The Egyptian-Quality Cotton is soft and my comforter fit inside perfectly. This is the first duvet cover set I have bought,  and I was expecting it to be thicker than it is. One problem...ties are promised to help hold the comforter inside, and their were none. So far, no problem with the comforter sliding around, but I was disappointed in that. All in all, a nice set for the price, but not exactly as promised.
