Care Instructions
SoftMorrow Care Instructions
Thoughtful care for the layers you live with every night.
Bedding care does not need to feel complicated. A few considered habits can make everyday washing, drying and storage easier while helping you care for sheets, pillowcases, blankets, protectors and other sleep essentials in a way that suits their individual construction.
Always follow the care label and product-specific instructions supplied with your item. Materials, fills, coatings, heating components and constructions can require different methods.
Before you begin
Start with the label, then keep the routine gentle.
Check before washing
Read the attached care label for washing temperature, cycle, drying method and any product-specific restrictions.
Separate with intention
Sort bedding according to color, material and care requirements rather than assuming every bedroom textile can be washed together.
Dry completely before storage
Make sure washable bedding is fully dry using the method allowed by its care instructions before folding it away.
Everyday basics
Four habits that keep bedding care straightforward.
These general habits are useful starting points, but the care label for each individual item should always take priority.
Read the care label
Fabric blends, fills, protective coatings and specialty constructions may all have different washing and drying requirements.
Avoid crowding the wash
Large bedding pieces need room to move. Follow your appliance guidance and avoid forcing oversized items into a machine that is not suited to them.
Use the approved drying method
Some items may allow machine drying while others may require a different approach. Follow the individual care label rather than using one method for all.
Store clean and fully dry
Fold seasonal bedding only after it is clean and dry, then place it in a suitable dry storage area away from conditions that could affect the textile.
Washing routine
A calm sequence before anything goes into the wash.
Taking a moment to prepare bedding before washing can make the routine more organized and reduce the need to guess once the cycle begins.
-
01
Read the label Confirm whether the item is washable and review the permitted temperature, cycle and drying instructions.
-
02
Separate the load Group pieces according to compatible colors, fabric types and care requirements instead of washing all bedding together automatically.
-
03
Prepare closures and removable pieces Follow the product instructions for zippers, covers, inserts or other removable components before laundering.
-
04
Choose only approved settings Use the washing method shown on the item's care label and the instructions supplied with your washing appliance.
Care by bedding type
Different layers deserve different attention.
These notes help you identify what to check before cleaning. They are not a substitute for the instructions attached to the specific product.
Check fabric and finish first.
Everyday sheets and pillowcases can vary in fiber content, weave and finishing, so washing temperature and drying guidance may differ.
Review the label before choosing water temperature, cycle or drying method.
Separate the cover from the insert when intended.
A removable duvet cover and the duvet or insert inside it are separate products and may not share the same care requirements.
Check the instructions for both pieces rather than treating them as one item.
Allow for the size and construction.
Filled bedding can be bulky and may require specific washing capacity, drying conditions or professional care depending on the product.
Do not force oversized filled bedding into an unsuitable appliance.
Pay attention to texture and construction.
Quilting, stitching, woven surfaces and different fiber blends can affect the method recommended for cleaning and drying.
Follow the specific label to preserve the intended construction.
Treat the cover and inner pillow separately when applicable.
Some pillow covers may be removable while the inner pillow has different cleaning requirements or may not be intended for the same wash method.
Check both the outer cover and internal component instructions.
Consider protective layers and internal materials.
Waterproof barriers, padding, foam or specialty construction can change how a mattress protector or topper should be cleaned.
Avoid assuming that every mattress layer is machine washable.
Drying & finishing
Let the care label decide how drying should happen.
Drying guidance can be just as important as washing guidance, particularly for filled bedding, protective layers and specialty sleep products.
Special care categories
Some sleep essentials need more specific handling.
Products with weighted fills, electrical components, foam, waterproof layers or light-blocking construction should not be treated as ordinary sheets or blankets.
Weighted blankets
Weight, filling and outer-cover construction can affect whether the blanket or its cover may be washed and what equipment is appropriate. Follow the specific product instructions.
Heated blankets & throws
Electrical components require product-specific care. Disconnect removable controls where instructed and follow the supplied cleaning and safety guidance exactly.
Memory foam products
A removable cover and a foam core may have different care methods. Do not assume the internal foam can be machine washed because the cover can be.
Protectors & bed pads
Waterproof or protective layers may have specific temperature and drying limitations. Follow the product label to care for the barrier correctly.
Blackout curtains
Blackout backing, lining and curtain hardware can change the recommended care method. Review the instructions before washing, steaming or pressing.
Sleep masks
Outer fabric, padding, straps and internal layers can require different care. Use the method specified for the particular sleep mask you own.
Seasonal storage
Put bedding away ready for its next season.
Extra quilts, blankets, comforters and guest bedding are easier to return to use when they are stored clean, dry and carefully arranged.
- Clean each item according to its own care instructions before storage.
- Allow bedding to dry completely before folding or placing it away.
- Use a suitable clean, dry storage location appropriate for the textile.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on items that should retain loft or shape.
- Check stored bedding before returning it directly to the bed.
Care instructions attached to the product always take priority over general guidance on this page.
Care questions
Common questions about everyday bedding care.
Can I wash all SoftMorrow bedding in the same way?
No. Materials, fills and construction can vary from one product to another. Always follow the care instructions provided with the specific item.
Should sheets, blankets and comforters be washed together?
Not automatically. Different items may have different care requirements, and larger bedding can require more machine capacity. Sort pieces according to compatible care instructions and your appliance guidance.
Can a removable pillow or duvet cover be washed separately?
Where the product is designed with a removable cover, the cover and inner component may have separate care instructions. Check the guidance for both pieces before cleaning.
Can I machine wash a memory foam pillow or topper?
Do not assume that the foam core is machine washable. Foam products and their removable covers may have different care requirements, so follow the product-specific instructions.
How should I care for heated bedding?
Heated blankets and throws contain electrical components and require their own cleaning and handling instructions. Follow the supplied product guidance and disconnect removable controls only where instructed.
What should I do if I cannot find the care instructions?
Avoid guessing with specialty bedding. Contact SoftMorrow with the product details so our team can help you identify the appropriate information.
Care with confidence
A softer routine begins with knowing what each layer needs.
Keep the process simple: identify the product, read its instructions, use an appropriate wash or cleaning method, dry it completely as directed and store it thoughtfully when it is not in use.
