Elegant upstairs guest bedroom with neutral luxury bedding, natural light and layered soft textures

How to Prep Your Guest Bedroom with Luxury Bedding

A beautifully made guest bed sets the tone for the entire stay. Focus on soft, breathable layers, adaptable duvets, and thoughtful textures so every visitor feels completely at home.

Start with a versatile base

Begin with breathable sheets in a neutral palette to suit every guest’s preference. Our silky bamboo-cotton blends offer year-round comfort and an elegant drape. Explore bamboo bedding for a soft, sustainable foundation that feels indulgent yet practical.

Choose the right duvet size

If your guest room is compact, a small double bed maximises comfort without overwhelming the space. Pair it with properly fitted linen for a polished look. Explore our small double size bedding range or browse duvet covers for a quick seasonal refresh.

Layer for comfort and flexibility

  • Use a lightweight duvet with a folded throw for adjustable warmth.
  • Add two sleeping pillows and two decorative cushions for comfort and visual symmetry.
  • Choose serene shades like white, oatmeal, or sage for calm appeal. Discover our white bedding collection for timeless guest-room elegance.

Bundle your bedding for convenience

Preparing for guests shouldn’t be stressful. Our Bedding Bundle tool lets you customise a full set — duvet cover, sheets, and pillowcases — so every element arrives coordinated and ready to style.

Finishing touches guests appreciate

  • Swap pillowcases mid-stay for freshness — browse pillowcases to keep spares handy.
  • Use a mattress protector for hygiene and comfort.
  • Place a folded towel, water carafe, and scented candle for thoughtful hospitality.

Ackly Bamboo - Harmony Stripe Fitted Sheet
Annette
Feel so luxurious

Excellent from start to finish..

Delivery was super fast, considering we’re in the silly season of Christmas deliveries which would normally delay deliveries
Packaging was just beautiful- came beautifully boxed with sheets wrapped with soft almost tissue paper… definitely would be a wonderful gift for someone..
The quality of the fabric of these sheets is second to none - almost a very soft silky feel, and warm and soft to the touch.
I imagine these will wash well and in fact, probably get softer as time goes on..
The colour of these (stripe) was almost exactly as pictured, maybe even a bit nicer in fact…

All in all, this was my first experience of shopping here and it won’t be my last.. I’m so pleased with everything, thank you so much

Excellent fitted sheet

Buying a deep fitted sheet for a small double bed is not easy but I am so pleased I discovered Sheet Story. The Ella sheet is made of lovely soft material with very deep sides which make so easy to put on. I only ordered one as wanted to check quality but will be reordering very soon. Thoroughly recommend.

Good quality

Good quality, comfortable mattress protector. Arrived very quickly. However, it has made the bed warmer, so I may have to take it off in the summer. I think I should have ordered the bamboo mattress protector, as I suspect that would be better, in this respect.

Excellent Bamboo protector

Excellent king size bamboo protector. I couldn’t believe it didn’t make a noise it was perfect. You couldn’t feel it under the sheet exactly what I wanted. It does not move at all stays in exactly its place under the bottom sheet. I could not be more happy with it. An excellent protector. It also has unusual corner straps that hold it perfectly in place.

Great quality

Lovely, well-made, heavyweight king-size cotton duvet cover. Reasonably soft, but I expect it will wash nicely softer over time and last a long while, hopefully.

Lovely bedding.

I love new bedding and wanted to try bamboo. The stripes are very stylish ( I wish there were more options) The duvet cover has a good weight and is very comfortable to sleep in, I am very pleased with it.

Absolutely stunning!

I dont normally bother doing reviews but I felt my purchase warranted my time to do so. For the first time I actually have a fitted sheet that fits and stays put on my mattress. I was at my wits end before tucking in the corners on a daily basis. Not only does this sheet actually fit, the quality is outstanding from the stitching, the thickness of the material, to the soft cosy feel. Having gone through a few brands, I can honestly say, nothing comes close to the quality of the Ackly bamboo sheets from Sheet Story! One very happy customer 😀
