Woods Cividale Egyptian Cotton Duvet Sets

Try it risk-free. If this bed linen doesn't meet your standards, even after you've slept in it, we'll refund you in full.

Fifteen years in the making. Designed by Sarah and William Woods, with over sixty years of linen industry experience between them, and exclusively made and hand-finished in Italy.

We stock Frette. We stock Pratesi. We believe Cividale rivals them both.

Cividale is a strikingly simple design built around two contrasting panels sitting side by side. It's a modern way to introduce accent colour into your bedroom without overthinking it. 300 thread count Egyptian cotton sateen, soft to the touch, with a gentle lustre that settles beautifully on the bed.

We've kept this simple on purpose. One duvet cover. Two pillowcases. King or Super King. Three carefully chosen colourways: Grisaglia (a rich dark charcoal), Sempione (a warm gold), and Ostrica (a soft light grey). No overwhelming options, no colour mismatches. Just a considered set that works from day one.

What's in the set:

• 1 × Duvet Cover (King 230×220cm | Super King 260×220cm)
• 2 × Oxford Pillowcases (King 50×75cm | Super King 50×90cm)

King Set: £680 | Super King Set: £740

Free delivery on all orders over £250.

Why 300 thread count?

You'll see bed linen marketed at 800, 1,000, even 1,600 thread count. William Woods, who spent six years working in linen mills in Northern Ireland, will tell you that's nonsense.

Anything above 400 thread count almost certainly uses multi-ply yarns twisted together to inflate the number. It sounds impressive on the label. It doesn't feel impressive on the bed.

Our 300 thread count uses genuine single-ply Egyptian cotton yarn, woven into a sateen finish that delivers real softness, real breathability, and real durability. Not a manufactured number.
