Description
The Barton duvet cover set is a pure cotton gingham in a soft eucalyptus green and white, made in a percale weave with a 144 thread count. The check is a printed melange rather than a flat block of colour, so up close you can see a little texture running through each square, which stops the pattern looking hard-edged. It is a reversible set, giving you two looks from a single purchase, and it comes in four sizes from single up to super king so you can match whatever bed you are dressing.
This is a set that suits a relaxed, unfussy bedroom. Gingham reads as country and cottage but the muted green here is calm enough to sit in a modern room too, and it works well against natural wood, cane and rattan headboards, and warm neutral walls. Because it is reversible you can turn it over when you want a change of mood without buying a second set. Pair it with plain cream or white pillowcases if you want the check to lead, or with a knitted throw for a softer, layered bed.
Being 100% cotton, the set is breathable and gets more comfortable the more you use it. Ours has been garment washed and dried before it reaches you, which is why it already feels soft in the hand and why it keeps softening with each home wash. Cotton is easy to launder and takes a warm iron well if you like a crisp finish, though the relaxed weave is forgiving if you prefer to skip that step. Discreet button fastenings keep the duvet in place inside the cover. The single set includes one pillowcase; the double, king and super king each include two.

Frequently Asked
What is the set actually made from?
It is 100% cotton in a percale weave, which is a plain, close weave that feels crisp and cool and stands up well to regular washing.
Is the duvet cover really reversible?
Yes, the design is reversible, so you can turn the cover over for a second look without needing to buy a separate set.
How is the duvet held in place inside the cover?
The cover closes with discreet button fastenings along the opening, which keep the duvet neatly in place and hidden from view.
Will it feel soft or stiff when it arrives?
It has been garment washed and dried before it reaches you, so it already feels soft in the hand and continues to soften with every home wash.
How many pillowcases come with each size?
The single set includes one pillowcase, while the double, king and super king sets each include two pillowcases.
Can I iron it?
Cotton takes a warm iron well if you want a crisp finish, but the relaxed weave looks fine straight from the airer if you would rather not.
