Description
The Braemar Check duvet cover set is made from 100% brushed cotton, a finish where the surface of the cloth is combed to raise a soft nap. That is what gives brushed cotton its slightly fleecy hand and its extra warmth, which is why bedding like this comes into its own through the colder months. The design is a tartan-inspired check in green and natural, printed across the cover, with a reversible face carrying a second check so you can flip it for a different look without buying a second set. It comes in four sizes, from Single through Double and King to Super King.
This is a set built for a warm, country-leaning bedroom rather than a crisp summer one. The green and natural checks sit easily against wood furniture, cane headboards and neutral walls, and the brushed surface reads as cosy rather than formal. It suits anyone who wants their bed to feel like the warmest place in the house on a cold night, and the tonal check works whichever way round you turn it, so you can change the feel of the room by reversing the cover rather than restyling everything around it.
The cover fastens with buttons along the opening, which hold the duvet securely inside and sit flat once made up. Being pure cotton, it washes and wears well and takes a warm wash and tumble without fuss, though brushed cotton keeps its nap best on a gentle cycle. The Single set includes one pillowcase; the Double, King and Super King each include two. Turn it and its reverse check gives you a second scheme within the same bedding.

Frequently Asked
What does brushed cotton feel like compared with plain cotton?
Brushed cotton has a raised, slightly fleecy surface that feels softer and warmer against the skin, which makes it well suited to colder nights and winter bedrooms.
Can I really use both sides of this cover?
Yes, the design is reversible with a different check on each face, so you can turn the cover to change the look of the bed without needing a second set.
How does the cover close?
It fastens with buttons along the opening, which keep the duvet held inside and sit flat and neat once the bed is made up.
How many pillowcases come in the set?
The Single set includes one pillowcase, while the Double, King and Super King sets each include two pillowcases to match the cover.
How should I wash it to keep it soft?
As it is pure cotton it launders easily, though a gentle wash helps brushed cotton hold its soft raised nap for longer over repeated washes.
