Hebden Cotton Plain Duvet Cover Set - Denim Blue

The Hebden duvet cover set is made from 100% cotton with a relaxed seersucker face. Seersucker is woven so that some threads sit tighter than others, which pulls the surface into the puckered, lightly rippled texture you can see across the cover. That pucker is what makes the set what it is: it lifts the cloth off your skin, so there is a little air between you and the fabric, and it keeps its look without heavy pressing. The colour is a deep denim blue, muted rather than bright, and the reverse is a smooth cotton percale in the same tone. It comes in four sizes, single through to super king, so you can match it to the bed you have.

This is a set built for everyday use rather than for best. The muted blue sits well in a calm bedroom against warm wood, natural jute and pale walls, as shown here, and it works just as happily in a cooler, more contemporary room. Cotton breathes, so it suits people who sleep warm and want bedding that does not trap heat. The two-sided finish gives you a choice: the textured seersucker for a more relaxed look, or the flatter percale reverse when you want something smoother against you.

The cover fastens with discreet buttons along the opening, which hold the duvet in place and stay out of sight when the bed is made. Being pure cotton, it is straightforward to launder and only softens with washing; the fabric here is garment-washed already, so it arrives with that lived-in handle rather than a stiff, new feel. The single size includes one pillowcase and every larger size includes two. To finish the look, layer a folded throw across the foot and let the seersucker texture do the rest.

What is seersucker and why is the surface puckered?

Seersucker is a cotton weave where some threads are held tighter than others, drawing the cloth into a raised, rippled texture that sits slightly off the skin and needs little pressing.

Is the cover the same on both sides?

No. The front is the textured seersucker and the reverse is a smooth cotton percale in the same denim blue, so you can choose either finish depending on the look you want.

How does the duvet stay inside the cover?

The opening closes with discreet button fastenings that hold the duvet neatly in place and sit out of view once the bed is made up.

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 alongside the duvet cover.

What does the pure cotton mean in use?

Cotton is breathable and absorbent, so it stays comfortable through the night, and it tends to soften further with each wash rather than wearing rough.
