Linen Duvet Cover King Size - Soft Breathable Cotton Linen Blend, 3-Pieces Bedding Set with 2 Pillowcases, Stonewashed Texture, Khaki, All-Season Comfort

Color, Khaki: This one has to be returned. It’s more taupe than khaki, and in my lighting looked like a very washed out green. Blah Awful.Color, Green: It’s more blue than than I hoped. I would call this a gray-eucalyptus color. Not real happy with this color but keeping it anyway. I might look into dyeing it later. This is a washed out teal color, not green. Really disappointed in the colors of both that I bought. Use caution when choosing colors.Size, King: Based on other reviews, I bought a king size for a queen mattress and box springs. I’m certain that a queen would have been much too small. If you want it to drape over the sides of your queen mattress, buy the king. The queen will be too short.Softness: It’s not going to feel like Pima or combed cotton, so forget that. This definitely looks like linen, which was why I wanted it, but it’s not as fussy as linen can be when it’s new.Here’s how to get any fabric as soft as it can be, including breaking in new sheets, towels, etc.**Never** use commercial fabric softeners. They will eventually destroy your fabrics by coating the fibers in an oily chemical that breaks them down and cuts short the life of all fabrics.Instead, use distilled white vinegar in the final rinse of your wash. Anywhere from 1/4 to a full cup depending on size of your washer, size of the load, and preference. Vinegar sanitizes the fabric, gets rid of lingering odors, conditions the fabric fibers, and removes residues from the fibers that make them feel rough and scratchy. All of your machine washables will perform and last longer when you give them a bit of vinegar in the final rinse.For the FIRST wash: Use 1 to 1.5 cup of baking soda in the wash cycle and stop the machine before it drains so that the duvet cover is soaking in the baking soda-detergent water. I let mine soak for a few hours like this in the first wash. Baking soda, like vinegar, breaks down the chemicals that manufacturers put on products to make them look pretty, resist wrinkling, and handle better. Since these chemicals don’t feel good on your skin and probably aren't healthy, use baking soda in the wash cycle.**Use delicate or gentle cycle and wash in cold water.When you let the wash cycle finish and your machine goes into the final rinse, use vinegar. Do not add vinegar to the wash cycle with the baking soda—vinegar is acidic, baking soda alkaline, so they’ll cancel each other out if you try to use them at the same time. Instead, use vinegar in the final rinse. I also double rinse most of my wash, adding vinegar to the last rinse cycle.For the FIRST wash with this duvet, I used about 3/4 gallon (yes, gallon—first wash only) of vinegar in the final rinse, and I turned off the machine so that the duvet cover was soaking in the vinegar + water. Because so many reviews mentioned this duvet cover being scratchy, I let this soak overnight.I let it line dry on a rack for a couple hours with a fan on it. Then I put it in the dryer on LOW heat for 15 minutes with four wool dryer balls. That’s really the best you can do for all fabrics. If you continue to treat it properly and launder it once a week, it should wear well and become softer over time, and it won’t fill up a lint catcher with lint (which is really just your fabric breaking down). You don’t need to use heat to dry it to get it as soft as possible if you follow these directions.I would not say the duvet cover is soft like Pima cotton or well worn linen (which gets softer with every wash), but neither would I call it scratchy.Sheets and a duvet cover like this get properly sanitized and as soft as they can be with this method. (I don’t always use baking soda after a first wash, but I do use vinegar in every rinse.) It works. And no, it will NOT smell like vinegar. If you want to add a scent, sprinkle your wool dryer balls with essential oils. I usually use lavender for bedding.If you want it more strongly scented, you will not hurt the fabric by misting it with a mixture of about 8 ounces of water/witch hazel + 10-ish drops of essential oils.Fabric quality: I think it has a “nice hand.” It’s got plenty of body, not like a set of sheets sewn together to make a cover for a duvet. It looks like a comforter, not like sheets. It looks almost like a light weight denim, which means it looks like linen. Is it 15% linen? I don’t know, but it’s not really important because even if it is, that 15% linen isn’t going to make any real difference. Your consolation prize is that linen takes a much longer time, many more wash cycles, to become truly soft. Since this is basically a woven cotton, using an overnight vinegar rinse for the first wash, followed by line drying and then conditioning with the wool dryer balls on either low heat or no heat, it will be much softer from the start than new linen.The zipper on mine is intact after the first wash. I hope it stays that way, because it does seem to be a problem with this particular duvet cover.I have a set of 100% linen sheets, this duvet cover, and a very light weight comforter and it’s nice and warm on cold nights. I even leave the window open when the temperature will dip into the 30s, and this duvet cover, plus the linen sheets provide plenty of heat. I thought I was going to need to buy a new down comforter, but after using this for the last week, I think I’d be too warm with a down comforter.,Strong points:it’s a pretty fabric with a nice feel to it. Looks like a comforter rather than sheets (like too many duvet covers do). It provides plenty of warmth. I’ve only had it for about a week, but I think the fabric should last with proper care. The zipper—so far—is okay, but I’m expecting it to break eventually. That trade-off was one I willing to make for the look and feel of this fabric.Things that could be better:I do wish it was a true green, but I can live with this, I think. (After three weeks: I can’t stand the color. It’s teal, not green, and in low light, it looks blue. Not what I was looking for) The size seems small but I’ve not yet measured it. For a queen bed, I know the queen would have been too small for my needs.All said, I’m happy with this duvet cover so far—except for the color. It’s so bad that I ordered another order one in khaki but tgat was more gray-taupe than khaki, so that one is going back. I don’t think you can trust the photos of the colors based on my experience.No, it is NOT a comforter, so if that’s what you want, either look at comforters or look for a duvet. This is a duvet cover. It’s like a bedspread that you can put a comforter inside of if you want to. You can use a down comforter inside this, but that would be too warm for me—you might feel differently. Try this out before you buy a heavy comforter.

I love the green! I needed a green color for our guest room in our new build house and this was the perfect shade. To my surprise I found a family quilt made in 1860 in a random box I was unpacking and it goes pretty good with the duvet cover. The bed is a full size and the duvet is a king. I wanted it to hang over and I also purchased two duvet inserts to give it body.

I really like this duvet cover. However, after washing (there was minimal shrinkage, but still some) and with today's deeper mattresses, the queen size I purchased looks too small for my queen bed. So, I'm returning it and getting a king size for my queen bed. I love the color and the texture.

I love the color of this bedding. Very pretty and neutral which goes great with our white sheets we already had on. 3 stars though because for the amount we paid for this I would I expect it to be a little softer. My husband came home from out of town and that was his first comment on it as well. The level of softness is definitely something to consider when ordering.

My husband and I are always fighting over the covers, so I ordered the California King cover for our standard King size duvet to ensure there would be plenty to go around. Washed the cover once, and when we laid it out, it was 12" shorter than the duvet in each direction! Was I sent a queen size cover by mistake?Other than the size, we love this cover. It's soft and has a beautiful color and texture.

I LOVE this duvet cover! I have washed it twice and it get softer but does not fade in color. I live the weave on this duvet cover. The ties on one corner did shrivel up after the first wash but I just sewn new ones on it. The king covered my king duvet perfectly. I will be purchasing another one fir my son!

Very simple and comfy. I recommend it.

I was concerned that a cotton linen blend would be really wrinkled all the time. I've been pleasantly surprised that is not the case. I did do the prep work of ironing it first which took some time with a king size but it was worth it. I got the teal/turquoise color and it is really beautiful. Love that it came with matching shams. I also love the hidden zipper instead of buttons. This was a first class purchase.

Love, love, LOVE this duvet cover.If cozy and comfortable with a clean modern feel is what you want you cannot go wrong with this!

Not the quality I was expected for that price. The material isn't soft and comfy and it shrink! Cheap stuff infortunatly ! :(

extremely rough, not soft at all. also had to pay 30$ just to return it
