This is the most I have ever spent on a comforter and sheet set.  I was expecting to feel pampered with this splurge. Instead, the fitted sheet kept slipping off the mattress, and started to pill after the second wash.  The  sheets and comforter both were very thin and did a poor job of keeping the heat in.  The stuffing in the comforter bunched up in some places and had bare spots in others. The only way its halfway usable is to put a duvet cover over it.
