Piglet in Bed believes in a natural, sustainable and enjoyable way of life that encourages reflection on what matters most; it is the antithesis of the fast, throwaway world where nobody is able to stop and think. Born in, and inspired by the joys of rural Britain, Piglet in Bed makes products with longevity in mind. We are founded on the conviction that genuine quality should be with us forever; the best things in life are those that get better with love and time, that become infused with our own stories and memories. Nature is a wonderful provider; materials that are cosy and soft, but durable too. Since launching in our founder Jessica's mother's garden shed four years ago, we’ve shipped over 40,000 orders of our natural linen bedding and sleepwear to customers in the UK, US and Europe, and we are just getting started (the business tripled in size in 2020). Our products have been heralded as “comfortable, beautiful and effortless” in the press and our customer service has earned us a rating of 4.9/5 on Trustpilot, something we are especially proud of here at Piglet.

The National Trust for Scotland is an independent charity that protects, cares for, and shares our country’s magnificent natural and human heritage. We’re the largest membership organisation in Scotland, a leader in conserving and promoting the nations treasured places and collections so that they can be enjoyed by present and future generations. We were founded in 1931 – since then, we’ve pioneered public access to and shared ownership of some of the most magnificent buildings, collections and landscapes in Scotland. We believe in protecting the nature, beauty and heritage of Scotland, and sharing our amazing places with everyone. Scotland is blessed with a wealth of stories, values, objects and landscapes that, over time, have been woven together to unite communities, forge traditions and nurture our unique national spirit. We care for ancient houses, battlefields, castles, mills, gardens, coastlines, islands and mountain ranges, as well as the plants, animals and birds that live there. We have a presence in every corner of Scotland; from the most northerly tip of Shetland, to the south coast of Dumfries and Galloway; from the eastern shore of the country at St Abb’s Head, to the most westerly islands of St Kilda in the Atlantic Ocean – 64 kilometres from the nearest landfall. Simply, our work keeps this heritage safe and every day, our members, volunteers and staff help us to look after an astonishing variety of things. We do it #ForTheLoveOfScotland.
