Know Your Duvet

Article written by Stephanie Lichtenstein Ramos

One common mistake that people make when it comes to bedding is mixing up a comforter for a duvet and vice versa. This is understandable because both may be used to keep warm and to protect your bed sheets. Most think that they’re the same but if they only knew the difference between the two, then they might find it to their advantage.

Basically, the only difference between a duvet and a comforter is that a comforter is a thick, quilted, fluffy blanket. While a duvet is a type of bedding that is soft and flatter, as compared to a comforter. A duvet is filled with down, feathers, wool, or a synthetic alternative and is protected with a removable cover, the duvet cover.

Duvet covers make changing your beddings easier! For one thing, it’s easier to wash since all you will be washing is the cover itself and thus, easier storage as compared to a comforter as well. Another advantage to using a duvet over a comforter is that you can easily replace the duvet cover, giving your duvet a new look or print to it. It will be cheaper maintaining a duvet because you can easily buy covers in a set and investing in duvet cover sets is more practical than buying a bunch of comforters.

Duvet cover sets can be found in many stores that specialize in bedding and home goods. Save yourself time, effort, money and storage space! The next time you think of buying beddings, keep these things in mind.
