BedVoyage Melange viscose from Bamboo Cotton Duvet Cover - Silver

Viscose from Bamboo linens are best cared for by washing in warm water with an eco-friendly liquid detergent, and drying on medium heat. Proper washing will extend their life; you can expect to get 5-6 years from your linens with proper laundering.  Using hot water and high heat can cause any linens to pill, which are the uncomfortable bumps you’ll see on some sweaters. Also, bamboo has natural bacteria-resistance so if you’re used to using bleach to kill any bacteria, there is no need to do so with bamboo. A great benefit for your health and the environment!

We recommend a mild liquid detergent like Ecos, Mrs. Myers, Woolite, Seventh Generation, ECover, or Kirkland Ultra Clean. We do not recommend bleach, fabric softeners, washer balls or dryer sheets/balls. We’ve noticed that harsher detergents can break down the fibers faster, shortening the lifespan of the linens and creating tears at the seams. 

Yes, they have inside corner ties in all 4 corners of the duvet. Simply secure your comfortor or insert by tying the ties around the corner edges of your insert. They should stay put until your next laundering time.

Hidden button enclosure, with an extra button sewn into the inside so you have a replacement if one falls off and is lost.

We recommend it, as our linens are made oversized so they will shrink to fit. Our buttoned duvets have an extra button sewn inside the bottom of the duvet so that you can replace a button if one falls off or is lost.

You can use a down or poly-fil comforter, a blanket, quilt or afghan. In the summer some people like to just use a lightweight blanket, and in the winter they insert a thick down comforter. But anything you prefer will work just fine!  

Yes, it will. A Cal-King is a bit longer and a bit more narrow, so you will have a bit of extra drape on the sides of the bed, but it will still fit.

Yes, you can iron them and even use high heat and steam, it will not hurt them. But another trick is that if you dry them on high for the last 10 minutes of the cycle (if you forgot to take them out immediately) they will come out smoother. 

One of the remarkable qualities of viscose from Bamboo is that it’s thermal regulating. What that means is that if you sleep hot the bamboo fibers ‘sense’ the heat and will release it through the micro-gaps and holes in the fibers. Similarly, if you sleep cold it will sense that, and keep your warmth in around you. We call it a ‘smart fabric’ as it knows what you need!

You won’t harm them, but they may shrink just a bit. If you repeatedly do this, however, you may cause the linens to pill, so it’s recommended to always wash and dry on cool to medium heat. If you occasionally want to force the linens to shrink; you can launder in hot water and dry on high.

If you use have one duvet, when cared for properly, they should last typically 5-6 years. If you rotate between several other duvets, they will last 7 years or more. 

No, our colors will stay true for many years, with no fading. We would just recommend that you launder with similar colors, such as darks or whites, so that no other fabrics bleed onto the duvet colors.

Yes, you can. Once its dry, if you’d like to keep the silky softness just toss them in the drier on medium heat for 5-10 minutes.

Yes, when you launder the fur will come off, or you can use a lint roller between laundry days. Remember bamboo has some antibacterial properties so your linens won’t accumulate the same amount of smell that other fabrics might, and the bamboo is anti-static so pet fur won't cling like it will with other fabrics. As well, our twill weave means they are less likely to snag with pet claws than plain, satin weave duvets or knits.
