Bedding deals – how to get the best savings on duvets, pillows and linens
The what, where and whens you need to know
Bedding deals are great news if you're looking to upgrade your boudoir for less, with big savings on bestselling duvets, pillows, mattress toppers, bed linen, and much, much more.
We've spent a lot of time testing and getting to know the best duvets, pillows and so much more so we know how to advise you on the top materials, fillings and other features to look out for.
Top quality bedding like this can come at a price (although we do rate some bargain buys too!), so we've broken down when, where and how to shop to make sure you're getting the best deal possible. As Black Friday homes deals are currently live, we've also included a few of the top deals you can shop right now.
Best bedding deals
Although Black Friday doesn't fall until November 28th, many brands have been running their deals weeks before the big day. Here are our favourites that we've come across.
This already affordable electric blanket is now an even better price. It's back to basis, but delivers everything you need to stay warm in bed this winter for less.
A wool duvet is usually expensive, but with 35% off, now only the Super King size goes over the £100 mark. Wool's temperature-regulating qualities mean it keeps you warm without overheating – perfect for cold winter temperatures.
This bamboo memory foam pillow from Panda really impressed in our testing. There's 20% off in the Black Friday Argos sale now, and their Price Promise means this won't get reduced any more this year.

When is the best time to find bedding deals?
Finding the cheapest prices on bed linen, pillows and duvets can all come down to knowing when to shop. There are a few key dates to bear in mind to help you to time your search for the best bedding deals with the times that retailers are most likely to be slashing their prices.
First Black Friday, the biggest sales event of the year. In previous years, Black Friday bedding deals have delivered some hefty discounting, with sales at John Lewis & Partners and The White Company (although the retailer brands its own event as a 'White Weekend' instead), up to 40% off at M&S, up to 70% off at DUSK, up to 50% off at La Redoute, and a whole host more savings.
Amazon Prime Day is another key event. For the last couple of years this has happen twice, in June and in October. Expect to see deals on brands like Simba and Silentnight.
Then there are the seasonal sales, especially end of summer, the January sales and Boxing Day. The discounts for the latter can often start well before Boxing Day itself, with online retailers increasingly offering discounts as soon as their pre-Christmas shipping dates have passed, although January can often have even better deals on offer thanks to most people reigning in their spending that month.
