While we're huge fans of the hot weather, one thing we can't get on board with is struggling to sleep. With the incoming heatwave (it's meant to be 30 degrees over the weekend!), we can't wait to sun ourselves in the garden with an Aperol Spritz. But when it comes to lights out? We'll do anything to avoid feeling sticky and sweaty, and tossing and turning.
Which is where linen bedding comes in. Made from natural fibres, the material is breathable and sweat-wicking, and is perfect for keeping you cool through the long summer nights. Plus, it's soft and wears well, meaning an investment now will last you well every year.
What better place to shop than at Marks and Spencer, which is renowned for its reliable classics? "Our linen bedding sets have a crisp, structured look and a luxurious feel to bring extra comfort to your bedroom," the high-street shop says.
We all know nautical is big right now, especially for the summer - which makes this sky blue and cream set a perfect choice.
Soft pink is a neutral, right? This set is made from 100% linen, and is also available in seven other colours if this one doesn't do it for you.

Question: Is there a more chic colour combination than red and pink? This set is actually by Piglet In Bed but is available on M&S. Yes please!
Somethings are classic for a reason. Anybody else just really keen for a crisp, white bedding set this summer?
