The Portloe Woven Gingham Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set, which starts at just £15, has shoppers raving about its style and comfort, with many declaring they want to buy it in every available shade.
A Cosy and Colourful Bedroom Update
The duvet set capitalises on the enduring popularity of gingham print, offering a simple and affordable way to refresh a bedroom. It is a reversible design and is crafted from 100 per cent washed cotton, making it machine washable and dryer safe. The set features a secure button fastening and is available in a wide spectrum of nine colours: Ashley blue, black, blush, Folkstone blue, moss, mulberry, natural, ochre, and orchid.
Pricing is dependent on size, ranging from £15 for a single set up to £50 for a super king. Each set includes one duvet cover and either one or two pillowcases, corresponding to the size selected.
Customer Reviews: High Praise for Quality and Value
With an impressive 4.5-star rating from 369 reviews, customer feedback is overwhelmingly positive. One enthusiastic buyer stated, "It's great value for money, soft, washes nicely, and is such a beautiful fun and happy pattern and colour. I want it in all the colours."
Another highlighted its practical comforts, noting, "The duvet cover is comfortable and light, yet still keeps me warm. It's easy to care for too." A third review emphasised the transformative effect, commenting, "Beautiful, soft duvet set with vibrant colours which look amazing and really elevate the room. We are really happy with the quality of the fabric too which makes for a cosy night's sleep."
Considerations and Alternative Options
While the majority of feedback is glowing, a small number of customers expressed dissatisfaction with the material's feel after washing, describing it as dry or scratchy. For those seeking alternatives, the market offers other gingham styles.

Ultimately, Dunelm's Portloe set stands out for its combination of low cost, cheerful pattern, and the breadth of its colour palette, making it a standout choice for a quick and affordable bedroom refresh.
