What is the MATTEO Friends & Family Sale?
The Friends & Family Sale is MATTEO's periodic access event giving a select group the opportunity to shop our full range of linen, cotton, and matelassé bedding at reduced prices. The 135-piece assortment spans sheets, duvet covers, shams, pillowcases, and table linens — the same garment-washed, non-toxic dyed textiles made in our Los Angeles studio. Stock is finite and not replenished once sizes sell out.
Which MATTEO fabrics and product lines are included in the sale?
The sale draws from across the full MATTEO line. You will find Vintage Linen pieces — our most-requested fabric for over a decade, woven in Italy and finished with a dimensional washing process that creates the characteristic highs and lows in the cloth. Tru cotton percale and organic cotton sateen items are also included, alongside select matelassé and table linen pieces. If you have been waiting to try a specific fabric, this is the moment. Explore the Vintage Linen Duvet Cover or browse Organic Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheets to see what is currently available in your size.
How do I find the right size during the sale?
MATTEO offers standard US sizing across fitted sheets, flat sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases. Fitted sheets are sized to mattress depth, so check your mattress spec before ordering. Because sale inventory is not replenished, size availability changes quickly. If you need a fitted sheet in a specific size, go directly to the fitted sheet listings first. The Sei Fitted Sheet and Sei Fitted Sheet (five-color run) pages show current size availability in real time.
Are sale items the same quality as regular MATTEO products?
Yes. Every piece in the Friends & Family Sale is the same textile — same fiber content, same weave, same garment-washing and non-toxic dyeing process — as what sells at full price. Sale inclusion reflects final availability in certain colors or sizes, not a change in material or construction. MATTEO does not produce a secondary line for clearance events.
How should I care for MATTEO linen and cotton bedding?
Machine wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low. MATTEO's garment-washed linens and cottons are pre-shrunk, so you will not see significant size change after the first wash. Linen in particular gets softer with each wash cycle — a quality inherent to the flax fiber. Avoid high heat and bleach, which degrade the fiber and affect the non-toxic dye finish. Line drying is fine and extends the life of the cloth.
Can I use a duvet cover from the sale with my existing comforter?
A MATTEO duvet cover works with any insert sized to match. Our duvet covers use a hidden YKK zipper closure and a modern knife-edge seam finish. If you are pairing with a down or down-alternative insert, measure the insert first — the cover should match its dimensions within an inch or two for proper drape. The Ida Duvet Cover is a good reference for construction details if you want to compare before purchasing.
Does MATTEO offer pillow shams in the Friends & Family Sale?
Shams are included when stock is available. The assortment varies by colorway and style. Tat cotton shams and Paisley quilted shams appear in the sale rotation when final quantities remain. Check the Tat Cotton Sham and Paisley Quilted Sham collections directly to see current color availability.
Is the Friends & Family Sale a good time to buy fabric swatches for a custom bedding project?
Swatches are sold separately from the main sale assortment and are priced to make sampling straightforward at any time. If you are planning a custom project and want to assess hand-feel and color before committing, ordering swatches first is the practical approach regardless of sale timing. The Vintage Linen Swatch set covers the full color range of our most-requested fabric and ships quickly.
