Duvets are a type of bedding that is similar to a comforter. Europeans have been using duvets for many years and duvets are becoming more popular in North America. Duvets are warm coverings, like bedspreads, which go on top of the sheets on a bed. Duvets can be made from a variety of fabrics including materials like down, wool and silk. Duvets generally have covers that can be removed for washing/cleaning.A duvet cover slips over a duvet, similar to slipping a pillowcase on a pillow. The duvet cover protects the fibers/comforter inside from getting dirty. Most duvet owners use duvet covers because they are much easier to launder than the actual duvet. Duvet covers have fasteners at the bottom of the duvet like buttons, zipper or short ties. Duvet covers are available in an unlimited number of colors and designs.
