Where to buy 100% cotton duvet covers suitable for 18yo boy?

I need a couple of duvet covers for my son who is going off to uni. Ideally I want 100% cotton (as he has eczema) and not too pricey. The M&S ones are a bit uncool for an 18yo boy. I'm trawling a few other sites, but any recommendations of where to look would be appreciated!

Dunelm have some nice ones more suited to his age. I saw a grey/black/white striped one there not long ago which was 100% cotton.

It’s a duvet cover. Just get a plain colour like navy or olive green

I would go with plain colours so I'm sending you back to M&S for those!

Asda do nice plain coloured cotton duvet sets.

Dun Elm do Egyptian cotton bedding. It is lovely and remains cool so probably good for Excema plus you can boil wash it which is also good for excema.

Choose a dark colour, students don't do much washing!

John Lewis? Sainsburys? I'd just get a plain cover. Not really sure what an 18 year old would consider a 'cool duvet cover'

rizeabuv · 11/09/2022 20:40

Plain would be fine if I could get one.
John Lewis only does kids bedding in 100% cotton - Minecraft/Playstation etc - so no good. 🙄
The Sainsbury's/Argos covers are 50% polyester.

I'll check out Dunelm next ...

Can't he take whatever is on his bed now?

SkygardenTower · 11/09/2022 20:53

ikea have lots of 100% cotton duvet covers.

thenightsky · 11/09/2022 20:53

Have a look on line at brand alley.

Snowiscold · 11/09/2022 20:54

IKEA has lots.

HighlandCowbag · 11/09/2022 20:54

Next do an Egyptian cotton range, Ive got an Olive one on my bed, or a greeny one anyway possibly sage? And ds has a navy one.

sunglassesonthetable · 11/09/2022 20:59

H&M are great! And Dunelm and Next do good plain colour ones.

CurlsLDN · 11/09/2022 20:59

Another vote for IKEA, I only buy from them now, they are lovely, lots of 100% cotton.

Would his skin tolerate lyocell? It's another plant fibre, IKEA do some in that and it feels amazing, really crisp and cool.

ManxRhyme · 11/09/2022 21:05

Ikea again. Really well priced for cotton bedding.

SilverGlassHare · 11/09/2022 21:05

I think you need to look again at John Lewis: Plain cotton bedding

Sluj · 11/09/2022 21:12

He's 18, he should have an adult duvet cover. Maybe avoid flowers but there are plenty of plain ones or ones with stripes/ geometric patterns

Asda do nice plain coloured cotton duvet sets.

Thanks for the Asda suggestion..They had a bedding set that was 30% Tencel/100% cotton which is good for Eczema, and it was in the sale too!
