More about each fabric: our percale duvet covers and our satin duvet covers. Still not sure? Take our short quiz: a few questions and you will know which fabric suits you.
Percale duvet cover 220 × 240 cm
Percale is a tight plain weave: each thread passes alternately over and under the crossing thread. At 220 threads per square inch it gives a fine, matt, breathable fabric that gets softer with every wash. Our 220 × 240 percale covers close with a zip. The two-tone models are reversible: turn the cover over and the bed has a new look.
Satin duvet cover 220 × 240 cm
Satin – sometimes called sateen when it is made from cotton – is woven so that most of the threads lie on the surface: the fabric is smooth and soft, with a subtle sheen. At 276 threads per square inch it is denser than our percale and feels more enveloping. Our 220 × 240 écru satin cover closes with a zip.
Écru: our satin is undyed
Our écru satin is not dyed. Its warm, natural tone is the original colour of the cotton: no dye is added after weaving.
GOTS-certified organic cotton
Our percale duvet covers are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton. The Global Organic Textile Standard combines certified organic fibres with strict environmental and social criteria for textile processing, and checks the whole supply chain up to the finished product. Our satin is made from certified organic cotton.
Care: washing, drying, ironing
Percale and satin can both be washed at up to 60 °C. Close the zip before washing. Ironing is usually unnecessary: shake the cover out well and hang it up, or put it straight back on the duvet when it comes out of the dryer. More tips in our guide on how to stop cotton from shrinking.
Sewn in Portugal
Our duvet covers are sewn in Portugal, in percale and in satin, by a partner we know well and visit regularly.
Frequently asked questions about 220 × 240 cm duvet covers
Which duvet fits a 220 × 240 cm duvet cover?
A 220 × 240 cm duvet. A duvet cover is always chosen by the size of the duvet, not the mattress.
Does a 220 × 240 cm duvet cover come with pillowcases?
No: our 220 × 240 cm duvet covers are sold on their own. You choose pillowcases and a fitted sheet separately, to match your pillow and your mattress.
What is the difference between 220 × 240 and 240 × 260 cm?
240 × 260 cm is 20 cm wider and 20 cm longer and hangs down much further at the sides – good for beds of 180 cm and more. We make 220 × 240 cm in percale and satin, 240 × 260 cm in percale only.
Does a 220 × 240 cm duvet cover fit a 180 × 200 cm bed?
Yes, that is a typical combination. If you want the duvet to hang down further at the sides, choose 240 × 260 cm.
Which pillowcases go with my duvet cover?
Our pillowcases come in percale and satin, in the same shades as our duvet covers, in sizes such as 50 × 70 cm, 65 × 65 cm and 80 × 80 cm. Choose them by the size of your pillow.
How does the duvet cover close?
Our 220 × 240 cm duvet covers close with a zip, in percale and in satin. Each product page shows the closure.
Does the duvet cover need ironing?
Usually not. Give it a good shake and hang it up, or put it straight back on the duvet when it comes out of the dryer. Percale gets softer with every wash, and satin naturally keeps a smooth surface.
