Bedding is always a personal matter, but sometimes we find ourselves wanting to consult the design experts themselves with the best sheets, comforters, and pillows they select over and over again for their clients, and even their homes.
So we asked eight interior designers about their favorite bedding brands, offering a mix of high-end and mainstream options. White bedding always seems to reign supreme, accented with a touch of detail. Interior designers today are looking for organic fabrics, and there also seems to be a preference for airy, breathable linen.
Don’t be too surprised if their favorites give you great bedroom ideas… best of all, we now know exactly where to find interior designers’ favorite bedding.

“We love using Coyuchi bedding, seen here in our Lowry Hill project. It has great hand and quality. We also used a leftover rug as lumbar support, which is a fun way to add texture and motifs.”

“I designed the lake house around the concept of ‘elevated camp vibes’ which meant that a gingham print had to be involved. This duvet cover was all I was looking for, and it became my bedding we’ve ever owned – period.Linen is that perfect texture to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.And the buttons at the bottom are covered in the same linen for a seamless look.Color wise , mink is almost a soft mauve-taupe that transitions beautifully from season to season.
“I’m notoriously picky about sheets and really did my homework before choosing this particular set. They’re organic cotton with a satin finish and feature the softest pale blue scalloped edge. I love the way they dry perfectly smooth, and I never need to squeeze when I remember to get them out of the dryer quickly.”

“I think overall bedding should be simple and classic with a touch of a wow factor. Our choice for main bedding is something linen ladies where we work with Caroline Davis, who guides us on the style and product that best suits the space; as a classic chain link or lattice trim embroidered or appliquéd on a sheet of white cotton percale [as seen on this Matouk bedding]. Always white for us! For our wow factor, we make either custom European shams or a large lumbar pillow from a patterned fabric that complements the design.

“I like a white bed, and for my master bedroom I wanted the to see be calm and quiet, even if it’s noisy and chaotic, in reality. I’ve always wanted to try linen sheets and finally made the switch, and so glad I did! I’ve always loved the effortless look of linen and now I can vouch for the feel of linen. I may never come back. When I was looking for new bedding, I went straight to Cultiver. It was exactly what I had in mind. Effortless, chic and of incredible quality.”

“In our company, we like to use bedding from Signoria Firenze, a beautiful Italian bedding brand. I strongly believe in making your bed every day and making it easy to make. I like to layer our beds the way of a hotel, with a bedspread (blanket) and a fluffy comforter folded at the foot of the bed. It’s super easy to do! Just pull the bedspread all the way up to hide the wrinkled sheets. Then , fold the bedspread over the foot of the bed. Instead of a pile of pillows, I like a large lumbar pillow placed in front of the sleeping pillows.”

“One of our go-to bedding brands is Lili Alessandra! The brand is known for having a strong artistic vision that aligns with our ethos and approach at Murphy Maude. They have an extensive catalog of products ranging from modern designs to traditional designs, but each piece is still steeped in elegance and opulence, so there’s something for everyone. Silk & Sensibility bedding collection in this room; the silk/polyester blend allows for a luxurious yet practical option.”
