Tat Cotton Duvet Cover

The Tat Cotton Duvet Cover is 100% cotton in a percale weave at 225 thread count, garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes. The base fabric is MATTEO's Nap percale, woven with 40s single-strand yarn, which gives it a crisp finish similar to a lightly-starched dress shirt. It softens with each wash and holds up well over years of use.

The ruffle border is a deconstructed take on a traditional ruffle: the fine stitching details that are typically hidden beneath the seam are left exposed, and the edges are left raw. MATTEO spent months adjusting the ruffle length and sewing tension, and developed custom ruching and shirring machines along with a novel cutting technique to achieve the right result. Some additional fraying along the edges is natural over time and part of the design.

MATTEO recommends a King Duvet Cover (108 x 94 inches / 274 x 239 cm) for a Cal-King bed, and a Queen Duvet Cover (90 x 94 inches / 229 x 239 cm) for a Full bed. The duvet covers are cut generously, so check the dimensions of your insert before ordering to confirm the fit you prefer.

Wash the Tat Cotton Duvet Cover on a gentle or delicate cycle using cold water and a mild, non-enzymatic detergent. Place it inside a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction and prevent threads from catching on other items. Air dry by laying flat or hanging; do not tumble dry, as the tumbling action can deteriorate the raw edges faster than intended. If any loose threads appear over time, trim them carefully with sharp scissors rather than pulling them.

Bleach may be used on white cotton versions only. For garment-dyed colorways, avoid any products containing whitening agents, including chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide, as the reactive dyes used in the garment-dyeing process are not resistant to these agents. Garment-dyeing is an art rather than a precise science, so a shade variation of +/- 10% between dye lots is normal. You can learn more about MATTEO's garment-dyeing process here.

Thread count measures the number of threads woven per square inch, but a higher number does not automatically mean a better sheet. Percale weaves at 200 to 300 thread count, woven with single-strand yarn, consistently produce a crisper, more breathable hand than multi-ply weaves inflating counts above 600. The Tat Cotton's 225 thread count Nap percale, woven with 40s single-strand yarn, is built for longevity and gets noticeably softer with repeated washing rather than pilling or losing structure.

Yes, this duvet cover is available through MATTEO's clearance selection at limited availability. Clearance items are samples that may show minor variations including off-color shades, slight thread irregularities, or faded edges, and pieces in the same color may differ slightly in tone due to dye-lot differences. Items at 50% to 70% off are eligible for a full refund or store credit; items at 80% to 90% off are returnable for store credit only, subject to a $10 restocking fee.

The raw-edge ruffle border reads well against both minimal and layered beds. Neutral colorways like Greige, Oat, and Off White work with linen shams and a matelasse coverlet for a relaxed, California-influenced look; deeper tones like Coal or Night layer well with solid cotton percale sheets in a contrasting light color. Because the Nap percale base has a crisp, slightly structured hand, it holds its shape on the bed without looking overwrought.
