Fabric

Vintage Linen has been our most popular fabric for over a decade. This collection pays homage to everything we love about linen that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Derived from the flax plant, linen's durability and tendency to grow softer with time make it ideal for bedding that can last for years. Linen is naturally moisture absorbent and insulating. It keeps you cool when you are hot, and warms when you are cold. Linen is also hypoallergenic and antimicrobial.

Our Vintage Linen uses a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft. The weave is extremely balanced, which produces a linen fabric that is both soft and sturdy.The magic of our Vintage Linen is in the special washing process we use in our dye house. This wash opens and penetrates the depths of the fibers, softening each one and creating a truly special sleep.

It is difficult to understand the experience of a night's sleep in linen without trying. We hope you will. You will awake in the morning feeling refreshed and rejuvenated; linen breathes beautifully.

Care Details

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors.We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Do not use bleach on linen. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat.Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you Don't find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our linen should be pressed while slightly damp using the Linen or High setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric is the Vintage Linen Bolster Cover made from?

The Vintage Linen Bolster Cover is 100% linen, woven from a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft for a balanced weave that is soft and sturdy. Each cover is garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes at MATTEO's dye house in Los Angeles, which opens and softens the fibers to give the linen its characteristic lived-in texture.

What sizes does the Vintage Linen Bolster Cover come in?

The cover is available in two sizes: 14 x 30 inches (36 x 76 cm) and 14 x 60 inches (36 x 152 cm). The 14 x 30 is well-suited for a single bolster at the head of the bed, while the 14 x 60 spans a king or queen bed as a full-width backrest.

How do I care for a linen bolster cover?

Machine wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, keeping light and dark colors separated. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying gives the best result. Do not use bleach or products containing whitening agents, as they will damage the garment-dyed finish.

How can I use a bolster cover in my bedroom?

The Vintage Linen Bolster Cover works at the back of the bed as a headboard alternative or supplement, at the foot of the bed as a resting place, or on the floor as a floor cushion or backrest. Each cover is finished with a hand-braided linen tie with a raw edge, adding a considered detail that holds the bolster insert in place.
