Piglet in Bed Revives Morris & Co.’s Iconic Prints
When your design archive dates back to 1861, saying you have options feels like an understatement – both a blessing and a curse for Sussex-born bedding brand Piglet in Bed, which has just cracked open the archives of heritage British design house Morris & Co. for a new collaboration. A botanically inspired, pattern-drenched bedding collection that brings fresh life (and a little more leisure) to the house’s storied, medieval-inspired prints.
Morris & Co. loyalists will recognize the familiar climbing branches and scattered acorns of the Oak pattern – now softened into a calming Leafy Green – or the scrolling acanthus leaves of Double Bough, originally designed by John Henry Dearle in 1892 and reissued for 2025 with a vivid, contemporary pop against Webbs Blue.
On Piglet’s end, icons were just as obviously in order – reinterpreting Morris & Co.’s nature-driven motifs in its signature best bed sheet blends of linen and crisp 100 percent cotton percale, all pre-washed (of course) for that soft, lived-in feel Piglet has made its calling card.

‘The idea for this collection sparked during a period of rediscovery,’ says Piglet in Bed’s Design Manager, Adam Crick. ‘We saw a growing desire for authenticity, storytelling, and craft in interiors. Morris & Co.’s legacy of intricate, nature-based patterns felt like the perfect answer to this moment,’ he says.
The collaboration’s romantic, nostalgic layers are the ideal way to mix patterns ahead of cozy season – or to lean into the subtler side of maximalism through the year’s most modest bedding trend: the ‘surprise’ fitted sheet, essentially maximalism for minimalists.

Whether you choose to layer these heritage designs from top to bottom or simply mix in a pop with a pillowcase, centuries of history can’t be wrong. No matter which motif you choose or how you style it, it’s timeless – and, in Piglet’s fan-favorite fabrications, deeply dreamy, too.

Leafy Arbour Oak Washed Cotton Percale Pillowcases, Set of 2
Green is one of the few neutrals that still counts as a color. These botanically patterned pillowcases work just as well with soft creams and beiges as they do alongside richer tones like rust or oxblood once the holidays hit.

Webbs Blue Double Bough Linen Blend Pillowcases, Set of 2
Linen or cotton? Piglet’s signature 55% European linen and 45% long-staple cotton blend settles the eternal debate: you get both. Rendered in Morris & Co’s Webbs Blue – a deep shade conceived by William Morris’s architect friend Philip Webb – it feels moody enough to match the weather outside.

Soft Sage Honeysuckle Linen Blend Pillowcases, Set of 2
Rest your head on a tangle of climbing stems and delicate blooms, printed in a calming Soft Sage that feels even gentler rendered in Piglet’s signature linen–cotton blend. Subtle details, like the neat envelope closure, keep things looking perpetually pulled together.

Leafy Arbour Oak Washed Cotton Percale Duvet Cover
This organic Oak print holds its own, but true to Piglet’s mix-and-match philosophy, it only gets better in conversation. Try pairing this botanical duvet with the brand’s gingham sheet set in Sage.

Webbs Blue Double Bough Linen Blend Duvet Cover
Double Bough has been in rotation since the ’70s, but it’s never looked (or functioned) quite like this, finished with coconut-shell buttons and fitted with discreet corner ties. Drape it over a striped sheet set – John Henry Dearle would approve.

Soft Sage Honeysuckle Linen Blend Duvet Cover
Honeysuckle dates back to 1883, dreamed up by William Morris’s daughter and still as spirited today. Rendered mostly in greens and blues with soft bursts of pink-purple florals, it’s a print that invites play. Try echoing those berry tones in your pillowcases or throws.
Creating this characterful collaboration, two masters in their own right found common ground in the most personal of places: the bedroom. Explore more interior design ideas to make your new sheets sing.
