What care instructions apply to duvets and pillows made of polyester?
Good sleep comes from being comfortable in your bed, with clean and fresh bed textiles. Each material has its own unique properties to give you a comfortable sleep. To make your polyester bedroom textiles last longer, you can air your duvets and pillows often, wash them at up to 60°C, and use a pillow cover that protects against stains and dirt.
Sleeping well can be the difference between a good and a great day! By taking care of your bed textiles, you can help them last longer and preserve the comfortable feeling. When you buy new products, it can take a few days for roll-packed duvets and pillows that have been pressed together for transport to regain the right shape and fluffiness. Below you will find some care instructions for your bed textiles made with polyester.
- Duvets and pillows made of polyester are easy to care for and can be washed often. They also dry relatively quickly.
- You can wash all IKEA duvets and pillows at 60°C, which is the temperature at which mites die. Follow the washing instructions carefully so that your duvets and pillows are kept clean from mites and dirt.
- Your pillows will last longer if you use a pillow cover that protects against stains and dirt.
- Air duvets and pillows often so they don't get dusty and stay fresh and dry.
- Mites thrive in damp, warm and dark environments. Therefore, when you wake up in the morning, you should air out duvets and pillows so that any moisture can evaporate before putting them back on the bed.

Good sleep is promoted by being comfortable in your bed, with clean and fresh bed textiles. Each material has unique properties to give you a comfortable sleep. To make your bedroom textiles in natural materials last longer, it is a good idea to air your duvets and pillows often, wash them at up to 60°C, and buy a pillow cover that protects against stains and dirt. Remember to tumble dry freshly washed bed linen immediately after washing until the filling is completely dry, preferably with tennis balls or dryer balls.
