Using this duvet cover set is easy. First, open the button closure on the duvet cover and insert your padding (you'll need to get one separately). Make sure to secure the padding with the corner ties inside to keep it in place. Place the duvet on your bed and arrange the two pillow shams on top. For a more coordinated look, you can add the Cocoon Euro shams (sold separately). When it comes to cleaning, just throw the duvet cover and pillow shams in the washing machine. This set is suitable for a casual lifestyle, so feel free to use it every day. Keep in mind that while it's machine washable, follow the standard washing instructions to maintain its quality and softness.
