If you have a king sized bed, you’ll know what it’s like to sleep in comfort. Take this to the next level by adding high-quality, king size bedding to keep you warm and snug while you sleep.

What are the different types of king size bedding?

The days of a simple duvet and pillow are long gone, now there’s a lot more to consider when it comes to bedding for your king size bed. But, this should feel exciting rather than daunting. Here are the different types of bedding to consider.

King size duvets

Your duvet is arguably as important as your mattress, providing the right amount of warmth, comfort and coverage to enable a good night’s sleep. King size duvets measure 225cm x 220cm, giving you enough coverage over a king mattress. Many people who have a double bed and double mattress also opt for a king duvet as it fully covers the bed and ensures you aren’t left fighting for the duvet during the night.

Duvets for king size beds come in many different styles. All the styles on offer at Dreams are extremely high quality, so it just comes down to preference and budget when choosing yours. The filling and cover are the most important things to consider.

• Hollowfibre - This is the most common and accessible style of duvet filling. Most hollow fibre king duvets are washable, meaning they’re super easy to care for and perfect for those with children and pets. They can come with stain resistant covers for added protection.
• Anti-allergy - Filled with special anti-allergy fib res, these duvets prevent allergic reactions and help to keep your sleep space hygienic. If you suffer from irritations, one of these duvets would be a fantastic investment.
• Cooling - There’s nothing worse than being hot and bothered in bed, which is why TheraPur have invented a duvet that helps maintain that cool feeling al l night. It is filled with Quadfill fibres that regulate temperature and encourage airflow. The cover is made from 100% cotton percale which wicks away moisture from the body. This is the perfect king size duvet for summer months.
• Duck feather & down - Often thought of as the most luxurious of bedding fillings, duck feather or duck down is known for keeping its shape and being a long-lasting fibre i n bedding. It’s extremely warm, comfortable and soft, ensuring a peaceful sleep. Our Flaxby duck feather & down king duvets have down-proof covers so you won’t get any feathers poking through. These duvets are ideal for most homes except those who have allergies to feathers.
• Just like down - If, like we’ve mentioned, you do have an allergy to feathers or live a vegan lifestyle but would love to have the same feel of a duck feather & down duvet, you’re in luck. Doze have created a king sized duvet that feels exactly like the real thing but is hypoallergenic and made with polyester filling. The cover is 100% pure cotton – ideal for regulating temperature and keeping you comfortable while you sleep.

King size duvet covers

Duvet covers fit like a glove over your duvet to enhance your comfort and keep your duvet clean. King size duvet covers are available at Dreams, with pillow cases bought separately. Whether you choose plain cotton for a fresh, boutique hotel vibe or brushed cotton for a cosier, country cottage aesthetic, the quality is unrivalled. Styles available include white, cream and grey bedding. These neutral colours will look stunning with almost all décor styles.

King size bed sheets

King bed sheets work to protect your mattress and provide a smooth surface to sleep on. Fitted sheets have elastic on each corner which stretches around your mattress and creates an even surface, allowing you to jump into bed every night without having to fix your sheet. Making the bed can be particularly tricky with king size mattresses, as they are so big, so having this feature ensures you don’t have to do it every morning. These are available in easy-care styles which can be washed and dried without ironing, anti-allergy which protects against allergens, cool fitted sheets which regulate your temperature and brushed cotton which is soft and luxurious.

Pleated valances are also available in white. These cover your divan base to ensure a sleek, finished look to your bedroom and hide any drawers.

King size mattress toppers

Just in case your bed wasn’t plush enough, a king size mattress topper will add an extra slice of comfort. King memory foam mattress toppers provide the support and comfort that memory foam offers on top of your usual supportive mattress. If you don’t want to commit to a full memory foam mattress, but like the feeling of it, this is the perfect compromise. Our TheraPur cooling topper has a soft and firm side and is also made from memory foam. Its cooling Outlast fabric cover is designed to regulate your temperature, keeping you cool throughout the night to ensure you don’t wake up feeling hot and bothered. This would be a brilliant addition for pregnant ladies or new mums experiencing temperature fluctuations.

King size mattress protectors

Mattress protectors do exactly what they say on the tin – they work to keep your mattress in the best possible condition. These can come with waterproof fabrics in case of spills or accidents during the night. If you often have small children that join you of an evening, a king size waterproof mattress protector might be a good idea! Even if you don’t have children or pets, having a mattress protector increases the lifespan of your mattress by keeping it clean. Plus, it’s a lot easier, and cheaper, to replace your mattress protector than your mattress.
