So worth it !
I love it!

Very nice duvet set
This is very nice and price is great. Was surprised to find to pillow cases in addition to the shams !

Nice!
I had to go through a few orders of these before I had a set that didn’t have stitching issue on the duvet, but for the cost I cannot complain. It’s soft, it breaths well, and it looks nice.

Feels great but construction is horrible.
The microfiber fabric used in this is very silky feeling. It feels like microfiber should, like satin or silk but not shiny, just like a high grade linen, cotton or silk should feel. There are unfortunately several problems. First is, it’s got spots in several places. I don’t know if it was previously used (yuck!) or got dirty in manufacturing. There are several places with black dots like they used a black sharpie to mark it in places (did I mention I bought a WHITE duvet cover??) They look like a bullseye almost and are a quarter of an inch in diameter. So not just a tiny dot but may have started out as a dot but spread out to a quarter inch. Not even sure if I wash it that it will spread out more or not. Some are on the duvet and the others on some of the pillowcases. The other mark is like liquid food of some type got spilled. Brown like coffee or chocolate milk. I opened this packaging on top of my bed, is still there as I write this and has not been moved off the bed since opening and I guarantee there was nothing spilled on my bed. Second is the construction. The problem is in the stitching. If you know basic sewing terms you should know what basting means. (And no, I’m not talking about what you will be doing to your turkey next month while it is in the oven.). In sewing you have a Stitches Per Inch or SPI. it refers to how long your stitches and how many are within a one inch line. (I’m sure a lot of you already know the definition but for those who don’t I will explain why the correct stitch length matters.) Sort of like thread count per square inch (TC) but instead of measuring how many threads are in a row in a square inch you are just counting how many complete stitches there are in a inch length. The longer the stitch is, the fewer there are in an inch. Examples are for basic sewing you would use about 10 to 20 stitches per inch depending upon the type of the fabric you are sewing and how strong you want the seam. For basting you would put in as few as possible. More like 6 stitches per inch. The purpose is to just hold the garment together with as few stitches as possible so you can try it on and to make sure that wherever you are going to put the seam it will fit correctly, then if you have to adjust it you only have a few stitches to remove instead of 15 tiny ones or so. This number of stitches also determines if your fabric will pucker along the stitches. The more stitches the stronger the seam is. A stitch of about 6 SPI gives about 23.6 lb. strength and a SPI of 12 goes up to about 43.6 lb. strength. So what does this have to do with a duvet or pillow cases? A very low stitch count will cause a seam to fall apart a lot sooner than it should. The seams will have very little strength to them. If you are pulling your filled duvet with a heavy comforter in it around on the bed or shaking and fluffing it, the seams will pull apart very easily from the weight. I noticed right away that they had set the stitch length at way too long. The stitches are more like they basted the duvet and pillow cases. There are only about 5 stitches per inch on the pillow cases and about seven on the seams of the duvet. This is way too low and it won’t take long for these seams to start coming apart. The microfiber fabric is very dense as far as it’s thread count and should have around 15 stitches per inch in its seams. I sew and before I use these items I will have to go over all the seams with the correct length of the stitches. This way I won’t have to be constantly repairing the seams as they fall apart. The other problem I noticed is in several places the bobbin tension was incorrect and many sections are very puckered. Some are puckered in other places also due to incorrect length of stitches.All in all the duvet and pillowcases are very luxurious feeling and once I resew all the seams it will make for a comfy bed. It still did not warrent more than one star though due to the spots on it and the horrible sewing mistakes. Either they do not use inspectors or the inspectors do not care and approve it anyway.

I hadn’t realised ‘micro fibre’ equals 100% polyester! The sheets feel limp and clingy to your body. They are hotter than cotton sheets – I had to turn my air conditioning cooler! I assume I cannot return sheets I have already slept in and washed once so they are a write-off for me. I went and bought cotton blend sheets from IKEA! So disappointed in these sheets after reading great reviews.

i own butterfly dreams luxury microfiber beddings, as well as a cheaper microfiber fitted sheet from the mall. both are way thicker and softer than these. i tried these because of the hype online and customer reviews here.
