I am ready to order my Duvet cover. I do not want to have to iron! Which fabric should I choose? 200 Thread organic cotton, 350 thread cotton sateen or 200 thread cotton percale. Please help me make this decision!!!!

in my experience all cotton has to be ironed--my sheets are always wrinkled. I am sure in those pictuers with the perfect sheets, etc. have not been slept in.

I agree. When I used to have cotton duvet covers, I found that over-drying them worsened the wrinkling. Slightly under-dry the duvet cover and take it out of the dryer immediately, then lay it on the bed and smooth it all over with your hands before tucking the stuffer into it.

And, if that is not satisfactory, pass a handheld garment steamer over the stuffed duvet just to remove the wrinkles on top. Beats ironing the whole darn thing.

I am so-o-o glad I don't use duvet covers anymore. :>)

I agree about the 100% cotton.

However I love to iron and always iron all my bed and table linens.

Aychihuahua's advice is good for those who do not like to iron!
