Care Tips!

Tip 1 
How often you choose to launder your bedding is a matter of personal preference and circumstances, but in general bedding should be washed every 1-2 weeks. Most modern-day washers and dryers can fit bedding in them so you can wash in the comfort of your own home. Launder bedding based on manufacturer’s instructions. 

Tip 2
Fluff or shake regularly to maintain even distribution and prevent lumps. 

Tip 3 
Since sunlight is helpful in killing germs and bacteria, you can air your bedding outside for a few hours twice a year to maintain freshness. 

Tip 4
If you switch you bedding out with the seasons, be sure to store it in breathable bags. Remember that plastic traps moisture and can cause mildew. 

Tip 5
Use gentle detergent to prolong the life of your bedding. 

Bedding Materials to Know

Blends: Two or more fibers mixed in the yarn or the fabric. Cotton and polyester are typically blended to improve wrinkle resistance and breathability. 

Brushed Microfiber: Woven with yarns made up of ultra fine synthetic fibers and brushed to give a soft peachy feel. Easy to launder and wrinkle resistant option that’s known to be extremely soft and durable. 

Chenille-plush: TwoFabric that’s created when cotton or cotton-blend tufts are sewn into a base cloth of muslin sheeting. The more tufts that are sewn in, the more luxurious and heavyweight the fabric is. The tufts can be sewn to create an all-over pattern, floral or paisley design. 

Cotton: Natural fiber that is cool to the touch and can be more comfortable and breathable than a manmade fabrics. 

Damask: A type of jacquard with firm, lustrous fabric made with flat patterns in a satin weave on a plain-woven ground. 

 

 Linen: A natural material derived from the flax plant. Thick and thin areas of the fiber create a unique texture. Linen has good strength, low pilling and linting tendencies and good breathability. 

Matelassé: A special weaving technique, typically using cotton yarns, that creates a quilted or puckered appearance. 

Percale Cotton: A closely woven, plain-weave fabric, usually 300 threads per inch or less. The smooth and crisp appearance can create a tailored look but still works great for everyday use. 

Polyester: Synthetic fiber that’s durable and more wrinkle and shrink resistant than natural fabrics. 

Sateen: A weave in which yarn will float across four or more different yarns, creating a smooth, lustrous surface with a soft hand. Sateen or satin weaves can have a much higher thread count than plain weaves. The term “sateen” is used for 100% cotton and “satin” is used for silk or synthetic fabrics. The light sheen of sateen creates either a relaxed or elegant look. 

How ty Style and Layer Your Bed

After your bedding basics and sheets are taken care of, it’s time to style the top of the bed. This includes several fun layering pieces. Not sure where to start? We’ll show you how to build your bed from the basics, up. 

Layer One (after sheets): 
Duvet Cover – Be sure to always fill your duvet cover with a luxurious duvet insert. We love duvet covers because of how easy they are to clean and switch out when your bedroom needs a refresh. 

Comforter – Like duvets covers, these will be the focal point of your bed. Comforters have super soft fillings and typically come with shams to make styling your entire bed easy! 

Layer Two (layered with duvet cover or comforter): 
Quilt/Coverlet – Extra versatile, because they can be styled underneath, or on top of your duvet or comforter. Usually lightweight, these are perfect for layering, adding a pop of color or interesting texture year-round. 

Bedspread –Very similar to quilts/coverlets, bedspreads are usually larger to cover your entire bed (including the box springs and mattress). 

Layer Three (on top of quilt, coverlet, duvet cover or comforter): 
Shams – Decorative shams that are styled in front of your pillowcases. Usually coordinate with your duvet cover or comforter to tie your bed together. Euro sizes that are especially great for larger beds. 

Decorative Pillows and Throws – Complete the look with some extra personal touches with decorative pillows and throws.
