Italian 800 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover Set, Queen, White Solid, Premium Italian Finish

I was looking for a pretty duvet for my down cover. I didn't want something so boring but I wanted white, So this being "egyptian cotton" i got it anyway. I opened it and wish I didn't get it:( its not worth $80. Its definitely soft, but it being plain you see EVERYTHING on it. Lint, hair, strings, ANYTHING. I purchased a pleated duvet from IKEA that is much prettier, but not as soft.. I'm not sleeping over the duvet anyway!! So if you are going for something very soft and plain, this is for you!

Not sure it's quite like the picture, but then what is these days? I have a silk filled comforter...I just wanted to protect it, as to not have to spend 300 again for that. So it does it's job...im not a thread expert by any means...so I cant comment on that...but the texture is soft...softer after first wash...I did dry it in the dryer and it held up...no missing buttons after 3 or 4 washes...which for a guy...is like 3 months, for a gal 3 weeks. I'D BUY IT AGAIN WITH YOUR MONEY OR MINE

I ordered one duvet a month ago. I liked the duvet and decided to order another one. To my surprise, I received a different product this time. The quality of this duvet does not like 1200 thread count. It might be OK to use, but I start to question their services and honesty now.

The duvets arrived on time and were packaged well. They had an odor to them so I washed them and they were fine. the quality is good but I don't think it lives up to it rave reviews and cost..

I initially purchased this duvet set believing that this would be of a superior quality 1200 thread count set. However, upon receiving the set, I realized the quality was even worse (rougher and thinner) than my 200 thread count set, and so I decided to do a little research on my own.Thread count is a technical term that stands for the number of threads woven together in a square inch. For example, 100 lengthwise threads woven with 100 widthwise threads produce a thread count of 200. Usually, anything above 200 thread counts is considered a better quality product.According to Consumer Reports, a thread count of 200 is fine; 400 may be softer. But counts such as 800 or 1200 are not quite possible. When a manufacturer claims a super high thread count, such as 1200 thread count (that is, fitting 1200 threads together within 1 square inch), they count not just each thread, but each fiber that make up each thread. Using creative counting methods, a 200 thread count set suddenly becomes a 1200 thread count set. This is technically illegal, since thread count in the US must follow strict federal standards. In fact, Bed, Bath & Beyond was investigated by the Federal Trade Commission for misrepresenting thread count and eventually settled the lawsuit in 2008 by offering refunds to customers.Back to this particular item. This set is certainly not 1200 thread count and probably just barely under 200 thread count since it's even rougher than my set from IKEA. The set has no labels or care instructions. Therefore, the item probably wasn't properly imported into the US. Hope this review helps.

Surprisingly nice, pleasantly surprised at fine quality of the all cotton fabric, also the construction overall. Seriously thinking of buying 1-2 more to have on hand. It is sturdy and very lightweight at the same time, which is important if you don't want to squash your down comforter, which needs the loft to retain the heat. I hope they sell bed skirts - that's my next wish list item!

I bought the duvet cover after reading all the great reviews, it arrived quickly and the cover looked nice in the package--except that it looked completely different from the one shown in picture (patterned rather than solid white), and right out of the bag it had the strange 'powdery' feeling to it that usually indicates a cheap sheet/cover. I thought the problem would be gone after washing but it got worse, the powdery feeling was still there and it also became very rough and scratchy, which made me doubt if it was really made from egyptian cotton. Does not worth $70.

After reading reviews I figured I would go ahead and enjoy a duvet that was reasonably soft and put together looking for a great price, and that is exactly what I am doing. I am very happy with the product because of the price point and it looks great, feels great and is easy to wash and make the bed.
