The Best Scandinavian Bedding Brands

The best bedding should be comfortable, well-made and look good through multiple washings (because you do need to wash it occasionally, you know).

It should make you want to fall onto your mattress, and feel happy when the bed is made. While there are many bedding options, Nordic countries have a great selection of high-quality brands that are just begging to go to bed with you.

Hygge: we hear all the time. Candles, cosiness, warm cups of tea.

Let’s cut right to the chase, shall we? There’s nothing more hyggeligt than curling up under a fluffy duvet in your bed.

These are the best Scandinavian bedding brands that will keep you cosy in winter, cool in summer, and your bed looking chic all year round:

List Marker: Number 1Tekla Fabrics

Think of Tekla as the Old Celine of bedding; it’s minimalist, stylish, and the branding is really good.

Their colors, from a creamy yellow to a puffy pale pink, are everything you need to make your sleeping space a little slice of heaven. Their cotton and linen fabrics age well, so your bed will look fresh for a long time.

List Marker: Number 2Marimekko bedding

Known for their delightful, colorful textile patterns, Marimekko’s foray into bedding seems an obvious direction.
