The best duvet covers to transform your bedroom into a luxury hotel

• Made from: Cotton
• Colours: White
• Sizes: Single, Double, King, Super King, Emperor
• Honest opinions: Controversial but we'd say this is better than the sheets in most hotels we've stayed in.

Aptly named after one of the most iconic hotels in London, the Savoy collection is all about hotel-style bedding; nothing more and nothing less. It’s sleek and simple, but everything it does, it does to the absolute max. What we’d say is most impressive is the smoothness of the cotton, a 400 thread weave that’s so soft to the touch you’ll not be struggling to drift off. And the design looks the part, too, available in a pure white finish, or with a mink, navy or silver bordering that adds a subtle touch of colour for an elegant, and ultra elevated vibe. From £100.

• Made from: Egyptian cotton
• Colours: 12+
• Sizes: Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: John Lewis has never failed us in the bedding department and we'd say it regularly beats out some of its luxury competitors for half the price.

If you want a guest bedroom (or your own) to really impress, a smooth, silky duvet cover is the way forward. Made from Egyptian cotton and with a thread count of 400, this one feels luxurious to the touch and works for year-round use. It also comes in a multitude of colours to complement a range of interiors. From £28. At johnlewis.com

• Made from: 100% cotton percale
• Colours: 23
• Sizes: Single, Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: Piglet in Bed has some of the best bedding there is, full stop.

If we could pick our favourite duvet cover design of 2024, it would have to be this one from Piglet in Bed. Taking a classic blue pinstripe shirt pattern and incorporating it into a cotton duvet cover, this is giving off relaxed, effortless style that’s impeccably chic. It’s so simple, yet so fun. From £79. At pigletinbed.com

• Made from: 100% cotton
• Colours: 2
• Sizes: Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: This is one of our favourite sets from Dusk as it's lightweight and nicely textured for summer.

If we're being honest, its the colour of this Dusk duvet cover set that's really captured our attention here. Available in a muted green and pink shade, it's perfect for the transitional period into summer, as well as bringing some extra colour to your life during the warmer months of the year. And made from 100 per cent cotton, it has a lightweight feel that's also breathable and cooling. From £50. At dusk.com

• Made from: 55% French linen, 45% cotton
• Colours: 1
• Sizes: Single, Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: We don't really have anything negative to say about this one. It's soft and a real aesthetic winner.

We love the simplicity of the pinstripe design Soak & Sleep has gone for here, bringing a bit more excitement to the table than a plain white duvet cover would, but without being too dramatic. The linen and cotton blend is great for all-season use, keeping you cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. It feels lightweight and breathable, and softer than plenty of other linen options. From £75 £55. At soakandsleep.com

• Made from: Linen
• Colours: 25
• Sizes: Single, Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: We love a coloured duvet cover and this peacock blue is one of our favourite shades right now

If you’d rather your room feel more like yours than a hotel, opting for a darker, colourful shade of bedding can be a great way to add a bit of personality to your space. We personally love this set from AM.PM on La Redoute, especially in the calming peacock blue shade that’s giving all of the tranquil vibes we want in the bedroom. Made from 100 per cent linen, it’s a very versatile duvet cover as well, being breathable and lightweight in the summer, while also warming and temperature regulating in the winter. Pair it with a matching fitted sheet and pillowcases and you’re good to go. £69. At laredoute.co.uk

• Made from: 70% viscose from bamboo, 30% linen
• Colours: 2
• Sizes: Twin, Queen, King
• Honest opinions: While it is a bit annoying this is only in American sizes, it’s such a soft duvet cover that we’re willing to deal with the extra fabric

We’re personally huge fans of Cozy Earth here at GQ and we have to say, it’s easily some of the softest bedding we’ve found in our time reviewing duvet covers. While the brand’s classic duvet cover set is made from a combination of bamboo and viscose, it now also has a linen bamboo range, adding 30 per cent linen to its classic fabric to help with extra breathability and temperature regulation. The only downside here? Coming from the US, you’ll have to shop in American duvet sizes - we’d recommend sizing up to be safe and just enjoying the extra material. £171. At cozyearth.com

• Made from: 100% cotton
• Colours: 1
• Sizes: Single, Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: Gingham isn't for everyone, but we're fully on board with this trend. Just keep in mind how it will go with the rest of the colours in your space.

Gingham has been trending for the past year or so and we'd say it's best incorporated into your home via your bedding. Bright and cheerful, this set from La Redoute is giving farmhouse vibes, perfect for capturing that holiday aesthetic at home during the summer months. It's also made from 100 per cent cotton to keep you cool when it gets really hot. From £65. At laredoute.co.uk

• Made from: Unique Stratos fabric
• Colours: 1
• Sizes: Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: This fabric is far more cooling than it is soft, but if that's your main goal, you'll be nice and comfortable overnight.

Not just your standard set of white bedding. Known for its innovative design approach, ‘standard’ is never a word used to describe Simba. Thread count and weave aside, it's the inclusion of the brand's Stratos temperature regulating fabric that takes this set to new heights, absorbing, storing and regulating heat while you sleep to keep you at the optimal temperature. Simba claims it transfers body heat up to 50 per cent faster than regular cotton sheets, and having tried them ourselves, we can vouch for that. From £90 £40. At simbasleep.com

• Made from: Cotton
• Colours: White
• Sizes: Double, King, Super King, Emperor
• Honest opinions: There's nothing to say here other than this bedding is impeccably soft. It might be expensive, but it's worth it.

One of the brand’s more luxurious sets, the Pembridge Supima has a cotton sateen finish, keeping your bed feeling cool and smooth, while also adding an extra touch of elegance to the overall look of the duvet cover.

And with prices starting at less than £40, it’s hard to say no. From £68 £15. At dusk.com

• Colours: 7
• Sizes: Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: If you're looking for luxury, this silk duvet from Soak & Silk is gorgeous, giving off serious silky vibes and it's great for skin and hair. Get us back to bed.

There are few materials that ooze luxury quite like silk does, so if you put it on your bed, you can pretty much guarantee yourself a dreamy night's sleep. The colour choice is great, the lustrous satin weave made from 100 per cent 19 momme pure mulberry silk feels amazing on your skin and its temperature regulating too so great for summer. To top it off, silk is good for both your hair and skin, and it's hypoallergenic too. We can't get enough. From £60. At soakandsleep.com

• Sizes: Single, Double, King, Super King

For the full effect, the checked fitted sheet beneath will have you feeling like you're lying down in a new, two-dimensional universe. From £30. laredoute.co.uk

• Made from: 100 per cent natural flax-fibre linen
• Colours: 4
• Sizes: Double, King, Super King, Emperor
• Honest opinions: This is the perfect bedding for summer if you're a fan of linen. If you don't like how linen feels, keep moving.

Soho Home has well and truly nailed it in the bedding sector, and it’s no surprise given that the Soho House outposts around the world are frequented by some of the most glamorous celebrities around. Made with 100 per cent natural flax-fibre linen, this is bedding made for a good night’s sleep, honing in on linen’s temperature-regulating properties and breathability, as well as the durable, long-lasting nature of it. And given the naturally relaxing nature of greens, this sage colour is a dream for anyone who struggles to unwind at night. From £179. At sohohome.com

• Made from: Cotton
• Colours: 4
• Sizes: Double, King
• Honest opinions: If you want that designer label in the bedroom, look no further. Is it worth near £500? We're not convinced, but it depends where your priorities lie.

If you’re going to stick with the stereotype and opt for navy sheets, give them an elevated feel and opt for a chic Ralph Lauren set. Made with a cotton sateen that adds an extra level of smoothness and sophistication, this duvet cover has a 600 thread count design, giving a lot more style points than your bog standard set. Pair it with a set of Ralph Lauren cushion covers if you fancy going all in on the designer look, or we’d suggest adding in a contrasting throw and pillowcases to make sure the navy doesn’t look too intense - there are other colours too though. £439.

• Made from: 100% cotton
• Colours: 12
• Sizes: Single Double, King, Super King, Emperor
• Honest opinions: This has had some of the highest praise for comfort we've ever heard for a duvet cover from one of GQ's Senior Commerce Writers.

When a member of the GQ team describes a set of bedding as a complete ‘gamechanger’ for their sleep, you best bet we're paying attention. Made from 100 per cent long-staple cotton (rather than linen as the brand's name would lead you to believe), Linen Bundle's duvet cover set keeps things simple, but does it well. With a 500 thread count that keeps things feeling smooth and silky to the touch, and a range of neutral colours and stripped-back patterns, it's just classic bedding done well. And available to purchase in bundles, it'll also make your shopping a bit easier too. From £150 £90. At linenbundle.com

• Made from: 100% premium viscose from bamboo fabric
• Colours: 14
• Sizes: Twin, Queen, King
• Honest opinions: This does ship from the United States and come at quite a price, but if you can afford it, it's so well worth it.

Cozy Earth’s bedding has earned a reputation for being adored by celebrities over in the USA, and the praise is well warranted. As is the case with the brand’s entire range of clothing and homeware, the most noticeable thing about it instantly how soft it is, made from a 100 per cent viscose fabric from bamboo that’s smooth and comfortable to touch, far more so than the usual cotton designs. It’s best described as a silky, satiny look and feel, bringing all of the elegance you could want from a duvet cover, with 13 different colours to choose from. You can’t go wrong with the white, but we’d also say the clay and sage are worth your perusal. £350 £280 At cozyearth.com

• Made from: 300 thread count sateen weave Egyptian cotton
• Colours: 3
• Sizes: Double, King, Super King, Emperor
• Honest opinions: Super soft and silky, you really can't go wrong with these.

If you’ve ever found yourself struggling to decide between cotton and silk sheets (a classic predicament), opting for a sateen cotton can be the perfect compromise. Capturing that silky feel, but also with the soft, breathability of cotton, Hampton & Astley’s blend is really the best of both worlds. Available in a variety of different sets (you can buy two duvet covers at once, or opt for a matching flat sheet, fitted sheet and pillowcase), the duvet covers are made from a 300 thread count Egyptian cotton, woven to capture that smooth feeling that’s best described as hotel-quality. Perfect for summer, the duvet cover has a cool touch to it, and thanks to its natural breathability, will help to regulate your temperature overnight throughout the year. Just pick between the three colours (pink, grey and white), and drift off. £214 £107. At hamptonandastley.com

• Made from: Washed cotton or cool cotton percale
• Colours: 1
• Sizes: Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: Our Senior Commerce Writer Daphne Bugler has tested countless duvet covers, but this is the one she swears by every single night.

Beddable’s duvet cover sets have long been best-sellers among GQ readers, not just due to the simplicity of the designs, all of which come in block colours except for this striped set, but also because of just how comfortable and long-wearing they are. These are the kind of duvet cover sets that you can invest in once, wash again and again, and be confident they’ll still be standing strong, made from 100 per cent premium cotton that’s incredibly soft. Just choose between the three different sets, the Core (duvet cover, fitted sheet and two pillowcases), the Move-In (duvet cover, two pillowcases, fitted sheet, down duvet and two down pillows), or the Luxe Set, adding in two more pillows, two more pillowcases, a decorative throw and two scatter cushions. From £119 £60. At beddable.co.uk

• Made from: 100% cotton
• Colours: 18
• Sizes: Single, Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: We love these washed cotton sets for the summer and winter alike, it's just a shame that some of Piglet in Bed's more fun designs are only available in the linen material.

If we could have one bedding brand's entire range of duvet covers, it would have to be Piglet in Bed's. Winning with every colour it releases, it's the range of cotton duvet covers that we're currently living for, available in muted and pastel shades of green, yellow, brown and orange, as well as in a classic white. Textured on one side and smooth on the other, they stay cool to the touch overnight (a real win in the summer), while being some of the softest duvet covers we've tried. Our favourite shade has to be the apple green, but if you can style it right, the buttermilk has plenty of unique potential. From £59. At pigletinbed.com

• Made from: Bamboo
• Colours: 5
• Sizes: Single, Double, King, Super King
• Honest opinions: The colours and designs here are a bit limited but if you're on board with that, it has plenty of great sustainable features.

While it may be one of the lesser-known brands on the bedding circuit, Panda has fast become one of our favourites thanks to its exceptionally comfortable duvet covers, towels and mattress toppers. If you're in the market for bamboo bedding, it's one of the best around. Made from 100 per cent bamboo (although also available in a linen blend) its original duvet cover has a silkier feel than most bamboo bedding, while being breathable and temperature controlling, so a great option for hot sleepers, it's also hypoallergenic and naturally antibacterial, meaning you'll be more protected against skin irritation or build-up of dust mites. Each bedding set also comes complete with a fitted sheet, duvet cover and pillowcases, meaning you're fully sorted for a good night's sleep. From £70. At mypandalife.com

• Made from: Various options available
• Colours: 4

A comprehensive outlet for bedding of any kind, its range extends from Egyptian cotton sheets and French linen bedding to Supima cotton duvet covers and even more luxurious mulberry silk duvet sets. We'd recommend the 600 thread count Egyptian cotton duvet cover which is made from 100 per cent Egyptian fibres, while also being breathable, moisture-wicking and designed for a soft, sateen-like feel.
