If you want classy, not trashy, then buy linen bedwear. It feels great but doesn't have the 'Playboy Mansion' vibe that silk or satin does.

Or, if you want something more manageable (linen cannot be washed hot and does not like the tumbledryer) then get some 'Hotel' cotton bedwear. Go for the highest threadcount for the most luxurious feel.

Avoid bright colours and black, choose grey for that classy 5* hotel look.

My advice would be to go for good quality cotton with a high thread count. Choose solid colours that match your bedroom decor and buy three sets that match or contrast so the sheets and pillow cases are interchangeable.

Line dry them finish in the tumble dryer to avoid ironing

Start with protective mattress cover - these are not waterproof but are stain resistant and just add another layer between body and very expensive mattress.

Get fitted sheet for bottom sheet, flat sheet for upper sheet. Go for a good quality duvet - look at the multi-season duvets that have a thin one for summer, a medium one for spring/autumn, and then they button together to form a thick one for the winter. Always use a duvet cover. Get decent quality pillows, always use a plain inner cover and your chosen colour/pattern outer cover.

You could go for matching set of sheets, duvet cover, pillow cases, or buy contrasting/complementary colours or patterns, this depends on your own tastes and the decor it is to go with. As others have said, good quality high thread count cotton will be better value than cheap stuff.

Get at least two sets of everything, you could get all identical, or you could get different sets in different colours and designs.

Personally, I like bright colours and bohemian patterns. I like to make the bed with contrasting rather than matching colours, or say put a light green top sheet with bottle green bottom sheet. Also every bed is improved if the duvet cover is a riot of colour featuring elephants!

Decide what look you're going for. Buy high quality. High but not super high thread count (1000 feels amazing but it's not durable). Natural fibres - cotton, linen, silk, bamboo. Non natural fibres are less breathable and will make you sweat more.

House of Fraser and Debenhams often have good sales, Just Linen is a good site particularly when you can hit sales.

I'm of the mindset that less is more, and my sheets are all white.

Don't worry about fancy.

Go for comfort and get some brushed cotton bedding.

Have pillows of different thickness as some people can't sleep on a big pillow.

Yes silk looks the part but is really not practical. I wouldn't stress about it too much OP as long as the pillow cases and quilt cover match you're good to go.

I wouldn't do bottom sheet in silk. Otherwise maybe, if you run to it. (I have silk pillowcases for my hair. It doesn't entirely match the rest of it but honestly no one's looking at my bed)

I had no idea about silk pillowcases having an effect on your hair till I read this, I have just googled it and I am now going to have to invest in silk pillowcases, I had no idea!

Check out Jasmine Silk - half silk, half cotton pillowcases, much cheaper. (Satin also works but isn't breathable)

Note that giraffes are also acceptable, or flocks of brightly coloured parrots. Avoid pandas unless your theme is mostly monochromatic. Warthogs are not a good idea.

I got a cute little Halloween set from Tesco a few days ago.

I would be well impressed if a man took me back to his house and he had themed bedding.

Asda is pretty good too.

Excellent advice. Cotton, around 300 count thread, plain colours like ivory or something similar depending on the look you want to achieve. Plenty of reasonably priced stuff on ebay, sometimes tkmax and similar.

Sorry to hear about your wife OP.

Get yourself down Dunelm and you won't go too far wrong. As others have said, go cotton. The easier the maintenance, the better

Haha I’d get black ones with discreet logo so didn’t clash

If you have a cold place, then brushed cotton is really warm, but it does bobble. Jersey bedding is like your favourite t-shirt and is stretchy. I have both.

Stags, tartan and a p[lain side always looks classy. Not just for Xmas!

Aldi. Asda and LIDL are a good starting point.

Sorry for your loss.

Go for natural fibres, go for colours/patterns you like. Synthetic, whatever the percentage of it there is, is awful. Brushed cotton for winter, but that's me being cold most of the time talking. Good luck.
