We’re counting down the days to Christmas and New Year’s. Not only does it mean days spent with our closest friends and family are on the radar, but it also means sleep-ins are on repeat until January.
And, when it comes to sleep-ins, one key ingredient to a restful night’s sleep is to ensure you have the right sheets for the season. With balmy nights being the reality in summer it would be wise to refresh your bedding with some lightweight bamboo or linen bed sheets, and/or sheets with a lower thread count.
The design, colour and style of bed sheets you choose will become the focal point of your bedroom. That’s why choosing the right ones that suit your design aesthetic is just as important as opting for a breathable material for the warmer seasons.
To help you in your search, we’ve rounded up the best summer sheets to shop in Australia – with design and breathability in mind – below.
