Superior 650 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set, Black, King/ Cal King

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.

This is the second round of sheets/duvet covers I've bought from this company. Clearly I love them or I wouldn't have come back. I'm such a texture fiend and I love how soft these products feel and how they're able to keep me cool at night. I will note the duvet color is the slightest bit different in its shade of white compared to the pillows cases, but I doubt anyone else would notice as my job is noticing slight nuances between colors. Hopefully these will last, definitely worth the investment.

The fitted sheet has started to pill after 2-3 weeks of use.These sheets seemed very good at first. They aren't super soft, but they have a nice heavy weight and I imagined they'd get softer with use, and they have started to get softer after a few weeks and a couple washes. They are a bit shiny, which I don't like. Unfortunately, the fitted sheet is already pilling. i'll be returning.
