![]() “It basically only leaves our bed to get washed, then goes right back on,” she adds. I like how the buttons are placed to sit hidden inside.” Plus, it’s durable: “It gets a lot of wear because both the cat and dog sleep on our bed.” Yang says it’s “much thicker than any other linen bedding item I’ve ever owned” but “still airy and breathable,” making it great for use all year. “The details and finishing are really great. “It’s really well made, probably the nicest duvet cover we’ve ever owned,” she says. Yang, who switched from the Cultiver cover to this one about a year and a half ago, agrees. While pricey, “all of their products meet strict standards,” says Goldman. Material: Organic linen, Midweight | Style: Seven colorsĬoyuchi is another linens-maker we’ve written about before: The brand produces some of our favorite towels and jersey and linen sheets, so we weren’t too surprised to hear that Yang and Ashley Goldman, the founder of the Gold Hive are fans of its chambray, heathered-linen duvet cover. Another detail that Kitchens points out is the duvet’s zip closure, which she says “makes for a neater-looking bed.” “There’s something slightly elevated about it.” Kitchens owns the shade “willow,” a mossy green-brown, and pairs it with the brand’s ( Strategist-approved) matte sateen sheets in terracotta. “I’ve spent a lot of time studying various linen companies’ color swatches (still bored by the all-white bed), and I love Morrow’s range,” she says. “And they’re durable enough to endure the regular laundering that comes with running a boutique hotel.” In addition to just how nice they feel, Kitchens appreciates Morrow’s rich color options. (They pair them with Pottery Barn Sleepsmart duvets, our pick for the best temperature-regulating comforter, and guests regularly rave about their bedding experience at the inn.) “We ultimately felt that Morrow provided the best combination of qualities: great-looking, soft, breathable linen,” she told us. ![]() “The fabric feels like it’s been washed a million times, but still feels substantial.” And while Kitchens has noticed that certain linen companies use a hardier, sometimes rougher fabric for the cover than its sheets, Morrow does not.Ĭourtney Laine, owner of Victorian bed and breakfast Batterby House and Batterby Cottage in Hudson, New York, settled on Morrow after comparing four different brands of duvet covers. “Of all the linen duvets I’ve slept on, Morrow’s are the softest to me by far,” says Strategist senior editor Simone Kitchens.

Pariso calls this a “really nice beginner linen” for those looking to try linen bedding without committing to a full set of sheets. Shoemaker calls the duvet cover “casual and comfortable,” especially for those who sleep hot, “as the linen is breathable and provides more insulation than cotton.” She notes that the brand uses 100 percent European flax, “which starts out soft and only gets softer over time.” Another feature that she likes is that the duvet cover is great for pets: “It’s an easy-to-clean material that resists dog hair,” Shoemaker says. Plus, you can branch out from basic white or flax-colored linen with Parachute’s saturated shades that include indigo, ochre, and a dusty pink. “I almost always choose linen because I love the laid-back look,” Rich told us.

Because a duvet cover isn’t typically what you’re sleeping directly on or under, choosing one is often more about aesthetics and style than fabrication. While the right mattress might make for a painless night’s sleep, and the best sheets will keep you perfectly comfortable during that sleep, a duvet cover does double duty - it protects your comforter and adds a design element to your bed, tying everything together.
