How should I care for and clean a natural duvet?

Taking care of a natural duvet is easier than you might think, and with the right care, it can last for many years. We always say the key is to treat it gently—natural materials like wool, feather, and down don’t need harsh cleaning to stay fresh and comfortable.

The first thing we recommend is regular airing. Every so often, give your duvet a good shake and hang it outside on a dry, breezy day. This helps refresh the fibres and maintain its loft without the need for frequent washing. Sunlight is great for naturally disinfecting and removing any lingering moisture or stale air.

When it comes to washing, always check the label. Some of our duvets—especially those filled with organic wool—aren’t machine washable and should be spot cleaned or professionally laundered if needed. Using a duvet cover is essential, as it protects your duvet from daily wear and dirt, making cleaning less frequent and easier overall.

Never tumble dry or use high heat on a natural duvet, as this can damage the fibres. If you do need to wash it, choose a gentle detergent, cold water, and make sure it's dried thoroughly before using again.

For full details and care tips, we’ve put together a helpful Natural Bedding Care Guide that walks you through everything step by step.

With just a little attention, your natural duvet will stay beautifully fresh and cosy for years to come.
