I had a great linen duvet cover on my bed for a couple years, but I wanted a change (something a little softer, a lighter color) and researched for hours for the best linen duvet covers.The Cultiver linen duvet came up in several blogs and articles. I loved the variety of colors and took a small gamble on the pinstripe (I usually go with dark grey) and I love it! First, the color is perfect and neutral enough that it goes great in my bedroom, second the duvet is a little oversized (I forgot to look at measurements, I have a king, light weight, down comforter), which I like because it covers all around my bed, third and most important, I love how soft this duvet is! It is so soft and luxuries feeling, I love snuggling with it at night.
