Marten Carlson: Hey, guys, Marten here from Mattress Clarity. Are you looking for a luxury
duvet cover but you don't want to spend too much money? Do you love the silky-smooth feel
of sateen? Well, you've come to the right video.
I want to talk about the Late Morning sateen duvet cover. I want to talk about its design,
my experience with it, who it's a good fit for, and who it's not a good fit for. Is it
the right fit for you? Let's find out.

Marten: I want to talk about the design of the Late Mornings. I also want to say, if
you want to see a list of my top picks for duvet covers, google Mattress Clarity best
duvet covers. Let's talk about the Late Mornings duvet covers. You have a couple options. You
have percale, sateen, supima, and a couple other linen options as well.
We opted for the sateen version because we are coming into the cooler months. Sateen
is usually better for cooler nights and the cooler months. The main difference between
percale and sateen is going to be the feel, the thickness, and the breathability.
With percale, fabrics are going to be on the thinner side, more crisp, more of that laundered-shirt
feel, but also more breathable, better for hotter nights. Sateen is going to have more
of that silky, smooth feel. It's going to be in the thicker side and more insulated.
Again, better for those cooler nights. We want to see the sateen version of the Late
Mornings.
You have three color options. You have white, purple, and soft gray. We went with the soft
gray here. What's great about these fabrics they use here is they're 100 percent chemical-free.
A lot of times, companies will use softening agents and agents to stop wrinkling with these
types of materials. You don't find that in the Late Morning.
It's very eco-friendly as well. It is 100 percent combed cotton. It's also a 300-thread
count. In terms of the overall design of the duvet cover, it's going to have a button closure
on the end here and no duvet tabs inside. In terms of size options, you have Full/Queen
and King/California King. The Full/Queen size is going to be around $139, but it also does
come with two pillowcases as well.
Let's talk about my experience with the Late Mornings duvet cover. First off, in terms
of feel, it does have this classic sateen feel. It's silky. It's smooth. It feels very,
very nice against my skin. Climbing underneath this at night did feel very, very nice against
my face, against my arms, and on my legs. Very, very nice in that respect.
One of the drawbacks of sateen is it does sleep hotter than other types of fabrics.
I've talked about this before. We live in Texas. Even though we're coming into those
cooler months, it's still never that cool in Texas. I'm also a hot sleeper. It did make
me sleep quite hot at night. I even paired it with a thinner comforter.
I still was sleeping quite hot. Didn't really wake up sweaty per se, but not the coolest
sleeping duvet cover. What's great about having a duvet cover is it's very, very easy to keep
it clean. You can take it right off your comforter or your duvet insert and you wash it at home,
following the instructions of Late Mornings.
First off, you're never going to dry clean the Sateen duvet cover. Washing it at home,
you do it on 140 degrees or less. You're not going to use any bleach and you're going to
wash with like colors. You're also going to dry it on normal or on low. If it comes out
and it's a little bit wrinkly, you can use an iron.
Let's talk about the pros, who I think the Late Mornings might be a good fit for. First
off, if you do like a sateen feel, something that's silky and smooth, this is a fantastic
sateen duvet cover. Also, it has that kind of luxury feel overall. If you like that silky-smooth
feel, definitely take a look at the Late Morning sateen duvet cover.
If you want something for the cooler months, you sleep in a cooler climate, should definitely
check this out as well. If you don't live in Texas like me, but you're up north, it's
definitely going to keep you warm at night.
Finally, if you want something eco-friendly, I would take a look at the Late Mornings duvet
cover. Unlike a lot of other companies, they do not use harmful chemicals in the production
of their duvet covers. If you want something eco-friendly, something good for the environment,
take a look at the Late Mornings.
Let's talk about the cons, who I think this duvet cover might not be the best fit for.
First off, if you like something with that crisp, laundered-shirt feel, something like
you might experience in a hotel, you might want to look at the percale version of the
Late Mornings. Again, this is the sateen version, has more of that silky-smooth feel.
Also, it's not the best match for hot sleepers. Again, sateen can trap heat. It's not as breathable
as percale. If you like something more breathable, something for those hotter nights, check out
the percale version as well.
If you want something that's going to be very, very affordable, this is around $139 for the
Full/Queen size with two pillowcases. That is a very good deal for what you're getting
but there are more affordable options out there.
Last but not least, this duvet cover does not have duvet ties inside. These are very
important if you want to secure a comforter or duvet insert inside your duvet cover. Without
that, the duvet insert or comforter might shift around inside the duvet cover.
If you're thinking of buying this duvet cover, you might want to know how to put it on the
outside of a comforter or duvet insert. It's very, very simple.
The first thing you want to do is take the duvet cover and turn it inside out. You're
going to lay it on top of your mattress with the open end toward the foot of the bed. Then
you're going to take your comforter or duvet insert and put that on top of this. From the
top to the bottom, you're going to roll it into kind of a burrito shape.
When you get to the bottom, you take the open ends and tuck them around the ends of this
burrito shape. At this point, you can start unrolling it in the other direction. You're
going to be good to go once you button up the bottom of the duvet cover.
In the end, I really enjoyed my experience with the Late Mornings duvet cover. I think
if you like that smooth, sateen feel, you like something for those cooler nights, I
would definitely take a look at their sateen version. However, if you're more of a hot
sleeper, you like something that has more of that crisp, laundered-shirt feel, I would
take a look at the percale version.
If you're not sure which one is right for you, they do offer a 30-night sleep trial.
In addition, they have free shipping and returns.
