![]() Since I tend to play tug-of-war with my bedding in the summer, I sometimes find my duvet has shifted within the cover during my slumber. I also really appreciated that this duvet had a zipper closure, which saved me the extra hassle of having to secure a row of buttons. My trusty Sijo duvet insert fit perfectly in the duvet and was easy to secure with the thoughtfully designed inner loops. Enter: Cozy Earth’s 30% linen and 70% bamboo viscose hybrid, which was the perfect combination of airy, cooling, and not too weight-y. My experience: Though I’m fond of linen in theory, I find it can be a tad too rigid for my liking. Plus if you’re on the fence, the brand allows returns and exchanges within 100 days, plus an additional 10-year warranty against defects. In addition to their line of very breathable, moisture-wicking sheets that Oprah described in her 2018 “Favorite Things” list as the “softest bedding ever,” the brand has expanded into wearables and hybrid materials like bamboo linen. My sleep preferences: I love using a duvet year-round and I'm partial to natural fibers.Ībout the brand: Cozy Earth is the very cooling result of one couple’s search for smarter bedding solutions to their clashing temperature preferences. One of my pet peeves with duvets is when the comforter slides around inside and one quadrant of the cover is just empty space I’m extra sensitive to this because my previous duvet did it all the time, so I was extremely happy to see that the Riley duvet stayed in place, even though I didn’t use the aforementioned ties that loop onto the Riley inserts. I slept with this duvet cover after a month using another unnamed linen duvet cover, and I much preferred the texture of this one. I’ve either gotten better with practice, this Riley one is easier to put on than duvets I’ve owned in the past, or some combination of the two. ![]() ![]() My experience: Putting a duvet cover on is one of my most dreaded chores. All Riley duvets have ties sewn into the corners that attach to their comforters so the insert doesn’t slide around I don’t have a Riley insert, so I couldn’t take advantage of this feature, but it is a perk worth noting. I’ve had a few linen duvet covers in my lifetime and this one tops the list because of the dual material: linen on top (100% Euroflax Belgian linen) and a cotton percale reverse that keeps you cool and gives the duvet cover a year-round feel. I prefer ones that feel crisp and cool and have some kind of texture-linen often fits the bill.Ībout the brand: I’ve been coveting a Riley duvet cover for a while, as the brand routinely pops up in “best of” stories online. I prefer down comforters to non-down ones because one down comforter provides enough weight to make me feel secure, and I always use a duvet cover. No matter how hot the temperature is outside, I need the weight of a heavy blanket on me to sleep well. My sleep preferences: I like to be burrowed under covers in a cold, cold room. ![]() The company also touts the material as naturally antimicrobial, which is a plus. This version, made of European flax and made in the Guimarães region of Portugal, was inviting and oh-so-soft. In the wrong hands, linen can be itchy or stiff until it’s been broken in, but that wasn’t the case here. Parachute also doesn’t artificially soften their products. Their products, including the Linen duvet cover, are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning that every element (even buttons!) has been tested for substances damaging to human health. Because I share my bed with a hot-blooded husband and a large Maine Coon cat, my bed tends to run warm, so I look for layerable, snuggly covers that I can pile on and take off as needed.Ībout the brand: A darling of the 2010s direct-to-consumer movement, Parachute is a seven-year-old home brand best known for their bedding, though the company has also dabbled in furniture, mattresses, and other essentials. Generally, that means I go after bedding that I can pull up to my ears and really burrow into. My sleep preferences: Regardless of the season or the temperature, I have to be snuggled under a cover in order to fall asleep. ![]()
