Luxury Bedding and Designer Duvet Cover Sets for the UK
Embossed where others print, designed where others decorate
One collection, three pieces, three sizes, one designer's hand. Tell us about your room and we will tell you plainly whether it is the right set for it.
It cannot crack or peel
A printed pattern sits on the surface and wears off. An embossed one is structural, so it keeps its depth and shimmer through years of washing.
A designer's pattern
A licensed Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen damask from his home collection: elegance, pattern, and a deliberate love of a little decadence.
A charcoal and silver palette
This season's two-tone: a deep charcoal ground under shimmering silver motifs, restrained glamour for classic and modern rooms alike.
Three UK sizes
Double, King and Super King, with every cover and pillowcase dimension published on the product page.

A closer look
Everything in the set
Three pieces, one damask, so the whole bed reads as a single designed object.
The duvet cover
The centrepiece, carrying the embossed damask at its largest scale, dressing the insert you already own.
Two pillowcases
A matching pair at 76 by 48 cm, the same embossed velvet at the head of the bed.
The velvet pile
Soft, warm and tactile: bedding that feels as indulgent as it looks, from the first night.
The embossing
The raised damask catches light across the room: deep and dramatic at a distance, sumptuously soft up close.
One pattern throughout
Cover and pillowcases carry the same damask, which is what makes the finished bed read as one designed object.
Nothing to hunt down
No mixing and matching: cover and pillowcases arrive together, fully co-ordinated straight out of the packaging.
Questions
The things people ask before ordering
What makes this bedding set qualify as luxury?
The convergence of premium materials, exceptional construction and a considered design. Here that means jacquard embossed velvet, with the damask raised into the fabric structure, and a licensed design by one of Britain's most recognised interior designers.
Is the pattern printed or embossed?
Embossed. The damask is raised into the velvet by the jacquard process, not printed on the surface, so it cannot crack, fade or peel and the raised motifs catch light in a way a print cannot.
Is shipping really free?
Yes. Delivery is free on every order, UK-wide, with tracking emailed from dispatch. Orders placed before 12pm (UK time) are typically dispatched the same business day.
What sizes are available?
Double (200 x 200 cm cover, for a 135 x 190 cm mattress), King (230 x 220 cm, for 150 x 200 cm) and Super King (260 x 220 cm, for 180 x 200 cm). Every size includes two matching pillowcases.
Can I return the set if it does not suit my room?
Yes, two ways. The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give you 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and our own policy extends that to 30 days on an unused, unwashed set in its original packaging with all three pieces.
How do I care for embossed velvet?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle at 30 degrees, never hot. Air dry or tumble on the lowest setting, and steam from a distance rather than ironing the pile directly.
Buying guide
Woven or printed, and how to tell what you are buying
This is the short version of what we have learned selling embossed bedding: what jacquard embossing actually is, who the designer is, how to pick the size, and how to look after velvet. The full guide lives on the product page.
Woven patterns and printed ones
This is the single most useful thing to know in this category, and a lot of shops are comfortable leaving it unsaid. A printed pattern sits on top of the fabric and fades, cracks or peels as the surface wears. A jacquard-woven pattern is created on the loom, in the structure of the cloth itself, so there is nothing to wear off. The test takes two seconds: turn the fabric over. A woven pattern shows on the back, reversed. A printed one leaves a plain ground.
What jacquard embossing means
Jacquard is the weaving technique, named for Joseph Marie Jacquard, whose 1804 loom made complex patterns commercially viable. Applied to velvet as embossing, it raises the damask above the pile: the motifs catch light differently from the ground, deep and dramatic across the room, soft and tactile up close. That raised structure is the whole character of this set, and it is why the pattern cannot wear off the way a print does.
Picking the size
Match the set to the mattress. Double fits a 135 by 190 cm mattress, King fits 150 by 200, and Super King fits 180 by 200. When in doubt, size up: the generous overhang is what makes a designed bed read as designed.
The designer behind it
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is one of Britain's most recognised interior designers, known for exuberant pattern and the belief that a home should be a stage for personality and beauty. This is a licensed design from his soft-furnishings collection: the damask went through a designer's process, not a branding exercise, and the fabric was chosen to do it justice.
Washing velvet
A cool, gentle machine cycle at 30 degrees, never hot. No high-heat tumble: air dry or use the lowest setting, which protects the pile and the embossed texture. Never iron directly on the velvet; steam from a distance if a crease needs persuading. Cared for like this, the embossed jacquard holds its pattern and pile through years of washing.
Storing it between seasons
Breathable cotton or linen bags rather than plastic, folded loosely rather than compressed, in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight. Cedar blocks or lavender sachets are the traditional moth deterrent, and they work.
