Dunelm Keeping Warm Collection 2026: Our Favourites for Cosy Season
This post contains affiliate links.
The clocks change and suddenly it’s a different house. One minute everyone’s still in shorts moaning about the heat, the next there are jumpers on every radiator and someone’s asking why the heating “isn’t working” (it is working, you’re just cold, put a jumper on). I tell myself every year I’ll be more prepared, and every year I still end up hunting for a hot water bottle at 9pm on the first proper cold night.
Dunelm have absolutely smashed it again this year with their Keeping Warm collection. I’ve been through the whole range so you don’t have to, and there is so much I want (NEED!). From bedding that looks soooooo cosy and inviting, to electric blankets that make getting into bed feel like a treat, here is my edit of the very best of the Dunelm keeping warm collection 2026.
Cosy Bedding
Nothing sets the tone for the whole evening like proper cosy bedding, and this is where Dunelm consistently delivers. These teddy and fleece sets are a gorgeous soft weight and instantly make even the coldest bedroom feel more inviting. I absolutely LOVE the cable knit borg fleece. It’s giving ski chalet vibes.
Teddy Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set* Best for: the softest bed in the house, no contest. A classic teddy fleece set in a soft blush tone that looks like getting into a giant cuddle every single night. A lovely pick for the coldest nights of the year.
Cable Fleece Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set* Best for: that chunky knit jumper feeling, but for your bed. A cable knit effect fleece set in a lovely warm fawn. It looks like it should cost twice as much as it does.
Borg Fleece Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set* Best for: a warmer, more textured take on classic teddy. A soft borg-style fleece set in a cosy cream tone. Looks lovely for the price.
Maven Check Fleece Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set* Best for: adding a bit of pattern without going overboard. A soft check fleece set that brings a bit more personality to the bedroom while still being snuggly.
Fleece Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set* Best for: a simple, no-fuss cosy upgrade. A plain fleece set in a rich navy that works in pretty much any bedroom. Sometimes you just want warm and uncomplicated, and this delivers exactly that.
Timeless Fur Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set* Best for: the ultimate hotel-luxury bedroom moment. A faux fur set in crisp white that instantly makes a bedroom feel like a five star retreat. This is the one I would genuinely have for myself.
Mum-to-Mum Tip: If you’re only changing one thing about your bedroom this autumn, make it the bedding. It is the cheapest, easiest way to make the whole room feel warmer, and it means the heating doesn’t need to go on quite so early in the evening.
Throws and Blankets
There’s nothing more comforting than sinking into the sofa with a good throw over your knees and something trashy on the telly (The Traitors, Motherland and GBBO are firm favourites in our house). We have throws in every room of the house and not because they look lovely (they do of course) but because they genuinely do keep you warmer!
I’ve picked out some of my faves worth having draped over the sofa arm or across the end of a bed for whoever needs it.
Quilted Stripe Weighted Throw* Best for: the weighted blanket feeling with a slightly more grown-up look. A quilted stripe design that works well in a living room as much as a bedroom.
Fogarty Calm and Cosy Weighted Blanket* Best for: winding down at the end of a long day. A 7kg weighted blanket in a lovely sage green, designed to help you relax and drift off faster.
Chunky Waffle Throw* Best for: texture that actually holds up in the wash. A chunky waffle knit throw in dusty blue that looks gorgeous folded over the end of the bed or the arm of the sofa.
Double Sided Faux Fur Throw* Best for: two textures in one throw. A double sided design in a rich mocha tone, soft on both sides and endlessly snuggly.
Catherine Lansfield Cosy Diamond Throw* Best for: a classic textured throw that goes with everything. A quilted diamond design throw that looks smart on any sofa and layers beautifully with cushions.
Leopard Print Faux Fur Throw* Best for: adding a bit of glamour to an otherwise neutral room. A leopard print faux fur throw that looks seriously high-end draped over a chair or the end of the bed.
Mum-to-Mum Tip: My top tip here is one throw per person if you can manage it, so nobody has to fight over the good one during film night. It sounds excessive, but it’s a good idea if you want to keep everyone happy.
Electric Blankets and Throws
If you have never used an electric blanket, this is your sign. Popping one on twenty minutes before bed turns a genuinely freezing bedroom into somewhere you actually want to climb into, and the electric throws are brilliant for anyone who works from home or just feels the cold more than everyone else in the house (you know who you are).
Dimplex Heated Fleece Throw* Best for: a trusted heating brand you know will last. A heated fleece throw in white and grey from Dimplex, a name that’s been doing this for decades.
Highland Cow Electric Throw* Best for: the highland cow fan who also feels the cold. A sherpa electric throw with a highland cow print, because warmth and personality don’t have to be separate things.
Teddy Electric Blanket* Best for: warming the bed up before you even get in it. A teddy fleece electric underblanket that takes the edge off a cold bedroom in minutes.
Teddy Electric Throw* Best for: the softest possible way to warm up on the sofa. A teddy fleece electric throw in a lovely cream tone with adjustable heat settings. A gorgeous pick for the coldest evenings.
Luxury Cotton Electric Blanket* Best for: an everyday under blanket that goes the distance. A Fogarty electric blanket built to be used every single day.
Billie Fleece Electric Throw* Best for: a slightly more grown up colour palette. A fleece electric throw in a beautiful olive green that looks smart as well as being genuinely warm.
Mum-to-Mum Tip: Always check the safety instructions before you let older kids use an electric throw or blanket unsupervised, and never leave one switched on while you sleep unless it’s specifically designed for overnight use. Once you’ve got the basics sorted though, these genuinely make the whole house feel warmer without turning the heating up.
Dunelm Hot Water Bottles 2026
A good hot water bottle is one of those small things that makes a genuinely big difference. I love the fact that hot water bottles are actually soft and cuddly these days – rather than the basic rubber versions we had back in the 90s. I’ve picked out some of my faves below but if I’m being completely honest, the Hazel the Highland cow wins every single time!
Cable Faux Fur Hot Water Bottle* Best for: that chunky knit look again, but smaller and cosier. A cable knit style faux fur cover in a soft neutral tone.
Hazel the Highland Cow Long Hot Water Bottle* Best for: sitting in your lap on the sofa. A long hot water bottle with the most adorable highland cow face, and easily the cutest thing on this list (IMO).
Teddy Sandstone Long Hot Water Bottle* Best for: a classic neutral that goes with any bedroom. Long and covered in soft teddy fleece, this sandstone hot water bottle is the sort of easy, understated buy that never looks out of place.
Cow Print Faux Fur Hot Water Bottle* Best for: gift-buying, or anyone who wants their hot water bottle to double as decor. A playful cow print cover that’s sure to raise a smile, keeping you cosy in bed or curled up on the sofa.
Pink Hot Water Bottle* Best for: the fluffiest possible option. A silky soft pom pom hot water bottle in a pretty pink that feels like holding a cloud. 100% my daughters favourite!
Leopard Print Hot Water Bottle* Best for: a bit of glamour at bedtime. A long faux fur hot water bottle in a bold leopard print that looks as good as it feels.
Mum-to-Mum Tip: Always let a hot water bottle cool slightly before filling right to the top, and never use boiling water straight from the kettle, especially with kids. Fill it about two thirds full, squeeze the air out before you screw the lid on, and it’ll last you years rather than months.
Electric Heaters
Every house has one room that just will not warm up, whether that’s a playroom, a home office or a conservatory that turns into a fridge the second autumn hits. These freestanding and plug in heaters are an easy fix without cranking the central heating up for the whole house.
Bath Stove Fire* Best for: a classic stove look without the actual stove. A flame effect stove fire in cream that looks brilliant as a compact focal point in a living room.
Chiminea Style Flame Effect Stove* Best for: bringing outdoor-fire warmth into a garden room or snug. A green chiminea style heater with a flame effect that suits a space a standard stove shape wouldn’t.
Monet Electric Suite* Best for: replacing an open fire, surround included. This is a full fireplace suite rather than a standalone heater — mantel and all, for a proper period look.
Small Square Olive Heater* Best for: a small space that still wants some style. Compact and olive green – a home office or box room heater that doesn’t look like an afterthought.
Plug in Heater* Best for: a quick, no-fuss top-up of heat. No stove looks, no styling – just a small plug-in unit for a hallway or bathroom where nothing else would fit. I didn’t even know such a thing existed!
Large Stove Effect Heater* Best for: making a real impact in a bigger room. A large black stove effect heater that looks like a proper fireplace, minus the actual chimney.
Mum-to-Mum Tip: Always keep heaters away from curtains, furniture and anything flammable, and never leave one running unattended or overnight unless it’s specifically designed for that. Beyond that, a smaller heater in just the room you’re using is often cheaper to run than turning the central heating up for the whole house.
Cosy Loungewear and Slippers
Once the kids are in bed and the day is finally done, this is the bit I actually look forward to: getting out of “work” clothes and into something built purely for comfort. Dunelm’s loungewear range is full of exactly that, from proper cosy robes to slippers you can heat up in the microwave.
Microwavable Slipper Boots* Best for: warming cold feet in minutes. A pair of boucle slipper boots with a heatable insert you pop in the microwave, perfect for anyone who feels the cold the moment the heating goes off.
Silky Fleece Bathrobe* Best for: an everyday robe that still feels a bit special. A silky soft fleece robe in a rich brown, ideal for lounging around on a Sunday morning.
Sheepskin Slippers* Best for: proper, long-lasting warmth. A genuine sheepskin slipper from Just Sheepskin in a warm chestnut tone, built to be worn every day through the colder months.
Ladies Oversized Hoodie* Best for: the ultimate sofa uniform. A reversible oversized hoodie in grey that works just as well as a dressing gown alternative or for popping to the school run in.
Women’s Bathrobe and Towels Set* Best for: a spa moment at home. A set of four from Per La Casa – a robe and matching towels – so everything feels coordinated rather than thrown together.
Striped Bathrobe* Best for: a lighter, more classic look. A striped robe in a soft natural tone that works equally well as a dressing gown or loungewear.
Mum-to-Mum Tip: If you’re buying loungewear as a gift, sizing up is usually the safer bet, since most of these pieces are designed to be worn oversized and cosy rather than fitted.
Draught Excluders
A draught excluder is one of those things that sounds boring until you actually get one, and then you wonder how you managed without it. These ones from Dunelm double up as something genuinely cute to look at by the front door, rather than just a plain fabric tube.
Cockapoo Draught Excluder* Best for: dog lovers who don’t have an actual dog (or do!). A fluffy cockapoo shaped excluder that looks the part lying by any door.
Zig Zag Draught Excluder* Best for: something more textured and neutral. A cable knit style excluder in cream that suits a more grown-up hallway.
Sausage Dog Draught Excluder* Best for: the novelty factor. Sam the sausage dog is a fun, characterful excluder that’s an easy way to add some charm to a hallway or bedroom door.
Teddy Taupe Draught Excluder* Best for: keeping things neutral and soft. A teddy bear style excluder that blends into most hallway colour schemes.
Highland Cow Draught Excluder* Best for: matching the highland cow hot water bottle upstairs. Henry the highland cow is a shaggy, characterful excluder that adds a bit of personality to any doorway.
Stripey Blue Draught Excluder* Best for: a simple, classic look. A blue and white striped excluder that works well in a coastal or classic-styled hallway.
Mum-to-Mum Tip: Draught excluders are also brilliant for internal doors, not just the front door, particularly on bedroom doors if you’re trying to keep the heat from a heater or electric blanket in one room.
