Ikea does have all cotton, but it's low thread count and not top quality you are seeking.

Cuddledown sounds great but it doesn't seem to have that many options in white. I ended up getting a peacock alley, 450 TC, Egyptian cotton set from Tuesday Morning.
It looks very sturdy and high quality but the finish is not as silky as I was hoping, probably because it is percale and not sateen.

If anyone has had any experience with "peacock alley", I would be interested in hearing more.

I do plan on getting a duvet cover from Ikea for my daughter.

Sateen sucks. It doesn't breath. There are threads arguing about it, but that's my opinion.

Stick with a regular Egyptian with a high thread count. It will get softer as you wash it---and last longer too.

That sounds encouraging. This us why I opted for percale, BC I'd heard sateen can be poorly constructed though I do like how it feels.
This duvet cover from pwacock alley looks very solidly made so i'm done with the search.

:-)

It will be a nightmare when we have to pick a mattress -which has been due to be changed for
ages now. I heard it's a terribly annoying process.
