Piglet Bedding & Home
Natural linen bedding and homeware that feels better the longer you live with it. Piglet’s pieces are made from European flax linen – breathable, low-fuss and quietly handsome. They help regulate temperature year-round, and don’t mind looking a bit rumpled out the wash. Solid, dependable and made to last, these are the sort of items you grow fond of over time. Worth a look, if you want comfort that isn’t overthought.
FAQs about Piglet Bedding & Home
What size is king bedding in the UK?
In the UK, king size bedding fits a 150 x 200 cm mattress. A standard king duvet cover measures around 225 x 220 cm, while fitted sheets usually run to 150 x 200 x 30 cm. Linen bedding often has a slightly looser fit, so check dimensions before you buy - especially if you’ve got one of those extra-deep mattresses. No one wants a sheet that fights back.
How often should you wash linen bedding for best results?
For best results, wash linen bedding every 1–2 weeks. Linen naturally repels bacteria and breathes well, so it stays fresher longer than cotton. A gentle wash this often keeps it soft, clean and long-lasting - no elbow grease required. Just be sure not to overdo it. Even the hardiest fibres appreciate a bit of TLC.
What temperature should you wash Piglet bedding at?
Wash Piglet bedding at 40°C to protect both colour and fibres. This temperature is warm enough to get things clean, yet still gentle on linen’s structure. Got a stubborn stain? Try a cool pre-soak or spot clean before the main wash. High heat might seem like a shortcut, but it can age linen faster than you'd like. For more tips, see our linen care guide.
Where can I donate or recycle used bedding responsibly?
You can donate used bedding in good nick to animal shelters, homelessness charities or local community reuse schemes. If it’s time to recycle, check with your council - most have textile drop-offs at recycling centres. Labelling it clearly as ‘textiles’ helps it wind up in the right place, not the wrong pile.
Which is the most reliable bedding for year-round comfort?
The most reliable bedding for year-round comfort is 100% linen. It naturally adapts to temperature - cool in the summer, cosy in winter. Linen breathes, wicks away moisture, and actually gets softer with every wash (which feels like a nice reward for doing the laundry). It’s built to last, too, so you’ll be sleeping soundly for years.
How do you care for linen bedding to keep it looking its best?
To keep linen bedding looking its best, wash at 40°C with gentle detergent and skip the fabric softener. Air dry when you can, or tumble dry on low to soften it up. There’s no call for ironing - linen’s relaxed texture is part of its charm (and frankly, life’s too short). Find more tips in our care and repair hub.
What makes Piglet bedding different from other eco-friendly options?
What makes Piglet bedding different from other eco-friendly options is its sturdy quality and proper comfort. Made from 100% flax linen, it’s breathable, durable, and responsibly grown. The relaxed weave keeps softening over time, and the clean, timeless design won’t date. It’s truly a “buy once, buy well” sort of thing - and not just for this season.
