File this under things we should've thought of years ago. Next's eight-piece bedding set has been all over social media, and it's easy to see why. Each set includes two duvet covers, four pillowcases and two fitted sheets in a mix of plain and patterned finishes, so you get two coordinated looks from one smart buy.
Made from 100 per cent cotton, the collection is available in seven striped or checked colourways, including a delicate pink, a couple of warm reds, a fresh blue and a chocolate brown. The duvet covers and pillowcases are finished with a sweet ruffled trim for a dash of nostalgia.
As we've come to expect from Next, everything is very reasonably priced, running from £55 for a single set up to £105 for a super-king set. That works out between £7 and £13 per piece.

The Set 8 Piece Red Stripe/Gingham Frill Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set with Fitted Sheets
This is the perfect bedding for the pattern-curious and the indecisive alike – try the plain duvet and striped pillows for something that feels restrained, then reverse the combination for a bit more busyness. For an even fuller look, layer plain pillows behind patterned ones. Pattern mixing is significantly easier when there is a shared colour running through everything.
