Why New Comforters Often Have Wrinkles
New comforters, especially silk-lined or silk-filled ones like SmartSilk’s, often arrive folded or compressed in packaging. Shipping, storage, and folding can leave creases or wrinkles that make the comforter look less inviting and feel uneven when you sleep.
Removing these wrinkles safely ensures your comforter looks fresh, feels soft, and maintains proper loft and support.
3 Simple Ways to Remove Wrinkles from a New Comforter
- Shake and Fluff the Comforter: Remove the comforter from packaging and give it a good shake and fluff to redistribute the silk fill and reduce minor wrinkles. Hang it over a clean surface or your bed and gently pat out folds.
- Use Low Heat in the Dryer: Place the comforter in the dryer with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the filling and smooth creases. Use a low-heat or air-fluff cycle for 10–15 minutes. Avoid high heat, which can damage silk fibers and reduce longevity.
- Air It Out or Steam: Hanging your comforter in a warm, ventilated room can help wrinkles relax naturally. For stubborn creases, use a handheld steamer held at a safe distance. Avoid direct ironing, which may scorch silk or cotton fibers.

Extra Tips for Smooth, Wrinkle-Free Bedding
- Use a duvet cover: Helps prevent new wrinkles and keeps your comforter clean.
- Store properly: Fold or roll gently when storing to avoid sharp creases.
- Regular fluffing: Shake and fluff your comforter daily or weekly to maintain loft and smoothness.
- Avoid harsh heat: Silk fibers are delicate — high-heat dryers or direct ironing can damage your comforter.
