Brooklinen Linen Duvet Cover
Tester: Zoë Sessums, digital design writer
My sleep preferences: I wouldn’t say I’m a particularly needy sleeper, but I do run quite hot, so that’s always a consideration. Also, I tend to look for nice colors, simple patterns, and a natural fiber in my bedding. I think a duvet cover is a particularly great option if you have pets (it’s easier to wash than an entire comforter or quilt), or if you like to mix up your bedroom look on the regular.
About the brand: As a hot sleeper, I find linen to be a great all-weather material. Brooklinen is the “home of the internet’s favorite sheets,” so it seemed like a worthy destination for quality bedding. This duvet is made from 100% European flax linen and is OEKO-TEX® certified for chemical safety.
My experience: I have a limited-edition blush pink linen duvet cover and find it to be really lovely. The pink gives my room a bright pop and the wrinkled nature of the linen makes the duvet not look too precious. I found the process of putting on and taking off the duvet to be as easy as any other, so no complaints here.
The bottom line: Brooklinen really knows how to make a quality set of bedding, and this is no exception. My only issue is that I wish the cover came with a set of pillowcases for the price.
Riley Home Linen Duvet Cover
Tester: Elaheh Nozari, food and home commerce director
My sleep preferences: I like to be burrowed under covers in a cold, cold room. No matter how hot the temperature is outside, I need the weight of a heavy blanket on me to sleep well. 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. I prefer ones that feel crisp and cool and have some kind of texture—linen often fits the bill.
About 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’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. 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.
