Paisley Quilted Coverlet
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Paisley Quilted Coverlet made of?
The Paisley Quilted Coverlet is constructed from 100% linen with a poly batting layer. We use two layers of our Vintage Linen, joined with a unique quilting thread in a 10-inch square pattern. The linen is derived from the flax plant, which means it grows softer with each wash and remains naturally hypoallergenic and moisture-absorbent.
Is the Paisley Quilted Coverlet a good choice for hot sleepers?
Linen is one of the most breathable natural fibers available, and the Paisley Quilted Coverlet uses it as both its face and back fabric. Linen regulates temperature naturally: it pulls heat away when you are warm and retains it when the room cools. The lightweight poly batting adds just enough body without trapping heat, making this coverlet a reliable choice year-round.
How do I wash and care for the Paisley Quilted Linen Coverlet?
Wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent and a cool rinse, separating light and dark colors. Do not use bleach or any products containing chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, or benzoyl peroxide, as these will damage the reactive garment dyes. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying produces the best results. If you prefer a pressed look, iron while slightly damp on the Linen or High setting.
What sizes does the Paisley Quilted Coverlet come in, and what are the dimensions?
The Paisley Quilted Coverlet is available in Queen (90 x 95 inches / 229 x 241 cm) and King (108 x 95 inches / 274 x 241 cm). Both sizes carry the same 1/4-inch linen binding and 10-inch square quilting pattern throughout.
What is the Paisley design, and where does it come from?
Paisley is a repeating teardrop-shaped motif with Persian origins, later popularized by the Scottish town of Paisley, which reproduced the pattern across textiles for decades. MATTEO's version keeps the ornate character of the traditional print while calibrating it to sit quietly on the bed rather than dominate it. The result works as a visual layer over solid-colored sheets without competing with the rest of the room.
Is the Paisley Quilted Coverlet garment-dyed, and what does that mean for the color?
Yes, the coverlet is garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic reactive dyes after construction, not before. Garment-dyeing produces color that penetrates the fiber deeply and develops a lived-in character over time. Because garment-dyeing is an art rather than an exact science, minor shade variation between dye lots is normal and expected. Learn more about how garment-dyeing works at MATTEO.
What should I know about buying the Paisley Quilted Coverlet from the clearance page?
Clearance units are samples that may show visible imperfections, including off-color shades, irregular threads, or faded edges. Units in the same color from different dye lots may also vary slightly in tone. Coverlets purchased at 50% to 70% off are eligible for a full refund or store credit; those purchased at 80% to 90% off can only be returned for store credit, and all MATTEOX returns carry a $10 restocking fee.
Can the Paisley Quilted Linen Coverlet be used on a couch or chair, or is it only for the bed?
The coverlet is built to withstand home laundering, which makes it practical for the bed, a sofa, or a reading chair. The 100% linen face holds up to regular washing and softens further with each cycle. We worked to balance softness, warmth, and body so the coverlet functions as well thrown over a chair as it does layered at the foot of the bed.
