Using this waffle weave cotton coverlet set is easy. Just lay the coverlet on your bed and place the pillow shams on your pillows for an instant upgrade to your bedroom's look. During colder months, it'll keep you nice and warm under the covers. In warmer weather, it still provides a light layer that's breathable and comfortable. When it comes to cleaning, remember to use cold water and a gentle cycle in the washing machine. Tumble dry on low to prevent any shrinkage or damage to the fabric. Never use bleach as it can harm the cotton. If the set gets wrinkled, you can iron it on a low setting. And don't forget that the inserts for the pillows are sold separately, so you'll need to buy them if you want that extra fullness in your pillow shams.
