Do you ever wonder how you could make your bedroom your safe sanctuary? A place where you can unwind and rejuvenate? Forgetting the hustle and bustle of modern life? Well, what if we told you the bedding you choose can help with that? Your bedding not only offers comfort but also gives your bedroom character. It sets the tone for your personal space. As life evolves, we thrive on keeping you updated with the latest bedding trends at The Mattress Warehouse. Transforming your bedroom into a chic yet cosy retreat is our mission. Read on as we explore what’s hot and in with bedding colours, patterns, and fabrics. Your sleep experience is our priority!
Patterns add depth and a low-key vibrancy to your room’s aesthetic. Nothing too noisy or obnoxious – a favourite among calm individuals with a subtle, playful, or extravagant persona. Here are some trending patterns:
Nature-inspired patterns are having their moment. Think delicate flowers, lush leaves, and calming intricate vines. These patterns bring that tranquil and fresh, outdoorsy feel into your room. What better way to lull you to a peaceful sleep and wake you up to an inspiring new day? This pattern is also very in-theme for spring. It just gives off a feeling of “new beginnings” and rejuvenation.
With tech all the rage right now, what if we said you could incorporate it into your room? Geometric patterns are perfect for a contemporary, minimalistic look. The different shapes, in different sizes and shades, create a visually enticing contrast. Very modern and chic, with a smidge of that ‘organised chaos’ vibe.
So much print inspiration can be drawn from South Africa’s cultural diversity. Traditional patterns inspired by African art can add an authentic and unique touch to your bedding. Designs from the Nguni (Zulu, Xhosa, or Ndebele) traditions are pretty popular.

We can all agree that colours are a magical aspect of any decor. The colours you choose heavily influence the mood and energy in your bedroom. With current bedding trends, the colours that are in right now are focused on creating a relaxing and positive ambience. Here are some colours to consider:
Different shades of green are back by popular demand. The colour exudes a sense of tranquillity and being one with nature. There is a sense of relaxation and calm from the soft sage to the deep emerald. Think of the green, luscious landscapes of the outdoors sending you to Lalaland. Green is perfect for bedding changes in spring.
Blue and its various shades are also the year’s colour so far. The colour gives off sophistication and peacefulness. Think of dark blue skies on a starry night or lazy flows of blue water in summer. Adding navy, royal, and pastel blue shades with accents of white on bedding is a game-changer. This accenting is typically through throw pillows or blankets, giving the room a cosmopolitan feel.
Brown, beige, khaki, terracotta (rusty red-brown), and ochre (sandy yellow) are earthy tones. They give warmth and comfort to a room, creating an inviting, cosy atmosphere. This is an indulgent look for cooler autumn and freezing winter seasons. Earth tones pair nicely with neutral or lighter colours. The darker reds and browns go well with the beige or white, giving a balanced look.
Pastels are the soft shades of the colours on the colour wheel. These are your blush pink, lavender, and mint green. They exude a gentle, soothing and serene vibe in your bedroom. A lullaby in a colour palette, if you will. Pastel colours create an airy, light feel and a nicely themed theme for summer.

When choosing fabric for your bedding, you must keep two things in mind: comfort and practicality. You want durable bedding that still plays to that luxurious and snuggly feel. Here are some trending fabrics that are both luxurious and practical:
South Africa’s varied climate makes cotton the most popular choice for bedding. The fabric is breathable and soft, very fitting for the warm summer. But it is also cosy and reliable during the cold winter season. Also, the higher the thread count, the more lush the cotton.
One of the most attractive qualities of linen is its long-lasting comfort. The fabric tends to soften with each wash, giving that snug and cosy feel. That is why linen gives the room a low-key opulence. Linen is also breathable and moisture-wicking, making it the perfect choice for summer.
Eco-friendly and sustainable bedding is becoming more and more popular. After all, there’s no greater feeling than knowing your bedding is organic material. Bamboo bedding is pleasantly soft and hypoallergenic. This is a perfect combination for individuals with allergies and sensitive skin.
Nothing screams ‘regal’ like velvet. The smooth, lush, and rich texture of velvet exudes luxury and warmth all at once. Making the fabric suitable for the colder winter seasons. Velvet is also very durable when kept well, lasting for generations.
