Dunelm’s ‘really pretty’ floral bedding ‘washes well’

Getting bedding that not only complements rooms with stylish designs and colours, but also ticks all the other essential boxes like washing well, being iron-friendly and, of course, nice to touch is important. 

While there are many brands out there that sell bedding, Dunelm is known for its affordable but still high-quality options. Shoppers searching for a set that ticks all the right boxes can buy the Darla Floral Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set for between £14-£34, depending on bed size. 

The bedding, which comes in the shade Blush Pink or Sage Green, is available in bed sizes single to super kingsize and features a floral design and is crafted from 100% cotton. The bedding is said to have a timeless elegance and offers both comfort and durability. 

According to the brand, the collection and bedding are also verified by OEKO-TEX and independently tested for harmful substances. It comes with a pillowcase set and is completely machine washable, meaning shoppers don’t have to worry about the bedding losing its colour or shape after a couple of washes.

For some alternative options, shoppers could look at the Home Essentials Soft Touch Grey Bedding Set – Double for £10 from Argos. This bedding has a sateen fabric finish, is made from 100% polyester and comes with two pillowcases also.

Another option is the Cambridge 200 Thread Count Duvet Cover – Cotton – Dusky Rose for £25 for a double size from Dusk. This set is made from a 200 thread count and comes finished with a dusky rose piping edge.

The Darla set from Dunelm, however, has a high 4.7 out of five-star rating online. One person said: “Really pretty bedding. Feels great in the bed. Washes well, easy to iron and excellent quality.”

Another person wrote: “Bedding at its best. Great quality, great price, recommend this product.” Some others disagreed, however, as one shopper said: “This duvet cover looks lovely on the bed, but creases very easily, therefore looking very rumpled after first use. Very disappointed as I searched for a new duvet cover for a while and I loved this design and colour of this one.”

A happier customer praised the duvet’s feel, saying: “Excellent value. I’m very pleased with the quality. It washes well and feels soft and comfortable.”
