Paisley Duvet Cover
Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is the Paisley Duvet Cover made from?
The Paisley Duvet Cover is 100% linen, woven with a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft for an extremely balanced weave that is soft and sturdy. Each piece is garment-washed using a proprietary process that opens and penetrates the fibers, producing a lived-in softness from the first night. Non-toxic dyes are used throughout; darker colorways include a contrasting white topstitch.
Is linen a good material for a duvet cover if I sleep hot?
Linen is one of the most breathable bedding materials available. Derived from the flax plant, it is naturally moisture-absorbent and temperature-regulating: it keeps you cool when warm and adds insulation when cool. The Vintage Linen fabric used in this duvet cover is also hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, making it a strong choice for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
What sizes are available for the Paisley Duvet Cover, and which size fits a Cal-King or Full bed?
The Paisley Duvet Cover is available in Queen (90 x 94 inches / 229 x 239 cm) and King (108 x 94 inches / 274 x 239 cm). MATTEO recommends the King size for Cal-King beds and the Queen size for Full beds. Duvet covers are cut generously, so check your insert dimensions before ordering to confirm your preferred fit.
How do I care for a linen duvet cover?
Wash the Paisley Duvet Cover in a lukewarm cycle with a gentle detergent and a cool rinse, separating light and dark colors. Do not use bleach or products containing chlorine, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide, as these will damage the garment-dyed finish. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying gives the best results. If you prefer a crisp look, press while slightly damp on the Linen or High iron setting.
What is the Paisley pattern on this duvet cover, and how prominent is the design?
The Paisley motif is a repeating teardrop-shaped pattern of Persian origin, later widely reproduced by Scottish textile makers in the town of Paisley. MATTEO's version is intentionally ornate but restrained: the design reads as visual texture rather than a bold graphic, so it adds interest to a bed without overpowering the room. It pairs well with solid linen shams or a relaxed, layered bed.
Does linen get softer over time, and will the Paisley Duvet Cover look better with age?
Yes. Linen's fiber structure means it softens with each wash and use cycle, becoming more supple over years rather than pilling or thinning. The Vintage Linen in this duvet cover is already garment-washed before it reaches you, so the initial hand feel is noticeably soft. The Paisley design holds its character as the fabric ages, and the lived-in texture that develops is consistent with the aesthetic MATTEO has built this collection around for over a decade.
Is this a limited-edition duvet cover, and what colors are currently in stock?
The Paisley design is a limited-quantity release; once available sizes sell out, it will not be restocked. White (King and Queen) and Bay (Queen) have inventory remaining as of this listing. This product is sold through MATTEOX and is final-availability stock, meaning quantities are fixed and no reorders are planned.
How is the Paisley Duvet Cover different from MATTEO's plain Vintage Linen Duvet Cover?
The fabric, construction, and care instructions are identical: 100% linen, 28 single-metric yarn, garment-washed with non-toxic dyes, knife-edge seam, and hidden YKK zipper. The Paisley version adds a woven or printed repeating teardrop motif that gives the bed surface more visual depth than a solid colorway, while remaining quiet enough to layer with other textiles. It is the same Vintage Linen construction in a design that reads as considered rather than plain.
