In the mood to bring the wild, wild West into your bedroom? If you're looking to incorporate some rugged ranch charm and rustic flair into your sleeping sanctuary, you’re in luck! There’s a whole world of bedding dedicated to Western-style design. In this quick shopping guide, we’re discussing the basic elements of crafting cozy comfort—Western style.
What Exactly is Western Bedding?
In a nutshell, Western bedding is bedding design that celebrates, and is inspired by, the culture and lifestyle of the good Old West. The history of the American frontier is rich and dynamic, grounded in the outdoors and classic cowboy living. Western bedding pulls inspiration from these core elements. Like a cozy ranch house, Western-themed interiors usually mirror the beauty of natural Western landscapes and the cowboy lifestyle.

Textured Fabrics
In the West, we like our fabrics like we like our terrain: textured and with plenty of character. Textured fabrics add visual interest and invite a tactile experience, making your bed look and feel extra inviting. Our Stonewashed Cotton Gauze Quilt is as soft as a well-worn blanket, while the Carmen Kilim Bedding Set adds visual and tactile interest with its woven design.

Unexpected Touches of Opulence
Western bedding can be as modern as it is rustic, so don’t hesitate to mix in fabrics that veer away from the obvious choices. As long as you’re adding them in with tasteful restraint, they can add personality and unexpected opulence to your Western bed. Our velvety Stella Faux Silk Velvet Double Box Stitch Throw is perfect for this—drape it over your bed for a casual touch of luxury. Or, go bold and throw in our sleek Red Leather Pillow for edgy, attention-grabbing flair.

Airy Layers
Western landscapes are known for their scorching deserts. Depending on where you are in the world, you might be dealing with similar heat and your bedding should adapt to that. Opt for light, breathable fabrics like our Stonewashed Cotton Waffle Weave Coverlet and silky-smooth Lyocell Sheet Set. While these pieces don’t fit the classic Western aesthetic, they’re more than appropriate for Western climates and offer supreme comfort year-round, whether it’s high summer or late fall. Just layer on heavier pieces as the temperature drops. Like a good ranch hand, it’s all about versatility. For even easier layering, choose solid colors in warm or neutral shades that you can easily pair with your Western bedding pieces.
