Pinch Pleat Duvet Cover Set

Pinch pleating is a piece of hotel bedding detail that rarely makes it into domestic sets. Rows of fabric are gathered and stitched into raised pleats across the face of the duvet cover, which gives the bed dimension and shadow instead of a flat expanse of colour. It is the reason a hotel bed looks dressed rather than simply covered.

Six colours are offered, all in the muted register that suits a bedroom: Lavender Mist, Chestnut Brown, Slate Grey, Pearl White, Golden Beige and Midnight Black. Pearl White and Slate Grey are the most versatile if the rest of the room is doing the work; Chestnut Brown and Golden Beige are the warmer options and pair well with oak and rattan furniture.

The microfibre is woven fine enough to feel smooth rather than synthetic and is hypoallergenic, which matters in a bedroom for anyone sensitive to dust. The wrinkle-resistant finish means the set comes out of the machine ready to go on the bed without ironing - a real saving on something this large. Each set includes the duvet cover and two pillowcases. Machine wash cool and tumble dry low, removing it promptly to keep the pleats crisp. Four bed sizes are offered, up to an emperor, which is a size most ranges simply do not bother to make.
