Paisley Quilted Coverlet
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Paisley Quilted Coverlet made of?
The Paisley Quilted Coverlet is 100% linen with a poly batting interior, finished with a 1/4" linen binding. Two layers of MATTEO's Vintage Linen are quilted together with a unique quilting thread in a 10" square pattern. The linen is garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes, designed and manufactured by MATTEO in Los Angeles.
Is a linen coverlet good for hot sleepers?
Linen is naturally moisture-absorbent and temperature-regulating: it keeps you cool when you're warm and adds insulation when you're cold. Derived from the flax plant, the fiber's open weave allows air circulation that a tightly woven cotton quilt does not. This makes the Paisley Quilted Coverlet a practical choice for warmer climates or year-round use in rooms that run warm.
What sizes does the Paisley Quilted Coverlet come in?
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 are cut to drape over the bed with a consistent drop on all sides.
How do I care for a garment-washed linen coverlet?
Machine wash in lukewarm water with a 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 will damage the garment-dyed finish. 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. For more detail, see MATTEO's garment dyeing guide.
What is the difference between a quilted coverlet and a duvet cover?
A quilted coverlet is a self-contained bed layer: it has its own batting and requires no insert. A duvet cover is a shell that encloses a separate comforter or duvet insert. The Paisley Quilted Coverlet works on its own as a lightweight top layer in warmer months, or sits over a duvet in cooler weather for added visual texture and warmth.
Is the Paisley design subtle enough to work with existing bedding?
The paisley motif, a repeating teardrop-shaped print of Persian origin, is rendered in a tonal, low-contrast way on the Vintage Linen ground so it reads as texture rather than pattern from a distance. The 10" square quilting lines add structure without competing with the print. It layers cleanly over solid linen or cotton sheets in neutral colorways.
Is linen hypoallergenic? Is the Paisley Quilted Coverlet safe for sensitive skin?
Linen is naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial, making it a practical fiber choice for people with sensitive skin or dust-mite sensitivities. The Paisley Quilted Coverlet is dyed using non-toxic dyes with no harsh chemical finishes, and the garment-washing process removes residual sizing from the fabric before it reaches you.
Is the Paisley Quilted Coverlet a limited-edition product?
Yes. The Paisley Quilted Coverlet is available in final quantities only. Once the current stock sells through, this design will not be restocked. Only a small number of units remain in select colors and sizes. These are MATTEOX clearance items, which may include minor cosmetic variations from their original production run.
