04 · Bedding

Bedding Care & Material Guide

Thoughtful care for lasting softness, beauty, and comfort.

Should I wash my L&B bedding before first use?

Yes. We recommend washing bedding before first use to refresh the fabric and help soften the fibers.

Always check the care label first, as instructions may vary depending on the fabric, color treatment, embroidery, lace, ruffles, or other decorative finishes.

How often should I wash my duvet cover and pillowcases?

As a general guide, duvet covers and pillowcases can be washed weekly or every 1–2 weeks, depending on use, climate, and personal preference.

Wash sooner if the bedding has been exposed to sweat, body oils, skincare products, pets, stains, or heavy daily use.

How should I wash Egyptian cotton bedding?

Always check the product care label first. As a general care guideline, machine wash Egyptian cotton bedding on a gentle cycle using cold water, ideally at or below 86°F (30°C).

For dark colors, embroidery, lace, ruffles, or decorative details, cold water is preferred whenever possible. Use a mild liquid detergent, wash with similar colors and lightweight bedding, and avoid overloading the washer.

Cold, gentle washing helps reduce unnecessary stress on cotton fibers, colors, embroidery, lace, and decorative finishes.
Can I use bleach or fabric softener on L&B bedding?

Avoid bleach unless the individual care label specifically allows it. Bleach, harsh detergents, strong stain removers, and optical brighteners may affect color, embroidery, lace, ruffles, or decorative finishes.

We also recommend avoiding fabric softener whenever possible, as buildup may reduce cotton’s natural breathability, softness, and fresh feel over time.

How should I dry Egyptian cotton bedding?

Air drying in a shaded, well-ventilated place is preferred whenever possible. If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat only, subject to the product care label.

Remove bedding while slightly damp to help reduce deep creases, smooth it gently, and allow it to finish drying naturally. Make sure the bedding is completely dry before folding or storing.

Avoid prolonged high heat and strong direct sunlight, particularly for colored, embroidered, lace, or decorative pieces.

Can I iron or steam embroidered, lace, or ruffled bedding?

Yes, when permitted by the care label. Use low to medium heat and place a clean, light cloth between the iron and delicate embroidery, lace, ruffles, or decorative details.

Avoid ironing directly over appliqué, buttons, zippers, lace, or other delicate trims.

What is the best way to treat stains?

Treat stains as soon as possible. Blot gently rather than rubbing, and use a small amount of mild detergent with cool water for most fresh stains.

Test any stain treatment on a hidden area first, particularly on dark colors, embroidery, lace, or decorative finishes. Make sure the stain is fully removed before tumble drying, as heat can set stains into the fabric.

How should I store L&B bedding?

Store bedding only when it is completely clean and dry. Fold it loosely and keep it in a breathable cotton bag or a clean, cool, well-ventilated bedding closet.

Avoid long-term storage in sealed plastic, direct sunlight, moisture, strong odors, or beneath heavy objects.

Why does L&B use Egyptian cotton?

Egyptian cotton is valued for its long, fine fibers, which can be spun into smoother and stronger yarns. This helps create bedding with a soft handfeel, refined drape, breathable comfort, and lasting beauty.

Does Egyptian cotton become softer over time?

Yes. With proper washing and care, Egyptian cotton can become softer and more comfortable over time while maintaining its smooth, refined feel.

Is Egyptian cotton breathable for year-round use?

Yes. Cotton is a naturally breathable fiber that allows air to move through the fabric, helping bedding feel fresh and comfortable across seasons.

Is Egyptian cotton suitable for sensitive skin?

The smooth feel of Egyptian cotton can be comfortable for many sleepers. For sensitive skin, we recommend using a mild, fragrance-free detergent and avoiding strong fragrance, bleach, or detergent buildup.

Why is Egyptian cotton durable?

Its long-staple fiber structure can be spun into strong, smooth yarns that support lasting use. With proper care, the fabric can maintain its softness, smoothness, and beauty through repeated washing.

Exceptional design deserves thoughtful care.

Thoughtfully designed and curated, carefully delivered, and supported with sincerity.
