American catalogue companies, do they deliver to the UK?

I am interested in a new duvet set and always love the American ones. Does anyone know if any of their catalogue companies will deliver over here?
TIA

I thought duvets were exotic and expensive in the US so assumed covers would be worse! They have "comforters" which are similar but have printed outers.
Even if they did deliver you would have to pay VAT on them and possibly Import duty too (Tinker will know!)
Is it worth it?

I bought some clothes from an American website, and by the time I paid shipping and Import duty, they were rather more expensive than I could have got here.

As janh correctly says beware of VAT and import duty. Can add up to 30% on your purchase price.

Oh thanks, I did find out that JC Penney will deliver, perhaps I'll look closer to home.
