Bedding you're afraid to wash is bedding you stop using. Everything we sell goes in a domestic machine. Here's the routine.
Comforters
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, on its own — it needs room to move.
- Tumble dry low with a couple of dryer balls to break up the fill.
- Pull it out slightly damp and finish it on the bed. That keeps the loft.
- No bleach. No fabric softener — softener coats cotton and flattens the hand.
Sheets
- Machine wash warm, tumble dry low.
- Take them out promptly; percale creases if it sits in the drum.
- Wash every one to two weeks. Two sets in rotation last longer than one set washed twice as often.
Pillows
- Memory foam: spot clean only. Never submerge foam — it tears and won't dry through.
- Covers: remove and machine wash cold, air dry.
- Shredded fill: fluff by hand to restore loft; add or remove fill to set the height.
Mattress toppers
- Spot clean the fill. The cover is removable and machine washable cold.
- Rotate it end to end every few months so it wears evenly.
Things that quietly ruin bedding
Fabric softener and dryer sheets (they coat fibres), high heat (it breaks down fill and elastic), overloading the machine (nothing gets properly clean), and storing bedding in plastic (it needs to breathe — use a cotton bag or a shelf).
