Great option for 100% cotton
Size: Queen (90" X 90"), Color: 11 - Bright White (No Comforter)
really love the look and feel of this duvet cover set. I had another duvet cover from bedsure that was polyester, but wanted to switch to 100% cotton. Bedsure is always spot on with quality. It is slightly rough but cotton gets softer the more it’s washed. I was debating between the bright white and natural white shades, and was worried that the bright white would pull too cool toned in my room but i’m so happy I chose it cause it looks so nice. The cover has high quality ties on the inside to attach to duvet cover and the zipper is also very durable. No loose strings or pilling. The fabric is cooling and lightweight. I read so many reviews before making purchases and was debating between this set or one that was more high end, and i’m happy I went with this option

Great quality
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 21 - Pastel Blue (No Comforter)
I absolutely love this comforter set. The material is incredibly soft and comfortable, and it makes the bed feel so cozy and inviting. It’s lightweight enough to stay comfortable at night but still warm and fluffy. The quality exceeded my expectations, especially for the price, and it looks beautiful in the room. It also washed really well without losing its softness or shape. Definitely one of the best bedding purchases I’ve made.

Comfortable, Breathable, and Worth Every Penny!
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 09 - Iceberg Green (No Comforter), Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 09 - Iceberg Green (No Comforter)
I decided to switch from synthetic bedding to 100% cotton, and I am SO glad I did. The quality of this set is amazing. I washed everything before using it, and it washed well overall. There were a few small cotton fuzzies after washing, but nothing a quick lint roll couldn’t fix.
I ordered the sage green duvet cover and pillowcases, and the color is beautiful. In bright morning light it looks more like a true sage green, while in dimmer lighting it can lean more earthy or military green. Either way, it’s stunning, cozy, and really warms up the room.
The biggest difference for me was the sleep quality. I normally wake up several times a night and overheat easily, but the first night sleeping with this duvet cover and my new 100% cotton sheets, I slept completely through the night without waking up once. The cotton feels slightly heavier in the best way -- cozy and tucked in without feeling hot or suffocating. It was truly the best night's sleep I have gotten in a very long time.
I honestly didn’t realize how much fabric type could affect sleep quality until now. My body responded so well to the cotton that I don’t think I can ever go back to synthetic bedding again.

Color is off
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 15 - Petal Pink (No Comforter)
I ordered the petal pink, but the color is brighter and more peach colored than pictured. Besides that, it's super soft, easy to use and comfortable.

Zipper + Ultra-Soft Cotton = Love this Duvet Cover
Size: Queen (90" X 90"), Color: 01 - Natural White (No Comforter)
I just received this duvet and I couldn’t be happier. Right out of the packaging, the first thing I noticed was how incredibly soft the fabric felt—no stiffness or “breaking in” period needed. It has that cozy, breathable cotton feel that makes climbing into bed even more inviting.
One feature I especially appreciate is the zipper closure at the bottom. It makes inserting and removing the duvet so much easier compared to traditional button closures, and it keeps everything securely in place without any gaps.
The overall quality feels great, from the stitching to the fabric itself. It’s lightweight yet still feels durable, and it adds a clean, comfortable look to my bed. The one thing I would suggest is make sure you select the right "white" color. There's a bright white that I am going to order as the white I ordered "Natural" has a bit of a tan color in it against a bright white.
