Where do I find wonderfully soft duvet covers?

[Canwejustrelaxnow]

Hi. I usually just buy duvet covers with nice designs that are on the cheap side. I'm starting to find them a bit rough on my skin and am looking for some nice soft cotton. What is it that I need to look for? Do they have to be extortionate?

I like the linen range from H&M. they feel really luxurious

Soak and sleep...but they have annoying tie things at the bottom!!

If it’s your thing (it is definitely my thing) John Lewis do good flanellette/brushed cotton duvet covers.

I have House of Fraser ones in egyptian cotton.

The higher the thread count the softer, though brushed cotton is a soft cheaper option.

Yes 100% cotton is the way to go. The higher the thread count, the better quality.

Anything with polyester will be rough on the skin.

La Redoute!

Got a couple of gorgeous ones from amazon.

Brushed cotton is very soft, but very warm. I've just put our winter brushed cotton cover to the back of the cupboard to stop DH putting it back on the bed!

Linen is soft. 100% cotton is always better than poly-blends.

My best cotton set is from Asda of all places!!

I have some linen bedding that I absolutely adore. It’s lovely and soft and is lovely when ironed (despite the fact that they market it as “fashionable” not to iron it). I also have some super high thread count Egyptian cotton stuff from John Lewis which I love but DH says is too “cold” feeling for him.

Thank you! So will anything 100% cotton feel soft? What sort of thread count would be soft?

I second the Asda 100% cotton ones, they're lovely

I got some amazing ones from TKMAXX online.

Another vote for Asda here. Their percale ones are lovely and very reasonably priced.

I have some very expensive ones and honestly think the Asda ones are as good, if not better (I daren't tell DH that though! )

ive always found the more you wash (cotton) the softer they feel

I've got some Asda ones which are rubbish. I have one White company one which is as soft as anything & one which is crunchy. Wish I could justify buying more, I love bed linen!

The Asda set I bought for DD (at her insistance) was ok for a while but the popper studs were useless and wouldn't fasten after a few washes

The best ones we have had have been from BHS ( still using these after many years and they have got softer and softer) and M and S

I found a lovely 100% cotton set in Matalan, it was reduced to £20 in the sale for king size, it’s getting softer with each wash, it’s lovely. Never bought bedding from there before but that set is my favourite now

I quite like the Sainsburys sets. Always wash them using fabric softener (and iron if I can be bothered!). Cath Kidston are lovely if you like that style and White Company is a good investment.

Habitat ‘Washed’ cotton. Lovely colours. And they’ve got a sale on atm.

After years of trying different bedding the best is from King of Cotton.

Egyptian cotton boutique 400 thread count. Pricey but worth every penny. They normally have special offers on a Friday.

Be careful with the depth for fitted sheets. I use the large fitted sheet although there is a shallower one and deep fitted available.

Wash wise I always use Daz powder, soda crystals on 60c.

Dries very quickly and is a dream to sleep under.
