As we bid farewell to the long, bleak winter and welcome the arrival of warmer weather with the changing clocks, many are seeking fresh additions to rejuvenate their homes for spring.
A straightforward and reasonably-priced way to revamp your bedroom is by investing in new bedding. Once a luxury item reserved for high-end hotels due to their hefty price tags, sumptuous sleeping sets are now readily available at affordable prices.
Dunelm is a favourite destination for shoppers on this quest, with its Dorma Crisp and Fresh 400 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Percale Duvet Cover garnering a legion of fans.
The duvet cover’s zip fastening, a departure from traditional buttons, has been lauded by customers, with some others praising the bedding for its non-iron qualities.
The Dorma bedding is offered in an extensive range of sizes, from single to emperor, with prices varying accordingly. It starts at £46 and can go up to £88 for the largest size.
Crafted from luxurious Egyptian cotton, the 400 thread count duvet cover promises a “perfect display of bedding elegance”.
It also comes in a broad spectrum of colours to match your personal style, including coffee, lilac, indigo, sage green, gun metal grey, cream, white, and rose pink, reports the Mirror.
For those watching the pennies, Debenhams offers an affordable sleeping solution with the ‘Avery Stripe’ Pinsonic Soft Touch Duvet Cover set, priced at £30.99—though it’s currently discounted to £26.80.
Meanwhile, M&S offer more luxurious alternatives, such as the chic Pure Cotton Lorelei Floral Bedding Set, though prices range a little higher, between £85 to £140.
The Dorma Duvet Cover at Dunelm is resonating well with customers, gaining an average rating of 4.4 stars from its reviews.
One happy shopper said: “Gorgeous. Crisp and fresh. Light and smooth. Washed very well and dried in (the) dryer. Pressed easily. Looks lovely.
“I searched for a duvet cover, with a zipper and this doesn’t disappoint – I hate the fiddly buttons on a duvet cover and I will never go back. Worth every penny.”
Continuing the praise, someone else said: “Very pleased with this duvet cover. Very comfortable, washes well and I love the discreet zip. Would definitely not hesitate to buy this again. Dorma products are high quality.”
And yet another satisfied customer added: “Lovely soft silky cotton—needs no ironing. Would certainly buy again. Good value for money. Always buy pure cotton bed linen from Dunelm and never been disappointed.”
One more chimed in saying: “Lovely high quality bedding. Super cosy and comfy, I washed it and put it straight back on as I didn’t want to use another. Love it.”
Despite the wave of glowing reviews, there are a few niggles to be noted. One customer remarked: “I bought this because of the easy zipper fastener, as I was sick of faffing with buttons or ties. I just wish the material was a bit thicker. It’s quite thin, so I can see it wearing threadbare after a year of washes.”
Another buyer was less impressed with the colour of their purchase, although they didn’t specify their choice. They said: “Soft and nice sheets. However, (I’m) not happy with (the) colour, too pale.”
