I bought this duvet cover based on the reviews, and I was not disappointed. I did put it in the dryer on no heat for about 10 minutes before using it. Just to get any loose fuzzies off. There weren't any!It's incredibly soft! I used a light weight comforter inside it, and the weight is perfect. My cat immediately started kneeding it. He loves it too! I highly recommend this duvet. Great price, fast shipping and makes you feel like your sleeping in luxury. I bought a queen size and it drapes over my queen size bed perfectly, too.No sheddings or balling up. You can use it as is or add a blanket inside. I don’t ever write reviews but I love what I got and so does my boyfriend! Also, the 2 pillow cases are just as nice. Just get itttttt, I promise you won’t be disappointed!I washed it the day I got it (hot warm cycle w. disinfectant). Flip it inside out before washing. I threw it in the dryer on medium air cycle and it was still fluffy. Took about 30 minutes to dry (I fluffed the half way through, to make sure dried it completely.) it will shed a little when you dry it which is good before I don’t want the loose sheds to get in my hair and clothes. The DUVET is really heavy and thick, so you might not need a duvet insert for this, but I did to make it firm and easier to move while in bed. The pillow cases are thick and heavy as well. Very well worth your money.It's so soft. I recommend when drying it to dry as recommended with cool air. It took about 11 hours to fully dry but it didn't matte. I love it.My only complaint is the material in photo looks thicker almost like weaved yarn or cotton it’s actually thin , long strands of “fur” but ver y pretty and soft on the other side as well.It's wayyy soft, beautiful color, huge. However can't find a duvet to match it in size. But idc.fits my bed good, very soft. i feel like a little princess sleepingVery soft, it also changes the look of my roomThis is THE softest bed-set I have ever owned. I'm a 23-year-old guy and I KNOW i'm gonna get shifty looks because my bed literally looks like it serves a specific purpose, but I take that as a good sign. You can judge me, but you won't be complaining as soon as you give this set a chance. It hangs nicely off the bed, and adds more character to my room! I hopped right into my bed and immediately took a nap. Good sign? Definitely. Because I take 546 different positions and a sacrifice to the gods to fall asleep, and that's definitely not the case on this bed-set. No more staring blankly at my ceiling for half the night!Don't put a gender on this bed-set. Guys, girls, human beings; everybody wants to feel like they're sleeping on a cloud, so get this set!I was so excited to get this duvet. It looks nice but it's not "puffy" like others describe. It's very soft, yes. My main thing is the color is nothing like the photos. It's more grey/white not dark grey ombre like I ordered. Otherwise it looks ok. I'll probably just keep it, rather than pay $20 to return it. Blah.This is absolutely amazing! I am renovating my daughters bedroom, and I was worried it might be tacky- I WAS WRONG! It is sooo soft. It doesn’t seem to shed either. I have not washed it, but I ran it through my dryer on sanitize setting with very minimal shedding. I’m so impressed I’m getting one for my room now. Price is on point and quality is too.Thank you so much.It’s gorgeous, feels amazing and looks amazing! Exactly as pictured. The shade of black is a dark beautiful colour and it looks elegant and luxurious! I got the black colour. My only criticism is that It sheds like a mother!!! It gets on my clothes, all over my carpets. I find myself having to vacuum every other day! When I sit on the bed my clothes will have the black fur thing and then I’ll walk around the house and it’ll fall off my clothes and around my house. So I randomly find the fur from this places in my home. I really wish it didn’t shed so much otherwise it is really nice and I feel like a queen sleeping on it(I attached a pic of the shedding)
