To get the most out of your quilt and pillow for many years, it is important that you keep them in good condition.

Do not cover the bed with a bedspread immediately after getting up in the morning, so the quilt can get rid of the moisture it has absorbed during the night.

Now and again it is a good idea to put it in a tumble-dryer to remove the moisture, and the quilt or pillow will become nice and fluffy again.

Shake the quilt when you make the bed, this keeps it fluffy, light and airy. Remember to shake it from different sides, so that the filling is kept evenly distributed.

You should air both quilt and pillow as often as possible, but always in the case – never in direct sunlight as it can damage the natural lanolin layer which protects the down and the feathers.

It is important to avoid vacuuming or beating the quilt. Use a soft brush instead.

Continuous maintenance is important for the life span of your quilt and pillow....
