How to Care for Your Cotton Bedding

Designed to Last — With the Right Care

Well-made bedding should last for years — not just months.

Our cotton bedding is crafted to soften over time, becoming more comfortable with every wash. With the right care, it will maintain its texture, structure and feel, ensuring it remains a staple in your home for years to come.

Caring for your bedding properly isn’t complicated — it’s simply about treating quality materials with consideration.

How to Wash Cotton Bedding

Washing your bedding correctly is key to preserving its softness and durability.

• Wash at 30–40°C on a gentle cycle
• Use a mild detergent
• Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, which can weaken fibres
• Wash similar colours together to maintain tone

Cotton bedding benefits from regular washing, helping it stay fresh while naturally softening over time.

Drying Your Bedding

How you dry your bedding has a big impact on how it feels.

• Air drying is ideal for preserving fibres and extending lifespan
• If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting
• Avoid over-drying, as this can cause unnecessary wear

A gentle drying process helps maintain the softness and integrity of the fabric.

Should You Iron Cotton Bedding?

For a more relaxed, natural look, we recommend avoiding ironing.

The beauty of well-made cotton bedding lies in its soft texture and effortless finish. Over-ironing can flatten the fibres and reduce this effect.

If you prefer a crisper look, use a low to medium heat setting and avoid pressing too heavily.

How to Keep Bedding Soft

High-quality cotton bedding is designed to soften with use — but a few simple steps will help enhance this:

• Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat fibres and reduce breathability
• Do not overload the washing machine
• Allow space for the fabric to move freely during washing

Over time, your bedding will develop a more relaxed, lived-in softness.

How Often Should You Wash Bedding?

We recommend washing your bedding every 1–2 weeks.

Regular washing:

• keeps bedding fresh
• removes natural oils and dust
• maintains a comfortable sleep environment

During warmer months, more frequent washing may be beneficial.

Storing Your Bedding

When not in use, store your bedding in a cool, dry place.

• Avoid plastic containers that trap moisture
• Use breathable storage such as cotton bags or linen cupboards
• Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve colour

Proper storage helps maintain both the look and feel of your bedding over time.

Caring for Bedding, Layer by Layer

A beautifully layered bed is built not just through styling, but through care.

Looking after each element — from your duvet cover to your cushions and throws — ensures your bedroom continues to feel comfortable, considered and calm.

Made to Be Lived With

Our bedding is designed to be used, enjoyed and lived with.

With the right care, it will continue to soften, settle into your home, and provide comfort night after night.

Because true quality isn’t just how something looks when it’s new — it’s how it feels over time.
