Ironing laundry piling up? Very little for you! But how can you have an impeccable bed without going through the “iron” box? What material should you choose for a non-iron duvet cover? We reveal all our secrets to you.
Non-iron duvet covers made from natural materials
The answer is yes ! Having a beautiful sheet without ironing is possible. Wrinkle-resistant bed linen does exist and in several materials: cotton jersey, cotton percale, cotton satin, silk, linen, flannel... So let's go and discover them.
Cotton jersey
Used mainly to make bed linen for babies and children, cotton jersey is also a non-iron fitted sheet material. Placed directly on the mattress, cotton jersey bed linen is surprisingly easy to maintain. In addition, it is a flexible, absorbent and stretchy fabric. Obviously prefer organic cotton jersey, which is unparalleled softness.
Cotton percale
Percale is made from high quality cotton fibers, with a very fine and tight weave of threads. It is also a supple, soft and silky fabric. Its advantage? Ironed or not, a cotton percale cover remains very aesthetic! In addition, its charm lies in its naturally wrinkled side. For a smoother feel, opt for “washed” percale duvet covers .
Cotton satin
With an even finer weave than percale, the cotton sateen duvet cover is very soft and smooth to the touch. With a slightly shiny and satiny appearance, this luxury fabric requires no ironing. In addition, it is a material known for not wrinkling the skin or tangling the hair. It is also ideal in all seasons thanks to its excellent regulation.
The silk
Properly hung out in the shade to dry, silk or silk satin duvet covers can be placed directly on the bed, without the need for ironing. Especially since this natural material does not tolerate the humidity released by the iron. On the other hand, a silk bedding set should not be put in the dryer. Antiallergic and antibacterial, silk is also a thermoregulatory material, like linen or metis (blend of linen and cotton). It is very light on the skin and allows you to combine fluidity and comfort. Apart from the silk models, you can also choose our washed linen duvet cover . Very easy to maintain, its natural crinkled effect will bring charm and authenticity to your bedding.

Flannel
A flannel bed set is made of cotton that has been brushed for a perfectly fluffy effect. This is a particularly soft linen, perfect in winter! Very breathable and absorbent, flannel warms instantly. If you lay your flannel cover perfectly (including the flap), it will not require any ironing.
No-iron duvet covers made from synthetic materials
Do you want wrinkle-free duvet covers like in big hotels? Prioritize these few subjects:
Polycotton
In the hotel rooms, the beds are made impeccably and without being wrinkled. The secret ?
A no-iron polycotton duvet cover ! Indeed, this blend of polyester and cotton combines the benefits of cotton (hypoallergenic, absorbent and temperature-regulating) with the impeccable hold of polyester: wrinkle-free! Result: a duvet cover with impeccable hold! A polycotton set is perfect for summer, because it absorbs moisture like no other and does not retain odors.
Good to know: polycotton bed linens are not only available in white, but are available in a variety of colors and patterns. To maintain the weave, we recommend washing cold before use and then opting for washes at 60 degrees.
Polyester
Some bedding sets are made entirely from polyester. A light, supple material that is very soft to the touch. It is also its great elasticity which allows it not to crease, thus saving you long hours of ironing. Strong and durable, the polyester duvet cover requires no special precautions when washing and it dries very quickly.
