From relaxed linens to bold patterns and prints, 2025’s best bedding trends are giving new meaning to cozy, with themes around sustainability, ease, and overall comfort. Just remember, your bedroom should be a sanctuary, so don’t forsake your coziness or style when refreshing your space.

1. Color Drenching

One movement having its moment across the design industry is color drenching. Galey Alix, interior designer and founder of Galey Alix Design, says she sees this trend taking shape in bedding, too, with linens, decorative pillows, and duvets all taking a monochromatic point of view with a bedroom’s wall and ceiling colors. While it can make for easy sourcing when it comes to product selection, Alix warns to watch out for a room that feels lackluster or bland if you don’t strike the right balance.

2. Flowing Linens

“Instead of a traditional bed skirt, many people are opting for a coverlet that gracefully flows and hangs over the edge of the bed, creating a similar aesthetic,” says Drew Michael Scott, interior design content creator and founder of Lone Fox Home. “This style gives the bed a clean, elegant look while offering a sense of softness and flow.”

Alix has similarly noticed a more relaxed look for bedding as of late, with untucked sides and duvets that drape over the bed in an organic way. “They seem to be going for a more relaxed and approachable look, which is great if you want to save a little time making a pristine bed every morning in 2025,” she explains.

3. Tucking Pillows Under Bedding

If the organic look isn’t for you, there’s hope yet. “I’ve been loving a more structured, neat look by tucking pillows under the blanket or duvet,” says Scott. “This trend creates a hotel-inspired look, where the pillows are neatly in place, contributing to a clean, cozy aesthetic.”

Alix notes she’s seen a return to laying pillows flat as opposed to propping them upright—whether under or on top of bedding. Depending on how you employ the look, it can lend the clean look Scott currently favors or the more free-flowing look that’s also gaining traction.

4. End-of-Bed Accents

For a more layered look than a duvet and comforter can achieve, casually drape or neatly tuck in a duvet at the end of the bed. This allows for better temperature control with a layer that can easily be added or removed as needed. “This small detail brings a touch of warmth and texture while elevating the overall look of the room,” says Scott.

5. No Top Sheet

Much debate has been posed over whether or not it’s okay to sleep without a flat top sheet. Sabrina Dylag, lead designer at Charleston-based design firm MDI Luxury Design, thinks 2025 might be the year that the debate finally skews in the less-is-more camp. “This trend eliminates the hassle of tucking in sheets and creates a more relaxed, laidback look for the bed,” she says. “It’s also easier to manage when it comes to washing, as fewer pieces need to be laundered.”

6. Bold Patterns and Prints

Though Dylag admits minimalist designs are still popular, graphic patterns like abstract designs, modern geometric patterns, and botanical-inspired motifs are making a comeback in some bedrooms. “These patterns can add a touch of personality and excitement to the space while maintaining a sophisticated feel,” she says.

Alix also notes a resurgence of color and vintage-inspired designs, with the heavy wallpaper and bedding patterns of the 1970s and ’80s seeing a return to splendor. “I won’t be surprised if I see patterned bedding with rich jewel tones start to make a comeback in 2025 based on the vintage inspiration I’m seeing evolve in other home furnishings,” she says.

7. Sustainable Materials

Fabrics like organic cotton, linen, and bamboo are increasingly gaining popularity as eco-conscious buyers look to outfit their beds in materials that are not only better for the environment but also more comfortable and breathable too, says Dylag.

“I feel that post-pandemic, people have a heightened sense of health awareness and they are seeking out organic, chemical-free products more than ever,” Alix explains. “The great news is it’s kind of a double win when it comes to bedding because organic sheets are often softer and feel better over time despite multiple washes.”

The long fibers, single-ply weaves, and high thread counts that typically come along with organic sheets can add to the softer feel, she says. “So in 2025, I think people will be sleeping sounder and healthier.”

8. Layering Textures

Alix says one of the keys to creating a cozy, relaxed feel in any space is to layer textures. This is especially true when it comes to bedrooms where comfort is key. “Bedding is the perfect opportunity for this because you already have a fitted bed sheet, a top sheet and either a duvet or comforter,” she says. “Why not add in a waffle blanket under your duvet for another textured layer and have a folded bed blanket casually nesting across the top of your duvet.”
