Product Information

Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is cotton percale?

Cotton percale is a type of weave for cotton fabric. It is characterized by its tightly woven, plain-weave construction which results in a crisp, smooth, and matte finish that feels cool to the touch.

Is this duvet cover set suitable for all seasons?

The breathable nature of cotton percale makes it comfortable for warmer months. For colder weather, you may wish to layer it with a heavier blanket or duvet.

What does 'authentic colourway' mean?

It means the colours used in this bedding reproduction are faithful to the original palette chosen by William Morris when he first designed the Willow Boughs pattern in 1887.

Does the set include pillowcases?

The product title 'Duvet Cover Set' typically implies that matching pillowcases are included. Please refer to the specific product listing for exact contents.

How does the Willow Boughs design relate to William Morris?

Willow Boughs was originally designed by William Morris in 1887. It reflects his deep fascination with the natural world and his distinctive Arts and Crafts aesthetic.

Will the design wear off over time?

With proper care and laundering (cold wash, gentle cycle, avoiding harsh chemicals), the design should remain vibrant. Percale is also a durable weave that holds up well to regular use.

Troubleshooting

Duvet cover feels stiff or rough.

This is common with new percale cotton. Wash the cover a few times with a gentle detergent. The fabric will soften with repeated washing and use.

Colour fading after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water, using a mild detergent, and avoiding bleach. Also, opt for line drying or low heat tumble drying, as high heat can accelerate fading.

Shrinkage after washing/drying.

Pre-shrunk cotton is often used, but some minor shrinkage can occur. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying temperatures. Avoid high heat.

Wrinkles are difficult to remove.

Try ironing while the fabric is still slightly damp. Using a higher heat setting (appropriate for cotton) can also help. Ensure the iron has a steam function.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Features a historically significant and beautiful design by William Morris.
  • Made from 100% cotton percale for a cool, crisp, and breathable feel.
  • Durable construction suitable for everyday use.
  • The blue colourway offers a classic and versatile look.
  • Enhances bedroom decor with artistic and natural elements.

Cons

  • Percale fabric can feel cool, which may not be ideal for colder climates or individuals who prefer very warm bedding.
  • Requires specific care to maintain the fabric's quality and the vibrancy of the print.
  • May wrinkle more easily than other cotton weaves, requiring ironing for a smooth appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Setting up the duvet cover set is straightforward. Ensure your duvet insert is the correct size for the cover. Unzip or unbutton the cover, lay it flat, and place the duvet inside, aligning the corners. Gently shake and smooth the duvet to ensure it fills the cover evenly. Close the cover securely.

Compatibility:

This duvet cover set is designed to fit standard duvet inserts of the corresponding size (e.g., single, double, king, super king). It is also compatible with most standard pillow inserts if a pillowcase is included.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash the duvet cover and pillowcases separately on a gentle cycle with cold water.
  • Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can damage the cotton fibres and print.
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry to preserve the fabric's integrity and colour.
  • For best results, iron on a medium-high heat setting while the fabric is still slightly damp to remove wrinkles.
