This duvet cover set is excellent.  I have been trying to replace my 500 TC stripped set now for ages.  This really fits the bill. It is silky soft cotton but heavy weight.  I hope this one lasts as long as my previous which lasted years. Love the hand holes which used to be on many good quality items but had disappeared of late. The only thing is I would love to get another one but can't afford it - such is life.
