It's so nice to sleep under a fresh duvet, but we often wonder how to wash it at home. Will it even fit in my washing machine? And what if the drum is too small? These are important questions, especially if you go for the practical and coverless HappyBed duvet. No worries, we'll explain how big your washing machine needs to be, share some washing tips, and help you enjoy fresh and comfy bedding without any stress.

Can I wash my HappyBed duvet myself?

Yes, for sure! One of the best things about the coverless design of HappyBed is that you can easily wash it at home. But the size of your washing machine really matters. If the drum is too small, your duvet won't have enough space, so it might not get properly clean or could even get damaged. If you avoid that, your duvet will stay fresh and in great shape for much longer.

The minimum drum size for each duvet size

To wash your duvet without any hassle, it's super important that your washing machine is big enough. Check out these guidelines for the minimum drum size for each duvet size:

• 140x200 cm or smaller (single): At least 7 kg drum capacity
• 155x220 cm up to 160x220 cm (comfort size): At least 8 kg drum capacity
• 200x200 cm or bigger (double): At least 9 kg, but preferably 10 kg or more

Why does drum size matter?

The max load of your washing machine decides how much space is in the drum. If it's too full, your comforter won't rinse properly, won't smell as fresh, and could even get damaged. With enough space, the comforter can move around freely, which means it gets cleaned better.

Pro tip: Check your washing machine's drum capacity by googling the brand and model or looking in the manual.

Easy test at home

Not sure if your comforter fits in the washing machine? Try this simple test before you start a wash program:

1. Put the comforter in the drum without forcing it.
2. Make sure there's still enough space to fit your hand on top of the comforter.
3. Does it fit without stuffing and not feel overfilled? Then your washing machine is good to go.

If the comforter is really packed in tight, consider going to a laundromat or dry cleaner to avoid damage.

Which wash program is best for a HappyBed comforter?

Picking the right wash program is key to keeping your HappyBed comforter fluffy and comfy. Follow these tips for the best results:

• Program: Use a delicate or wool wash program. These are gentle and give a soft clean.
• Temperature: Wash at 30°C to protect the materials. Higher temps can cause annoying shrinkage.
• Spin cycle: Pick a low spin cycle or skip it altogether to keep your comforter in shape.
• Detergent: Use a mild, colorless detergent without bleach. Skip the fabric softener, since that can mess with the breathability of the bamboo material.

By washing carefully, you'll make your duvet last longer and enjoy a fresh bed every night. 

What if your washing machine is too small?

No worries! If your washing machine isn't up to the task, there are other ways to keep your HappyBed duvet fresh and clean:

1. Laundromat: Modern laundromats have pro machines with big drums.
2. Dry cleaner: Let a dry cleaner take care of your duvet for a professional and thorough clean.
3. Pickup and laundry services: Often available through supermarkets or special apps. Super handy when you've got a busy schedule.

Why is regular washing so important?

A clean duvet makes a huge difference for a healthy sleep environment. Washing it regularly gets rid of dust, bacteria, dust mites, and sweat, so you sleep fresher and keep allergies at bay. And thanks to HappyBed's coverless design, you'll never have to wrestle with loose covers or shifting filling again.

Summary of the most important tips:

• Check your washing machine's drum capacity (at least 7-10 kg depending on the duvet size).
• Use a delicate cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent.
• Dry it in a spacious dryer on low heat and let the duvet air dry afterwards.
• Is your machine too small? Just use a laundromat, dry cleaner, or laundry service.

Follow these steps to keep your HappyBed duvet fresh, soft, and super comfy wash after wash.
