastic pollution by transforming waste plastic into a form of currency. This program allows people to exchange collected plastic for cash, goods, or essential services within their communities. The gathered plastic, known as Social Plastic®, is cleaned and recycled to produce Aerelle® Blue filling fibres.
Climarelle®
Climarelle®, found in our Keep Me Cool Duvet & Keep Me Cool Pillow Protector, is a specialized fibre technology designed to regulate temperature, providing enhanced thermal comfort in bedding and apparel. Made from microcapsules embedded in the fibres, Climarelle® absorbs, stores, and releases heat as needed to maintain a stable body temperature. This makes 100% Climarelle® materials especially effective for products aimed at improving sleep quality by adjusting to body temperature changes throughout the night, helping to prevent overheating or chills.
Dacron® Comforel®
Dacron® Comforel® is a premium synthetic fibrefill designed to mimic the softness, loft, and resilience of natural down. Made from small, uniform, fibre clusters, it provides excellent support and maintains its shape, making it popular for pillows, bedding, and upholstery.
