Description
The Braemar Check duvet cover set is made from 100% brushed cotton, a fabric that has been raised on the surface to lift a soft, slightly fuzzy nap. That brushing is what gives brushed cotton its warmth: the raised fibres trap a little air against you, which is why this weight of cloth suits the colder months. The set is reversible, so one side carries a green-led tartan check and the other a deep berry-red check, both drawn from the same classic tartan-inspired pattern. It runs from single up to super king, and each size is finished with a button closure along the opening.
This is bedding for a bedroom you want to feel warm and settled in. The berry and pine palette reads as a Christmas and country scheme without tipping into novelty, so it holds its own from autumn through the depth of winter. It sits happily against natural wood, cane and rattan headboards and a plain white base sheet, as the photographs show, and a chunky knit throw at the foot keeps the mood relaxed rather than formal. Because it turns over to a second colourway, you can lead with green one week and berry the next from the single set.
Being pure cotton, it takes a machine wash and softens further with use, and the brushed nap tends to feel cosier after the first few launderings. The button closure keeps the duvet contained and gives a neat, secure finish at the end of the bed. If you like the check on the covers, the matching pillowcases carry the same reversible pattern so the set reads as one piece. Layer it with textured cushions and a woollen throw for the fullest effect, or let the check do the work on its own against pared-back walls.

Frequently Asked
What does brushed cotton feel like compared with plain cotton?
Brushed cotton has a raised, softly napped surface that feels warmer and cosier against the skin, which makes it well suited to autumn and winter bedding.
Is the duvet cover really reversible?
Yes, it carries a different check on each side, one green-led and one berry-red, so you can turn it over and change the look without buying a second set.
How does the duvet cover fasten?
It uses a button closure along the opening, which holds the duvet securely inside and gives a tidy finish at the end of the bed.
How should I wash it?
As it is 100% cotton it takes a machine wash comfortably, and the brushed nap generally feels even softer after the first few washes.
What sizes are available and what comes in the set?
It runs from single through to super king, and each set includes the duvet cover with matching pillowcases in the same reversible check.
