I LOVE THIS DUVET. It is so soft, but durable. We have a dog that sleeps in bed with us, so any bedding has to be pretty durable. We've had this for three months and its still as beautiful as when we pulled it out of the box. I clean it on normal in a washing machine, nothing special. Doesn't get much easier than that. If you're even thinking about getting it, BUY IT! You won't regret it.
