Bedding Care Guide

Bedding Care at a Glance

Goose Down Duvets

Down is a long-term investment that can last 10–20 years with the right care. Always sleep with a duvet cover so the duvet itself rarely needs washing. We recommend dry cleaning — washing a down duvet carries a real risk of the fill leaking through the seams or the duvet losing its loft permanently, and once that happens it can't be undone. If you choose to wash it anyway despite this, only ever use a large commercial gentle machine with mild detergent — never a small home washer, which is far more likely to damage the baffle boxes and clump the fill — and understand that we can't guarantee the results. Tumble dry on low with a couple of dryer balls to help restore loft, and make sure it is completely dry before storing. Air it outside on a dry, breezy day every few months.

Goose Down & Feather Pillows

Protect every down pillow with a pillow protector under your pillowcase. Spot clean small marks; for a deeper clean use a professional service. Fluff your pillow each morning and air it regularly to keep it lofty and fresh.

Wool Duvets, Pillows & Toppers

Wool is naturally self-cleaning, antibacterial and temperature-regulating, so it rarely needs full washing. Spot clean spills and air your wool duvet monthly. Our washable organic wool pillow and wool toppers can be washed in a commercial-size machine on a gentle, cold cycle with a wool-safe detergent — then air dried flat. Never tumble dry wool on high heat.

Mulberry Silk Duvets & Pillowcases

Our mulberry silk duvet is machine washable on a gentle, cold cycle with mild detergent — no bleach — and should be line dried. Silk pillowcases are best hand washed or run on a delicate cold cycle, then air dried.

Cotton & Bamboo Sheets & Duvet Covers

Machine wash cotton sheets in warm or cold water and tumble dry low. Bamboo sheets and covers prefer a cold gentle wash with no bleach or fabric softener, and line drying or a low tumble. Washing before first use softens the fabric.

Mattress Pads & Toppers

Cotton mattress pads are machine washable on warm; tumble dry low. Wool toppers follow the same gentle wool care above. A protector over your topper keeps it cleaner for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wash a goose down duvet at home? We don't recommend washing a goose down duvet at all — even in a commercial machine, there's a real risk of the down leaking or the duvet losing its loft. Dry cleaning is what we recommend. If you choose to wash it anyway, only ever use a large commercial gentle machine, never a standard home washer, and understand we can't guarantee the results. A duvet cover from day one means you'll rarely need to do either.

How often should I wash my bedding? Sheets and pillowcases weekly, duvet covers every 1–2 weeks, pillows 2–4 times a year, and duvets once or twice a year.

How do I keep my down or wool lasting for years? Always use a cover/protector, air it regularly, avoid high heat, and store it clean and fully dry in a breathable bag.
