It is made from 100% premium cotton with a smooth sateen weave, soft-washed so it feels irresistibly soft and lived-in from the very first night. It grows softer with every wash, without pilling.

Our Soft-Wash Cotton is a sateen weave, so it feels smooth and soft with a subtle sheen and a little more body on the bed. It drapes naturally and holds its shape, with a grounded, substantial quality you can feel. 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 natural cotton bedding.

Cotton is naturally breathable and comfortable year-round. That said, if sleeping cool is your top priority, our bamboo duvet cover is 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.

Absolutely. Many people layer the two, pairing the silky feel of cotton sheets with the structured drape of a cotton duvet cover, or swapping seasonally depending on how they want the bed to feel. There is no wrong way to build a bed you love.

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.

Sateen has a smoother hand feel, a softer drape, and a subtle sheen. Percale feels crisper and cooler to the touch. Sateen is a better fit for sleepers who want a plush, polished feel, while percale is usually chosen for a lighter, more matte finish.

Like most cotton bedding, this duvet cover should be washed and dried according to the care instructions to help maintain fit and feel. Using warm water, low tumble drying, and avoiding bleach or dry cleaning helps maintain the size of the fabric.
