Ida Duvet Cover

The Ida Duvet Cover is 100% linen with poly batting. The quilted top layer uses two layers of MATTEO's Vintage Linen with a 3-inch diamond quilt pattern and a plain Vintage Linen backing. All materials are garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes, produced by MATTEO in Los Angeles.

The Ida is a quilted duvet cover: it has a quilted top layer with a 3-inch diamond pattern and a plain Vintage Linen backing with a zipper closure that holds your insert in place. Unlike a standalone quilt, it functions as a duvet cover, so you use it with your existing insert. The poly batting adds warmth without replacing the breathability of the linen shell.

Yes. Linen is naturally moisture-absorbent and thermoregulating, keeping you cool when warm and adding insulation when cool. The Ida's quilted construction adds body without trapping heat the way synthetic covers do, and the plain linen backing maintains airflow to your insert. It works year-round in most climates, including humid ones where breathability matters.

Linen is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, making the Ida Duvet Cover a sound choice for people with sensitive skin or allergies. MATTEO uses non-toxic dyes throughout the garment-dyeing process, with no chlorine bleach or harsh whitening agents. If you have reactive skin, wash the cover separately from darker fabrics before first use and avoid detergents with whitening agents.

The King measures 108 x 94 inches (274 x 239 cm) and the Queen measures 90 x 94 inches (229 x 239 cm). MATTEO recommends the King for California King beds and the Queen for Full beds. Because duvet covers are cut generously, check your insert's dimensions before ordering to confirm the fit you prefer.

Wash the Ida in a lukewarm cycle with gentle detergent, separating light and dark colors. Do not use bleach or products containing whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide, as these degrade garment-dyed linen. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling, or line dry for best results. If you prefer a crisp look, press while slightly damp on the Linen or High iron setting.

Yes, and that is an inherent quality of garment-dyeing. MATTEO allows for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye lot to dye lot, which is standard for reactive-dye processes. If you are ordering multiple pieces to match, order them together in the same transaction to maximize the chance of receiving the same dye lot. The variation is subtle and contributes to the lived-in character of the Vintage Linen fabric.

A plain linen duvet cover has a flat, single-layer shell. The Ida adds a quilted top layer with a 3-inch diamond stitch and poly batting, giving it visual texture and additional warmth without the bulk of a traditional quilt. It works as both a functional duvet cover and a decorative layer, which makes it suitable for a bed or a couch. If you want the signature garment-washed linen look with added structure and warmth, the Ida is the more versatile choice. See MATTEO's full luxury linen duvet cover collection to compare options.
