Is heavyweight cotton fabric suitable for duvet covers/ bedding?

I found this really cool Marimekko fabric online and was wondering if i could use it for my bedding. Also, does anyone know what PVC-coated cotton is like?

It is not suitable for bedding because it does not drape correctly and will wrinkle and crease – also if you use it for a duvet, it would be way too hot. What you could do is use an existing lightweight duvet cover and sew a large piece of it on the front – enough to make a statement, but not so much that it would wrinkle and crease alot.
