A mattress topper is useful in university halls if you’d like to keep your mattress in the best possible condition, when you move out at the end of the year.

Remember, a mattress protector and mattress topper do different jobs. A protector is designed to help protect the mattress, while a topper adds another layer of comfort and support. If you're setting up a bed from scratch, both can be useful additions.

Some halls of residence might provide duvets, some might not. Check your accommodation inventory before making a purchase to avoid doubling up on duvets and starting an avoidable return process.

If you bring your own duvet, think about the size and warmth you’ll want at different times of year. Our duvets include a year-round and summer duvet, to help you drift off whatever the weather.

Bed linen should be washed every one to two weeks but the most important thing is creating a routine that works around your student life.

Having two bedding sets makes it easier to stay on top of washing as you can put one set in the machine while the other dresses the bed. 

Our 100% Bamboo Bedding and other bedding sets get softer with every wash. More laundry days = more luxurious lie-ins.

The short answer is yes. Although you can put all our bamboo bedding sets in the dryer, we recommend drying your duvet covers, fitted sheets and pillow cases the natural way. Not only will it save you money on energy bills but it’s better for the planet too.

If you do have to use a tumble dryer choose as low a setting as possible to prevent any shrinking and keep the fabric intact.
