Frette Discount Codes

Frette codes go into the promo code box in your shopping bag, not at the payment step. Open the bag, click "Add promo code", type the code and press Submit, and the bag total updates before you head to checkout. If the bag replies "Coupon cannot be added to your cart", the code has usually ended, belongs to another Frette store such as the US site, or doesn't cover the items you've chosen.

Codes from Frette come and go, so these are the more reliable ways to spend less:

• Keep the order full price for free delivery. Orders of full price items ship to the UK free with DHL Express, so the shipping line drops to nothing in the order summary.
• Sort the gift shop by price. Choose "Price Low To High" in the gift shop to start with towels and smaller bath pieces before the bedding sets.
• Opt in to offers when you join the newsletter. The sign up form asks separately whether you want special offers and promotions by email, so tick yes if you want to hear about them.
• Check the size and weave before you buy. Returns are at your own cost, so read the dimensions in centimetres and the fabric (percale, poplin or sateen) on the product page first.

UK orders are sent from Frette's European warehouse by DHL Express, and orders of full price items ship free. Orders are usually prepared within 2 to 7 working days, depending on stock, and you get an email with the DHL tracking link as soon as the parcel leaves. Frette's shipping terms point out that for deliveries outside the EU, which includes the UK, the shipping charge doesn't cover any duties or taxes, and these are paid by the person receiving the parcel, so check the checkout total and any carrier message before you pay.

At checkout you can pay by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB or PayPal, with prices shown in pounds.

You can cancel your order within 30 days of receiving it without giving a reason. Tell Frette first, either with the return form on the website or by email to customer service, then send the items back within 14 days to its warehouse in Trezzo sull'Adda, near Milan. You pay the cost of sending them back. Items need to be unused and unwashed, ideally in their original packaging, and anything made to order or personalised with a monogram can't be returned. Frette refunds within 14 days to the payment method you used, and online exchanges are only possible for the same item at the same price.

Frette describes its sheets by weave, and the weave decides how the bed feels far more than the colour does. It is worth settling on one before you compare designs.

Percale is the crisp option, and Frette sells it in ranges such as Crispy Percale.

Poplin sits between percale and sateen. Frette uses pure cotton poplin for sets such as Triplo Bourdon, which it describes as soft and smooth with a high shine, finished with three lines of embroidery.

Sateen is the smoothest of the three. The Ultimate Sheet Set is made from it in plain finishes, so it works under a patterned duvet cover or throw.

Each product page lists the dimensions in both centimetres and inches, sheets and shams included, so measure your mattress and pillows and compare the numbers rather than going by the size name alone.

Many towels, bath sheets and robes have a "Personalize with Monogram" button on the product page, and the Monogram Shop collects them in one place. A monogram makes a good gift, but personalised pieces can't be returned, so check the spelling before you order. If you'd rather choose in person, the boutique on South Audley Street in London lets you see the fabrics side by side.

If you're comparing bedding before you commit, Soak & Sleep sells cotton bed linen in a range of weaves, and The Fine Bedding Company is worth a look for duvets and pillows to go underneath. For a fuller look at the bedroom, OKA covers furniture and soft furnishings too.

You'll find more home brands with current offers in our homeware vouchers, and our gifts and occasions page helps if you're buying Frette towels or a robe as a present.
