Crushing on cottagecore bedding? Us too. That’s why we took it upon ourselves to find the best gingham bedding. The classic check pattern, two colors of the same hue in a basketweave pattern, is the epitome of countryside quiet luxury. But you don’t have to live in a farmhouse to incorporate the gingham pattern into your bedroom decor. When you pair the bedding set with scalloped detail or floral motifs, it adds just the right amount of visual interest. Blue gingham in particular, can skew into coastal decor territory, especially if you add a percale cotton duvet cover into the mix.
To help you with your gingham bedscaping, we selected pillow shams, quilts, and linen sheets that not only look good but ensure your sleep is perfect. AD-favorite bedding brands like Quince, Piglet in Bed, and Lulu and Georgia are all part of this roundup. Here, the best gingham bedding to usher you into spring and summer.
Our Top Picks for the Best Gingham Bedding:
You really can’t go wrong with Quince bedding in our opinion, and you definitely can’t go wrong with the organic percale gingham sheet set. It comes in yarn-dyed blue fog that’s perfect for a coastal-inspired space. The olive and cafe colorways are just as enticing in their own way. Whatever you pick, you’ll be glad to have the 245 thread count organic cotton percale in your trousseau that’s designed to feel cooling to the touch. The bundle comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases. Bonus: the factory that manufactures this set recycles and reuses 99% of the water.
Treat yourself to Piglet in Bed 100% linen duvet cover—you’re not going to regret it. “The cover is incredibly light and smooth, especially for linen which can be somewhat textured,” says contributor Yelena Moroz Alpert. “I use it as transitional bedding when the weather is fickle, and the weight of it is just right. I never get too hot and it actually feels cool to the touch.” Details such as the coconut shell buttons give it an heirloom quality. The colorways also include rich mossy green, berry, and honey hues, but these go fast (especially when they are on sale).
The linen blend, a combo of 55% European flax and 45% long staple cotton, is a more affordable alternative to the 100% linen option. “I have both the linen and the linen-blend sets and love the softness of both, but the blend is a teeny-bit plusher,” Alpert explains, noting that it’s also more casual. Like all the other Piglet bedding, it’s free of harmful chemicals and Oeko-Tex certified.
Sometimes all you need is a gingham pillowcase set to completely transform your bedding landscape. You really can’t go wrong with this ruffle detail and the taupe-and-white washed cotton fabric is soft to the touch. At this price, you might want to get this pillowcase set as a Mother’s Day gift (and get some for yourself too.)
You can never have too much gingham, so why not go all in and get a full bed frame upholstered in the print. The star of the Westmont platform bed is the ruffle detail that will make all your bed skirt dreams come true. But we also love the curved silhouette of the headboard and the fact that the cotton upholstery has a 15,000 rub count. With this bed, you may never want to venture out of your chamber.
A reversible blanket gives you twice as many checks. One side has the buffalo plaid, while the other is gingham. Given the nature of the yard-dyed cotton, the throw is airy and makes for a perfect companion on the bed or an outdoor sofa. It’s available in standard bed sizes, as well as the smaller version you can pack away for vacations.
If you’re just itching to get into gingham but don’t want to commit, consider the Joon Loloi Ailsa pillow that’s a very contemporary twist on the beloved plaid print. It comes in chocolate and charcoal colorways, so you know it can lean into the warm and cool tones and will match whatever you already have on the bed. Use it as a decor piece when you actually make your bed.
Sunny yellow ruffles of the GreenRow bed skirt completely transform the entire bed. It’s pre-washed, so you can dress your bed right after this new arrival comes to your door. Layer it with a ruffled duvet cover, ideally one with some lace trim for ultimate loveliness. We guarantee that it’s going to be a delight.
Who said gingham has to lean country? The Hudson Grace and Diane Keaton collab can attest that the micro print in black-and-white washed linen bedding is a mod approach to the classic. Pair it with a crisp white percale cotton set, and you have a capsule wardrobe for your bed.
This green gingham bedding set is calming, after all, it’s the color of nature. The Schoolhouse percale cotton bed sheets are made in Portugal, so you know it’s a keeper. Unlike the more standard size, these checks are smaller, which dials up the charm. And even though the style is casual, your bedding setup will not get messy.
We have a weakness for bow ties, and when you add gingham print to it, let’s just say it’s time to head to checkout. The less expected red gingham comes as a two-in-one—one side has large checks, while the other is small. Together, they spell out a shabby chic surprise. Note that the shams are sold separately, but you’ll definitely want to add to cart.
