Are you looking for a gift that won't end up in a drawer after three days? Then it's worth taking a look at an idea that many initially underestimate: bedding as a gift. Hardly any other present is used so intensively – we spend around a third of our lives in bed. Giving high-quality bedding means giving comfort, warmth and a little piece of well-being all over again every night. And because many people rarely treat themselves to fine qualities, this gift hits a special nerve: It is practical for everyday use and at the same time a real moment of luxury.
A suitable gift set is put together by the biberna gift finder with two questions: bedding in the right size, with a fitted sheet and pillowcases in the same color if desired.
Why giving bedding as a gift is such a good idea
A good gift meets three criteria: It is really needed, it lasts a long time and it regularly reminds the recipient of the giver. High-quality bedding meets all three. It is not a dust collector, but a useful item that brings joy for many years if of good quality. Added to that is the emotional value: A freshly made bed in a cozy or fine quality is the epitome of security for many people.
At biberna, another argument comes into play: Behind the brand is a family business that has been weaving in Hamminkeln since 1932 and invented Biber bedding (brushed cotton flannel) in 1968. Giving a piece of biberna also means giving a piece of textile tradition from Hamminkeln since 1932. This can be wonderfully told when presenting it and makes the gift more personal than any voucher.
Which quality suits whom?
The biggest advantage of a bedding gift: You can specifically tailor the quality to the recipient.
For people who get cold at night
Pamper the chilly ones with Melange Flannel – our "Flannel Bedding 2.0". The quality developed by biberna from 100% cotton is particularly fluffy and soft and keeps you warm naturally. A gift that makes the difference on cold nights.
For lovers of fine things
Those who like it smooth, cool and elegant will enjoy Mako Satin: the finest combed cotton in sateen weave, with high-quality zippers and soft printing. This quality hugs you comfortably – ideal for everyone who values a well-kept bedroom.
Ready packaged: Muslin in a fabric bag
A secret tip for gift-givers is our Muslin Bedding: It comes sustainably packaged in a pretty bag made of muslin fabric – so the gift is practically already wrapped. The airy-soft quality has developed from an initially laughed-at test product into a bestseller that was at times sold out for three years straight.
What you should pay attention to when giving a gift
To make the surprise a success, it is worth taking a quick look at three points. First, the size: In Germany, 135 × 200 cm is the common standard size for duvets – if you are unsure, our guide "Bedding Sizes Explained" helps further. Second, the taste: In case of doubt, choose timeless solid colors or subtle patterns instead of striking designs. Third, the care: It is a good idea to include a note with the gift that new bedding should be washed before the first use – practical tips on this can be found in our post "Washing and Caring for Bedding Correctly".
Another plus point: As a manufacturer, we offer our original qualities directly at the manufacturer's preferential price. So you are giving a quality that is often sold significantly more expensively in retail – with Melange Flannel, retail customers can even have the same quality manufactured as their own brand and sometimes pay well over 100 euros for it. So your gift seems more valuable than it burdens your budget.
For those who want to shorten the selection: The gift finder asks about the person being gifted, about the duvet and mattress and suggests a coordinated gift set from this.
For people who get cold at night, the guide Gift for Chilly Ones shows which bedding, which fitted sheet and which throw blanket warm best.
Why bedding belongs to the gifts that do not end up in the drawer is explained by the guide Meaningful Gifts.
