I recently got Crane & Canopy bedding. I’ve always wanted some designer bedding to go with my fancy pants sleep number bed. Now, let me share with you my Crane & Canopy review.
Key Takeaways
I think Crane &Canopy makes great bedding but it’s expensive! Below are my key takeaways if you’re short on time.
- Great Comforter
- Perfect weight
- Fluffy
- Great features
- BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE!
If $200+ is too expensive for bedding for you, then I have a great alternative for you that I’ve tried since writing this Crane & Canopy review years ago. The bedding is practically the same quality but for about half the cost.

My Crane & Canopy Story & Review
I LOVE my bed. I know most of us do… but I REALLY LOVE my bed! As much as I love to travel, there is nothing like coming home to my own bed. If you have the right bed, (which I do… it’s a Sleep Number bed) it fits you like a glove and gently soothes you into a deep sleep. As a girl, I used to daydream about my bed (yea, I told you I love my bed). To me, the only way to go is a bed not unlike what you would find in a Swiss chalet (at least the Swiss chalet in my imagination, I’ve never really stayed in said chalet.)
- Crisp & white.
- White duvet, filled with a heavenly down comforter.
- Crisp white sheets & lots and lots of white pillows.
It would be a perfect little white nest. I can just imagine coming home from a day of skiing out in the powdery Swiss snow and jumping into my plush white cloud, snuggling under the covers with my sweetie, and reading a good book… among other things (blush). Really, that was my dream Honeymoon for years… Instead, we went to Vegas. Yea, didn’t really hit the mark on that one.
Not to worry, minus the Swiss Alps and the skiing, I can still have my dream bed!!
For years I have searched for bedding that was just right. I’ve made due for many years because I wanted a certain quality that was just out of my price range. I could have gone to any big box store and purchased the same type of bedding, pretending that I really had the bedding of my dreams. In reality I would have a cheap impostor. The fabric would be rough and the fill would be clumpy and weak. It just wasn’t what I was looking for.
Not too long ago, the folks at Crane & Canopy introduced me to their innovative line of luxury bedding. After a few weeks of taking it for a test drive, I can safely say… From now on, Crane & Canopy is going to be my one-stop shop for affordable designer bedding!
I selected the bedding that was as close to a cloud as I could possibly find… The Valencia White Pintuck Duvet Set.
There are surely some negative reviews about Crane and Canopy online but I really don’t understand them. When you’re sleeping in the clouds like this, what’s not to love?
Now, this bedding has a ton of features that you won’t find at your typical big box store.
- 400 thread count
- 100% cotton sateen
- The pintucks are sewn to perfection and will not come unpinned even when washing.
- The duvet cover has a hidden pocket zipper which makes it so much easier to use. No more clunky button closures.
- Interior corner ribbons to tie down the insert… this my friends is aaaaamazing!! For YEARS my husband and I have dealt with our down comforter shifting all over the place and creating all kinds of havoc on our bed. If you have a duvet, you know exactly what I am talking about. These corner ties are genius!
All you have to do is turn the duvet inside out and tie the top two corners. Then turn it right side out, pull the duvet down, tie the bottom two corners then zip up the bottom… It’s PERFECT!
The alternative bedding I suggested at the beginning of this review also has these features. You can check it out here:
I decided that with the new bedding I needed to give our room a little makeover at the same time. I created some custom wall art with some amazing new products from DecoArt. I will be showing off this fun new technique in a few weeks on the DecoArt Blog. Then, I added a few fun new accessories from my favorite shop… Target!
The bench is part of the fabulous Threshold collection, along with the accent tables. Both lamps are from Target as well. The one on the right I’ve had for awhile and they no longer carry it. The one on the right is a fabulous Architect Desk Lamp that I just love. The books are from Anthropologie. I actually took the color scheme for the makeover from the cover of Anthro’s Pride & Prejudice.
Just because I want to sleep in a cloud doesn’t mean that the whole room needs to be devoid of color. All in all, I adore my new room. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new bedding from Crane & Canopy. My husband and I just celebrated 13 years together last week, and I can finally say… I have my dream bed!
Where is Crane & Canopy Made?
Crane & Canopy is designed in San Francisco, CA. Then the bedding is manufactured in Oeko-Tex factories. These are the highest standard of factories that exist for bedding products. These certified factories are located all across the world in many different countries and likely help with distribution.
Crane & Canopy Bedding Features
I covered some of the features above in my rambling but I will list out some of the amazing features below.
- Highest quality cotton
- High thread counts
- Zipper enclosure at bottom of the duvet cover.
- Interior corner ties to keep your comforter in place.
The other alternative has very similar features but for half the cost.
Is Crane & Canopy Bedding Worth The Cost?
If you can’t tell by now, I love my Crane & Canopy bedding and Duvet. It’s designer, it’s fluffy, and it’s amazing overall. The main question you probably have is if it’s worth the cost. After all, it is a bit expensive and there are some bad Crane & Canopy reviews out there online. In my humble opinion, it’s 100% worth it but you can also get something similar for half the price. You sleep in your bed every night. If there’s one thing you should spend a bit of extra money on it’s a comfy and fluffy bed. You’ll get a better night’s sleep and wake up thinking you’re in a chalet.
What’s your dream bed? Do you have it yet? If not, I highly recommend you head over to Crane & Canopy and check out their entire line of designer bedding. Tell them WhipperBerry sent ya! However, if that’s too expensive you can get an alternative here:

Linda says
Nice makeover, Heather! Looks great!
Sheena says
I love, love, love your duvet. It's so luxurious!
Susanne says
I am interested if you bought the Crane and Canopy comforter? I found my duvet but now I'm trying to determine how to stuff it ! I don't need overly warm – but I like the look of loft
Thanks.
Autumn says
HI!
I am looking into buying this duvet cover and was wondering how it has held up over the last 9 months!
Heather says
Autumn, I’ve used it for the entire 9 months and I still love it. You do have to be careful when you pull on it when making the bed because you can possibly pull the pin tucks out. That hasn’t happened to us, but I have heard a few pops of thread when I have pulled on it to make the bed. Other than that, the color and the quality of the duvet is exceptional. I LOVE how my down comforter stays in place. I’ve had duvet covers that I’ve had to fight with and I’ve never had this issue with this one at all. I would purchase another one in a heartbeat.

Mackenzie says
Hi! I just had a quick question, is the bedding extremely warm? I bought a cotton duvet cover similar to this from Target and I don’t know what it is, but it keeps in body heat like no other. That’s great for some people but for an Arizona summer that is not ideal. I was looking for something close to Egyptian cotton (cooler temperature wise) and this was as close as I could get. Thoughts?
Heather says
Mackenzie-
I tend to sleep hot as well. I use the sheets and a light blanket during the summer months but the duvet and it’s insert is perfect for the winter months.
