Pinzon Hotel 300-Thread-Count Percale Duvet Cover Review

Pinzon Hotel 300-Thread-Count Percale Duvet Cover
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These sheets have a strange papery quality; they don't feel like heavy, high quality sheets. Though they did not shrink when washed, they came out very wrinkly. I've never seen such wrinkly sheets before; I thought cotton-percale resisted wrinkles. The fitted sheet has elastic all the way around, which is nice, and it didn't crawl up on the mattress. I have a pillow-top and it fit fine.

I bought these sheets based on the good reviews I read. Unfortunately, I was terribly disappointed. Even before being washed, the sheets felt thin and cheap. After I washed the sheets, they immediately felt pilled and rough. I later bought the 500 thread count Wrinkle Free brand sheets and have been very pleased with them.

Average Reviews:

Good quality, but not what we thought it would look like. It is embroidered like we wanted, but not the design we wanted. It is kind of hard to tell the detail from the picture. A magnified look would have helped. It has a shimmery thread added in, so if that's what you want, go for it. Either way, I would have to say that the retailer was extremely helpful in returning the item. Great customer service!

Plum Jacaranda Striped Microsuede Luxury Duvet Comforter Cover 6 piece Bedding Set - Available in King and Queen Review

Plum Jacaranda Striped Microsuede Luxury Duvet Comforter Cover 6 piece Bedding Set - Available in King and Queen
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We just got our duvet and are enjoying the softness of the micro-fiber. We have two young boys and they are putting it through the wringer with alot of jumping, wrestling and snuggling. We all agree that it feels great.
The other day I noticed a small blood stain on my brand new duvet. Probabaly from one of my boys. Anyway, I used a little bath soap and water to dab at it, and to my surprise the stain disappeared immediately. The color remains fine as well. I have not fully laundered the duvet yet, but based on the ease with which I was able to remove the stain, I am very pleased with the fabric. I am reserving a star until I see how it handles a full laundering.
The shams are king sized, which I like as my last duvet came with standard size shams and I have a king size bed, and the cushions are a nice finishing touch.
I am very happy with my purchase.

I have this DKNY bedding and I must say it is gorgeous. Everyone- even men - comment on how nice it is. Though it is expensive, it is very well made, will last a long time if well cared for, and will stay in style forever. You get what you pay for and these prices are much better than what it goes for at Macy's.

The design of extending the pocket size of the fitted sheet to 14 inches will fit with the most of mattresses.*We recommend duvet covers because they can be washed much more often than can your quilted comforter. Too-frequent washing (even dry cleaning) can compromise your comforter's down fill. However, a cotton duvet cover can be laundered along with the sheets and pillowcases. This keeps the down comforter fresh as well. If you have ever priced dry cleaning for a fine comforter, you understand why cleaning it less often is a huge advantage!*Another advantage of cotton duvet covers is that they are changeable, so you can change the look and feel of your bedroom without having to completely redecorate.

Pinzon Fleur Jacquard Woven 18" Square Pillow Cover Review

Pinzon Fleur Jacquard Woven 18 Square Pillow Cover
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After ordering these pillow covers online, I went to Michaels to get inserts. Naturally, I purchased 18 inch inserts. When the pillow covers came in, I discovered that the 18 inch were WAY too small and had to go back for the 20, which are of course, much more expensive (unless you get them at Ikea, which I ended up doing). HOWEVER, they are beautiful, and I love them!

Pinzon's Fleur Jacquard accent pillow cover is a silky soft and elegant accessory to the collection. Boasting a sophisticated floral jacquard pattern, the cover is expertly sewn in Portugal from pure, Egyptian cotton in a sateen weave. It has a positive/negative reverse and is finished with solid cream piping all around. The 18-inch square cover accessorizes marvelously with other striped and floral pieces from the Fleur Jacquard collection, or for a layered look, it will also mix beautifully with Pinzon's Diamond Matelasse and Hotel Banded bedding. The cover is offered in two colors and is safe to clean at home in the washer and dryer. It has a side slit opening for easy pillow insertion and removal.
Fabric Definitions Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.
History of the Textile Mill Piubelle, founded in 1981, is one of the most versatile Portuguese home textiles companies, with thousands of existing designs in its collection, including yarn dyes, prints, embroideries, and jacquards. A very efficient design team keeps abreast of trends and stays on the lookout for something new. Innovation is continuous. New threads, fabrics, and colors are frequently tested and analyzed. New products are constantly introduced. The product lines include a wide range of home linens, such as sheet sets, duvet covers, quilted and woven bedspreads, bath sets and bath robes, throws, tablecloths, and bath rugs. Piubelle always uses the best raw materials in its production stages. Almost all its products are produced with Egyptian cotton and, where requested, there is a label certifying the origin of the cotton.
History of the Region Portugal's major textile factories are located in Guimaraes. Guimaraes is known as the "cradle" or "birth city" of Portugal, since it is home to the castle of Portugal's first king. As one of the country's most historic cities with well-preserved monuments, it is a popular tourist attraction. Among other sites to see are two squares with outdoor cafes and balconied houses, called Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira. At Largo da Oliveira is the old Town Hall and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, with a Gothic shrine erected in 1340 standing before it. There are many legends about its origins, but a popular story says it marks the spot where Wamba, elected king of the Visigoths, refused his title and drove a pole into the ground swearing that he would not reign until it blossomed, and it sprouted immediately. Guimaraes hosts an annual 3-day festival of medieval art and costume in the first week of August, which dates from the middle of the 15th century and includes a torchlight procession and a medieval parade. Not only renowned for textiles and historical sites, Guimaraes is in the heart of the "Vinho Verde" region, so called for its locally produced fresh, young "green wines."

We would have had to have spent a lot more to get anything like this at a bedding store, or even Target.

I continue to be impressed with the quality of the high end products in the Pinzon line (see my reviews for the bamboo towels, velvet flannel, etc.). I ordered this bedding collection with sheets, duvet, shams, etc. and the fabric is high quality, the craftsmanship is very good, and the extra touch of the reversible shams (which you can't really tell from the pictures) were a very nice surprise. It coordinates very well with chocolate and lighter browns if you've got those colors already in your room. I took it out of the dryer promptly and avoided ironing which is always a plus for me. I have paid a lot more in the past for this type of quality.
