pure synthetics, 24 July 2013

I didn't send it back, because my daughter has a HUGE crush on Barnacles and couldn't stand the idea of not sleeping in bed with the bedding without his sweet face on for another night.Despite of being listed as polycotton (52/48), it's not, it's pure polyester. Slippery, not breathy, unpleasant to touch, impossible to keep the duvet in place.For those of you finding yourselves in the same situation (and this is not the 1st time I buy bedding on Amazon and it arrives and turns out to be synthetical unlike description) - hairbands in the corners hold the duvet in place nicely, you don't need to fish for it inside the cover every morning.

Children's duvet set, 27 May 2013

Whilst my grandson is pleased to have a duvet showing his favourite cartoon characters, I dislike the feel of this product & would be more careful to purchase a duvet cover made from natural fibre in future.

Not as described, 15 July 2013

although the description says this product is 52% polyester and 48% cotton, it is not, it is actually 100% polyester microfiber
