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.

Duvet covers are an excellent way to change the décor in a bedroom. You can choose different fabrics, if you want a warm and cozy feel in the cooler winter months, try a flannel duvet cover.  Cotton duvet covers are easy to launder and come in an array of color and thread counts.  Choose coordinating colors and patterns in sheet sets, pillow shams and pillowcase to create bedrooms that look sensational and are welcoming for guests.

If you or someone in your family has allergies or sensitivities to certain fabrics, there are some excellent duvet covers available along with silk and wool duvets.  Organic cotton duvet covers are offered in a range of colors, sizes and patterns.  New eco-friendly Bamboo and Bamboo and cotton fabrics are also offered.
