400 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Stripe Sheet Set, Twin, Taupe

Although the color was a bit off from my burgundy Egyptian striped sheets, the feel of the duvet reminds me of the percale sheets I used to sleep on as a kid (back in the 70's). Its a bit heavier than the Egyptian cotton, but in the long run the duvet will last longer, so its a better buy. Its not as silky soft yet its not rough...just a bit heavier. Cotton naturally wrinkles, unless it is chemically treated, but why would you want chemicals against your skin. I've experienced microfiber and cotton is still number one because we naturally do sweat while we sleep and microfiber is non-absorbant. My daughter bought the microfiber and she threw it out. We lower the temp in the house for the winter and so the duvet and comforter is so comfy all night and wonderful in the morning. I do cringe in the morning when I get out from bed to start the wood stove fire because it is so comfortable under the duvet and comforter.
