I'm would not recommend this to a friend. This was a duvet cover and it was not generous enough to cover my duvet. The pattern on my duvet was visible through the cover.One side of the cover had a manufacture defect on it. This duvet cover seems to be two sheets sewn together. In all fairness I ordered beige and my duvet had pattern on it, thus the pattern being visible. Had the fabric been a little heavier the pattern would not show through.
