Amazon Basics Lightweight 3 Piece Microfiber Duvet Cover Set with Snap Buttons, Full/Queen, Dark Grey, Solid

This just arrived this morning. My 11 year old son needed a new duvet cover for his bed and he requested black. We needed something inexpensive for his room which we refer to as, "The Bachelor Pad". Why? Because he is roommates with his best friend, a 90 lb. Black Lab. Anyone who owns a lab knows how much hair is involved. The rule in our house, is that it needs to be EASILY machine washable. This can be easily removed, and washed with fabric softener to release all the fur in the dryer. That is the reason we use duvets with covers. Comforters are a pain to wash, and start looking rough after a few washes. Also, we live on a farm and things tend to get dirtier. He helps his dad in the shop and is always tinkering. Black hides a multitude of sins. What I don't know, can't hurt me.Out of the box, it is the correct color- a nice matte black. My son was also very happy with the feel of the cover, it is definitely very soft/smooth/silky. He commented on how much the dog was going to appreciate that. (Did I mention they share the bed?)I sew as a hobby and have taken side jobs doing hemming/simple alterations on clothing for other people. So while I do not claim to be an expert, I do know what a seam is supposed to look like. I inspected the seams and the one I received was properly sewn to my satisfaction. How it will hold up after multiple washes, only time will tell. I feel that for the price, and given that it was the right kind of fabric for our needs, that it was a good price. If a seam would let go, I don't know if I would blame that on poor construction. Let's be honest, it's a kid and big dog using it heavily. If that happens, I'll chalk it up to heavy use and run it through the sewing machine. I'm more concerned at this point about how the fabric itself holds up. After a few months, I'll update with how it's held up.Before it's first use, after a thorough inspection we washed it according to the care label (with fabric softener and Downy Scent Booster- Unstoppables, I believe?) and ran it through the dryer on low heat. My daughter has a duvet for her bed made from the same material, and I do appreciate how quickly the Microfiber fabric dries. This one was no exception. After the initial wash and dry, the seams were still holding. I placed it on the duvet, popped on the pillow sham, and now The Bachelor Pad is set. It does look very nice on the bed, and as a sign of approval, the dog and boy made themselves comfortable in the middle and baptized it with the dog's hair and some stray feed from morning chores. The circle is complete.Thank you Amazon, for providing an inexpensive option for a room that should probably be listed as a hazmat zone.Edit - April 5, 2019We've had this almost 7 months now. It's been washed once a week since we bought it, so roughly 28 times? The fabric is still like brand new and the seams are still perfect. It can definitely take a beating! Now that our son is 12, we're transitioning him and his dog roommate to a more mature "teen" bedroom decor for The Bachelor Pad. Since the AmazonBasics brand has been great, I ordered a second duvet cover, bed skirt, and room darkening curtains from the product line in dark grey. I feel confident that these items will last a good long time and hold up to my son and his dog. Once his room is redecorated, I hope to find the time to post pictures of the whole thing on the review pages for the newly purchased items. (I'm pretty horrible at taking pictures and posting them- I'm trying to do better!)Also, his sister's white duvet cover (also AmazonBasics) has held up equally well. We're happy with them, and I have no reservations about recommending them to others. No, they aren't high end. They're a basic product BUT they hold up SUPER WELL to heavy use and weekly washing. And if you have kids, that's a great thing!

These sheets were ordered for my guest bedroom. They have held up well, and are very comfortable and soft. Color spot on. Will order more.

I ordered this as I could not find local stores that had decent soft duvet covers in masculine colors, this is for my son at college. The microfiber is really soft and this has a lot of choices of colors. It is a low price which seems right for college as college. However upon removing it from the package it had several snags in the fabric, pulls. Since we discovered this while setting up the dorm room on move-in day we just accepted it as "it is what it is for Made in China and this low price" and deemed it good enough for college. It fits and is really soft and our son loves it. Rating 4 stars, LIke It. I cannot find anything similar on the market with these color selections and this LOW price so I am not being too harsh on the rating.

I was searching for one duvet cover with two properties. One, I wanted it to be lightweight. The last one I bought weighed as much as the comforter that I put inside it. Uncomfortable was the only word I could come up with to describe it. This one is lightweight, covers my duvet perfectly, has ties and snaps. The second thing it had to be was microfiber. I have cats. I've learned over the years that Microfiber lasts longer with pets, is soft to the touch, and stays soft to the touch after you wash it.When I found this Amazon Basics Duvet cover, I saw that it came with a reasonable price tag, was the correct color (grey), was microfiber and because a few of the reviews said the fabric was a bit thinner, I was counting on it not to have excessive weight, but would be sturdy enough to hold the comforter. Color me very happy with this. Sometimes I've been burnt by Basics products, but not this time. This checked off all my needs, and looks great on the bed (plus it matches my grey curtains, which had been a housewarming gift and were becoming difficult to match with any other color. Love this. If you want a high quality, super-high thread count microfiber, don't buy this. But if you'd like to get your money's worth and have something nice against your skin, buy this one.
