Creating a cosy, comfortable sanctuary in your bedroom is essential for restorative sleep, but bedding does not last forever. Over time, pillows lose their plumpness, duvets become less effective at trapping warmth, and even with regular washing, they accumulate oils, sweat, and skin cells. If you are considering refreshing your sleep environment, Dunelm offers a hidden gem in its Special Buys section, where you can find sleep essentials and homeware at remarkably low prices.
Complete Bedding Sets at Unbeatable Prices
Remarkably, Dunelm allows you to pick up an entire new bedding set, including a mattress topper, duvet, pillows, and protectors, for just £40 in total. These sets have garnered high praise from Dunelm shoppers, making them an excellent investment for improving sleep quality without breaking the bank. The Special Buys range also features duvet covers, bath towels, and much more, all offering great value for money.
Enhance Mattress Comfort and Longevity
Dunelm's Supersoft Mattress Topper is a standout product, adding an extra layer of comfort and support while helping to extend the life of your mattress. Priced from £15 for a single size up to £28 for super kingsize, it features a polyester cover and plump hollowfibre filling with a soft firmness rating. Elastic straps on each corner ensure it stays securely in place, and it is machine-washable for easy care.
Customers have unanimously awarded it five stars, with one reviewer noting, "This topper has given my bed and mattress a whole new life. The bed is soft now and so comfortable, it is well worth the money." For alternatives, consider Dusk's Feels Like Down Mattress Topper from £26, with a breathable cotton cover and super soft polyester fibre, or the Silentnight White Airmax 500 Mattress Topper, offering 5cm of quilted luxury from £39 at Next.
Affordable Pillows for Restful Nights
Dunelm's pack of four Synthetic Back Sleeper Pillows costs just £14, working out to a mere £3.50 per pillow. They feature a medium-firm polyester fibre filling for consistent support and an easy-care polyester cover. You can enhance comfort further with the Supersoft Pillow Protectors, available for £5 a pair.
Shoppers have given these pillows five-star reviews across the board, praising their excellent value. One customer added, "Lovely comfy pillows, nice and soft, helped with my neck." Alternatively, a set of four Silentnight Luxury Anti Allergy Pillows costs £24.99 on Amazon, suitable for back and side sleepers and ideal for those with asthma, allergies, or sensitive skin.
Year-Round Warmth with Budget-Friendly Duvets
The Supersoft Check 9-Tog Duvet from Dunelm is priced from £12 for a single up to £20 for kingsize. Filled with lofty polyester fibre, it offers medium warmth perfect for year-round use. The machine-washable polyester duvet features a textured check design on the fabric.
Reviewers have again awarded it full five stars, with one saying, "The duvet is lovely, soft and fluffy and keeps its shape well." Another noted, "The duvet has proved to be comfortable, light and with the ideal level of warmth for the colder months." For another option, Dusk's Feels Like Down Duvet Collection starts at £28 for the 9-tog version, filled with sumptuous light microfibre in a breathable 100% cotton percale cover.
Protect Your Mattress with Anti-Allergy Solutions
Dunelm's Super Soft Anti-Allergy Mattress Protector costs from £7 for a single up to £10 for kingsize. It helps keep your mattress clean and hygienic by blocking dust mites, allergens, and spills, while its soft fabric adds extra comfort. The breathable polyester cover is machine-washable, tumble dryable, and can be ironed on a cool setting.
A five-star review stated, "It's always worth investing in a good mattress protector in my opinion and this one does the job very well." The mattress protector has an overall rating of 4.8 stars, though one shopper described it as basic, explaining, "It doesn't really provide any comfort underneath so I will be buying a thicker one." As an alternative, the Sleep Solutions Quilted Waterproof Mattress Protector from Marks and Spencer costs from £16, featuring a naturally breathable quilted design with a pure cotton top layer for added softness.
