So, I got my very first duvet and I’m pretty pleased. It’s fluffy and soft and seems really nice.
Though, while it is machine washable, the instructions say it should be washed in a commercial sized machine. The kind that opens in the front and doesn’t have a mid-section agitator. Which means I didn’t wash it the way I wanted to, and that leaves me a little 😬 But I did throw it in the dryer on high for 20 minutes, which should have killed anything that might possibly be killable.
I did wash the duvet cover, which was a matching white color and feels kind of like fresh sheets after being washed. My only disappointment is that in my naivety I didn’t know I should be looking for covers that come with 8 ties, rather than the 4 corner ties I ended up with. So I had to kind of move everything around inside the cover to spread the duvet out, when if the cover had had 8 ties I could have just tied the duvet in, zipped it up, then shaken it out and it would have spread itself out with no risk of shifting inside the cover.
Lesson learned.
All my future duvet covers will have 8 ties rather than 4.
Still. I like that it looks like a big puffy white cloud. I’ll probably get different colored covers in the future, but it’s nice to have one simple, pretty white one. It’ll likely be covered by black and brown cat hairs in the not-too-distant future but oh well. That’s life with cats.
