Washing and Maintenance of Down

Store your bedding in a dry place. You can also use our premium breathable storage bags, which provide excellent ventilation. The bedding can also be stored unpacked in an under bed drawer. It is important for the bedding to be able to “breathe”. For natural protection against moths, use a repellent such as lavender, cedar wood or walnut leaves.

Down:
Fluff up and air your duvets and pillows daily.
Do not vacuum clean or beat duvets.

Never leave duvets or pillows out under bright sunlight or in damp weather.

When washing pillows, always use a laundry detergent specifically designed for down. Don't use bleach.

Always machine dry down products on the delicates setting. To prevent the down filling from sticking together and clumping, we recommend putting a few dryer or, tennis balls into the dryer. Afterward, check the bedding for any residual moisture and dry again if necessary. Keep fluffing it up until the down has regained its original volume.

Why Wool Duvets CANNOT be washed (and How to Care for Them):

Wool duvets are naturally breathable, temperature-regulating, and durable, making them a wonderful choice for comfortable sleep. However, unlike many down or synthetic comforters, wool duvets should not be washed in a washing machine. Wool fibers have a natural structure that can shrink, felt, and lose their loft when exposed to water, agitation, and heat, which can permanently damage the filling inside the duvet.

Because wool is a naturally self-cleaning and moisture-regulating fiber, it requires much less frequent cleaning than other bedding materials. The best way to care for a wool duvet is through regular airing and proper protection rather than washing.

How to Care for a Wool Duvet:

Use a duvet cover
A high-quality duvet cover protects the wool filling from dirt, oils, and everyday wear, reducing the need for cleaning.

Air your duvet regularly
Wool naturally releases moisture and odors. Simply airing the duvet outside or near an open window for a few hours helps refresh the fibers.

Spot clean when needed
If small stains occur, gently spot clean the outer shell with a mild wool-safe detergent and cool water, avoiding soaking the filling.

Avoid machine washing and tumble drying
Excess water and heat can cause felting and shrinkage, damaging the natural structure of the wool.

Professional cleaning if necessary
If deeper cleaning is required, a specialized dry cleaner experienced with wool bedding is the safest option.

The Natural Advantage of Wool Bedding
One of the great benefits of wool duvets is that they are naturally resistant to odors, bacteria, and dust mites, meaning they stay fresh with minimal care. With regular airing and a protective duvet cover, a quality wool duvet can remain comfortable and supportive for many years.

In short, wool duvets don’t need washing — they simply need the gentle care that natural fibers prefer.
