Everything you need to keep your comforters, duvets, pillows, and mattress protectors fresh, clean, and lasting longer — straight from the professionals.
Your Bedding Works Hard. Here's How to Care for It.
Most people don't think about their bedding until something goes wrong — a stain, a smell, or a comforter that's lost its loft. These guides cover the essentials so you can stay ahead of the problem and sleep better every night.
The Essentials
Quick Care Rules
Tip 1
Air out your comforter every morning for 10–15 minutes before making the bed.
Tip 2
Use a duvet cover — it protects the fill and washes easily at home.
Tip 3
Wash pillowcases every 1–2 weeks; wash pillows themselves every 3–6 months.
Tip 4
Spot clean spills immediately — blot, never rub, and use cold water.
Tip 5
Fluff pillows and comforters daily to maintain loft and prevent clumping.
Tip 6
Store clean bedding in breathable cotton bags — never plastic, which traps moisture.
How Often to Wash
Bedding Washing Frequency Guide
These are the intervals most sleep and allergy experts recommend. If you have pets, allergies, or sweat heavily, wash more frequently.
Bedding Item FrequencyNotes
Pillowcases
Every 1–2 weeks
More often if you use heavy skincare products at night.
Sheets & Flat Sheets
Every 1–2 weeks
Weekly if you sleep hot or have allergies.
Duvet Cover
Every 2–4 weeks
Treat it like a sheet — it's in direct contact with you.
Comforter or Duvet
Every 3–6 months
Professional cleaning recommended for oversized or delicate fills.
Pillows
Every 3–6 months
Replace pillows every 1–2 years regardless of washing.
Mattress Protector
Every 1–2 months
More often if a spill or illness occurs.
Pet Beds
Every 1–2 weeks
Weekly if your pet goes outdoors or has skin conditions.
Know Your Fill
Care by Fabric & Fill Type
Down & Goose Down
Pro Clean RecommendedProfessional cleaning strongly recommended. Home washing risks clumping and mildew if not fully dried. Use down-specific detergent if washing at home.
Down Alternative (Polyester)
Machine WashableMachine washable on gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry low with dryer balls. Ensure completely dry before storing.
Wool Fill
Delicate CareDry clean or hand wash in cold water with wool-safe detergent. Never wring — press gently and lay flat to dry.
Silk
Dry Clean OnlyDry clean only. Silk is extremely sensitive to heat, agitation, and most detergents. Even 'silk-safe' products can cause damage.
Cotton Shell
Machine WashableMachine washable on gentle or normal cycle. Wash separately from items with zippers or hooks that can snag.
Microfiber
Machine WashableMachine washable on gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid fabric softener — it clogs the fibers and reduces softness over time.
When to Call the Professionals
Some bedding simply can't be cleaned safely at home — oversized king and California king comforters, down-filled duvets, silk, and wool all benefit from professional care. If your bedding has lost its loft, developed a persistent odor, or carries a stain you can't remove, that's your sign.
