100% COTTON DUVET COVER - good thing or bad thing?

[ja9]

PLease help answer a query for my mil - she has bought new bedclothes but is having second thoughts...

Will 100% cotton duvet cover crease too much and so look messy after one night in it?

forgot to say please!

It will crease, yep, but if good quality cotton it looks rather nicely rumpled, not ratty, IMO, as long as she shakes it out every morning and smoothes. I loathe anything else - polycotton included. We had really fab Eqyptian cotton bedlinen on our wedding list and I love it, three years on.

A vote here for pure cotton. I find polycotton sweaty and the texture unpleasantly 'cheap' feeling. God, I am such a snob.

My mil wouldn't buy anything but polycotton.

THANK YOU!

Will fwd your thoughts to her...

Cotton much, much better. Can;t answer on the creasing issue as I never notice (and the bed is rarely made anyway)

Abd if you buy good quality then the older it gets the better it will feel.

100% cotton feels nice, even if it's cheap, but only looks uncreased if it's expensive

really expensive high thread count 50-50 polycotton percale feels nice and looks nice, and doesn't bobble ever.

cheap polycotton mings.
