Affordable Linen Bedding from Marks & Spencer Brings a Casual Aesthetic to Your Bedroom, Yet It's the Softness that Sets It Apart
Marks and Spencer's (M&S) latest linen bedding range offers a classic and sophisticated texture that is both comfortable and stylish. This bedding is designed to regulate temperature during sleep, making it an ideal choice for warmer temperatures.
The linen bedding is light and airy, providing a cool touch that is a welcome relief during hot summer nights. It is less expensive compared to pure linen bedding sets, but more expensive than basic cotton sheets, making it a good value for many consumers.
The M&S linen bedding is available in a range of modern colours, including some more out-there, 'rich' colours. A bolder take on a neutral colour, a light green, is a bedding trend being seen in 2025, and M&S offers this shade as part of their range.
Content creator and stylist, Luke, with over 10 years of experience in the interiors industry, has tested the bedding for an initial two weeks and will update the review after four to six weeks of use. Luke, who is a side sleeper, tested the bedding with a duvet from The Wool Room, filled with natural wool.
The M&S linen bedding feels soft after the first wash, making it a good choice for those who prefer linen bedding. However, it should be noted that linen bedding tends to shed fibres, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is worth noting that not all linen sheets do this.
The M&S linen bedding deep sheet fits well on deep mattresses, reducing the likelihood of it coming loose. The bedding has an exterior seam, which is generally stronger than an interior seam, with neat stitching. However, there are a few loose cut threads at the end of the seams on these sheets.
The M&S linen bedding may be worth a try for those who cannot get on with natural linen sheets but appreciate the look. It is a good value compared to brands like Bed Threads and Secret Linen Store, which retail around £230-£250. However, it may not meet the same standards as some premium linen bedding.
Some reviewers on the M&S website have given one star reviews, comparing it to sleeping on sandpaper. This may be due to a lack of familiarity with linen bedding, as it is not as soft as cotton bedding.
Overall, the M&S linen bedding offers a comfortable and stylish option for those looking to upgrade their bedding without breaking the bank. It is a nice middle ground between pure cotton and pure linen bedding, and can be styled creatively by mixing and matching colours for a more unique bed look.
