Opinions are divided when it comes to seersucker bedding—you either love it or you don’t. For seersucker enthusiasts, this reversible bedding is perfect. It’s woven from soft certified organic cotton (with a 20% recycled cotton content), yet has a sturdy, firm texture due to its weave. This is thanks to the characteristic waves that run through the fabric as stripes, giving it its textured surface. Because of this texture, the fabric doesn’t lie flat against the skin but rests lightly, allowing air to circulate between the skin and the fabric so that heat and moisture can escape. Ideal for summer.

How are these crinkled stripes created in seersucker fabric? On the loom, two groups of warp threads are used with different tensions—one tight, the other loose. After weaving and an initial wash, the tension is released; the looser threads ripple, creating stripes with varying textures—smooth and crinkled—which result in the fabric’s characteristic structure. The name “seersucker” alludes to these contrasting textures: It is derived from the Persian “shir-o-shakhar,” which means “milk and sugar” and stands for smooth and rough. That’s exactly how the seersucker fabric of this cover feels: soft yet firm and textured at the same time. Another unbeatable advantage of this dimensionally stable, crinkled fabric: ironing is unnecessary, because the lively texture cannot be tamed—and, as a defining characteristic, it doesn’t want to be.

The color scheme often mirrors the woven striped pattern: Seersucker bedding is usually striped. Our seersucker pillowcases are also striped, but each side features different colors: one side is mint green and white, while the other is blue and white. This reversible bedding lets you create two different color accents in your bedroom.
