The Ultimate Guide to Cosy Care: Keep Your Bedding Fresh, Soft, and Long-Lasting
We know you get it—that frustrating feeling of waking up to scratchy sheets or dealing with linens that have lost their once-cozy appeal. With constant use, it's easy for your bedding to become worn, dirty, or uncomfortable—hello restless nights and endless laundry. The secret? It’s simple.
Consistent care.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll show you step-by-step how to care for your Cosy House goodies, so you can enjoy bedding that’s always snuggle-ready for some well-deserved sleep.
Why You Should Clean Your Bedding & How Often
Your bedding is more than just a surface to sleep on—it’s a sanctuary where you spend a third of your life. Over time, bedding can accumulate dust, dead skin cells, sweat, oils, and allergens, which could lead to skin irritation, sensitivities, or even poor sleep quality. In a word—ew.[1]
Experts recommend washing your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets at least once a week to prevent the buildup of these pesky irritants. Why? Just to name a few benefits—a healthier sleeping environment and maintaining the soft coziness we all know and love. Bedding such as duvet covers and comforters fall under this cleaning category as well, depending on its usage and the material it is made from.[1]
Things to Keep In Mind:
-
When washing, stick to cold water. Not only does it help preserve those beautiful colors, but it also prevents your fabric fibers from shrinking.
-
Bleach with extreme caution. If you absolutely must bleach, opt for an oxygenated bleach. Trust us—your bedding will thank you. Chlorine-based bleach can be incredibly harsh on those cozy, cuddly fibers, potentially ruining your bedding.
-
The cleaners you choose are very important. Many popular detergents are loaded with yucky chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate and synthetic fragrances. Investing in a gentle, all-natural detergent will keep your linens nice and clean without the chemical overload.
So, again, the key is consistency. Extending the life of your bedding is up to you! Keep reading to learn how to ensure your bed remains the inviting, clean sanctuary you need it to be.

BONUS: How to Keep Your Bedding Wrinkle-Free
1. Shake It Out: The moment your bedding is done in the wash, give it a good shake. This simple step helps loosen any wrinkles that might form as the fabric dries. Shaking out your sheets also helps remove excess water, speeding up the drying process!
2. Smooth and Straight: When air-drying your bedding, take a moment to smooth out wrinkles with your hands. For best results, hang your sheets and duvet covers evenly, avoiding any awkward folds. This hands-on approach minimizes creases and leaves your bedding looking hotel-perfect.
3. Low and Slow: Opt for a low-heat setting in the dryer to gently tumble your bedding. High heat can set wrinkles, making them harder to remove later. For a wrinkle-free finish, be sure to remove your bedding promptly once it’s dry—letting it sit can create stubborn creases.
4. Fold Immediately: Timing is everything, friends. As soon as your bedding is dry, fold it neatly. This prevents wrinkles from setting in while it languishes in the laundry basket. Folding on a flat surface also helps maintain those crisp, clean lines.
6. The Right Fit: A snug fit matters. Ensure your duvet insert is the correct size for your cover. An insert that's too small will shift around and create unsightly wrinkles. Investing in the right size ensures your bed always looks polished and welcoming.
7. Store It Properly: When not in use, store your bedding in a cool, dry place. Folding it neatly and keeping it in a breathable storage bag will help maintain its smooth, wrinkle-free condition.

I’m so obsessed.
