So much the French do well is worth bringing home — and bedding is no exception.
Natural fibres, breathable weaves and linens that soften with time, it is a well-known fact in France that quality materials mean a better quality of sleep. In summer, you’ll find French beds made up with cool percale and white linen sheets; in winter, feather duvets and quilted boutis (comforters) are layered for warmth and texture, often paired with washed linen shams and a folded coverlet, for a considered, yet slightly undone feel.

Lulu and Georgia
For those that like a modern, curated vibe, Lulu & Georgia is where to shop. Their collection has a choice of textures, from crisp percale, to smooth sateen or washed linen sheets for a softer, nubby feel. Try pairing with one of their bed accessories — either a printed blanket, velvet quilt, cushions or bedskirt, for a luxurious and layered look.
Anthropologie
A classic choice, Anthropologie’s bedding is beloved for their maximalist, painterly prints, scallop details, embroideries and vintage-inspired motifs. We’re particularly drawn to their organic cotton and linen options, as well as their Vichy prints and country-style florals.
Merci
A personal favorite, the Merci store in the Marais is bedding heaven. Alongside their curated kitchenware, home accessories and fashion items, the store displays a colorful range of bedding and blankets. Keep an eye out for their washed linen collection. Luxurious yet with that signature rumple, they make the perfect accompaniment to beds in Paris and the French countryside alike.
Chateau de Ma Mère
Next, this brand by Souphie Douzal, inspired by her life in Provence, is a must-visit for those who want to bring a touch of the south home with them. Expect a blend of traditional and modernized patterns in rich hues with detailed trimming. From their pillow cases to their printed quilts, the whole collection is designed and made in Provence, instantly evoking the sokendor of the French country style.
Serena & Lily
An American brand, Serena & Lily perfectly captures the breezy French coastal aesthetic. Enhanced with artisanal like hand-stitched details, the collection comes in a crisp color range that suits both seaside and city homes alike. Whether you prefer linen, percale, or sateen, you’ll find pieces that quietly celebrate craftsmanship and easy, refined living.
Bonsoirs
Finally, a Paris-based boutique. Bonsoirs has quietly become one of France’s most beloved modern linen houses. Combining luxury with a contemporary sense of comfort, each piece is made from long-staple cotton, washed percale or cotton gauze, chosen for its softness, breathability and ease of care. The aesthetic is relaxed but thoughtful. Fine ginghams and striped sheets in faded tones, or white percale trimmed with discreet piping — perfect for layering.
