Duvet cover sets are essential parts of every modern bedroom. Gone are the days of heavy quilts and blankets. Duvets are what’s in now. And here’s why. They are comparatively cheap, they can easily be changed and they are easy to care for. The Mattress Warehouse stocks a wide variety of bedding and duvet cover sizes and in this blog post, we will tell you all about how to take care of your duvet set. So if you are looking for top tips on how to look after your duvet cover set, keep reading.
Taking care of your bedding means that it will stay fresh and cosy for longer. There is a difference between a duvet (or duvet inner) and its cover set. And because they are different, it makes sense that you don’t maintain them in the same way. To make it easy for you, we jotted down a couple of quick pointers on how to maintain duvets and duvet cover sets respectively.
Made from feathers, down or some synthetic copy thereof, maintaining a duvet inner is fairly straightforward. Although, it can be time-consuming. This is what you need to do to ensure the longevity of your duvet inner:
This is way less time consuming than washing the duvet inner. And that is a good thing because duvet cover sets were specifically invented to protect duvet inners. Which means that they can take more wear and tear than the inner. Furthermore, cleaning them can mostly be done at home, in your own washing machine (more on that in a bit).
Tip: Having two duvet cover sets is quite handy as you can put a fresh cover on the duvet when you wash the dirty one.
Well, it depends on the type of cover you have. Things like fancy silk duvet cover sets should definitely not go in the washing machine! On the other hand, synthetics, linen, and cotton duvet covers can all go in the washing machine. Just read the washing instructions on the label carefully before simply chucking the cover set in the machine and putting it on the first, best wash cycle on the dial. As a rule of thumb (and if you can’t find the washing instructions anywhere) we suggest that you wash your various duvet cover sets as follows:
Now that you know how to wash your duvet cover, you might have some more questions. We’ve answered some of the most frequently asked duvet cover related questions below:
You should wash your duvet cover every time you wash your sheets (at least once every second week). Because it lies on top of your bed, duvets tend to pick up a lot of dust mites. Not to mention hair and food particles (especially if you have children and/or pets)! And hey, no one has ever complained about sleeping in clean sheets.
It is not essential that you wash your duvet cover inside out. However, if you dry your washing on a line in the sun, consider hanging the cover inside out to keep the colours from fading in the sun.
Getting your duvet inner back into its cover can be ridiculously embarrassing! But what if we told you that there is a dignified way of completing the task? Check out this cool way of putting a duvet cover on a duvet:
It may sound strange at first, but just give it a try. You feel immense satisfaction when your duvet settles nicely in place without you having to climb into the duvet cover set to make sure that the cover and inner are aligned.
