Tat Cotton Duvet Cover
Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover made from?
The Tat Cotton Duvet Cover is 100% cotton percale, woven with 40s single-strand yarn at 225 thread count. The base fabric is MATTEO's Nap percale, which has a crisp, clean finish similar to a lightly-starched dress shirt. It is garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes, and it grows softer with every wash.
What makes the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover different from a standard ruffled duvet cover?
The Tat Cotton Duvet Cover uses a deconstructed ruffle technique: the stitching details normally hidden beneath the seam are left exposed, and the edges are kept raw rather than finished. MATTEO developed custom ruching, shirring machines, and a novel cutting technique over months of development to achieve the exact ruffle length and tension. The result is a tattered, textile-forward border that reads as intentional and specific, not decorative in a conventional sense.
What sizes does the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover come in, and how does the sizing work?
The Tat Cotton Duvet Cover is available in Twin, Queen, and King. The King measures 108 x 94 inches (274 x 239 cm) and the Queen measures 90 x 94 inches (229 x 239 cm). The covers are cut generously, so MATTEO recommends a King Duvet Cover for a Cal-King bed and a Queen Duvet Cover for a Full bed. Check your insert dimensions before ordering to confirm the fit you prefer.
How do I care for the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover's raw-edge ruffle?
Wash the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover on a gentle or delicate cycle using cold water, and place it in a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction on the raw edges. Use a mild, non-enzymatic detergent and avoid bleach or whitening agents, which can weaken garment-dyed fabric. Air drying flat or line drying is recommended; if you need to machine dry, use low or no heat briefly, then remove promptly. If loose threads appear over time, trim them with sharp scissors and do not pull.
Is the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover safe for people with sensitive skin?
The Tat Cotton Duvet Cover is dyed using non-toxic dyes and is garment-washed before it ships, so it arrives pre-softened without harsh chemical residue. The 100% cotton percale construction is free of synthetic fibers. For those with reactive skin, washing once before first use with a mild detergent is a straightforward precaution.
Does the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover come in white, and is it suitable as a hotel-quality white duvet cover?
Yes, the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover is available in White, Off White, and Moon. The White colorway uses MATTEO's Nap percale base, a 225 thread count, 40s single-strand cotton percale that is garment-washed for a clean, lived-in hand. Bleach may be used on white cotton versions only, which supports the laundering routine typical of hotel and hospitality linen programs. The YKK hidden zipper closure keeps the front face clean and smooth.
How does 225 thread count compare to higher thread counts in cotton duvet covers?
Thread count measures how many threads are woven per square inch, but a higher number does not automatically mean better quality. Percale weave at 200 to 300 thread count, when woven with long-staple single-strand yarn like MATTEO's 40s yarn, produces a crisper, more durable fabric than many 600-thread-count covers made with multi-ply yarn. The Tat Cotton's 225 thread count Nap percale gets noticeably softer with each wash while holding its structure over years of use.
Can the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover work as a wedding registry or gift option?
The Tat Cotton Duvet Cover is available in 15 colorways, from White and Off White to deeper tones like Coal, Night, and Fig, which gives flexibility for registries across a range of bedroom palettes. The duvet cover is designed and manufactured by MATTEO in Los Angeles and arrives with the garment-washing already done, so it is ready to use from the first night. Its raw-edge ruffle detail is specific enough to read as a considered gift rather than a generic bedding choice.
