Duvet cover

In the January sales I bought a good hotel quality white king size cotton quilt cover from Home Sense. (Tkmaxx family)
It required ironing after removing from the package.

I have not used the cover as yet so jury is out how much ironing it will require.

A polyester cotton mix would probably require less ironing than pure cotton.

I have pure cotton white covers, high thread count - they always need ironing.

I have lovely thick white high thread Egyptian cotton duvet covers with matching pillowcases from Wilko of all places, but they do need ironing.

Thank you all!
Looks like it’s back to the ironing board.

I iron our cotton ones - but the pleasure of getting into a bed with freshly ironed cotton covers is well worth it!

I have a cotton seersucker one from John Lewis that doesn’t need ironing if I am careful how I dry it. I’m not sure whether JL still stock it though.

I don’t understand why anyone wants a white duvet cover and life is definitely too short to iron one!

My duvet covers are poly/cotton. I never iron them and after a night's sleep any creases have vanished.

We have cream cotton ones from JL which do need ironing. However, I fold them into four and just iron the top and bottom sides. After one night's sleep they look as though they have been slept in any way!

Marks and Spencer have lots.

I don’t iron duvet covers I just don’t see the point in ironing bedding it never looks creased after it’s spread over the duvet and I use fitted sheets so the pull brings out any creases as Humberbear says too much else to do

John Lewis and Dorma at Dunelm Mill.

Marks and Spencer have lots and are probably selling them as the latest must have frock.....

The White Company have lovely ones and their service is excellent. Not sure about non iron though.
I still iron bedding, can't help myself .

I bought one from Soak & Sleep. It has ties instead of poppers or buttons and I find it easier to pull off and on. It's cotton but I don't iron it - waste of time in my view as I've got a bedspread half way up it anyway.

I have Dunelm's 100% Egyptian cotton bedding and never iron it. I remove it from the washing machine the instant the programme finishes, and peg it out carefully, smoothing down any visible creases. If it's not the weather for outdoor drying I either fold it smoothly and evenly and wait for the next door or I fold it smoothly and evenly and hang it over a clothes horse in the spare room.
It always looks absolutely fine and anyway, after sleeping in it once all the effort of ironing it would be totally lost!

Thanks guys
I will investigate M&S Dunelm and JL

I meant, of course, that I wait for the next day, not next door

Don’t get polycotton- polyester is sweaty and horrible and contributes to destroying the oceans. 100% cotton much cooler and feels luxurious. I don’t iron sheets but do iron the thick cotton duvet covers I’ve got from John Lewis. Funnily enough the cheaper thinner cotton from Ikea which I’ve got in the spare room doesn’t need ironing.

A while back I got a white 100% duvet cover (subtle striped effect) from Asda. It was very reasonably priced, washes up nicely and looks fine. I do iron it but I think a lot of people would say I'm being over-particular.

I have white cotton duvet covers, and I iron them. It's not that life is too short to spend ironing, it is that life it too short to spend time doing unecessary things if you don't enjoy doing them.
I find ironing quite relaxing, and a good excuse to watch a bit of TV in the daytime, so don't feel that I am wasting my time.

Sorry I don’t have the answer. But oh the joy of a high count soft well worn ironed fresh Egyptian cotton bedding.. sheer bliss. I’m hoping this is the last week of warm flannelette bedding. Then I can root out my white cotton sheets, ironings a pain but so worth it.
