good quality white duvet sets?

I've gone the all cotton route as no matter how I wash cotton/poly it always gets to look dingy after a while. At least you can wash all cotton nice and HOT!0

Another vote for the White Company. Their basic Egyptian cotton range is fantastic, good value, lasts for years and gets better with each wash."Growth for growth's sake is the ideology of the cancer cell" - Edward Abbey.0

If you're just looking for plain white duvet covers you might consider having a look at the John Lewis duvet-protectors. They are 100% plain white cotton and become softer the more often you launder them. Also much less expensive than the proper duvet covers for reasons I haven't quite understood.
I also echo the suggestions for the White Company but they are fiendishly expensive. Still, for something that could last a lifetime the price-per-use could come out a lot less expensive than other choices. Also, they're a really lovely company who treat their suppliers and employees extremely well. I once worked for them for a short time, so I saw all that from the inside. I just wish I'd bought a few more choice items on their staff-discount rate while I had the opportunity.0 -
I'm yet another for the White Company. I bought a full King Size Egyptian cotton bedding set with a very subtle grey piping around the edge about 5 years ago now and they still look as good as new - no discolouration or anything.
They're expensive, but given how long they last compared to lower quality products they are SO worth it.“Don't do it! Stay away from your potential. You'll mess it up, it's potential, leave it. Anyway, it's like your bank balance - you always have a lot less than you think.”

There's a substantial White Company fan club here!
While they are indeed pricey, their stuff lasts so long that I'm sure it works out well in the long run.
The two sets of sheets / duvet covers we bought from them was when I was pregnant - so 7 years ago. They look and feel better than when they were new, if anything....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Another vote for Dunelm's Eqyptian cotton. Also, I've used this company before and they were were well priced and delivered fast.
