I chose this duvet cover for our king size bed due to the fact that I can not wash my comforter in my washing machine. I wanted something that I  can just take off and be able to wash in my machine, without having to go to the laundry mat. This duvet seems to be true to color, very soft and easy to put on, all by myself I might add. It comes with king size pillow cases. I have a king size pillow on the right and a regular size pillow in the case on the left....these are just my extra pillows.  I love the softness and the color of this duvet, I have not washed it yet so Im not sure how well it will do up.
