At $100-200 you are absolutely sacrificing quality, just so you know. This industry is one where it’s true that you have to spend to get serious quality. However, what you want is a cotton cover with a sateen weave to give you the most softness. Stick to long or extra long staple cotton if you can find it. If it’s woven in Italy or Portugal that’s a good sign as they typically do the best. If it’s constructed in a western country (USA, Canada, Italy etc) that’s good too, though some quality brands still use places like the Philippines so don’t let that be a deciding factor. Frette, Sferra, Matouk, St. Geneve, and Schlossberg make some of the best in the world and they offer products at different price points. All of the brands I mentioned can be purchased for 10-15% discounts on websites like FineLinens.com I also know Bloomingdale’s and Linen supply are having 20-25% off deals and most places price match. I personally use Sferra. IF you want to buy a St. Geneve product, buy from a Canadian retailer like these to save money since their currency is worth less than ours. https://www.tmasc.ca/collections/duvet-covers-bedding-sets-canada All other brands should be purchased from America. The more you spend the nicer it will be. Two lower budget brands that I’ve heard offer decent quality are malouf which offers a Supima collection that’s supposed to be soft, or peacock alley. Hope you find what you’re looking for! More on reddit.com

Apt 9 is no longer a brand. We phased that out for home years ago and are currently phasing it out on men’s. That comforter is on clearance so it’s highly unlikely that any store still has that. A lot of times things are still listed on the website that we don’t sell anymore. More on reddit.com
