The experts in the GH Textiles Lab have never seen anything quite like this cover — and that's saying a lot, considering we've tested hundreds of sheet sets and duvet covers over the years. Thanks to its unique blend of viscose and linen, this duvet cover from Avec is super luxurious and comfortable, and its clever zipper system prevents tangled sheets. It lived up to the hype in both Lab and at-home sleep tests.

WHY IT EARNED THE GH SEAL
After rigorous evaluations, GH fiber scientists were impressed with the breathability and smart construction of the Avec Align Linen Viscose Duvet Cover. It drapes beautifully on a bed and pairs well with the brand's matching top sheet (also a Good Housekeeping Seal Holder!) to create a system for simple bed making.
- INNOVATIVE MATERIAL The cover's linen and viscose blend impressed our textiles experts, who had never tested that combo before. One at-home tester said, "I really liked the material and how soft it felt."
- PILL-RESISTANT FABRIC The material showed minimal pills in our Textiles Lab tests, even after our pilling machine rubbed it 1,000 times — a huge feat for a blended fabric! Also, the cover showed barely any wrinkles out of the dryer, meaning you can expect it to look polished on your bed.
- EASY BED MAKING Hate waking up with your top sheet tangled? This duvet cover zips to the corresponding top sheet so everything stays put. "The zipper system is truly a game changer for me when placing the duvet," reported one satisfied tester.
- CHIC LOOK WITHOUT THE SCRATCHY FEEL Linen has a textured, chic look, but sometimes can feel rough. By blending viscose with a bit of linen, this duvet cover captures the stylish appearance while offering a soft, supple feel. "It is very soft and looks nice on the bed as well," noted one tester. "It feels light and comfortable to sleep with!"
