What are Duvet Covers?
To answer the question, one first has to answer, "What are duvets?" A duvet is a bag filled with down, feathers, wool or other natural or man made stuffing to create a warm bed covering that takes the place of quilts, comforters & bedspreads. A duvet is like a comforter, except that it has a replaceable, washable cover, much like large pillowcase.
Duvet covers are useful because duvets usually cannot be washed. However, a luxury duvet cover set can be laundered along with the sheets and pillowcases. This keeps the duvet fresh as well. Duvet covers button, zip or tie at the top to keep the cover secure. Another advantage of duvet covers is that they are changeable, so you can change the feel of the room without having to completely redecorate. They can be purchased as part of a bedding set, along with sheets, pillowcases and add a bedskirt, all in coordinating patterns.
