Bedding's new guard: rising brands redefine the sleep experience

From hand-woven textures reminiscent of Nordic landscapes to vintage-inspired prints echoing forgotten eras, a fresh wave of brands is disrupting the bedding market. Shopping editors at AD have identified the most promising newcomers poised to elevate your bedroom.

Nordic knots: scandinavian sophistication takes hold

Established in 2016, Nordic Knots has quickly gained a devoted following for its refined Scandinavian aesthetic and bold patterns. The brand's latest bedding collection, launched last year, expands upon its signature style—a blend of crisp linens, romantic headboards, and dramatic cushions—using nuanced neutrals and captivating prints. Their piped duvet covers earned top honors from AD last year for their hotel-worthy details.

The Square Kelim bedspread, hand-woven with wool sourced from New Zealand, exemplifies this understated luxury. AD contributor Sydney Gore describes the collection as featuring “crisp bedding, romantic headboards, dramatic cushions, and cashmere throws offered in a range of nuanced neutrals, ambient accent colors, and seductive patterns (think: leopard in a luxe jacquard and a large-scale, chocolatey brown checkerboard).”

Joon loloi: a nod to nostalgia and handcraftsmanship

Launched in February 2026, Joon Loloi builds on its reputation for eclectic furnishings with a bedding line deeply rooted in vintage inspiration. Think prints reminiscent of antique rugs and tapestries, alongside nostalgic botanical motifs. Hand-stitched details on their quilts and coverlets lend a modern heirloom feel.

The Bronwyn Quilt – $199 at Joon Loloi – showcases this commitment to artistry. The brand's pieces offer a romantic, lived-in atmosphere – a welcome departure from minimalist trends.

Rebecca udall: timeless elegance with a modern touch

Rebecca Udall's linen brand, founded in 2019, specializes in timeless pieces elevated by delicate appliqué borders and hand embroidery. The company’s artisans, primarily based in Italy and Portugal, ensure exceptional quality and breathability, utilizing materials like long-staple cotton and Belgian flax.

Thea Scalloped Sheets – $374 at Rebecca Udall – exemplify the brand's commitment to refined details. The brand's focus is on enduring quality, a rarity in the fast-fashion world of home goods.

Morrow soft goods: '70s revival with a sustainable soul

Morrow Soft Goods combines a nostalgic sensibility with a dedication to sustainability. Their collection features nature-inspired colors and patterns, with a distinctly '70s vibe. The brand prioritizes organic materials and ethical production, creating a bedroom sanctuary that’s both soothing and environmentally conscious.

Rachel Fletcher, AD’s shopping director, particularly favors the cotton gauze quilt in juniper, praising its tranquil color and soft texture.

Magniberg: fashion-forward bedding for the discerning eye

Swedish design duo Magniberg is blurring the lines between fashion and home decor. Their bedding collections, mixing smooth satins and breezy linens in classic Scandinavian hues, encourage a playful approach to style. The Wall Street patchwork duvet, echoing the tailored aesthetic of a banker's wardrobe, is a standout.

The brand’s attention to detail is evident in pieces like the Pure Pima Cotton Pillow Case – $50 at Moda Operandi— demonstrating a commitment to quality materials.

Bolé road textiles: graphic maximalism from ethiopia

Hana Getachew's New York-based brand, Bolé Road Textiles, brings a vibrant perspective to the bedding category. Inspired by her Ethiopian heritage, the brand offers maximalist decors featuring graphic patterns and bold colors, handwoven by artisans in Ethiopia.

The Bale Pillow – $255 at West Elm – is a testament to the brand’s commitment to contemporary takes on traditional East African textiles.

Kotn: retro comfort with an eco-conscious approach

Known for its organic cotton basics, Kotn has expanded into bedding with a focus on classic styles and sustainable practices. Their micro-striped duvet covers and quilted comforters offer a retro appeal, all crafted from materials like long-staple Egyptian cotton.

The Duvet Cover and Sham Set – $225 at Kotn – reflects the brand’s dedication to quality and ethical sourcing.

These emerging brands aren't just offering bedding; they’re cultivating a mood, a story, a personal statement for the modern home.
