Instantly upgrade your bedroom with our NEW matelass\u00e9 collections<\/strong><\/h2>\n

They say you shouldn’t live in the past and we tend to agree. But after five decades of providing luxurious ways for people to refresh and reinvent their bedrooms, we know that sometimes to take that crucial step forward, it helps to take a look back. Like for instance, at an incredible early 18 century weaving technique. If you’ve been craving a more modern approach to your bedding or just want to mix things up and shake off the d\u00e9cor rust of 2020, our new (and classic) matelass\u00e9 bedding collections might be just what you need.<\/p>\n

Sometimes referred to as Marseilles cloth, matelass\u00e9 is believed to have originated from Marseilles, France. And since the French word matelasser<\/i> means \u201cto quilt\u201d, you’ll get no arguments here. A thicker, more substantial fabric, matelass\u00e9 is renowned for providing a distinctive, quilted appearance without the same bulk as your standard heavy quilt. It’s this beautiful balance of weight and warmth that make matelass\u00e9 one of the favorite ways to replace heavy down comforters when temps call for it.<\/p>\n

But over the years, matelass\u00e9 became known for even more than its lightweight comforts. With a gorgeous textured appearance, simplified color combinations and clean contemporary lines, matelass\u00e9 bedding became one of the easiest ways to modernize your bedroom d\u00e9cor\u2014without losing its classical appeal\u2014or having to break the bank.<\/p>\n

Modern interiors are often centered around clean lines, subtle designs and lighter fabrics so matelass\u00e9 is a perfect match. With its neutral tones and striking yet subdued patterns, adding this layer of refinement helps create a contemporary flow style that feels modern and freeing, but also warm and welcoming, like home should always feel. This is why matelass\u00e9 has been used in bedding, upholstery, curtains and many other applications for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n

Like most weaves back then, matelass\u00e9 was handmade, but with the introduction of the Jacquard loom in 1801, it became more of a manufactured fabric\u2014but not for everyone. At Schweitzer Linen, we still make most of our matelass\u00e9 bedding, using the same painstaking processes and patient attention to detail that made this weave such a sensation. This not only gives our matelass\u00e9 shams and blanket covers a custom-like look you won’t find anywhere else, it ensures they’ll last a long time.<\/p>\n

If you crave a modern look that will give your bedroom the upgrade it sorely needs, but also appreciate the reverence to heritage-quality craftsmanship, exceptional durability, and inspiring designs, you’ll definitely want to check out our best-selling matelass\u00e9 shams and blanket covers.<\/p>\n
