Duvets Provide Warmth while being Fashionable

A duvet is a down-filled quilt with a removable cover. They are used almost exclusively in Europe and are becoming more popular in the States.

Duvets are known for their fluffiness as well as their warmth. Down is nature’s great insulator. The soft undercoating of feathers on goose or duck down traps air and provides warmth. Down-filled duvets trap air to keep you warm. Down is also used as a thermal insulator in jackets and sleeping bags.

Duvets are available in a range of sizes suitable for twin to king size beds. Duvets are offered in a variety of weights also. The weight of the down provides the heat. A heavier duvet increases the warmth. Some duvets come in sections of different weights. They are snapped together, but you can easily remove a section for sleeping in warmer weather.

Duvet covers act as a protective layer over the down-filled bag. They are typically sold with matching pillowcases and may be purchased in designer bedding stores. They are on the high-end of bed linens and are rated by thread count. Thread count measurements determine the number of threads, horizontally and vertically per square inch. A 300-thread count should be sufficient. A top sheet is unnecessary when using a duvet.

Duvet cover sets are an excellent way to give your bedroom a makeover because there is a large selection of styles and colors available. The warmth and comfort provided by duvets are why they are fast becoming one of the most popular bed covers in America.
