Description
The Hebden duvet cover set is made from 100% cotton with a relaxed seersucker finish, that gently puckered texture you can see running across the cloth. Woven so that some threads sit tighter than others, seersucker lifts away from the skin in soft ridges rather than lying flat, which is why it feels light and airy against you. This is the Chalk colourway, a clean white that lets the texture do the talking. It comes with a matching percale reverse and discreet button fastenings, and is sold in single, double, king and super king.
A plain white cover with texture is one of the easier things to live with in a bedroom, because it works with almost any wall colour and any headboard and asks nothing of the rest of the room. It suits a bright, pared-back scheme as readily as a warmer, layered one, and takes well to a throw or a striped cushion thrown over the top if you want to add colour without committing to it. Because the puckered surface never needs to look perfectly smooth, it is a forgiving choice for a bed that gets used rather than admired.
The cover is garment-washed, a finish applied to the made-up item so it arrives already soft and lived-in rather than crisp. Cotton breathes well and stays comfortable across the seasons, and it launders easily, taking a warm wash and coming back to shape. The button fastenings along the opening keep the duvet sitting where it should through the night. The seersucker texture means it needs very little pressing to look right, which is part of the appeal of a relaxed finish like this. The single includes one pillowcase; the double, king and super king each include two.

Frequently Asked
What is seersucker and how does it feel?
Seersucker is a woven cotton with a puckered, textured surface that lifts slightly off the skin, so it feels light and airy rather than flat and smooth against you.
Does the cover need ironing?
The relaxed seersucker texture is meant to look gently puckered, so it needs very little pressing to sit right, which makes it easy to live with day to day.
How many pillowcases come with the set?
The single size includes one pillowcase, while the double, king and super king sizes each include two pillowcases to match the cover.
What is the percale reverse?
The underside is a cotton percale, a plainer, smoother weave, so you get the textured seersucker face on top and a flat, cool surface underneath.
Does it need to fit a particular duvet size?
Choose the cover size to match your duvet, single with a single duvet through to super king, so it sits neatly without gaping or bunching.
