Grey bedding is modern, sleek, and elegant. So, how many shades of grey would you say is enough for your bedroom? How about five?

Have you ever considered the importance of bedding? Most have never thought about how much bedding affects a night’s sleep, although we all love the feeling when we lie down in the clean, crisp bedding we just put on bed. High quality bedding should be breathable, soft and pleasant for skin.

Back in the day, cotton was practically the only material from which bedding was made and today there are many different ones. Cotton has remained popular, but you can also find bed linen made of polyester, eucalyptus, bamboo and many blends.

Also, bedding has a decorative role. Nice bedding can change the look of the whole bedroom because the bed is the centerpiece of the room, and the bedding covers practically the whole bed. Which colour you choose depends on what you like but also on the design of the entire interior.

Grey bedding is not the most common choice of bedding colour. However, in recent years, the monochromatic and minimal look has been gaining popularity, so we thought to ourselves here – why don’t we make a top list? So, on that note, here are the best grey bedding picks in 2023.

Our top 7 grey bedding picks

Now that we know what you should look for when shopping for grey bedding, let's take a look at some of the best ones your money can buy.

Best Overall
Product image of Panda Bamboo & French Linen Bedding

This is a 3-in-1 set of the highest quality bamboo bedding your money can buy. The set contains a fitted sheet, a duvet cover, and a pair of standard-size pillowcases to fit every pillow. All of the items are available separately, too. In addition to these three, you can also buy a flat sheet, instead of a fitted one.

The thread count for these is 320, which would be the equivalent of 1200 thread count if these were cotton sheets. Every item in the set is luxuriously soft and well-made, with special attention to detail. The set is also very breathable, so you'll be able to use it all year round.

3 things to remember when buying grey bedding

Shopping for grey bedding isn't too hard, but it isn't easy either. You will have to pay attention to several things if you want your new bedding to be perfect like materials, size, brand, shop, and so on.

On that note, we've prepared a little guide for you.

Size of your bed

First things first, you'll want to make sure your new grey bedding fits your bed perfectly – so, you'll have to choose based on the size of your bed.

Just like mattresses, bedding comes in standard, correspondent sizes, with a range from Single to Emperor, so you shouldn't have any issues finding the perfect fit.

To be fair, you could always go bigger when it comes to sheets, but if you're looking to buy duvet covers, for example, you'll want to make sure it matches perfectly. otherwise, you'll just be stuck with a flappy, long grey duvet cover.

Cotton, linen, velvet, sateen, bamboo or synthetic

Cotton is the most common choice for bedding. It is soft and cosy, very smooth, and it will keep you warm during cold nights and cool during warm ones. For the best quality, choose bedding with a 300 thread-count or higher, and for the warmest cotton – go for brushed cotton.

Linen is a lightweight fabric ideal for the summer months. It is durable and soft and is made from the flax plant. It is one of the most eco-friendly and sustainable choices.

If cotton and linen were soft – velvet is ultra-soft. It is a synthetic fabric, often associated with riches and luxury, and is truly one of the softest, most gentle fabrics bedding's made out of.

Sateen is another luxurious fabric, often made from Egyptian cotton. It is as soft as cotton and as almost as smooth as velvet, making it one of the most popular bedding choices.

Bamboo is another sustainable, eco-friendly option for fabric materials. Just like all the rest, bamboo's soft and gentle to your skin.

Finally, you can always go for synthetic bedding like polyester or microfibre, which is generally the most affordable option out of all.

Grey bedding sets VS single piece

The last thing to take into account when buying grey bedding is whether you want to go for the whole set, or for the separate pieces.

an image of sheets and beddings

Loosely translated, you can either go and buy yourself some pillowcases, sheets, or grey duvet covers all by themselves, or you can choose to buy a whole set, including all of the pieces you might need.

FAQs about your grey bedding

Now that we have seen our top 5 picks for the best grey bedding, let's answer some FAQs to wrap this thing up.

Is grey bedding hard to clean?

Not particularly. Most of the time, all you'll have to do is wash your bedding regularly and that's it.

Will my grey bedding fade over time?

There is a good chance that some of the grey bedding on the market will fade over time, but not the ones we've handpicked for you.

What is the best cotton thread count for grey bedding?

It all depends on the fabric, but generally speaking, anything above 320 thread-count should be excellent.

Do I have to use a grey mattress with my grey bedding?

Not at all. Your mattress might as well be fiery pink. The grey bedding isn't see-through, so your mattress colour won't show through.
