When we went in D1 DTW-AMS and AMS-ATL last month, the duvet and pillow came in a zippered cloth bag labeled "Delta Coz-Z-Z. We'll see what it looks like in the premium cabin in a few weeks.
I would also add in response to ATOBTTR's* post, the seats in the A350 PS cabin look very much like the seats in domestic F on the A321.

Thanks. (not that it gets said as often as of late - hah).

DL Premium Select inflight service LAX - SYD 3 Nov 2022
Hi everyone,
I had a great flight LAX - SYD on 3 Nov 2022, seated in 22-D. I reserved the ticket months ago during a Flash Sale and was able to ticket Denver to Sydney in main cabin, via SLC and LAX, for 70,000 Sky Miles roundtrip. I then used a Diamond Global Upgrade certificate to confirm space in Premium Select with a Waitlist to Delta One on day of departure (which didn't clear; this flight left the gate with zero seats open in any cabin).
Service on LAX-SYD was friendly with frequent passing by of FAs throughout the flight. IFE worked fine, seats on the A350-900 basically a domestic First seat with the addition of the footrest feature (although not quite as wide as domestic First, but noticeably wider than international main cabin).
I've read the meal service comments on here, and on this flight it was the somewhat upgraded version compared to during the Pandemic, but not back to where it was before. Very shortly after takeoff there was a quick service with the prepackaged cold towel and the "Bubbles and Bites" (a quick service of prosecco and snack packet).
The main difference is during the first meal service: linen tray cloth, metal flatware, real glasses for the drinks. The entree choice on the first meal included 2 of the Delta One entree choices on the same flight, but plated on disposable plates (an odd combo with the drink glasses and silverware!). Only the entree was "enhanced"; the salad and dessert were apparently the same from main cabin. The mid flight snack and pre arrival breakfast were both apparently the same as main cabin, and the only time glass or real flatware were used is the first meal. Overall, fine and friendly inflight service; seating way better than the main cabin or Comfort + experience, and an upgraded first meal. Tomorrow I'm doing the reverse routing heading home and anticipate a similar enjoyable flight.
Pics here are the online PS entree menu, Bubbles and Bites, first break, midflight snack, pre arrival meal.

I'm trying to book PS for an overnight flight from ATL-MAD in Sept 2023. The seat map shows PS but it doesn't allow me to book at purchase. Is Delta only allowing these to be upgraded after purchase? I called and the agent offered no help other than the seats exist and they are currently empty but not for sale at this time.

Does anyone happen to know if the FAs offer to hang your coat in DPS, as they do in D1 & domestic F? Trying to decide how best to pack to travel with a bulky winter coat on an upcoming trip.

I wouldn't expect them to. There is no dedicated FA for PS anymore, so you will essentially be treated as someone who is not in D1. You can of course certainly ask if they can hang your coat. Also, since the PS cabin is not very dense and you get priority boarding there should be a lot of open overhead bin space for a coat.

Thanks both. Yeah there will likely be overhead bin space, although it's on a 767 so the bins can get a bit tight. I was debating checking a bag and possibly putting my coat in the checked bag, so that is also an option (with some associated risk of course).

the bins on the middle row on the 767 are too small, you cannot get a regular carry on inside, only a back pack.

If you are doing longer trips, DL has 14 day min stay fares for YVR-HND for about $3.5K USD roundtrip (after currency conversion).
