Your bed is your sanctuary after a long day and sleep is especially important for uni students. Invest in a comfortable duvet, pillows, and maybe a throw to keep your space feeling inviting and cosy. Whether you’re moving out or staying at home, refreshing your space at the start of term can help create the perfect environment for student life. Primark, The White Company, M&S and John Lewis & Partners have hundreds of bedding and home décor options to fit every aesthetic!
