We spend a lot of time snuggled up in our beds, one third of our lives to be exact! Within this interior style blog, I help you create the perfect sleep sanctuary that reflects your style and your snooze. So, let’s dive in to…’The Ultimate Bedding Buying Guide’…zZzZz.
If you’ve ever wondered what bedding is best to make the perfect bed, or what’s the difference between an Oxford pillowcase and a Housewife?….Below, I explain the differences to help you create a beautiful bedding set that you’ll be able to enjoy for years to come.
The bedding basics…
What is thread count??
Essentially, it’s the number of threads both vertically and horizontally in a square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count the more luxurious and durable the sheets.

Pillow Talk…
Different sizes and style pillows add an extra nod of luxury to your bedding set, but with so many possible layers and arrangements, what are the different size pillowcases? And how do you arrange pillows on the bed to look great and feel comfortable?
Below explains; what different style pillows look like, what size pillows to use within pillowcases and also links to this beautiful bedding featured in the images.
Square Pillowcase
65cm x 65cm.
These require a 65cm x 65cm filler cushion/pillow. Square pillows create a beautiful backdrop.
Oxford Pillowcase
50cm x 75cm (Border approx 5cm). Again, a normal pillow will fit within.

50cm x 75cm. A normal size pillow will fit within.

The option to change with the season or your mood, without having to invest in new bedding can be fun and simple to do.
