Enjoy Luxurious Bedding with Crown Goose!

Abby H.
Look, I made my bed! My grandmother would be proud.

Thanks to Crown Goose for this amazing Duvet and pillow cover set to facilitate my review.

It’s been a year since I’ve been living solo with the kids. It’s taken me about a year to move stuff around and make my room *my room*. Adding Near Eastern art to my room (a gift from a family friend), bringing my grandfather’s desk into my room, cleaning and purging so much stuff from the bedroom and closet.

The final step to making my bedroom a place to relax and rest was to make my bed a comfortable nest where I can sleep each night.

The Crown Goose Jardinne Collection duvet and pillow cover set in Majestic Charcoal was exactly what I needed.

This cotton fabric is so satiny!

The fabric is buttery soft and cool to the touch. The embroidery is so neat and perfect.

It was super easy to put the duvet cover and pillow covers on my existing down comforter and king-size pillows.

This set elevates my bedroom and makes it look so.. adult. The subtle hints of dark grey at the edges of the pillows and duvet make my room feel like an oasis. A place I can rest and relax after a long day. Even the cat likes it. She’s burrowed under the duvet every afternoon since I put it on!

Some of the features of this 100% cotton set include:

  • Soft, lightweight sheets that’ll last through decades
  • High-quality sewing and back stitching
  • Button closures
  • Extremely breathable during the warmer months, while retaining your body heat during the colder months
  • Durable and does not pill or produce much lint
  • Total 16 loops on the duvet to keep your duvet in place

As a mom who spends a lot of her time and mental energy making her kids’ lives the best she can, it’s nice to have something just for me.  If you are a parent or caregiver, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Now I look forward to heading to bed at night, having soft, satiny bedding that makes me feel like I’m sleeping in a soft cloud. Keep your eyes peeled on my Instagram page, I’ll have some more pics of my awesome bedding set up in the coming days.
