The Citizenry Linen Quilt

Stonewashing is a mechanical process that breaks down the fibers of the flax, giving the quilt a supple, lived-in texture from the moment you take it out of the packaging. It removes the stiffness often associated with new linen, ensuring it feels soft against the skin immediately.

This is a lightweight, breathable layer designed for year-round use. While it provides a cozy weight, it is not a heavy-duty winter comforter; you may want to layer it with a duvet or wool blanket during colder months.

The Oeko-Tex certification ensures that every component of the quilt, from the fabric to the thread, has been tested and verified to be free from harmful levels of over 100 substances known to be dangerous to human health.

Yes, linen is a natural fiber that naturally softens with every wash and use. Because this quilt is already stonewashed, it starts with a significant head start on softness, but it will continue to develop a more relaxed, supple hand over the years.

We recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble drying on low heat. To maintain the relaxed, crinkled aesthetic, you can skip ironing entirely, as the natural texture is part of the quilt's appeal.
