Medieval Mornings: Enhancing Your Routine with Castlecore-Inspired Pajamas and Cozy Bedding
Wake Up Like Royalty: Embrace the Castlecore Dream in Cozy Pyjamas and Enchanted Bedding🕯️
What’s the best way to wake up to the sunrise in your bedroom in the east wing of your little medieval castle? With the perfect pair of pyjamas and bedding to match the aesthetic—Castlecore. This aesthetic evokes a gloomy, fantasy-Arthurian feel, embracing castles, chivalric romance, and the slow, cozy atmosphere of the past (obviously without the dragons, of course). Rooted in history and fantasy, it draws inspiration from medieval Europe, fairy tales, and Arthurian legends. Castlecore blends historical charm with whimsical nostalgia, creating a dreamlike escape into a world of knights and kings, dimly lit halls, and timeless enchantment.
What is castlecore ?
Well, this bold medieval aesthetic, according to Pinterest, will be the trending look of 2025 for both home décor and fashion. It's highly inspired by the Medieval or Middle Ages era (500–1500 AD) — in simpler terms, the era of Game of Thrones and Dungeons and Dragons. This medieval aesthetic embraces the grandness of stone fortresses, candlelit halls, lush tapestries, and the warmth of a fire-lit chamber (maybe some medieval -inspired elements you could add to your room). In the fashion field, Castlecore blends these medieval , historical, and cozy romantic elements together. It’s all about the grand feeling of living in a majestic medieval castle — whether as a noble, scholar, or even a humble peasant enjoying a simple life of luxury.
Key elements of Castlecore:
- Color Palette: Deep, rich tones combined with muted, earthy shades. Gold and silver accents add a royal touch.
- Textures: Heavy, luxurious fabrics like velvet and tapestry. Rough, natural textures like aged stone and wrought metal.
- Material: Dark wood and iron for furniture and décor. Linen and wool for clothing and bedding.
The rise of this medieval aesthetic is both fascinating and a bit of a mystery, but fashion always reinvents itself. Maybe it’s the cozy, slow-living appeal, the fantasy-dreamlike escapism it offers, or simply the medieval nostalgia it stirs in people.
Step into your dream medieval castle
Sleep like medieval royalty
In the medieval era , nightwear was typically made from linen or cotton—fabrics that were affordable and commonly used for everyday clothing. Royalty, on the other hand, favoured luxurious materials like velvet and silk, often adorned with gold embroidery. The type of nightwear worn largely depended on one’s social status.
Common medieval nightwear included:
Tunics
Chemises
Nightgowns or dresses
It was also common to sleep with headwear such as veils, head wraps, coifs, or hairnets.
For a modern medieval-inspired look, opt for linen or cotton nightgowns or pyjama sets with lace or embroidered details. For something more regal, velvet robes are your go-to. Hooded nightshirts also add an aesthetic, castlecore flair.
Ever Lasting offers beautiful, modern alternatives using high-quality, sustainable fabrics—perfect for embracing the Castlecore aesthetic with comfort and charm.
To elevate your nightwear even more, add a soft shawl or embroidered slippers to complete your dreamy, medieval bedtime ensemble.
Create your little escape
Cozy Bedding Fit for a castle
Bedding plays a crucial role in creating a cozy and visually pleasing bedroom. In the medieval era , bedding was often layered with wool blankets and feather-stuffed mattresses, while heavy drapes or curtains were used for warmth and privacy. Quilted blankets, canopy beds, and wool throws were common features. Colour palettes leaned toward deep jewel tones like royal blue, forest green, and maroon, balanced with soft neutrals such as beige, muted blue, and earthy browns. Bedding styles and materials often reflected one’s social class and status.
To bring these castlecore or medieval-inspired elements into your space, consider adding rich textures and layered fabrics. Ever Lasting offers beautifully crafted, sustainable bedding in silk, linen, and deep-toned shades that perfectly suit this aesthetic—or any cozy, curated style you prefer.
For a truly immersive medieval experience, add finishing touches like heavy curtains, Persian rugs, vintage-style tapestries, faux fur throws, and scented sachets in lavender, rosemary, or cedar. These details help transform your bedroom into a warm, whimsical retreat fit for modern medieval royalty.

Elevate your experience
The more thoughtful touches you add to your space, the more enchanting your castlecore mornings become. Elevate your routine with small yet meaningful rituals that bring a sense of medieval magic to your day.
- Start with a warm cup of herbal tea in a rustic mug: try barley, mint, chamomile, or rose for a soothing experience.
- Set the tone with medieval-inspired music from artists: Celestial Aeon Project, Bard to the Core, or Medieval Dreamers.
- For quiet mornings by the window wrapped in a soft shawl, dive into books: The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant, The Paston Letters, or Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
Incorporate simple medieval habits like relying on natural light , or lighting a beeswax candle to ease into your day. These gentle, mindful choices create a truly medieval-inspired atmosphere.
