Perfect duvet ... and a caveat ..., December 13, 2004
This duvet is just what I was looking for. The measurements for the full/queen version are 86 x 86 inches, by the way (218 x 218 cm), and since I was unsure what Wamsutta's "full/queen" interpretation was, I didn't know if it would fit my featherbed until I received the product. Fits great and the duvet is soft flannel, thick enough to prevent feathers pricking your skin through the sheets (don't you just hate that?) and a lovely color too, I chose Brick to contrast with dark blue sheets. I have owned other duvets and they are usually either silky feeling and too thin to prevent feather prick, or, thick to prevent feather prick but coarse feeling to the touch. The Wamsatta product avoids both of these pitfalls and I recommend it to anyone. Update August 2005, after the first washing, the duvet produced a ton of lint, and needed rewashing and brushing down. Not such a big problem if you throw them in a dryer but if you're like me and use only solar drying, this is a big old mess. If I had known this before purchase then I would have avoided this problem. The loose linty stuff comes off in handfulls. YUK.

Careful with the pillowcases - sweat will bleach them..., May 28, 2005
I bought Celedon, Windstream, Brick and Haze all with matching sheet sets on sale. I must agree with the other reviewers regarding the softness and warmth. The only 2 big problems I have found with the matching sheet sets so far is LINT everywhere! I wake up with it in my hair, all over my duvet, pjs etc. After 3 washings the lint problem has finally receeded - So make sure you wash them a couple times before using or you'll have lint everywhere. The other issue I have faced is with the pillowcases (Celedon, Haze and Windstream). It is very strange, but if you sweat, drool, wear a face cream etc, the color on the cases fade. It looks like someone has spilled bleach on them. I will not/have not used the Brick pillowcases, for fear of the same thing happening. Regardless, the duvet covers are very soft, warm and comfortable. They made a big difference on the coldest nights in winter. If this review helped you please vote for it...

Nice cover that gives added weight to your comforter, December 18, 2004
This cover helps to add weight and warmth to our comforter. I like the flannel material that makes it very comfortable. Most importantly, it is machine washable. You can also choose from a wide variety of colors.
