Why We Love Fleece Bedding in Winter.
We have just started to use our winter fleece bedding. Most of the spring and summer we use our bamboo bedding exclusively but when it suddenly turns cold in autumn and winter we need something warmer and cosier.
We love getting into a warm, cosy looking and feeling bed. There is no sheet shock or coldness at all and it feels so comforting. I always sleep so well in our fleece bedding. Sometimes its all fleece with both a fleece bottom sheet and quilt cover, other times we have the fleece bottom sheet and bamboo quilt cover, depending on the weather and how we feel. I always feel so incredibly warm, cosy and comforted in fleece.
The Fleece Warmth Factor
Fleece bedding is lovely and warm and keeps us cosy with just the winter quilt. We find we rarely need any additional blankets on the top. As we are trying to save on heating bills which are now very expensive, it really helps to have a lovely warm bed. It really came in to its own when the temperature suddenly dropped last week and we were cocooned in warmth and slept really well. One of the best aspects is that when you first get into bed there is no cold sheet shock. It is warm and cosy from the very start. Personally I don't find i overheat in fleece bedding as we usually only use it in winter and am glad of the gentle warmth.
Fleecy Softness
I am very sensitive to textures and fabrics and allergic to many chemicals. So i have to go for materials that are soft to the touch. Fleece bedding is lovely for me as it feels gentle and soft against the skin. So if you have sensitive skin it might be something to consider. I always wash bedding before using in order to make sure anything they have used in the process is washed out with my sensitive washing powder.
Colour and Pattern
Fleece bedding is available in many different colours. I’ve seen everything from gentle whites, soft neutral greys, pretty pinks and florals to fun festive tartans and muted greens and blues. We recently bought two sets one a very gentle muted pink and one a dark warm grey.
Easy Care Fleece Bedding
I always check the label or instructions before buying, but the fleece bedding sets we use go straight in the washing machine at 30 degrees, which makes life easier. It is generally tumble dry or line dry and no ironing! Either way I find it generally dries quite quickly. I love that there is no need for ironing and often labels say no iron which is great as one less task to do. In my experience it doesn't have an issue with wrinkling or creasing and looks great on the bed. This is ideal when busy, if you dislike ironing like me or find it difficult. It is brilliant to just wash, dry and back on the bed!

Gifting Fleece Bedding
I would always be super happy with any fleece bedding as a gift. I also love giving it as a gift. The only thing you really need to know is the persons size of bed. I have bought fleece bedding for family members in the past and it has always been well received. We often had it on the spare bed when our family came to stay and they loved it, which was a good indication they would appreciate it as a gift. I usually buy safer colours for gifts so white or cream or other calm neutrals like light grey or taupe. Otherwise if its for your own household or you know a person or couple are open to different colours, there is usually a great variety to choose from including brights, florals, patterns and themes. It strikes a great balance between being very practical and useful but also quite luxury, so perfect for gifting!
In the colder, harsher months I love to create bedroom sanctuaries with warm cosy fleece bedding, safe flameless candles or fairly lights and lovely pillows, quilts and cushions. It is a real cosy treat for yourself or a loved one. The only problem you might have is if you are like me getting out of bed in the winter mornings!
