Embrace the cozy and dreamy vibes with this beautiful and versatile bedding collection!
Fall weather practically begs for cottagecore bedding. The chunky-knit throws and sumptuous linen bed sheets in gingham and pastoral patterns are hominess at its best. But unlike Hygge-inspired interiors that focus on coziness alone, when bedding has notes of cottagecore, it becomes a place to get away when the world becomes too much. “Cottagecore bedding is all about evoking a sense of nostalgia—it’s the feeling of waking up in the countryside with the windows open and the morning sun flowing in,” says Jessica Hanley, founder and CEO of Piglet in Bed. “It’s romantic, comforting, and just a little bit whimsical too!”

To curate countryside scenes in your chamber, look for bedding made of soft-washed linen or cotton blends that artfully crease to create that lived-in look. “It should feel like something that’s been passed down with love, rather than plucked off a shelf,” Hanley adds. When choosing a color palette, consider tones found in a meadow or a wildflower garden—plumy pinks, sage, cream, and pastel or ochre yellows.

While cottagecore bedding is all about mix-and-match potential, you still want to have some cohesion. Designer Roger Higgins of R. Higgins Interiors loves pairing an eclectic mix of patterns with ivories and whites to create a chic combination of colors and textures.

“When designing a classic, serene retreat, my go-to bedding includes a quality mattress pad, a set of crisp white sheets—possibly with hotel-style stitching—two sets of pillowcases, a cotton blanket, a matelassé cover, and a duvet folded at the foot of the bed,” Higgins adds. “Styling your bed with layers not only adds visual interest but also creates versatility.”

Here, 19 picks that range from pastel gingham to wilderness toile duvet covers that will transform any room into a countryside retreat.

$328

Cozy Earth

Whimsical cottagecore bedroom decor doesn’t necessarily have to look like a garden-alcove. Instead, focus on woodland creatures, as showcased in the new Winter Toile bamboo bedding collection from Cozy Earth, an AD-favorite brand. The dijon colorway will go with literally anything in your linen closet. Since it is made from feathery viscose, you don’t ever have to worry about overlayering. In fact, we suggest you get the matching duvet cover to complete the look.

## A Romantic Ruffled Sheet Set

$80

Amazon

A ruffle bedding set with flounce-trimmed pillowcases and flat sheet puts a romantic twist on the cottagecore vibes. Choose from the neutral white or ivory or lean into the garden designs with chintz prints against a white or teal background. To amp up the aesthetic, add a vintage teacup to your nightstand as a jewelry organizer.

## The Best Bundle

A cottagecore bedroom wouldn’t be complete without some Piglet in Bed mix-and-matching. Alpert likes to match her bedding mood to seasons and uses the rejuvenating sage gingham during the spring months and has been “a little bit in love” with the botanical green print, which she pairs with dusty rose and saffron sheets that match the wildflower bouquet on her nightstand. Choose from linen or linen-blend that’s woven with long staple cotton. The pastel colorway, which also includes a warm blue and a mushroom hue bestows a sort of quiet luxury to your chamber. While these are not inexpensive, senior digital design editor Zoë Sessums made the case for this investment bedding: “Though this sheet set is a bit steep in price, the quality is unmatched and I predict I’ll use these for as long as they’ll last (seemingly incredibly long!). You really get what you pay for, so I would say these are A+++ sheets.”

## A Breezy Quilt

Cottagecore cozy wouldn’t be complete without a quilt, and this one from Brooklinen is on par to nestling into a cotton candy cloud. The four-layer gauze construction—made with 100% Turkish Cotton—is fluffy without weighing down your bedscape. “It reminds me of the blankets I chose for my baby—incredibly cozy but still delicate,” says Alpert. “What a nice surprise to find something that is adult-size!” She loves pairing her pink Tulip quilt with a sage gingham duvet cover, though the perky orange Marigold is something she wouldn’t mind pairing with a grassy print for autumnal vibes.

$130

Quince

Quince bedding products are definitely some of our favorites around here. That’s why adding a large-scale knit throw to your cottagecore collection is a must. These are made from natural wool and look as good on your bed as they do draped over the couch. Since they come in olive, neutral, and ivory, they will fit seamlessly in whatever color palette you’re working with.

## A Classic Cottagecore Pillow Cover

$49

West Elm

Something about the Pierce & Ward Floral Grid pillow cover makes us think that had Virginia Woolf shopped at West Elm for home accents to decorate a room of her own, she’d pick this pattern for her country estate. Its forest green grid against the earthy background gives this pillow just enough sophistication without veering too far from a bucolic moment.

## More AD-Approved Cottagecore Bedding

Of all the materials AD commerce director Rachel Fletcher has tested—percale, Supima cotton, and linen—the Boll & Branch signature sateen sheets are the crème de la crème of bedding. “That extra-soft feel, paired with the lovely, cooling properties, makes them feel like the luxury sheets they are,” she says in her review. That buttery texture is the result of long-staple cotton fibers that only get more luxurious wash after wash. Since cottagecore is all about that cozy factor, we can’t think of a better choice for basking in bed.

The Breeze comforter—Buffy’s bestseller—comes highly recommended by two of our editors. “The fibers are naturally a little heavier, which makes it more substantial and warmer than other cooling comforters I’ve tried [like the Casper], but it’s not as overwhelming as a traditional down comforter,” says Fletcher in her best duvet inserts review. Like the original Buffy Comforter, it has loops in every corner, so it can be used interchangeably as a comforter or duvet insert.
