Buying expensive bedding is a lasting investment, but with proper care, it can be a gift that keeps on giving. The quality of luxury down bedding is unmatched. If you have invested in luxury down bedding, it is important to treat your purchase with care. Maintaining your high-end investment is always a great way to make the most out of it. To help you get started, we have compiled some bedding maintenance tips to ensure you keep your sumptuous investment looking great.
The Best Night’s Sleep Begins With Down
The secret to keeping your down bedding fluffy, comfortable, and soft isn’t complicated: take good care of it, and it will do the same for you. However, to get the most out of your down bedding, make sure it is protected from dust and stains in the first place. This includes keeping your down pillows inside pillowcases and down duvet inserts in duvet covers. It also includes maintaining them on a regular basis so that they remain fluffy and soft for years to come.
Caring For Down Comforters
Down comforters are the ultimate in cozy comfort. They’re plush, lofty, and lightweight—the perfect combination for a good night’s sleep. Here are some simple ways to maintain your down comforters so they last for years to come.
Spot Treating And Stain Removal
Spot treating the cover of your duvet insert is easy and effective. If you notice a fresh stain on your duvet insert, you can use the same spot treatment method you use on other fabrics. Carefully pull the fabric away from the filling and place a small amount of gentle detergent directly onto the stain and dab it with a damp cloth.
Make sure the fabric is rinsed thoroughly by hand to remove any laundry detergent residue. If you notice that the stain is still there, repeat the process until it’s gone. Once you’ve removed all of the excess detergent and suds from your duvet insert, let it dry completely before using it again.
Regular Exposure to Sunlight and Air
Clean, refresh and deodorize your comforter by exposing it to sunlight. Getting your comforter professionally cleaned annually is recommended, but if it gets a little wrinkled or needs freshening up, you can revive it with sunlight. Lay the comforter flat on a well-ventilated surface, such as an outdoor patio or balcony, and leave it for a few hours to dry out. This will help eliminate odors and give your comforter a crisp feel.
Proper Storage
A down comforter is a year-round essential. Use it to keep warm during cold winter nights or all year round if you live in a mild climate. If you are going to store it for the summer, we recommend wrapping it in a cotton bag or rolling it into a breathable cotton sheet and placing it in a dry, well-ventilated area. When you’re ready to use it again, unpack and shake it out to restore its loft. Ensure your freshly washed duvet insert is completely dry before packing it away for an extended time.
Caring for Down and Feather Pillows
A comfortable pillow is one of the most important components of a good night’s rest. Over time, pillows can get covered in dust and dirt, which can make them uncomfortable to use. Luckily, most pillows can be washed in cold water in the washing machine. Down and feather pillows can be cleaned in any washing machine. We recommend washing two at a time to balance out the load.
Follow the instructions for fabric care when drying. Adding clean tennis balls or wool dryer balls will speed up the drying process and add extra fluff to the pillows. It may take several cycles to dry the pillows completely.
Protecting Your Feathery Investment
With proper care, your feather pillow should last for years. Feather and down pillows have a relatively long life span, but you can extend the life of your feather pillow by using a pillow protector.
Pillow protectors act as a protective cover and keep dust mites and other contaminants out of your sumptuous pillows. They’re easy to clean, washable, and provide excellent protection for your feather buddy. If you’re looking for the perfect bedroom décor, you can insert your cuddly, fluffy feather companion into a cover that matches your aesthetic.
Caring for Feather Beds
Looking for a luxurious addition to your bed? The answer is a featherbed mattress topper. It offers soft and inviting comfort, helping you sleep soundly throughout the night. A feather bed is made to last, and you can expect it to last anywhere between 8 to 10 years if properly maintained. Keep your feather topper looking and feeling brand new by following these tips.
Shake and Rotate Your Feather Bed Every Now and Then
If you want to get the most out of your feather bed, it’s a great idea to shake and rotate your feather bed periodically. By shaking your feather bed, you can help keep all the feathers distributed evenly throughout the topper. By rotating it, you avoid prolonged wear on a particular section, thus extending the longevity of your topper.
Spot Cleaning a Feather Bed Mattress Topper
Regular spot cleaning, as needed, is the best way to extend the life of your down mattress topper. Gently dab it with a damp cloth after moving the filling away from your feather bed. If necessary, you can use a mild detergent and a soft brush to clean dirt or stains from the fabric. It is important to allow the topper to dry completely before using it again.
Regular Exposure to Sunlight and Air
A feather bed mattress topper can be worn out by humidity and sweat. Check your bed topper for lumps and odors, as these are signs of moisture. You can refresh your mattress topper regularly by soaking it in the sun for a few hours. Lay a flat sheet on a table and place the feather mattress topper on top, or hang it over the clothesline. To ensure that the feathers are distributed evenly, shake the topper gently before using it again.
