Restoration Duvet Cover
A classic revisited, our Restoration Duvet Cover is made from the same 500 thread count Pima cotton as our Heritage fabric, woven in a sateen finish. It is soft against the skin from the very first night, and gets softer with every wash, whilst remaining bright white wash after wash.
This collection is made in collaboration with Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, pairing our finest sateen with a palette of calming, plant-based paint colours chosen to soothe and restore. Edward Bulmer is a celebrated British interior designer and pioneer of sustainable paint, known for restoring some of the country's most distinguished historic homes, including Althorp and Goodwood.
Every duvet cover closes with our signature French Tail, a closure that tucks neatly under the mattress and holds everything in place without a single button or zip.
Trims
Our Restoration Duvet Covers are available with Double Hemstitch detail in three colours that match Edward Bulmer's best-selling shades: Jonquil, Ethereal Blue, and Fawn.
We have worked with the same artisan mills across Europe, for over twenty years. All our bed and bath linen is woven and finished in Portugal and Italy and our cashmere and woollen products come from Scotland, Wales and the British borders. Every product has been designed and specified by us, from the yarn to the finished item, to ensure a perfect and lasting experience.
Certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® - Every component is tested for harmful substances, down to the thread. We are proud to be the first bedlinen company certified by Positive Luxury.

Why it stays put
The French Tail
Most duvet covers close with buttons and drift by morning. Ours ends in a long tail that tucks deep under the mattress, holding the duvet square to the bed all night.
It is one of the reasons hotels specify us, and the detail customers mention most often in reviews.
Grosgrain ribbon trim
Grosgrain Trim
Grosgrain is a ribbed ribbon woven from heavier weft threads across a finer warp, giving it a firm, textured structure. It is applied as an edging or contrast border on bed linen. The dense weave holds its shape and colour through repeated laundering.
Single hemstitch detail
Hemstitch
A single hemstitch is a drawn-thread finish, made by removing a row of weft threads and binding the remaining warp threads into small, evenly spaced groups. This creates one row of open, ladder-like stitching along the hem, giving a classic, traditional look.
Available in Heritage White, Silver and Ivory.
Double Hemstitch detail
Double Hemstitch
A double hemstitch uses the same drawn-thread technique as a single hemstitch, worked as two parallel rows instead of one. Each row is stitched separately, requiring a second pass along the hem, for a more pronounced version of the classic hemstitch look.

I came across the brand while searching for a nice gift to celebrate my cotton anniversary. I read some reviews online and they were all great. I really liked the designs they offer and the personalisation options. I engaged with support to ask a couple of questions and they were very attentive and responded so quickly, I was genuinely impressed that I was sold on buying from them. I made my purchase online without any troubles and had my order delivered 2-3 days later, which I thought was very fast. I was so surprised that I recevied a lovely handwritten note regarding my anniversary which I really appreciated. The products are extremely nice quality and delivered exactly what I was looking for: a luxury hotel experience every night! I didn't know I needed this level of quality in my bed but it has been incredible that I might order more of their products. I would recommend 10/10
ur experience with London & Avalon has been outstanding. Their team, and Charlotte in particular, couldn't have been more attentive. Our order arrived on time and in perfect condition. Their sheets and towels are of exceptional quality, and they pay great attention to detail, with beautifully executed, elegant embroidery throughout. We look forward to working with you again on future projects. Thank you for everything! EMCI Team.
Since 2009 I am client of London and Avalon - called Josephine's before. The quality and the service is just awesome and the service is just outstanding. many thanks.
Thank you very much for the samples! Absolutely gorgeous quality, colours! I love it! My strong recommendation!
Unbelievably decadent bed linen! The softest we've ever slept on. We'll be back for more.

Wonderful bath linen!
We acquired the pillows from this site and every night since then it’s been the best night sleep ever
I came across this lovely website whilst looking for a good quality pillow for my son. I purchased the standard hypoallergenic pillow in medium and I’m very happy I did

Which size do I need if my mattress is American?
Please refer to our size guide to find the correct size items for your US mattress. Some UK and US pillowcases are the same size, but duvets and duvet covers do differ. You can either purchase a UK sized duvet and duvet cover from us that will work with your US mattress, or you can purchase a US size duvet cover through our made to order service. We stock US King, Queen and Full size fitted sheets. Please see size guide for more details.
Will I be charged customs or duty on delivery?

Is 500 thread count sateen too warm for summer?
Is 500 thread count sateen too warm for summer?
Our 500 thread count Pima sateen Heritage cotton is a little warmer than our percale Island Egyptian cotton, but that's more to do with the weave than the thread count.
A percale cotton is cool, crisp and breathable due to the one-over one-under basket like weave, allowing more air to travel through the fabric.
A sateen cotton that has a 3-over one-under weave is more insulating. Both are more breathable than a synthetic weave, but if you are a warm sleeper, our Island Collection would suit you better.
Can I match the trim to my interior scheme?
Can I match the trim to my interior scheme?
Yes. Six different colour trims are stocked for immediate despatch, with another 35 that are available to order through our made to order service. We can also dye match a grosgrain ribbon to any swatch, paint reference or fabric you send us.
Do you offer a trade or designer account?
Do you offer a trade or designer account?
We do, for interior designers, hoteliers and private clients furnishing a large project.
You will be assigned a sales person, who will see your project through from first quote to delivery and install.
They will prepare a personalised sample pack, or come and visit you (up to 3 hours from London) to take you through the entire range. They will provide you with all pricing requirements, including bespoke sizing and all possibilities, and personally oversee your project to the end.
