This duvet looked good but is a huge disappointment.  It sure does not feel like microfibre, the underside of the pillow shams might be microfibre but the rest of the fabric is horrible.  It has a terrible feel to it, not soft at all, reminds me of some horrible cheap synthetic fabric from the 60's  It's a shame as it is really pretty but I'm going back to a nice cotton duvet cover that is soft to the touch
