Microfibre Bedding

Discover the exceptional softness and practicality of our microfibre bedding collection. Lightweight, hypoallergenic and easy to care for, these sets are a popular choice for busy homes and anyone who wants a comfortable, low-maintenance night's sleep.

When shopping for microfibre bedding, check the GSM (grams per square metre) rating if it is listed — a higher GSM generally means a denser, warmer fabric, while a lower GSM is better suited to warmer sleepers or summer months. Look for sets that mention hypoallergenic properties if you suffer from dust mite allergies, as microfibre's tightly woven structure is particularly effective at resisting allergens. Microfibre is generally best washed at 30 or 40 degrees and dried on a low heat. Avoid high temperatures as these can damage the fibres and reduce the softness over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is microfibre bedding made from?

Microfibre bedding is made from extremely fine synthetic fibres, usually polyester, that are woven together to create an exceptionally soft, smooth fabric.

Is microfibre bedding suitable for allergy sufferers?

Yes, the tightly woven structure of microfibre is highly resistant to dust mites and common allergens, making it one of the better choices for people with sensitivities.

How does microfibre compare to cotton bedding?

Microfibre is generally softer and lighter than standard cotton at a similar price, dries faster and requires little to no ironing. Cotton, however, is more breathable and natural.

Can I wash microfibre bedding in a standard washing machine?

Yes, most microfibre sets are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle at 30 or 40 degrees and avoid high heat in the dryer, which can damage the fibres.

What sizes are available in this collection?

Microfibre bedding is available across all standard UK sizes from single through to super king, with matching pillowcases in most sets.

Is microfibre bedding suitable for warm sleepers?

Microfibre is lighter than many traditional fabrics, which can make it a comfortable option for warmer sleepers, though it is less breathable than natural cotton.

How long does microfibre bedding last?

With proper care, microfibre bedding is durable and maintains its softness well. Washing at the correct temperature and avoiding harsh detergents will extend its lifespan significantly.

Does microfibre bedding pill or bobble?

Quality microfibre is generally resistant to pilling. Washing in a mesh laundry bag and avoiding abrasive items in the same wash can help prevent surface bobbling over time.

Incredibly Soft, Incredibly Practical

Microfibre bedding has become one of the most popular choices in UK homes, and it is easy to understand why. The fabric is remarkably soft, much lighter than traditional cotton, and it manages to feel comfortable without the weight or the ironing effort that comes with heavier fabrics. If you have ever wondered why your bedding never quite feels as crisp and fresh as you would like, switching to microfibre might be the answer.

Beyond the softness, microfibre is genuinely easy to live with. It dries fast, resists wrinkles and is often hypoallergenic, making it a popular choice for people with sensitivities to more traditional bedding materials. For a complete bedroom update, our pillow range includes plenty of microfibre-friendly options, and our mattress protectors and toppers use similarly practical fabrics. If you want to mix and match, our bed sheets and pillowcase collection has options that sit beautifully alongside microfibre duvet sets.
