Dunelm shoppers on the hunt for a bargain have been singing the praises of a ‘gorgeous’ bedding set that reportedly ‘washes like a dream’ – now even more of a steal with a TopCashback deal. The Portloe Woven Gingham Double Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set from Dunelm, made from 100% soft cotton, is already competitively priced at £28.80, reduced from £36. However, if you purchase it through TopCashback, you can secure it for £13.30.

The site is offering new customers £15 cashback, equating to a substantial 54% discount for new Dunelm customers. Existing Dunelm customers can also take advantage of the deal, acquiring the set for £13.55 after cashback. If you’re already a TopCashback member, you can still save some money, getting it for £28.30 for new Dunelm customers and £28.55 for existing ones.

The bedding set comes in the stylish Mulberry shade, ideal for the winter season, and is sure to add a touch of flair to any bedroom. Satisfied customers have described the Dunelm collection as perfect for creating a ‘cosy country cottage’ feel, while others have shared the numerous ‘compliments’ they’ve received from overnight guests.

The Portloe range isn’t only catching eyes for its good looks; it’s also being lauded for its ‘soft and breathable’ qualities, thanks to its pure 100% washed cotton composition. Not only does it strike the ideal balance between cosy warmth and airiness, but it also boasts a linen-esque texture that cleverly masquerades as something rather pricey – all while ensuring comfort and a chic aesthetic.

Furthermore, the ‘no-iron’ nature of the Portloe set is proving to be a godsend for those who dread ironing bedsheets. Fans commend it as it ‘does not crease’, with a particular customer remarking: “Good quality fabric and lovely shade. Cover does not wrinkle during the night and looks pristine all day everyday. Definitely recommend this duvet cover and pillowcase set.”

Dunelm shoppers have even drawn parallels between their bedding sets and the pricier Piglet in Bed collection, which flaunts a £189 tag for a double set. One thrilled buyer exclaimed: “Absolutely lovely bedding, looks just like the Piglet In Bed linen duvet that I have wanted for ages but couldn’t justify the price! Washes like a dream too.”

While another satisfied customer shared: “I’ve been looking for a gingham bedding set like this for so long since seeing adverts for the Piglet ones, these ones are super affordable and look the same. The colour is so pretty with soft fabric, and looks great in my room.”

Take note that Dunelm’s Portloe bedding is made from cotton, while the Piglet in Bed alternative boasts a linen make-up, esteemed for its luxurious texture, eco-friendly degradability, and durability if maintained correctly.

Admirers of the Portloe range have become serial purchasers, with one satisfied buyer remarking, ‘this is the second set I’ve bought. Been really pleased with the quality and how well it’s kept its colour’.

Despite these accolades, there are those who feel misled by the online portrayal of the product, lamenting over the difference in colour once seen in person. A customer highlighted their let-down by saying: “It’s a beautiful set however the mulberry colour doesn’t look anywhere near as vibrant as it does in the photo – more of a grape colour in real life.”

Adding to this sentiment, another customer voiced their disappointment: “Sorry, but I was a bit disappointed with this product. Great value, good quality but colour looked nothing like the web pic.”

On the flip side, other patrons are celebrating the bed linen’s ‘super soft and feels really high quality’, noting it as a ‘great addition to any bedroom as it looks more expensive than it is’.
