Why Bedding Care Matters
Your bedding works hard every night. Regular washing and proper care not only keep your sheets fresh and hygienic, but also extend the life of your investment — so your premium comforters and blankets stay soft and beautiful for years to come.
How Often Should You Wash Your Bedding?
- Sheets & pillowcases: Every 1–2 weeks
- Duvet covers: Every 2–4 weeks
- Comforters & blankets: Every 2–3 months (or seasonally)
- Pillows: Every 3–6 months
Washing Tips by Material
Cotton Sheets
Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to prevent wrinkles. Avoid bleach, which can weaken fibers over time.
Down & Down Alternative Comforters
Use a large-capacity washer on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Dry on low heat with a couple of dryer balls to restore loft. Make sure the comforter is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
Weighted Blankets
Check the care label — most can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Use cold water and a mild detergent. Air dry or tumble dry on low.
Storage Tips
Store clean bedding in a cool, dry place. Use breathable cotton bags rather than plastic to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid compressing down comforters for long periods to preserve their loft.
