How to Choose the Right Bedding for Each Season
Our carefully curated collection of luxurious bedding and bed linen ensures a comfortable night’s sleep all year. From temperature-regulating Egyptian Giza cotton and organic linen to naturally warm cashmere and goose down, learn how to choose the right bedding according to the seasons.
Creating a calming sleep environment at home is perhaps one of the most important things you can do for your health and well-being. Choosing the right bedding can transform your bedroom into a place you look forward to returning to every night. And even though some bedding, especially pillows, works year-round, it’s important to adapt the rest of your bedding to the season to prevent overheating. Especially if you live in a part of the world with significant year-round temperature fluctuations.
There are many elements to consider when choosing your bedding and bed linen, such as finding the best fillings, thread count, and texture. Our guide is designed to help you choose the key features so that you can wake up rested and revived all year long.

Spring & Summer Bedding
As temperatures rise, your bedding should provide a refreshing escape from the heat. During spring and summer, it’s important to focus on lightweight bedding that regulates your temperature and wicks moisture away from your body. Then pair it with equally breathable sheets, which can further help provide a cooling surface to drift off on.
Organic Linen & Silk Pairing
Linen, the most breathable of all materials, is the ultimate choice for warmer nights, especially if you often overheat. Our organic linen sheets are made from 100% flax, which helps regulate your body temperature and keep you cool throughout the night. When paired with our lightweight silk duvet, it offers the perfect marriage of lightweight materials and natural breathability.
Our range includes two different sets of linen sheets, so that you can choose the feel that suits you best. The pure organic linen set features a soft texture that is the signature of natural linen. Perfectly cooling, the set is available in a classic white tone with a Cambridge-style finish. And for those with a penchant for linen but not its relaxed feel, our herringbone collection offers a more structured, weighty linen. Available in two colours – white and calming oat, both of which add a refined, elegant touch to your bedroom.
To initiate sleep, we ideally want a cool body temperature. The drop in your body temperature is associated with sleep onset. We can facilitate this by creating a cool sleeping environment.

Lightweight Down Layer
While down might not be the first material that comes to mind when considering summer bedding, a low-tog duvet made from natural down fibres is lightweight and incredibly comfortable. Our Hungarian goose-down and feather duvet in 4.5 tog is perfect for warmer nights, or even early autumn evenings, for those who sleep on the warmer side. When paired with down pillows, your bedding will feel sumptuous and comfortable, while keeping your temperature on the cooler side.
Crisp Percale Sheets
The weave of percale cotton allows for excellent airflow, providing unparalleled comfort even on the warmest of nights. Cool and crisp, ourDrift collectionis made in Europe using the finest extra-long-staple fibres of this exquisite cotton. Available in Egyptian Giza 87 cotton, which is considered to be the best in the world, these sheets are akin to those you’ll find in the finest hotels. With an Oxford or Cambridge finish, they perfectly elevate your bedroom while keeping your temperature regulated all night long.
Protective Cooling
Often overlooked, mattress protectors can improve the quality of your rest and protect your mattress and topper. Our selection offers two luxurious options. The first, our Climate Control protector, is filled with natural Tencel fibres, which have exceptional moisture-wicking properties that help temperature regulation. Alternatively, for an all-year-round option, you can choose our pure cotton mattress protector, made from 100% cotton and easy to care for. It’ll enhance the quality of your sleep by helping to disperse moisture, and also extend the life of your bed.
Autumn & Winter Bedding and Linen
The chill of colder nights calls for bedding that provides comfort and warmth. At Savoir, we favour natural materials, such as down, because of their unique and versatile properties. While incredibly breathable, down and feathers also offer unparalleled warmth and insulation. Our duvets and pillows are made in Europe, using the finest fibres from Canada, Hungary, and Siberia. Combined with soft and luxurious sheets, you’ll create a bed that cocoons you to sleep each night.
Luxurious Duvets
Our 100% Siberian goose-down duvet offers incredible comfort in a choice of tog ratings. The highest, tog 12, is the perfect choice for cool winter nights. As one of the world’s finest natural fillings, the large, lofty fibres make the duvet feel light and airy whilst providing exceptional warmth and insulation.
Luxurious and decadent, our cashmere duvet is made with 70% natural Himalayan cashmere and 30% pure wool. Wonderfully light and soft against the body, it provides excellent insulation and temperature regulation. Available in tog 10.5 and 12, both perfect for autumn and winter.
