This is the best purchase I've made this year. The pillows are quite firm so are just used as filler when the bed is made, but the DUVET is of incredible quality (for this price). I've never had a 'plush' bed before but this actually took our bed to the next level. My husband actually thanked me last time we visited our in laws saying 'this is the first time I've ever found my bed at home more comfortable than one at my parents place.'
