Description
The Hebden duvet cover set is made from 100% cotton and printed with a melange stripe, a soft, slightly mottled band of honey yellow running against a white ground. Because the cotton has been garment washed and dried, it arrives with a tumbled, lived-in finish rather than a crisp, factory-pressed one, and the reverse carries a pared-back stripe so you can turn the cover for a quieter look. The set runs from single through to emperor, so you can match it to the bed you actually have rather than settling for the nearest size.
This is a set for a bedroom that leans relaxed and natural. The honey stripe sits comfortably against wood, cane and rattan, and the neutral ground lets you build layers on top with mustard, ochre or plain white without anything clashing. It works as an everyday cover you sleep under all year and as a base you can dress up with a throw and a cushion or two. If you like a bed that looks softly made rather than sharply styled, this is built for that.
Cotton is breathable and takes a machine wash well, which is what makes this an easy set to live with; the garment-washed finish means it is meant to look soft and gently creased, so a hot press is beside the point. The pillowcases are finished with an oxford border, a flat framing edge around the case, and close with buttons rather than a tuck-in flap. The single set includes one pillowcase; every larger size includes two. It is a straightforward, warm-toned set that suits a calm, uncluttered room.

Frequently Asked
What is a melange stripe?
Melange means the yarn is a mix of tones rather than one flat colour, so the honey stripe reads with a soft, slightly mottled texture instead of a solid printed line.
Is the duvet cover reversible?
Yes. The face carries the printed melange stripe and the reverse has a pared-back stripe, so you can turn the cover over for a simpler, quieter finish whenever you fancy a change.
How do I close the duvet cover?
The cover fastens with buttons along the opening, which hold the duvet in place and let you close it fully once the duvet is inside.
Will it need ironing?
The cotton has been garment washed for a soft, tumbled finish, so it is meant to look gently creased and relaxed rather than crisply pressed straight from the wash.
How many pillowcases come with the set?
The single set includes one pillowcase and every larger size, from double up to emperor, includes two, so check the size you are ordering.
What bed sizes does it come in?
The set runs from single through double, king and super king to emperor, so there is an option for most standard UK bed sizes.
