Why the French Make Their Beds Differently

French beds use a duvet and two square European pillows, no top sheet, no decorative pillows. The bed is made in under 60 seconds. Shake the duvet, smooth it, place the pillows. Done. Elegant simplicity.

Replace your current pillow arrangement with two 26x26 European square pillows in white linen cases. Use a single duvet cover in a neutral tone. Make your bed tomorrow in one minute flat.

Our Recommendation

Stonewashed linen duvet cover in natural flax. Gets softer with every wash. The slightly rumpled texture is the entire French bedroom aesthetic.
