What material for a duvet cover for pet owners?

I have had a couple comforters that weren’t too bad with our three cats (short-haired brown tabby, medium-haired black, and medium-haired orange tabby). I have had two duvet covers that were horrible. They grabbed fur off the cats, intertwined the fur into the material, and the washing machine did NOT get rid of the fur.
Any tips on material that is not as bad with fur? Our most recent one was 100% polyester sateen. Not sure about the other one as it went straight in the garbage.
Also, what colours might be best to camoflauge the hair as well?
Thanks a lot!

Tightly woven fabrics like cotton twill and denim hold up best to lots of machine washing and at least the hair will come out of them. Medium toned colors and fabrics with multi-colored medium toned patterns will hide the hair best but since you have cats of three different colors, finding something that will camouflage all the hair that will always be a challenge.

I’ve never been good at getting pets that were all the same color either. I swear I’m going to get all black cats and dogs in the future and buy all my clothes in black too!
