Matouk Alba Coverlet

The sateen weave gives this coverlet a noticeably smoother, silkier hand-feel than a traditional percale or standard cotton quilt. It has a subtle sheen and a softer drape, making it feel more luxurious against the skin.

Yes, the Alba is designed as a lightweight layer. It provides enough coverage for warmer months on its own, but it also works well as a decorative top layer over a duvet or blanket when temperatures drop.

It is machine washable, which makes maintenance straightforward. Use warm water and tumble dry on low heat to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the quilted pattern; avoid using bleach, which can degrade the Egyptian cotton fibers.

The Alba coverlet and shams are sold separately. This allows you to mix and match sizes or colors if you prefer, though the shams are designed with a two-inch flange to perfectly complement the coverlet's tailored aesthetic.

While sateen is generally more resistant to wrinkling than percale, cotton is a natural fiber and will show some creasing. You can iron it as needed to maintain a crisp, polished look, but a quick tumble dry on low heat usually keeps it looking smooth.
