Our Soft-Wash Cotton is a sateen weave, so it feels smooth and soft with a little more body on the bed than bamboo sheets. It drapes naturally and holds its shape, with a grounded, substantial quality you can feel. The fabric has been sandwashed to create a lived-in feel to the sheets. Bamboo, by comparison, is lighter and more slippery, with a silky glide. Cotton lovers tend to prefer that bit of structure and the unmistakable feel of a natural cotton sheet.

Yes. Long-staple cotton is prized for standing up to years of regular washing, growing softer with each cycle rather than wearing thin. Our Soft-Wash Cotton is finished to resist pilling and keep its smooth hand wash after wash, so it settles into your routine and stays a favorite for the long run.

The cotton is garment-washed during finishing, a step that relaxes the fibers and takes away the stiffness of brand-new sheets. That is why they feel soft and broken-in from the very first night, and why they keep getting softer with every wash.

Cotton is naturally breathable and comfortable year-round. That said, if sleeping cool is your top priority, our bamboo sheets and quilt are designed to be especially temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking, so they may suit very hot sleepers a little better. For most people, cotton offers an easy, breathable comfort in any season.

Start by turning the duvet cover inside out and laying it flat on the bed with the bottom zip opening facing you. Reach inside to the top two corners, then grab the matching top corners of your comforter through the fabric. Holding those corners together, shake the cover right-side out so it falls down over the comforter, working it into place along the way. Once the insert is settled, fasten the interior snap closures at each corner to keep it from shifting, then close the concealed bottom zip. Give the whole thing a gentle shake to smooth everything out, and your bed is ready.
