Hebden Cotton Plain Duvet Cover Set - Cotta

The Hebden duvet cover set is made from 100% washed cotton in Cotta, a soft dusky pink. The cover itself is plain, with no pattern to compete with, while the reverse and the coordinating pillowcases carry a fine two-tone stripe in warm tan and cream, so you can fold the top back and let a little of the stripe show. It comes in four sizes, single through to super king, so you can match it to the bed you already have. The washed cotton is a percale, garment-washed before it reaches you, which is why it arrives with that lived-in, softened handle rather than a crisp new finish.

This is a set built for a relaxed, layered bedroom rather than a formal one. The muted pink sits happily against natural wood, jute and linen-toned walls, and it takes well to being teamed with warmer earthy accents or kept quiet with more neutrals. Because the base is plain, it gives you room to change the mood with throws and cushions season to season without the bed ever looking busy. The stripe on the reverse means you get two looks from one set, plain-side up for calm, striped-side folded down for a bit more interest.

The cover closes with discreet button fastenings, which keep the duvet sitting where it should and stay out of sight when the bed is made. The edges are finished with a twin-stitched detail, a double line of stitching that reads as a quiet, considered trim rather than a decorative one. Cotton is breathable and takes a warm wash well, so this is a set you can use and launder often. The single includes one pillowcase and every larger size includes two. Style it plain and simple, or turn the striped reverse out for contrast.

What is washed cotton and why does it feel softer?

It is cotton that has been garment-washed before sale, which relaxes the weave and gives you a soft, lived-in handle from the first night rather than a stiff, brand-new finish.

Is the whole set the pink Cotta colour?

The front of the cover is plain pink. The reverse and the coordinating pillowcases carry a fine tan and cream stripe, so you can choose plain or striped depending on how you make the bed.

How does the duvet cover close?

It fastens with discreet buttons along the opening, which hold the duvet in place inside and sit out of view once the bed is dressed.

Which size should I choose?

The set runs from single to super king, so match it to your duvet size. Bear in mind the single comes with one pillowcase and the larger sizes come with two.

What is the twin-stitched edge?

It is a double line of stitching worked along the edge as a subtle finishing detail, quiet rather than decorative, giving the set a neat, considered look.
