This guide to buying bedding would not be possible for us , while scrolling through Instagram, the profile of the brand The Zorya , which offers sheets, blankets and pillows, individually and hand-cut and sewn, did not catch the eye in Serbia. The dedication and love for their work of the founders of this brand, Olja Hrustić and Dušanka Petrović, were the reason why we wanted to find out as much as possible about what they do – about bedding.
– Idea for Zoryu was created a long time ago, because we have always enjoyed creating beautiful things for the home, architecture, design, interior design – Olja revealed to us. – Also, we love textiles and all those tangible things that, in addition to the visual, can also be enjoyed sensually. Things that contribute to the quality of life.
– Perfection and details are our number one priority. We use the highest quality types of Egyptian giz cotton and European linen, and the handmade and individual production of our bedding is flawless, patient, with a lot of attention paid to quality, design and every millimeter.
We asked Olja what we need to pay attention to when buying bedding.
Remember these five items because they will save you time and money the next time you renew sheets, pillows and blankets.
Bedding Guide
# 1 Follow your feelings
– When choosing bedding, I first follow my feelings – reveals Olja. – Do I like it when I look at it and feel it under my arm. Does some color or pattern make me happy or calm? Do I like the texture of the fabric. We sleep and dream in bedding, the mind rests, and the body should be pleasant and comfortable.
# 2 Pay attention to the material
The choice of material is very important . It is recommended to choose 100% natural materials, such as cotton, linen, silk, tencel. They are light, airy, warm in winter and cool in summer. However, Olja emphasizes:
– There are huge differences in quality among natural materials, depending on the origin, cultivation, weaving, etc. But I think the quality is easy to recognize.
# 3 Check what is making
We spend almost a third of our lives sleeping, so it’s important to invest in quality that lasts.
– Finely (flawlessly) sewn bedding lasts for years and even decades – explains Olja, and gives one very practical piece of advice: – If not you like ironing, maybe choose linen or washed cotton, because their taste is in a slightly crumpled look.
# 4 Make sure it fits in with the interior design
– I would always advise you to choose bedding that fits into the interiors of the bedroom – says Olja.
After all, new bedding – different colors and patterns from those on which you are used to, is probably the easiest and simplest way to make a change in your interior.
# 5 M ogu the ability to return the bedding if it does not suit us
This is a very important item, because the price of bed linen is not negligible, so it is quite certain that we want to be satisfied with the money invested. We asked Olja what their practice is when it comes to refunds. – If for any reason the ordered Zorya bedding does not suit you and if it is unused, you can return it to within fourteen days. For the territory of Serbia, we offer free delivery to and from you.
– In November, we are opening an exhibition salon in Dorcol, so you are welcome to visit us and see and feel our bedding live, and soon other fabrics for the home.
Recommendations for bedding maintenance
Wash it at a temperature of up to 40% (this is a high enough temperature to kill bacteria and not destroy the fibers of natural materials).
- Dry it naturally or, in the case of machine drying, at a low temperature .
- Use the natural detergents that are now available more and more in our market, and we can make them ourselves.
- Do not use fabric softener (quality natural materials naturally become softer during use). For a nice scent, you can drip essential oils directly on the bedding.
- Do not use bleach as it destroys the materials. In summer, the sun is the best fabric bleach.
