Everything you need to know to create a beautiful bed, from the key pieces to styling and care.
Build A Better Bed
Start with a good foundation, from the mattress up.
Pillow Talk
To choose the right pillow for you, take into account the type + amount of fill, the level of firmness, and whether you sleep on your side, back or stomach. Here, a quick guide to fill options:
Down Alternate
These hypoallergenic options include plant–based Lyocell, microfibers, memory foam or cooling performance fibers.
Down
European white down is the premium fill. Look for higher fill power for a firmer pillow, but in general, down is soft and molds to the body.
Feather Or Blend
All–feather fill is best for decorative pillows like Euro squares. Feather–down blends are soft and less pricey than pure down.
All our pillows are machine-washable; follow care instructions on pillow.

The Linen Closet
Here's our checklist for a well–stocked linen closet, including a few extras to keep on hand for guests.
What's Your Style?
Relaxed
- Create a relaxed (not messy) look by showing off layers.
- Drape sheets over a turned–down duvet or quilt rather than tucking them in. Layer pillows instead of matching them up perfectly.
- Stylist's Secret: For a lush look, insert 2 duvets into 1 duvet cover.
- Try: European Flax Linen or Organic Washed Cotton bedding.
Luxe Layers
- Layer a quilt or matelassé coverlet with a duvet folded halfway over it.
- Prop up Euro pillows behind standard pillows and match them to the duvet.
- Choose contrasting pillow shams or match them to your sheets. Add a luxe accent pillow or two, and a throw at the foot of the bed.
- Try: a Lush Velvet or Washed Silk quilt.
Minimalist
- Tuck in not only your sheets with hospital corners, but also your quilt or coverlet.
- Stack pillows flat in pairs rather than propping them up.
- Opt for a fitted boxspring cover rather than a bedskirt.
- Try: Organic Cotton Sateen Sheets.
Tips For Care
1. To Keep Whites White
Instead of chlorine bleach, which can harm fabric, use an enzyme- or oxygen-based stain remover, or go natural: Add 1/4 c. lemon juice or 1/2 c. baking soda with your detergent and 1/2 c. white vinegar during the rinse cycle. Wash in warm water. Dry outside in the sun when possible.
2. To Keep Bedding Fresh
Use pillow protectors, duvet and mattress covers, and wash monthly. Wash pillows and duvets twice a year. Use mild liquid detergent, warm water and a second rinse cycle. Dry fully on low heat with tennis balls tucked inside white socks to help fluff them.
