The Duvet Covers Guide

Anyone chasing a restful night’s sleep knows how much thought goes into choosing the proper bedding. A duvet cover is a removable layer that holds a comforter or insulating insert for beds of all sizes. As you’re creating your own sleep sanctuary, a duvet cover can be a soft, hassle-free way to add comfort and style to your bedroom. Check out our guide to make choosing a duvet easy.

Duvet Cover vs. Comforter

There can be some confusion surrounding the difference between a duvet cover and a comforter. A duvet cover does not add any insulating elements, but can protect the inner duvet insulation from dust, dirt, and extra wear. Insulating materials are not meant to be washed frequently; and because a duvet cover is removable, regular washing can be done with ease.

A comforter can be found in a variety of weights and filling, and can stand alone as the insulated and decorative layer of bedding. A comforter does not require a duvet cover—although using a cover can help extend its use!—and can be washed separately.

How To Choose a Duvet Cover

Choosing a duvet cover comes down to the size of your bed and the desired look and feel you prefer.
