The easiest way to find the type of Dunelm bedding you’re after is to use the filter tool on the Dunelm website. 💻
Here is an example below:
Alternatively, you’ll find a dedicated Dunelm bedding section if you visit a Dunelm store.
Each aisle is separated by mattress protectors, toppers, duvets, and so on.
Whilst the bedding section was pretty well organised when we visited the Dartford store, some parts of the store were cluttered, making it difficult to look around.
We expected the store to have a cosy feel, but it lacked the warmth and homeliness we had anticipated.
Nonetheless, we had a good look around at all the Dunelm bedding so we can share it all with you.
Dunelm bedding materials
Dunelm bedding is made from either natural or synthetic fibres.
Before you decide on the type of Dunelm bedding you need, you must first consider the benefits of each kind of material.
We’ll break down the pros and cons of each below. 👇
Dunelm synthetic bedding
Synthetic bedding comes from manufactured fibres.
This includes Dunelm fleece bedding, polyester, velvet, viscose and acrylic.
Synthetic Dunelm duvets usually have hollowfibre [1] or microfibre fillings.
Microfibre is tightly woven, which is excellent for trapping heat and keeping you cosy during the winter.
Alternatively, hollowfibre is lighter and much more breathable, with spaces between the fibres.
Hollowfibre is also slightly cheaper than microfibre.
Synthetic Dunelm bedding is generally cheaper than natural fibre bedding.
It's also hypoallergenic and easy to wash, making it a great option for allergy sufferers. 🤧
However, some synthetic bedding may feel cheap and harsh on sensitive skin.
Dunelm natural bedding
Dunelm has a variety of bedding made from naturally-sourced fibres. 🌱
Amongst the most popular is Dunelm cotton bedding, including Egyptian and brushed cotton.
Dunelm duvets usually have a cotton or bamboo outer cover with wool filling.
Natural bedding tends to be more expensive but is highly breathable and can absorb moisture. 💦
Dunelm bedding made with natural fibres will likely last you much longer and feel softer and gentler on the skin.
You can also get Dunelm polycotton bedding.
This blend of natural and synthetic bedding gives you some of the benefits of natural bedding at a more affordable price. 💰
Which bedding brand is the best?
Dunelm is known for selling a selection of own-brand bedding as well as a wide range of bedding from other manufacturers.
These brands include:
- Dunelm Dorma bedding UK
- Dunelm Furn bedding
- Dunelm Winchester bedding
- Dunelm Catherine Lansfield bedding
- Dunelm Fogarty bedding
Dunelm has also worked with celebrity brands, such as Holly Willoughby, who has a selection of sheets and duvet covers in white and floral patterns. 💮
Likewise, the Dorma collection is a staple part of the Dunelm range.
But there’s no “best brand” per se. 🤔
Instead, we’d advise you to pay attention to the materials, quality, and price of the bedding you buy.
There are also other online bedding brands that you could consider.
These are our favourite online bedding retailers:
The Fine Bedding Company
The Fine Bedding Company sells dozens of bedding products and some of the best duvets around.
Panda London
Panda is our go-to sleep accessories brand with cuddly bamboo products and a hybrid mattress.
Dunelm bedding buying guide
There are all kinds of decisions to make when choosing your bedding set, from thread count to sheet style. 🤯
We’ll help you decide on each one below.
Flat sheet vs fitted sheet
A flat sheet is the more traditional type of set.
This is a simple rectangle that must be tucked under the mattress.
This is great for those who want that crisp “hotel look”, but it does take a bit of extra work to make the bed.
On the other hand, fitted sheets have elasticated corners, making them fit onto the bed easily. 🤗
However, they are a pain to fold away and can look untidy in the cupboard.
If you're struggling to fold a fitted sheet, try this tutorial:
Thread count
Thread count refers to how many threads have been woven into the fabric and how tightly woven this makes it.
Thread counts range from 200 onwards, but this also depends on the particular material and weave.
Percale, sateen, and twill are all types of fabric weaves, each characterised by a distinct pattern of interlacing yarns that result in different textures, appearances, and characteristics.
For example, you may find a cotton sateen plain sheet with a thread count of up to 600, whilst the highest for Egyptian cotton is 400 thread count percale. 🧵
Typically, the higher the thread count, the more expensive the bedding collection, but it will also be of a higher quality.
But the quality of yarn and weave should also be considered.
Housewife vs Oxford pillowcase
You might be surprised to learn that pillowcases also come in different styles.
The Housewife pillowcase is the “standard” as it is the most widely used in the UK. ✔️
It has a simple design with a flap that tucks over the gap to secure the pillow.
Alternatively, the Oxford pillowcase has a more embellished design with a wide-stitched hem around the edge.
Oxford pillowcases give the pillow a fluffier and fuller look and are a great choice for those who want the bed to have an elegant look. ✨
Other brands offer a variety of pillowcases, including designs that feature zipper closures or other innovative styles.
You can buy single pillowcases or a pillowcase set with sheets at Dunelm.
Dunelm has a great selection of pillowcase pairs in both the Housewife and Oxford styles.
But it’s not just Dunelm that has a great pillowcase selection.

What Dunelm duvet cover should you buy?
You may consider a new Dunelm duvet covet set.
Like sheet sets, Dunelm duvet covers vary in quality depending on the material, brand, and manufacturing process.
The Dunelm duvet cover range is vast, from the budget-friendly Fogarty soft-touch duvet cover to a luxury pure cotton reversible duvet cover.
The duvet cover you should buy needs to be suitable for your lifestyle. 🥰
Some of the most popular Dunelm duvet cover brands include Dorma, Fogarty, Appletree and Catherine Lansfield.
Dunelm duvet cover sets come in various styles, patterns, and materials.
Consider the following criteria before buying a duvet cover:
- What size do I need?
- What is my maximum budget?
- What style is my bedroom?
- Do I want a statement piece or something that blends in?
- Should I choose a synthetic or natural duvet cover?
- Do I want a reversible duvet cover?
Once you have figured out exactly what you need, this will help narrow down your options.
You can then filter your search by size, style, material, etc., so you don’t have to spend time looking at products that aren’t suitable.
Having the perfect duvet cover also means pairing it with the perfect duvet.

But what about duvet cover sizes? 👇
Dunelm duvet cover sizes
You don’t necessarily need the duvet size to match your bed.
Choosing a duvet above your mattress's size creates that full “hotel look”, with the duvet draping over the bed for a luxury statement.
Dunelm duvets come in the following sizes:
We highly recommend checking your size before ordering, as you might not be able to get a refund if you make a mistake. 😱
How much does Dunelm bedding cost?
As the Dunelm bedding selection is huge, it will be no surprise to learn that the prices vary. ⚖️
Dunelm bedding & duvet sets range from £6 - £380.
There will be quality differences depending on how much you spend.
For the cheapest Dunelm bedding, you can expect synthetic fibres that likely won’t last too long after frequent washing. 🧼
Higher-quality bedding is made from natural materials such as Egyptian cotton, Tencel, or bamboo.
Luxury Dunelm bedding will also have a high thread count, be gentler on the skin, and last through multiple washes.
Therefore, you should always go for the best quality you can afford.
A £6 set that has to be replaced every month will be more expensive than a £100 set that lasts for years.
Dunelm bedding discount codes

Dunelm bedding delivery & returns
Dunelm bedding comes with free standard delivery when you spend over a minimum amount.
If your order basket is under a minimum amount, you’ll be charged a small fee for delivery.
How long your order takes depends on the specific product you buy.
However, bedding normally arrives fairly fast and should be with you between the next day to a week.
You can also opt for express delivery for an additional cost, which will arrive the next working day (excluding weekends). 🚚💨
You’ll get an update via text message from your designated courier with more details about when to expect your delivery.
Can you take bedding back to Dunelm?
You can take your bedding back to Dunelm within 28 days of purchasing.
However, you must keep your proof of purchase, and the item must be unopened, with all the packaging and tags intact. 🏷️
Unfortunately, Dunelm does not offer sleep trials on its bedding products. 👎
We love sleep trials because they allow you to test the product thoroughly.
Some of our favourite bedding brands, such as Aeyla and Panda, offer trials on their bedding and pillows.
And if you don’t get on with it, you can send it back.
Dunelm sells brands that offer sleep trials, but not through the Dunelm store.
For example, you can buy the Panda Bamboo bedding set at Panda London for the same price as Dunelm, including a 30-night sleep trial and a 1-year guarantee.
We recommend looking into bedding with money-back sleep trials if you're indecisive.

Dunelm bedding complaints
We looked at real customer reviews on Trustpilot to determine if Dunelm is good value.
Dunelm has a 3.1/5 score on Trustpilot.
But how does that compare with other shops? 🤔
Dunelm is averaging somewhere in the middle, along with Wilko.
Their reputation isn’t as great as Dreams on TrustPilot, but they’re still getting much more positive feedback than John Lewis.
Overall the reviews regarding the quality of the products are very positive. ✅
Many customers agree it is good value, and most complaints focus on delivery issues and late orders.
However, some customers at Mumsnet regard Dunelm as inferior to John Lewis.
Is Dunelm good quality?
Customers have complained that the quality of Dunelm bedding used to be good but is now overpriced and at a similar standard as Wilko, which is considerably cheaper. 👎
From our experience shopping at Dunelm, the quality varies depending on the product.
Some of Dunelm's bedding is more premium, while the cheaper Dunelm bedding sets will lose quality after a few washes.
We’d also agree with a comment that the store has a cold, warehouse-like feel.
It is also somewhat disorganised, and we found using the website much more accessible.
We thought the quality of Dunelm bedding was good, but it’s a fair assessment that some products were overpriced. 💰
If you’re unsure, it may be worth visiting a Dunelm store and looking closely at the Dunelm bedding range.
Buying bedding can be subjective, as everyone has different expectations regarding quality.
Should I buy Dunelm bedding?
Overall, Dunelm has a wide variety of bedding products available, no matter your pay grade. ✅
Yet, there are certainly some better online competitors that have sleep trials to give you full peace of mind.
Other brick-and-mortar stores like John Lewis, Dreams, and Argos may be better value for the quality.
We advise you also to consider your size, material, quality and budget preferences.

How do I know if my bedding is good quality?
You can check the quality of your bedding by looking at the thread count and type of material.
Natural fibres tend to be of higher quality compared to synthetic fibre bedding.
