Superior 650 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set, Gold, Full/ Queen

I LOVE THESE SHEETS, I have bought numerous sets in different colors.Purple still remains my favorite!Fantastic to sleep on...very warm....nice deep mattress pockets...would buy again!VERY CUTE TOO! I always get compliments on them! Very rich colors...

Very sturdy, heavy and well-made duvet cover. Some people prefer flimsy softness but I like thick, substantial sheets and comforters like these. The shipment weighs 8 lbs, so you are paying for a lot of extra cotton content. If this set were made by a big name brand company it would be 3 times the price.

I ordered this duvet cover with accompanying pillow covers to help protect my majorly fave Laura Ashley comforter from too much more wear and tear, too frequent trips through the washer and dryer.The cotton fabric is a tight satiny weave with a shimmery finish. I realize the concept is to protect the duvet or comforter or whatever you've buttoned into the envelope cover, thus the densely woven fabric that won't let a speck of anything get through to whatever's underneath. This duvet cover is very VERY heavy to lift and adds an uncomfortable amount of weight to the piece (quilt, duvet, comforter) it encloses. In short, despite its high quality, the extra weight makes it not the best choice for the purpose I intended. It would be best for me to stitch three sides of a couple of sheets together and add snaps or buttons to the fourth side.The ' Taupe' color is a rich, very slightly reddish brown that reminds me of hot chocolate or cocoa, or maybe a blended coffee drink. Upon googling taupe I discovered many different tans and browns answer to ' taupe.' A Pantone chart had 18 different taupes, with some very red, some golden tan, brownish gray, mid-tan.

I seldom write reviews. In the past month, I've purchased two duvet covers from Superior. These are the best duvet covers I've owned. I appreciate that the weight is listed with their products. The duvets have a high thread count and feel very substantial though are not heavy. They wash up beautifully and are wrinkle resistant when removed promptly from the dryer. The colors are rich (I purchased gold and ivory) which gives the bed a feeling of luxury. I'm very pleased with Superior duvet covers and highly recommend this product.

Two complaints: 1) it's not quite long enough for my king size bed and 2) there are no tabs/ties for use as a duvet. It's soft, it's fluffy without being super heavy or hot, and it washes well. I had to use safety pins for use in my duvet cover, but overall I'm ok with it for the price.
