Egyptian Cotton 300 Thread Count Striped Duvet Set

I purchased a king size cover for my new queen sized comforter and the fit was just slightly larger than the comforter but that is OK as I have't had a chance to wash it yet. The color and fabric were beautiful however my only complaint is that shortly after using the shams I noticed a bleach spot on a sham and didn't know where it came from. Slowly more started to appear on the shams. ( I did not use any sort of bleach product in the wash, just regular detergent) The only thing I can think of is that it came from cleansing products I use on my face. I use the Clinique 3 Step system regulary and Bare Minerals make-up. It may have come from the toner I use on my face before bedtime. Sadly, I ended up having to throw the shams out but the duvet hasn't shown any marks. I haven't had this experience with any other of my pillowcases but I just thought I'd give everybody a heads up.

As a preliminary matter, sheets with a thread count above 300 are a ripoff because at that point, manufacturers employ various tricks to artificially inflate the thread count. There is no increase in comfort. These sheets have a high enough thread count to be soft and smooth, but not so high that you're paying for the prestige of a big number on the package. They are also made of Egyptian cotton, the highest quality cotton around. I've been buying sheets from Overstock for years, and these are another quality set.

Burgundy color true to photo; minimal wrinkling out of dryer with no special handling.

I was looking for something "maroon" and realized burgundy is about the same! Soft cover that goes well on a duvet. Light stripe throughout. Aired it out and ran it through a steam cycle once I received it. Looks fine.
