WORDS BY CAIT EMMA BURKE
Get tucked.
As someone who’s struggled with sleep my entire life, I know how much of an impact great bedding can have. Scratchy sheets, poorly fitted pillowcases and paper-thin doonas do not a good night’s sleep make.
A few years ago I started really investing in my bedding, and now I have several favourite sets on rotation – there’s breathable bamboo, cuddly linen and organic cotton. While I still struggle with sleep from time to time, maximising how comfortable and cute my bed is has certainly helped.
For more interior inspiration, check out our Life vertical.
And on a superficial level, my room looks much more inviting when made up with sage green sheets and plush European pillows. If you’re in the market for some new bedding, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite local bedding brands below, so you too can get the best night’s sleep possible.
Sheet Society

Sheet Society was started in 2017 by Hayley and Andy Worley, a husband and wife duo who are passionate about helping people get the best night’s sleep possible. Its bedding is of the highest quality – I feel qualified to say this, as I own a set – and there’s a handy zip at the bottom of each doona instead of the usual row of buttons. Plus, the brand uses only biodegradable natural fibres and there’s no chemical processing involved in bringing its bedding to life.
And for those who are Melbourne-based, the brand’s flagship Armadale store is equipped to bring your dream bed to life. Sheet stylists, available by appointment, can walk you through the ‘bed builder’, where you can preview different colours, sizes and textures on an interactive touch screen.
