Dunelm's Portloe Woven Gingham 100% Cotton Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set, which has accumulated more than 380 five-star reviews, is available in a range of autumnal colours. The double size in 'moss', a deep green shade, is currently priced at £36.
The set comes in sizes from single to super king, with other colour options including pale blush hues, lilacs, deep reds and blues. It is made from 100% washed cotton and is pre-washed to provide 'extra softness and a natural soft laundered finish', according to the site.
Design and features
The set is described as having a 'sumptuously soft fabric with a linen-look aesthetic', and each set includes matching pillowcase(s). A secure button closure adds a practical touch, while the gingham woven design adds character to any space.
The bedding is designed to be naturally soft, breathable and comfortably smooth, and the site says it is suitable for year-round use. Some shoppers have mixed colours, offering plenty of options to choose from.
Shopper feedback
The set has an overall average rating of 4.5 out of five on Dunelm. One shopper wrote: "Soft, cosy, gorgeous bedding. Delighted! Visitors have used it and then gone and bought their own!"
A second person commented: "I love these gingham bed sets. I mix and match the green and the red, they look fabulous." A third added: "This is the fifth set of beautiful bedding I've ordered from Dunelm. I love the sage green gingham, the quality is great, (it) washes and irons lovely, I can't fault it, that's why I've bought another set. I know what I'm getting and am extremely happy, thank you."
Alternatives and drawbacks
Some reviewers deducted stars due to difficulty ironing the fabric smooth. One wrote: "Nice, but so crumpled and impossible to iron smooth." Another commented: "I like this duvet set. It is crinkly after a wash, as other people have said, but I like that as it's snuggly and (I think) it's supposed to be like that. I don't bother ironing bedding anyway. I'd recommend it. Looks cute."
