Black bedding gives a bedroom a bold, grounded look and pairs easily with white, grey or wooden furniture. At Land of Beds, we've been helping people across the UK put their bedrooms together for over 50 years, and our black bedding focuses on reversible duvet cover sets that give you two looks from one set. Each set includes matching pillowcases, is machine washable, and comes in single, double or king size, with prices starting from £25. Free delivery is available on orders over £100, alongside our Price Promise Guarantee and expert advice from our team.
Browse the collection below, or read on for sizing, pairing and care advice. Our team is available seven days a week if you'd like help choosing.
Bedding is the quickest way to change how a bedroom feels, and black makes a strong statement. Depending on the print and what you pair it with, it can look sharp and modern, cosy and moody, or playful. Getting the size right matters just as much as the look, because a cover that doesn't match your duvet never sits properly. We've kept this guide short and practical, so you can find the right set and get on with enjoying it.
Three things decide whether a duvet cover set suits you. Get these right and the rest comes down to taste.
| Factor | Why It Matters | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Your duvet cover needs to match your duvet, not just your bed. A cover that's too big bunches up, and one that's too small won't fasten properly. | Your duvet's dimensions, and the cover size on the product listing |
| Design | Black bedding ranges from bold, dark-based prints to lighter designs with black detailing. Reversible sets give you a second look without buying again. | How much black you want in the room, and what's on the reverse side |
| Fabric and care | Fabric affects how the bedding feels, how quickly it dries and whether it needs ironing. | Fabric blend, wash temperature and tumble dry guidance on each listing |

Duvet covers are sized to fit a duvet, which is larger than the mattress underneath. Use this table to find the right cover for your duvet.
| Size | Duvet Cover Dimensions | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 135 x 200cm, with 1 pillowcase | Single duvets, usually on single beds in children's rooms, teen rooms and guest rooms |
| Double | 200 x 200cm, with 2 pillowcases | Double duvets, usually on double beds |
| King Size | 220 x 230cm, with 2 pillowcases | King size duvets, usually on king size beds |
Pillowcases in our black duvet cover sets measure 50 x 75cm, which fits a standard UK pillow. If you use a larger duvet than your bed size for extra coverage, choose the cover that matches the duvet. Available sizes can vary, so check each product listing before ordering.

Black bedding works with most bedroom colour schemes, but the bed and headboard around it change the overall effect. Here's how it tends to look against the most common finishes.
| Bed or Headboard | How It Looks | Things to Consider |
|---|---|---|
| White or light frame | High contrast, crisp and graphic | Works especially well with monochrome prints |
| Black frame or headboard | Moody and cohesive | Lighter pillows, a throw or the lighter reverse of your set stops the bed looking flat |
| Grey or upholstered headboard | Softer contrast with a modern feel | Prints with white or cream detail add lift against grey |
| Wooden frame | Warm and grounded | Natural and oak tones balance the depth of black bedding |

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What sizes does your black bedding come in? | Our black duvet cover sets come in single, double and king size. Each size is made to fit a duvet rather than a mattress, so match the cover to your duvet's dimensions. Available sizes can change, so check the individual product listing before ordering. |
| Do black duvet cover sets come with pillowcases? | Yes. Single sets include one pillowcase, and double and king size sets include two. The pillowcases measure 50 x 75cm, which fits a standard UK pillow. |
| Does a duvet cover set include a duvet? | No. A duvet cover set is the cover and pillowcases only. If you need a duvet as well, browse our duvets, where you can choose by size and tog. |
| Is your black bedding reversible? | Our current black duvet cover sets are reversible, with a different design on each side. That gives you two looks from one set, so you can switch between a bolder and a lighter side without buying new bedding. Check each listing to see what's on the reverse. |
| What is your black bedding made from? | Our black duvet cover sets are polyester and cotton blends with a smooth percale weave, and some use recycled polyester and responsibly sourced cotton. Polycotton is easy to care for and dries quickly. Sets in our current range carry MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX certification, and each listing shows the exact fabric blend. |
| How do I wash black bedding? | Our black duvet cover sets are machine washable at 40°C and safe to tumble dry. Washing new black bedding with similar dark colours for the first few washes helps protect lighter items in the same load. Always follow the care label on your set, and see our guide on why regular bedding washes matter for more advice. |
| Do you offer free delivery on black bedding? | Free delivery applies to orders over £100 for most mainland UK postcodes. Orders under £100 carry a £10 delivery charge, so adding a duvet, pillows or sheets can bring your order over the threshold. Some further-out postcodes may incur charges. See our delivery page for full details. |
| Can I return black bedding? | Yes, within 14 days of delivery as long as it's unused. For hygiene reasons, we can't accept bedding that has been used unless it's faulty. If you'd like us to collect the return, a collection charge applies and is deducted from your refund. See our returns page for details. |
| Can I buy black bedding on finance? | Finance options are available on eligible orders. See our finance page for eligibility criteria and how to apply. |
