Dress the bed in beautiful, easy-care Egyptian cotton with this duvet set from Pinzon. Elegant pleated hems adorn the simple, basic fabric in this set, giving it a more luxurious display in the bedroom. Made from 100-percent Egyptian cotton in a 400-thread-count Sateen weave, the pieces present smooth, lustrous surfaces and pair well with both solid and patterned sheeting and accessories. The fabric is sewn with single-ply yarns, giving it a lighter weight and a flexible drape. Available in a variety of fashionable colors, the set coordinates with matching Pinzon Pleated Hem sheets.
Offered in a choice of sizes, the Full/Queen-size set includes an 88-by-88-inch duvet with a hidden button closure, and two Standard 20-by-26-inch shams with envelope closures. The duvet's pleated hem is pieced on three sides of the face, forming a "U" shape to set off the top edges of the bed and presenting a smooth drop on the sides. Shams features three-inch pleated flanges on all sides. The set is imported, and each piece should be machine washed in cold and tumble dried on low.
Fabric Definitions
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable, and if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.

Very Impressed
It is a beautiful duvet cover set. The sateen has a nice sheen but does not look "shiny cheap" as some satin or sateen fabrics do. The mocha color looks amazing in my room. When I think of "mocha" I think dark.. this mocha has quite a bit of milk in it which I prefer (lighter color).
Good:
- Looks much more expensive than it is
- Washes well
- No/minimal loose or hanging threads
- The buttons are hidden at the opening of the duvet as it buttons on the inside
Could Improve:
- There are no ties or straps inside the duvet cover that holds the comforter in place. If you've ever used a duvet cover, you know this is a handy feature.
Need to know:
- When I unwrapped the set it had taken on a strong scent of the plastic it was wrapped in. If you are planning on purchasing and throwing immediately on a bed, you will need to wash it or air it out first.
- The picture looks as though the pleating is in a...

I Have a Big Girl Bed
This is the nicest duvet cover set I have! I was so excited when it came that I put it right on the bed and it looked fantastic. And it was soooooo comfortable. My husband came upstairs and proclaimed that we'd stolen someones bed from a magazine.
The color of the satiny cloth is cocoay, there is a thick tuxedo pleating border, and heavy duty buttons to help lock the duvet in place. This queen size fit my duvet and bed very well. We've purchased other duvet covers in the past which have been ill fitting or didn't have a bottom that buttoned(which is just silly). Even after I laundered it, the duvet kept its sheen. It was a bit wrinkly when I next put it on the bed and I was disappointed, but within a day or two it seemed to smooth itself back out and even the pleating looks great. And here I thought I'd have to iron it which really would have lowered the stars on this review as I do not like ironing. The shams easily slip onto your pillows and fit even a standard size...
Item does not match picture!!!!
The one thing that everyone who is contemplating buying this set needs to know is that the duvet cover is actually all one color - a very dark, deep gray (with a small hint of blue). In the picture, it appears that the cover is lighter in the middle of and outside of the pleats, which is very deceiving and inaccurate. If you read this review, are ok with the fact that the color differs from the picture, and still want to purchase this product, then you'll be happy with the construction. It's very sturdy, heavy (thick), and well made, and although I wouldn't call it plush or overly soft, the texture of the sheets and pillow covers are very comfortable.
