Barton Cotton Gingham Duvet Cover Set - Grey

The Barton duvet cover set is pure cotton, printed with a soft grey gingham check on a white ground. What sets it apart is that it is fully reversible: one side carries a larger check, the other a smaller version of the same pattern, both in the same muted grey. The print has a subtle mélange quality, so the checks read as slightly textured rather than flat and graphic. Every set includes the duvet cover and matching Oxford pillowcases with their neat flat borders. It runs from single through to super king, so you can match it to the bed you actually have.

This is an easy set to live with in most bedrooms. The grey-and-white gingham is quiet enough to sit under a busier scheme yet has enough pattern to carry a plain room on its own. It works with painted iron bed frames, dark wood furniture and natural textures like the jute rug and knitted throw shown alongside it. Layer it with a textured cushion or two and it reads relaxed rather than fussy. Because it reverses, you can flip to the alternate check for a quick midweek change without buying a second set.

Being 100% cotton, it is breathable and takes a wash well, softening a little with use. The Oxford pillowcases give a tailored edge around the pillows, while the reversible design means both faces are finished to be seen. Single sets contain one matching pillowcase; double, king and super king sets contain two. Choose whichever check suits your mood, or turn the cover over when the room needs a lift. If you like the look, the wider Barton range carries the same gingham across its pieces so you can build a coordinated bed.

Is the whole set really reversible?

Yes. The duvet cover and pillowcases both carry a check on each face, one slightly larger than the other, so you can flip them to change the look.

What does the cotton mean for washing and feel?

Cotton is breathable and absorbent, so it washes well and tends to soften with use, which makes it a comfortable choice against the skin for most people.

How many pillowcases come in the set?

The single set includes one matching Oxford pillowcase. The double, king and super king sets each include two matching Oxford pillowcases.

What is an Oxford pillowcase?

An Oxford pillowcase has a flat fabric border running around the edge, which gives the pillows a tailored, framed look once they are made up on the bed.

Which size should I choose?

Pick the size that matches your duvet and bed, from single up to super king, as the cover is made to fit standard UK duvet dimensions in each size.
