Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the duvet and pillows from their packaging.
- Aerate: Allow the duvet and pillows to air out for a few hours (or even a day) to let them regain their full loft and dissipate any natural scent from the feather and down.
- Place on Bed: Position the pillows on your bed and cover the duvet with your preferred duvet cover.
Compatibility
This set includes a Double duvet, which is compatible with standard double beds. The pillows are standard size and will fit most standard pillowcases.
Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the loft, comfort, and hygiene of your duck feather and down bedding.
- Duvet and Pillows: We recommend professional dry cleaning for best results. If machine washing, check the care label carefully. Typically, feather and down items require a large capacity washing machine (e.g., 9kg or more) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Use a low spin speed to avoid damage.
- Drying: This is the most critical step. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls (tennis balls work well) to help break up feather clumps and restore loft. Ensure the items are completely dry before use or storage to prevent mildew and odors. This may take several hours and require multiple drying cycles.
- Fluffing: Regularly fluff your duvet and pillows to redistribute the filling and maintain their loft and support.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spills, spot clean immediately with a mild detergent and dry thoroughly.
