My husband and I have always used a comforter with a duvet cover over it for the past 20 years. I certainly have gone through my share of them. I've had thick ones, thin ones, premium Egyptian cotton and thick cotton flannel. I live in South Florida and it's important to us to have something lightweight. We have a very light weight alternative down comforter her that we needed something light to cover it. I knew that this wasn't a 1500 thread count duvet cover, and I knew that it was microfiber going into it, but that didn't bother me. We've slept with this for a few months now and I have to say that this is the softest, most lightweight and luxurious feeling duvet cover I have ever had. I'm close to 50 years old and I have hot flashes, but this wasn't too hot for me. Did I mention I live in Florida?? Paired with a thin duvet filler, and you've got yourself a perfect match. My husband can't stop commenting on how soft and comfy he is at night and that means a lot. these don't wrinkle, they wash really well and mine didn't come with any stains like some of the reviews mentioned. These were brand-new in the plastic with cardboard in the middle, and were never opened or used until I opened them. You can't beat the price and I will be buying several other colors when I get the chance, believe me. I was not paid for any reviews and I did not get this for free. I paid for it and I'm glad I did and I will be paying for more of them

*** Update May/2017= still LOVING this! Please don't listen to the reviews who say they received stained. Ours came super tightly packed and wrapped in cardboard and plastic and not sure how it would have come stained unless they did it themselves. Anyway, ours has been washed several times now and it just keeps getting softer. Doesn't need ironing and doesn't wrinkle. I am in the process of deciding what other colors I want. It's worth it!!

Purchased for my bedroom which was made over and the subtle color made it nice to look at the soft material is a comfort.

Fits perfectly on my queen sized duvet insert. Amazingly, the duvet cover stays in place, which saves me al kinds of time! So worth it! No negatives

Inexpensive but feels high quality! Using it with a queen sized comforter in second bedroom (definitely could go larger) and love the look and feel. 100% recommend.

It's an okay product. It's cool and comfortable.
