Is percale or sateen better for hot sleepers?

Percale is the cooler choice. Its tight, matte weave lets more air through and feels crisp rather than silky, so it suits warm sleepers and summer use better than sateen.

Will the scalloped edge survive washing?

Cotton scallop trim holds up to normal washing, but use cold water and a gentle cycle and skip high heat. Ironing or smoothing the edge while damp keeps the scallop lying flat.

What comes in the two-piece set?

A twin set pairs one duvet cover with one pillowcase. You supply the duvet insert and pillow separately.

Does it fit a standard twin duvet insert?

It is sized for a twin bed, so pair it with a twin duvet insert. Check the insert's dimensions against the cover so the fill doesn't bunch at the corners.

How does it compare with a printed duvet cover?

It is quieter and more versatile than a print, and the scallop adds interest up close. A print hides stains and wrinkles better; this solid cotton shows both more readily.

How should I care for the cotton?

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low, removing promptly to limit wrinkles. Avoid bleach and high heat, which shrink cotton and dull the color.
