Description
The Braemar Check duvet cover set is made from 100% brushed cotton, a fabric that is worth choosing on purpose for the colder half of the year. Brushing lifts the surface fibres so the cloth feels soft against the skin and holds a little more warmth than a flat-woven cotton of the same weight, which is why brushed cotton comes into its own from autumn onwards. The pattern is a tonal check in warm heritage shades, with a chocolate and grey-blue plaid on one face crossed by rust and cream lines, and a lighter, finer grid check on the reverse. It is a reversible set, so both faces are finished to be seen and you choose which one sits uppermost.
This is a bedroom set with a country feel, at home under a caned or wooden headboard and easy to build a room around. The two check scales, one bold and one delicate, let you flip the look from a heavier, cocooning plaid to a cleaner, brighter grid without buying anything more. It sits happily with plain white or striped sheets, a chunky knitted throw and natural textures such as jute or rattan, and the warm browns and soft blues read well against neutral, putty-toned walls. Style it either way up depending on the season or your mood.
The cover fastens with buttons, a closure that keeps the duvet neatly in place and stands up to regular laundering. The set comes in four sizes, from single through to super king; a single includes one pillowcase, while double, king and super king each include two. Being pure cotton, it washes and wears predictably and takes a warm iron well if you like a crisp finish, though the brushed surface is forgiving if you would rather skip it. Always check the sewn-in care label before your first wash.

Frequently Asked
What does brushed cotton feel like?
Brushing raises the surface fibres, so the cloth is soft and slightly fuzzy to the touch and holds a little extra warmth, which suits it to colder nights.
Is the duvet cover really reversible?
Yes. It carries a bold tonal check on one face and a lighter, finer grid check on the other, and both sides are finished so you can display either one.
How many pillowcases come with each size?
The single size includes one pillowcase, while the double, king and super king sizes each include two pillowcases as standard.
How does the cover fasten?
The cover closes with buttons along the opening, which holds the duvet securely in place and copes well with repeated washing over time.
Can I iron it?
As it is pure cotton it takes a warm iron well if you want a crisp finish, though the brushed surface looks relaxed and forgiving without ironing.
