I just bought a 400 thread count, single ply, 100% Egyptian cotton duvet cover for about £30. Bang for buck that seems like the best I could find. After some research, that's what I concluded to be the best but I've found people on this sub to be more knowledgeable than me on the subject. Did I make a good buy? How much better can it get than that?
I often wake up covered in sweating, despite sleeping with the window open.
With Spring/Summer around the corner, I want some new sheets that will help with breathability.

I am in the process of changing my bedding, and upgrading from a Queen to King. I went down the rabbit hole and got some sheet, mattress, pillow etc. Gosh, it was a very fun
Now I am trying to find a good duvet cover, do you all have recommendations? Budget is around 200-250, willing to spend a little more if the product is really great.
I have a nice down comforter that I would like to get a cover for to help keep it clean. I’m looking for something that doesn’t add a lot of warmth. Will any duvet cover do? What do people recommended
I know this has been asked many times before but frankly every time I think I’ve found a good option, I see tons of negative reviews. My budget is under $200 and I prefer linen or percale, more breathable but soft fabrics.
I think I will stay away from Brooklinen and Quince given all the quality issues I’ve seen.
Hi!
I am looking for the best, cooling, light and crisp duvet cover and something that feels just cozy at the same time… any recommendations???
Hello,
I don’t know much about bedding materials.
Can anyone make a review of the best bedding materials?
For sheets, duvets, mattress covers?
Okay sorry for the long post, but I’ve been trying to find a new comforter or duvet/duvet cover but it’s overwhelming. I’ve read countless Reddit threads. For backstory:
I run veryyyy hot at night due to chronic illness, and sleep much better when I’m cooler. The Midwest summer months are awful for me. However, I love the feel of a big fluffy comforter (as does my partner).
I’ve heard so many different testimonies as to which type of material is the most breathable (linen/cotton/bamboo), and I’m also confused as to if it’d be better to get a comforter, or a duvet and a duvet cover?
I’m leaning towards duvets, as I’ve heard they’re easier to clean (or rather the covers are easier to clean) but don’t know much about the filling materials and what not.
So I guess I’m curious, what would y’all recommend/what have you had good luck with in terms of an outer layer setup/brands you recommend/materials, etc for staying super cool and breezy. I hope this makes sense! TYIA!!
I use a LL Bean percale duvet cover over a Feathered Friends down comfort, and it is LOUD! I sleep hot and roll/move around a lot. Does anyone have suggestions for a quieter and cooler material that is not plastic or synthetic?
Research so far suggests sateen, silk, and bamboo (but I've read bamboo is mostly plastic).
Thank you!
I am going to be upgrading my comforter to another comforter or duvet.
Was thinking it may be worth it to splurge on a nice percale duvet cover and just buying an averaged priced duvet/comforter.
Curious to hear what others think about spending more on the cover rather than the actual duvet/comforter itself...
Looking to upgrade our bedding. We always buy some pretty cheap comforters or duvets and duvet covers and they always seem to get worn out so quickly and become less comfortable.
Looking for the best sheets, best comforter OR duvet + duvet cover.. even pillows thrown in there if someone knows of some really great ones. I get that this kinda stuff can’t really be BIFL and do need to be replaced eventually but I’m looking for something that will last! I’m in Canada by the way so looking for stuff that I can find here or ships here.
Thanks in advance!
Buy linen, it's the closest to BIFL bed sheets and duvet covers get. They can be pricey but linen lasts for a long time and gets nicer each and every wash.
Linoto is a great brand made in upstate NY (though their customer service has been hard to get in touch with), my linoto sheets are holding up really well. Magic linen is another awesome brand made in Eastern Europe.
As for a duvet insert, I have a wool comforter I love, but haven't had it long enough to say it's BIFL or not
I got a duvet and cover from ikea at least 10 years ago and both are still going strong. The cover even has that feeling the old sheets we had in the house felt like. Not thinned out or anything, but a weird nice "broken in" kind of thing I guess.
I prefer to sleep under a comforter all the time but just sweet constantly. Went out and bought a lightweight brooklinen comforter to try, was looking for recommendations on what would be a good duvet cover would be best to keep as cool as possible.
Hi all!
I’m going deep down the rabbit hole of upping my bedding game. I’m just now looking for a duvet cover. After researching between Linen vs Cotton, I think I’m siding with linen, but having troubles with a quality brand. Brands I see highly recommended then start deep diving into unravel bad reviews and stories. I’d say I’m looking for a quality cover with around a $300 budget but definitely flexible.
Brands I’ve looked into:
The Company Store: heard quality may be worse since accquisition
Quince: Heard some of the sheets have had issues with holes early on, but I’m looking for a cover so maybe less of a worry. Also heard about a lot of early shedding
Magic Linen: Seemingly good so far but heard they don’t get as soft after washing?
Bosker: Not a ton of info I’ve found here
If anyone has tested any of these brands or compared them I’m all ears! Also open to any other brands I haven’t looked into yet, thank you!
Hi! I need option of good fresh duvet covers. I live in TEXAS so it gets very hot. I have a great duvet cover but it was my parents’ so its really old and I want a new one.
What do you prefer: Cotton or Linen?
Usually linen is more breathable but most people aren't the biggest fan of how it's not very soft---but it usually has better longevity and breathability than any other material, imo. Cotton is a close second and it usually ends up being the number one option people go for.
What's your general pricerange, though? Let me know and I'll do my best to direct you toward brands that will suit your needs best. Just out of curiosity what is the duvet insert made from? Sometimes if the fill material is too insulating even the most breathable duvet cover won't really help in the long-term.
Get a wool blanket instead. You’ll never be hot again!
I'm looking for a new duvet cover for my down-filled king size duvet insert. My current cover is the softest I've ever felt, but it has a few rips from years of heavy use (college, camping trips etc.).
My top priority is softness that is cost effective. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars but don't want to sacrifice quality either so somewhere around $100-$200 would be ideal. I like solid colors that wash easily and I'm leaning away from linen. There are so many companies with 'great reviews' but it's hard to tell when ordering online. I pull the duvet up to my face when I sleep, so this thing has got to be SOFT :)
Please provide your tried-and-true recommendations. Temperature isn't a huge concern since the insert is down. Thanks!!
I am going to be getting a wool insert and looking for a quality duvet cover... was wondering what is your guys go to? I was looking at the boll and branch but they are pricey. I'd like to be able to afford to get a few so I have some for switching out when doing laundry. With having a service dog that sleeps with me they are needed.
I purchased a "bedsure" duvet cover, oversized king 120x98, on Amazon (yeah I know). It was delivered January 27th. It already has a tear in it. This thing is paper thin. The reviews were good and the review checker in Firefox gave it an A for reliable reviews.
Where's a good place to get quality duvet covers?
EDIT: I'm looking for near buy-it-for-life. I don't mind paying for it, I just need something durable in an oversized king.
A few years back, I fell for Brooklinen’s advertisements and bought some sheets and a duvet cover. I have liked how well the duvet cleans up in the wash and it’s overall feel but the quality is definitely not there (rips in the fabric and tears in the button holes 6 months after buying).
Does anyone have BIFL recommendations for duvet covers that hold up to weekly washes and are made of a cool/cotton material?
I’ve had really good luck with the Company Store’s cotton percale duvet covers. My currently one is just under 5 years old with minimal wear and tear with weekly washing. I’ve had to patch one hole and that’s it.
Gee, i have an IKEA one that is 12 years old and is as bright and vivid as the day I bought it. It has no tears or wear from use, either. YMMV, of course, but for the money, I bought another at IKEA in October.
