Teddybear Bedding: Best Teddy Fleece Bedding Sets for 2022

Teddybear bedding is an instant winter warmer which is guaranteed to elevate the cosiness-rating of your sleep-set up. Here's everything you need to know before investing.

It's easy to feel a little ~down~ as the days get shorter, the nights get darker and our anxiety around the cost of living rises. But there are plenty of reasons to be happy about plummeting temperatures – from hot chocolate makers and winter candles to knitwear and puffer coats. And the fact that we need no excuse to spend more time in bed

Of course, to make our beds that little more inviting, it's paramount we switch out those cooling pillows and linen bedding sets for purchases that are altogether more toasty. Think: hot water bottles, electric blankets, and teddybear bedding. Ah, teddy fleece bedding. Perhaps the snuggliest kind of bedding around. 

No matter the tog rating of your duvet – or how warm your house is – teddy fleece bedding is a winter essential. So snug and so cosy. Fleece feels soft against the skin, is hypoallergenic, inexpensive and it's suitable for those with sensitive skin. Plus, it's often made from recycled plastic bottles which gives it an eco-friendly edge to boot. 

Down below, we've picked out the best teddybear bedding sets – from memory foam pillows to teddybear fitted sheets, duvet covers, pillow covers and mattress toppers – which are in-keeping with the rest of your stylish home. Once you've chosen your favourite design, all that's left to do is crawl into bed with a warm mug of hot chocolate and a brand new book

Does teddy fleece bedding make you sweat?

If we're being honest, a little. Teddy fleece bedding is so good at keeping you toasty (it's not as breathable as other fabrics like cotton), that if you're an already-hot-sleeper, you're probably going to sweat in it. We'd recommend investing in more than one fleece bedding set, so that you can wash it more often. We've specified which teddybear bedding sets below are machine washable (clue: all of them) – and luckily, none of them need to be ironed. 

How do you wash teddy fleece bedding?

Teddybear bedding can be washed in the same way you would your normal bedding set. Throw it in your washing machine with some mild detergent and it'll come out good as new. Oh, and since fleece repels water and wicks away moisture rather than absorbing it, your teddy fleece bedding set will dry rapidly. 

Can teddy fleece bedding be tumble dried?

Yes, but using a heated clothes airer or washing line is preferable. If you do choose to use a tumble dryer, select a gentle cycle and the lowest heat to ensure your teddybear bedding remains soft (and its original size).
