Pumpkin Fields Tufted Plain Duvet Cover Set - Multi

This is the Pumpkin Fields tufted duvet cover set, a plain-ground bedding set carrying a raised, tufted pumpkin motif across the cover and pillowcases. It is made from 100% polyester with a soft touch handle, and the pumpkins are worked in relief so the pattern is something you feel as well as see: the outlines and ribbing of each pumpkin stand up from the flat weave in a tufted, slightly fluffy texture, set against a smooth plain reverse. It comes in four sizes, from Single through to Super King, so you can match it to the bed you are dressing.

This is a seasonal set built for autumn, and it earns its place from late September onwards. The warm orange ground and the pumpkin pattern sit naturally alongside dried grasses, wooden furniture and a scattering of real or ceramic pumpkins, which is how the styling images show it, and it works just as well in a child's room as in a main bedroom because the design reads as playful rather than fussy. If you like to change your bedroom for Halloween and the weeks around it without repainting or rearranging, a duvet cover set does that in one step and stores flat the rest of the year.

Being 100% polyester, the set is easy to live with: polyester resists creasing, so it comes off the line or out of the tumble dryer ready to use, and it dries quickly. The cover closes with a button fastening at the opening, which keeps the duvet contained and sits flat under the pillows. The tufted areas are the part to treat gently, as raised pile like this responds better to a cooler wash and a low heat than to hard handling. Dress it with the matching pillowcases the set includes, add a plain or textured throw in a toning rust or cream, and the pumpkins do the rest of the work.

What is the pumpkin pattern actually made of?

The pumpkins are tufted, meaning the design is raised in soft pile above the flat ground rather than printed on, so you can feel the texture as well as see it.

How many pillowcases come with each size?

The set includes a duvet cover with matching pillowcase or pillowcases; the single has one and the larger sizes have two, so check the size you are buying.
