Duvet Bedding - What They Are and What They Do For You


What is a Duvet Cover or Duvet Bedding anyways? Maybe you know but then again maybe you didn't know but unsure how it even concerned you. Duvets usually come in two different main versions, which are either ties or buttons to close up neatly. A duvet is much like the common comforter that they filled with some form of stuffing such as down, feathers, or wool. This helps to create a warm bed covering that takes the place of quilts and bedspreads. However the big difference from comforters are that they are very similar to large pillowcases for your bed. Thus much easier to take care of and keep fresh. Thus great use of your hard earned money.

That desired warmth can usually come at a price due to the stuffing of the comforter/duvet. Washing instructions can be quite detailed and limit what you really can do with comforters. In some cases taking to a laundromat is the only alternative. Since the invention of these covers, they allow for easier and cheaper care and quicker turnaround to get this great looking Duvet back on your bed. Being able to be washed right at home with your other bedding items is a huge advantage. And just like normal comforters, duvets are typically made with the same material such as cotton, silks or any other blend composition. Keep in mind that they also do a decent job of protecting your bed from dust and dirt.

So can be more of a plus for those with allergies. Duvets are wonderful as they keep you warm during the cold winter months but are the opposite to cool off when the weather gets hot. So perfect for all seasons as long as you want that type of design for both ends of the year. The beauty of it is not much effort to change around which Duvet you will be using. Sometimes that very much needed change to make you feel at home again in your own bedroom. Luxury bed linen at reasonable prices always a plus in obtaining that feel or look you are desiring. You may decide to go all out and look for the goose down quality, reversible chenille with the frilly extras, or an all silk duvet bedding. It is all dependent upon you and your loved ones and what your vision is for that desired atmosphere.

As mentioned in one of our previous articles, these duvets can be reversible which is a great way to change the feel/atmosphere of your bedroom. Bedding is a great way to express oneself and a relatively inexpensive way of redecorating a boring bedroom. In most cases the Duvet cover is purchased as part of a complete bed set with sheets and all, but in some cases can be purchased separately. Although your bed sheets will usually get worn out sooner than your Duvet cover, but is an alternative if looking to change up your room a little bit without getting a new bed set. Thread count can be another area of decision as the higher the number, the better quality it is. Hence why the price usually goes up as the thread count goes up. Again may not be what will typically drive you to something, but can only add to the decision making process. We'll go into more detail about thread counts in a later article.

Nothing is completely perfect, thus the same can be said for Duvet covers. This especially prevalent in the King size version where making the bed can be a little bit more difficult. Of course it all depends on how perfect you want everything to lay as well. As it can take a little extra work to get the cover to lay comfortably over the Duvet and the rest of the bed, but then again a normal comforter can do similar results with the bed sheets as well. So it really isn't the deciding factor but can help in figuring out what will work best for your new bedroom look.

The duvet bedding is a quite useful bedding accessory that some absolutely love for all of the above reasons and then some that is sometimes overlooked by comforters. The main thing is what you think and of course if you love it, then you will feel more comfortable in the room where you should be. There are many reasonable options out there to create your desired look and feel and even want to show it off as a highlight of your house. So now you understand what duvets are and what type of value they can mean to you. ( By AJ Wall )
