Care Guide for your Sleeping Dove Comforter

For helpful folding, washing, and care video tips, please visit the bottom of our FAQs page here.

Down Comforter Care

(Spot clean only. Do not bleach. Do not iron.)

Sleeping Dove comforters are loftier and generously sized for fuller coverage. For the down version, spot cleaning is recommended for minor spills or stains. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to gently clean the affected area. For a deep clean, professional laundering is recommended (laundering only, as dry cleaning involves the use of harsh chemicals). Choose professional cleaners that are experienced in handling large bedding items, know how to properly wash and dry premium down comforters, and use high-capacity washers and dryers.

Down Alternative Comforter Care

(Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Use a mesh laundry bag when washing. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach. Do not iron.)

Sleeping Dove comforters are loftier and generously sized for fuller coverage. For down alternative comforters, use a large-capacity commercial front-loading washer and dryer only. Bulky bedding needs adequate space and airflow to wash and dry properly. This helps preserve quality and longevity while reducing the risk of fabric damage or scorching.

Folding instructions

  • Lay the comforter flat on the bed with the logos at the foot and all four windows closed.
  • Fold lengthwise by bringing the right edge to the center and the left edge to the center, then fold in half.
  • Fold widthwise by bringing the top edge to the center and the bottom edge to the center, then fold in half again.
  • If using a mesh laundry bag, place the folded comforter inside before washing.

Washing Instructions

  • Use a front-loading, large-capacity commercial washing machine.
  • Add a mild detergent. 
  • Select cold water and a delicate/gentle cycle.

Drying Instructions

  • Remove the comforter from the mesh bag, if used.
  • Use a large-capacity commercial dryer.
  • Select low heat and add a couple of dryer balls, if available.
  • Check periodically and move the comforter around so it dries thoroughly and evenly. Remove promptly once dry to prevent overheating.

After washing, lay your down or down alternative comforter on the bed and allow it a few days to fully relax and regain its optimal loft and comfort. Shaking and fluffing help maintain its shape and loft over time.
