Can you guess the year?

In the mid seventies when we lived with my in-laws as newly weds they had the orange duvet cover and sheets, we had a matching cover and sheets but in a pink and purple colour. We called them continental quilts then, not duvets.

Yes, Brentford Nylons; we bought blue brushed nylon sheets from the shop in Hounslow. The lasted and lasted until we were totally fed up with them.

The duvet covers were definitely M&S though, I remember, because we had the curtains to match for our daughter's room.

My mom bought me one this colour and a blue one when I moved into the nurses home to start my training , first time away from home.

\brentford Linens? 1970?

Brentford Nylons wasn't it? Ads on TV featuring an incredible Hulk lookalike, & static electriciy when you moved around in bed.
The OP duvet cover isn't nylon, granted. I had sheets of that pattern when we got married but they were M-i-L hand-me-downs & only used till we could scrape together enough ££ for some more "tasteful" bed linen.

Brentford Nylons, brushed nylon sheets! 😩 1970s I think.
Hated the scratchy feel of them, especially with a catchy toenail JenniRen!

My mum had sheets like that - and curtains, too. About 1972? I would have been 12 that year

And we had the brushed nylon sheets to match !!!

If you put your head under the duvet you could see sparks 😂

I bought mine (identical to the OP's) in 1975. I also had matching wallpaper and curtains.
I made an amber coloured flat sheet into a fitted one to complete the look.

50 years ago! So familiar still.

I had a lovely Dorma duvet cover around 1975, I think I bought it with wedding present money. It lasted for years, didn't need ironing and looked brand new, though I did eventually take it to a charity shop because it didn't work with my bedroom decor.

Brentford nylons!

Seventies!

1974. The year our daughter was born, we were given a full set of bed linen in a very similar pattern, but in orange tones. I still have them all, they’re very faded in places, incredibly soft to the touch (not brushed nylon), I never use them, but nostalgia stops me from getting rid of them.

Yes, I had a matching sheet and pillow case set very like that. 1979_1980?

Yes we had one in pink from Marks and Spencers. We had one wall papered the same print behind the bed, curtains and bed linen.

Terence Conran introduced them and they were sold in Habitat in 1964.
I can't recall the change over in my Mum's house .
I remember buying them in the early seventies .

Definitely M&S!

Those nylon sheets, particularly the brushed nylon, were awful, especially if you had a catchy toenail.

I had a pink version and my sister had the same as you! I’m thinking early 70’s

\brentford Linens? 1970?

I would say 70s. Did you have nylon sheets to go with the cover? 😂

I’d say 1974?

Defo 70's... I was in Germany in 1966 and first experience continental quilt. I won some money in 1968 and bought one but could not get cover for it until got to big London store.

1972

It’s news to me that there were duvets in the 70s! I had blankets right up to 1982. I remember we called it a continental quilt.
