FAQs

What is the benefit of a 400 thread count?

A 400 thread count provides an optimal balance between durability and softness, resulting in a fabric that is smooth to the touch but substantial enough to last for years.

Is this duvet cover suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the use of natural long staple Egyptian cotton and the sateen weave creates a smooth surface that is generally gentle and non-irritating for sensitive skin.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, this product is machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle and cool to medium temperature settings.

What does the 'Oxford' style refer to?

The Oxford style typically features a wide fabric border or flange around the edges, providing a more formal and decorative finish to the duvet cover.

How do I prevent the cotton from shrinking?

Avoid using high heat during both the wash and dry cycles, as excessive heat is the primary cause of shrinking in natural cotton fibres.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels less soft after multiple washes

Ensure you are using a fabric softener specifically designed for natural cottons and avoid over-drying the cover in the machine.

Creasing after tumble drying

Remove the duvet cover from the dryer while it is still slightly damp and fold or put it on the bed immediately to naturally smooth out wrinkles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft and smooth hand-feel
  • High-quality long staple fibre construction
  • Sophisticated sateen finish
  • Versatile minimalist design
  • Easy to maintain with machine washing

Cons

  • Requires adherence to specific washing temperatures
  • May require ironing for a crisp, hotel-style look
  • Higher thread counts can be heavier than standard percale cotton

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, wash the duvet cover before the first use to remove any sizing agents used in manufacturing. Use a mild detergent and avoid using bleach, as this can break down the long staple fibres. When drying, tumble dry on a low setting or line dry to prevent unnecessary wear on the fabric. To maintain the crisp Oxford appearance, a light steam iron while the fabric is slightly damp is recommended.
