Frequently Asked Questions
1. Returns and Exchanges
We're committed to your satisfaction and believe you should love every product you purchase from us. That's why we provide a 100-day sleep trial for our bedding products. Try any product for up to 100 days, and if you're not completely happy, you can return it. However, please note the following:
- We ask that items be in a condition suitable for donation—free from stains, tears, and odours—to qualify for a return. We'll even handle the return shipping costs for you.
- If you return an item from an initial order, you won't be eligible for additional trial periods for the same product type in future orders. For example, if you return a pillow, any subsequent pillow purchases won't have a trial period.
- There is a limit of one return per product type, per customer or shipping address. This helps us reduce waste and ensure that our products are a good fit before you make a larger commitment.
- In the case of promotional items, such as a "Buy One, Get One Free" offer, if you decide to return the purchased item that qualified for the promotion, the free promotional item must also be returned. For instance, if you received a free pillow through such an offer, it must be returned along with the purchased pillow if you choose to make a return.
If you need to cancel or make changes to your order, please reach out immediately via chat or email us at support@amqua.com. We work quickly to dispatch orders, so while we'll try our best to accommodate your request, we can't guarantee changes once an order is placed. If we can't make the requested change, you'll need to accept delivery and then return the item. Please give us at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Refunds are issued once we receive and inspect the returned items at our warehouse.
We will process your refund within 7 days of receiving and inspecting the returned item. After processing, please allow an additional 3-5 business days for the refund to reflect with your payment provider.

Unlike many other brands, we opt not to use chemicals for permanent wrinkle resistance in our bed linen. As a natural characteristic of 100% cotton, our bed linen does exhibit some wrinkling. However, our use of superior-quality, extra-long staple Egyptian cotton means it wrinkles less than other cotton varieties. Moreover, you'll notice the fabric wrinkles less over time with each wash and extended use. To minimize significant creasing, we suggest avoiding tumble drying. If you do use a dryer, we recommend taking the bed linen out 5 minutes before the cycle ends and laying it flat to finish drying, ensuring a smoother finish.
Our products are of the highest quality. All of our products are handmade in Portugal by master artisans.

8. Egyptian Cotton and certifications
Our bedding products proudly hold two esteemed certifications. Firstly, they are certified by the Cotton Egypt Association™ (CEA) for authentic use of 100% Egyptian cotton, ensuring the highest quality and purity. Secondly, our products meet the stringent standards set by OEKO-TEX®, certifying that they are free from harmful chemicals and safe for use, offering you peace of mind regarding health and environmental safety.
Egyptian cotton, particularly the Giza variety, is renowned worldwide for its extraordinary qualities. Grown in Egypt's unique climate, it develops longer fibers, leading to greater durability, quality, and softness. This cotton is exceptionally soft, breathable making it the ideal choice for sophisticated and elegant bedding.
Egyptian cotton is handpicked, ensuring that the fibers remain exquisitely soft and strong. This delicate process results in a cotton that not only lasts but also maintains its plush softness over years of use.
Yes, Egyptian cotton sheets are hypoallergenic and suitable for allergy sufferers, as they are made from natural fibers that repel allergens.
Egyptian cotton boasts superior absorbency, allowing it to hold dyes better than other cottons. This means the colors stay vibrant and resist fading, even after multiple washes, making Egyptian cotton bedding a lasting choice for bold and elegant designs.
Choosing Egyptian cotton bedding means opting for a material that offers enduring quality, vibrant colors, and extraordinary softness. Its fine yarn allows for higher, more luxurious thread counts, ensuring that the sheets remain strong and soft through repeated washings. It's a versatile material perfect for high-quality bedding that ensures a comfortable sleep night after night.
To spot fake Egyptian cotton bedding, one key indicator is the absence of certification from the Cotton Egypt Association™ (CEA). Authentic Egyptian cotton bedding will typically carry this certification, which assures that the product is made from genuine 100% Egyptian cotton. Here are some tips to identify authentic Egyptian cotton bedding:
- Look for the CEA Certification: Check the product for a Cotton Egypt Association™ certification. This is a reliable way to confirm the authenticity of Egyptian cotton. If this certification is missing, the bedding is more likely to be fake.
- Check the Label: Authentic Egyptian cotton bedding will often have labels stating its origin. If the label does not mention "Egyptian cotton" or seems vague about the source, it might be a fake.
- Feel the Texture: Genuine Egyptian cotton is known for its softness, which increases with washing. If the bedding feels rough or gets rough after washing, it may not be authentic
- Be Wary of Low Prices: If the price seems too good to be true for products labeled as Egyptian cotton, it might be an indication of a counterfeit product. Egyptian cotton is typically more expensive due to its high quality.
