Pure Cotton Striped Bedding Set

Bought this as perfect colour for our bedroom, but once washed I was so disappointed with it. It is impossible to iron as the seams just won’t match up smoothly, and I have tried for ages to get the creases out, but just will not smooth completely!

This duvet cover looked lovely on the web site. Washed it and could see because of the different materials it pulled out of shape. There is no way you could get away without ironing it which isn't easy as mine was a king size. I was so disappointed with this item. Certainly not up to marks and Spencer's quality. It wasn't a cheap duvet cover and not worth the price. Will not recommend under any circumstances

Loved the colours in this bedding - perfect for the room it was going in. It arrived promptly but the packaging was a little worse for wear. Having said that the contents were in tact so I proceeded to open and then washed them as advised. On coming to iron them (and they need ironing because they are 100% cotton) because of the waffle weave stripes and the seersucker stripes which pull the material out of shape, it was quite a job to get them looking anywhere near as pristine as they had looked coming out of their packs which was a bit disappointing. Hoping this will improve over time/washes.

Read the reviews and they were a mixed bag. However, the color scheme is perfect. The quilt feels luxurious, the pillow cases are not very rouched and the pillows feel smooth to the touch. A perfect fit, but could be a fraction wider. An excellent buy.

Only just received. Washed before use, but not as easy to iron as claimed.

Extremely happy with the bedding, colour scheme was exactly what I was looking for. Also very comfortable.

A quality, well made duvet cover with 180 thread count. Stylish design that would work well in a bedroom with neutral colours. Shown in the photo with a throw.

I spent time picking this and was looking forward to receiving it but not as expected. On the front of the package it said textured duvet cover but I had not picked that up in the description. I did not want a waffled finish to a pillow case, i returned it and went back to my search

Lovely colour and feel (cotton / waffle) but the bedding in the photo must have been ironed with an industrial iron. Having read other reviews about people ironing it I mistakenly assumed they were just people who like ironing everything - how wrong I was. This cover emerged from the dryer looking as if it had been through a mangle. Being disabled this is not an easy option for me butt I attempted a press but with little effect. Too late to return - lesson learnt

Well worth the money. Bought king sized and fits perfectly. The quality is what you would expect from M&S. love it!!
