The bamboo material is as soft as silk but the design is not good. It is baggy around the panda duvet. I have used internal strings it has to keep in place but cover still moves around loads in between. Also the buttons at the bottom are so tight leaving one on during washing ripped the bamboo material. And you can see the black paws embroidered in the duvet through the cover. A shame these things have not been considered when people buy both duvet and cover, it should be perfect combination and it is not!
