It’s no secret that most luxurious, resort-worthy bedding comes with a resort-worthy price tag. Opulent satin sheets, linen duvets, silk pillowcases—it takes major mula to create a dreamy bedscape worthy of a Pinterest board or design blog. Or does it?
Quince doesn’t think so. Not just with bedding, but with apparel, too. From wallet-friendly cashmere sweaters and chic everyday sneakers to washable silk pajamas, the ethical luxury brand makes apparel and accessories that are premium quality and affordable. But, back to the bedding—its home goods are not something to sleep on. Just take the Mongolian Cashmere Cotton Duvet Cover ($150), the star of Quince’s new line of accessible cashmere and cotton bedding that is *less than half* the price of other comparable cashmere bedding options. Because beauty rest shouldn’t break the bank.
Sizes: Full/Queen – King/Cal King

Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Cotton Duvet is as plush as it sounds. Made of a dreamy, cotton-cashmere blend, the machine-washable duvet cover gives the best of both worlds—the lightweight breathability of cotton, and the cozy softness of cashmere, which means hot and cold sleepers will adore it.
As a warm sleeper myself, I was mildly worried that cashmere bedding would trigger a gnarly bout of night sweats, but I (thankfully) couldn’t have been more comfortable cuddling in it. Quince’s cashmere-cotton blend doesn’t have that fuzzy, sometimes stuffy feel you might associate with other cashmere items, while the cotton has an airy coolness to it, so I get all the warm coziness I crave when crawling into bed, without overheating throughout the night. When colder temps inevitably roll around again, the cashmere’s naturally insulating effect will have me covered (no pun intended). At the end of the day, cozying up under this Quince duvet’s cashmere-cotton goodness feels like bundling up in a fluffy, cartoon cloud.
Quince’s ethical manufacturing process helps me sleep good at night, too. All of its cashmere is humanely sourced from Mongolian goats and is completely collected in a non-harmful way (you can read all about it, here.) The premium cotton is Oeko-Tex® certified, which essentially means that it’s been tested for Oeko-Tex’s list of 350+ harsh substances, and is non-GMO and pesticide-free.
As far as aesthetics are concerned, the impact of a good duvet cover on bedroom decor can’t be overstated. Before the Mongolian Cashmere Cotton Duvet, I had been sleeping on a bare white comforter; its pearly white fabric devolved into a pilled, drab gray-ish hue that was scratchy and nothing close to “luxe” or “lavish.” Needless to say, my bedding situation was in desperate need of an upgrade. With its hotel-quality aesthetic and fancy twill weave, the Quince Duvet totally zhuzhed up my bedroom. So much so that my husband even commented that this new duvet felt “more grown up,” which I love and agree with. The neutral hue adds a minimal “pop” of color against our white renter-friendly walls, and the fabric has a gorgeously crinkled, “lived-in” look that only adds to its lush, earthy vibe. I top it off with my favorite throw pillow, and suddenly, my bed looks as inviting as it feels.
Because anyone who uses a duvet cover knows that putting them on is a notoriously painful experience, you’ll be pleased to know that the Quince duvet has handy corner ties that make inserting your comforter inside (and keeping it in place) *way* easier. I just tie the corners of my comforter to the duvet’s corners, and shake it out until they’re one and the same. Easy.
Plot twist: You don’t need to drain your bank account to create the bedroom oasis of your dreams. Between the luxe look and feel, ethical sourcing, and affordable price point, there’s no going wrong with Quince’s Mongolian Cashmere Cotton Duvet. Try it for yourself, and sweet dreams are sure to follow.
