The material is very soft, and it fit my new comforter beautifully. I'm really glad that there are buttons to secure the opening and not a zipper. That was one thing I was a little worried about. One thing that I am a little disappointed by is the sheer amount of fluff that I keep finding, as well as how the fabric can easily wrinkle. I put the duvet in the dryer (low tumble like it recommends) to try and remove the extra fluff, but it seems to only create more? I had to take a lint roller to remove it. Maybe with a few more washes, it'll actually go away, but I wont know until then. It's not horrible, but it's enough that I had to take time to clean it off. Same with the shams. Other than that, it's beautifully stitched together, it fit my comforter like a glove, and it's soft and wonderful to sleep under. I think I'd eventually like to purchase another one in a different cover so I can switch back and forth.
