Cath Kids Designer Bedding – Robot

Cath Kidston opened her very first store in London’s Holland Park back in 1993. Since that time, Cath Kidston has cultivated a timeless tradition of providing a unique blend of Modern and Vintage that twins quaint English heritage styles with quirky modern twists – delivering bedding and other products that are fun, functional, practical and fashionable.

Kidston’s inspiration springs from her charming childhood memories, incorporating nostalgic colours, prints, and fabrics. As an adult, Kidston’s love of chic classic fabrics grew during her early work with an antique fabric dealer, and she later began a career in interior design, training with Nicky Haslam – where her passion for design was cultivated.

One day, while browsing through a magazine, Kidston saw a bathroom design featuring vintage rose wallpaper paired with fresh modern design elements and thus began Cath Kidston’s Modern /Vintage brand styling. It is a distinctive melding of traditional English heritage with an inventive modern spin that includes Kidston’s signature prints, novelty prints, bold patterns, delightful spots and charming stars. Cath Kidston introduced the Cath Kids Children’s Bed Linens in 2008, created to pair practical function with the whimsy of childhood.

This Autumn, Victoria Linen Company introduces Cath Kids Robot Duvet Set, a fanciful design featuring colourful smiling robots promising fun and enjoyment for your children’s bedroom. This designer bedding set features robots presented in vivid hues – red, blue, green, yellow, orange, black and brown set on a white background. On the reverse, Kidston’s simRobots-Cath-kidstonple but classic baby blue/white spot pattern compliments the opposite. The Robot Duvet Sets are offered in two sizes – single 54” x 78” (140 x 200 CM) and double 78” x 78” (200 x 200 CM). Single sets include the reversible Robot duvet and coordinating pillowcase, while the double includes the Cath Kidston duvet cover paired with two pillowcases. The Cath Kids Robot Duvet set is made of soft, cozy and durable 100 percent cotton. Additional pillowcases in the same robot/blue and white spots are also available to complete the look!

Beautiful Roald Dahl Bedding in his most beloved Characters!

Roald Dahl Bedding: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory Bedding
At the heart of every childhood adventure is Roald Dahl and his imaginative stories whimsically illustrated by Quentin Blake. At Victoria Linen Company, we are excited to share the latest Roald Dahl Bedding with fans of all ages. Children will adore the vividly bright Roald Dahl Bedding complete with characters from their favorite Dahl stories, even as their parents appreciate the high quality and craftsmanship featured in each set. (Ok, we’ll admit it – parents will also love the whimsy and fond memories as they decorate their children’s room in their own Dahl favorites!)
Considered one of the greatest children’s storyteller’s of all time, Roald Dahl began his life quietly in South Wales. After Boarding School and looking for his own adventure, he began working in Africa for Shell Oil. At the outbreak of World War II, Dahl became a fighter pilot for the RAF (Royal Air Force) where he endured severe injuries as a result of a crash. Following a long recovery, he was assigned to Washington, D.C. to serve in the British Embassy. A chance meeting with British novelist, C.S. Forrester, encouraged Dahl to write the tales of his Africa adventures. He did and the writing career of Roald Dahl began in earnest. After some success with articles, novellas, and short stories, Dahl tried his hand at children’s stories beginning with James and the Giant Peach’s publication in 1960. James was followed by a train of wonderful and inventive children’s stories loved by readers around the world.
Today, fans of Roald Dahl can see their favorite stories come to life in designer bedding from the Roald Dahl Bedding Collection which features the beloved Dahl characters marvelously illustrated by Quinton Blake. Each set is made with the highest quality craftsmanship and care and include a duvet cover and two coordinating pillowcases made of cozy and soft 100 percent cotton and available in single and double sizes.

How do I wash & Protect My Duvet?

A duvet needs a Duvet Cover
Duvet Covers are great at looking after your duvet.

Look after your duvet with these handy washing and duvet cover tips.

Now that you’ve found the perfect duvet or quilt, it’s important to know how to properly care for it. Like any investment you want to get the most benefit out of your purchase. Proper care and a good duvet cover will prolong its usefulness with the result being that you will realize the benefits over many years to come.

Washing your duvet

The duvet should be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Always read the label and follow the directions. Today, there are duvets that can be machine washed and dried. These are usually made with a man-made fillings of some sort. It’s best to use a commercial washer and dryer for this purpose because duvets are bulky and may, simply, not fit in a home washer or dryer.

Naturally filled duvets, such as Goose Down or Duck Feather, are the more difficult to clean. Again, they are usually too bulky for most home washers, and using a tumble dryer on a high heat can damage the filling (feathers and down deteriorate when exposed to heat.) If you look around online hand washing your duvet or quilt in a large sink or a bathtub is one suggested solution.  This issue then arises of how to dry it as air drying might be problematic if you don’t have the room to hang it up.

Duvets must be thoroughly dried because damp filling can mildew and mold and no one wants that to happen! It’s best to have your duvet professionally dry cleaned or professionally laundered. The good news is, that if you properly care for the duvet, professional cleaning will rarely be necessary. Many manufacturers recommend a professional cleaning at least once every five years. But, that requires proper care.

Find the Right Duvet Cover

So, how do you protect your investment? What’s the best way to care for a duvet? More good news! It’s easy. The best, most cost effective, way to protect your duvet is to use a duvet cover.  I’m sure you will know what this is but for those who don’t it’s basically two pieces of fabric stitched together on three sides (obviously, there’s a bit more to it, but you get the idea!). The cover slides over the duvet, keeping it protected from dirt, stains, rips, and tears. These covers come in a wide selection of styles, fabrics, colors, and designs. They are available in a range of standard sizes, as well as custom made sizes to fit any duvet.

Speaking of fit, it’s a good idea to take down the measurements of your duvet when you first receive it. This way, when you’re shopping for a cover, you can be sure you’re purchasing the right size. I’ve personally had an experience with a cover that was marked as a king, but wasn’t even close!

A fun benefit of using a duvet cover is having the ability to change the decor of your room with a simple change of the cover. You can easily change the way a room “feels” without completely redecorating. Go from dark winter colors to light, bright springtime in a snap.

Unlike the duvet, the majority of covers can be put into the household washer and dryer along with your regular sheets and pillowcases. However, to be on the safe side, be sure to read the label before cleaning the cover. There are some synthetic fabrics, such as rayon, that won’t do well in the dryer. It’s best to know that beforehand.

So, simply put, get yourself a couple of beautiful duvet covers.  Its probably the best and cost effective way of looking after and protecting your duvet.

Bed Covers – The Duvet

A duvet is a cover for a bed, much like a comforter. There are a few differences, however. The primary difference is that a duvet is made to be used with a cover of some sort. Much like a pillowcase covers a pillow, duvet covers go over the actual duvet to protect it and to match the bedroom decor. The cover is easily removed for cleaning or changing.

A duvet is constructed much like a quilt–two layers of fabric with a filling in between the layers. The three layers are then stitched together. Unlike quilts, however, a duvet is constructed to be used as a single bedcover. It replaces multiple layers of sheets, blankets, quilts, etc. that are used to keep warm while sleeping. Unless one is living in an extremely cold climate, a single duvet should keep a sleeper toasty warm in the winter months. In addition, the single layer results in quickly and easily making the bed every morning.

Duvets are made of a variety of materials. The outer shell is usually made of cotton, although silk or silk/cotton blends are sometimes used. A high thread count in the outer fabric  is preferable, as the fine filler can make its way through the threads of  lower-count fabrics.  So, the higher the thread count on the outer fabric, the better. Keep in mind, however, that a high thread count does not necessarily mean high quality. If the manufacturer of the fabric uses very fine threads, the fabric won’t be as durable and the duvet may suffer wear and tear in a short period of time.

The filler of a duvet is probably the most important factor you’ll want to consider. It should be natural, whenever possible. The filling is what provides the warmth of a duvet. Natural fill is always preferred, as it allows for breathability and warmth. A variety of synthetic fills are also available for those who suffer from allergies. Natural fillers include feathers, cotton, silk, or even wool. The best filler, however, is down. It tends to be lighter and fluffier while remaining breathable. Down also maintains a high Tog rating.

The Tog is the rating used to determine the warmth of a duvet. The higher the number, the warmer the duvet will be.  If the climate is warm, a Tog rating of five or less would be appropriate. If the climate is colder, a Tog higher than six is advised.

Another consideration is the actual construction of the duvet. Two of the many choices are box or channel construction. In box construction, the seams create a checkerboard of filled pockets. This keeps the filling firmly in place. In channel construction, the evenly spaced seams run the length of the duvet allowing the fill to move within the channels. So, for instance, if you get cold feet, you can move more fill to the bottom of the duvet to keep them warm.

A duvet is a wonderful, versatile investment. With proper care, it can last for many years. To help maintain the life of your duvet, it is advisable to use it with a cover. There are many styles, colors, and designs to choose from. The most difficult decision when choosing a duvet, might just be picking out the right cover!
