Two very good questions, to answer the question “what is a duvet cover” one first has to answer, “What are duvets?” A duvet (from France) is a bag filled with down, feathers, wool or other stuffing to create a warm bed covering. The duvet pronounced “due-vay” is similar to a comforter. A duvet is like a comforter, except that it has a replaceable, washable cover. Duvet covers are useful because duvets usually cannot be washed. Water would ruin the stuffing. Think of a duvet cover as a large "pillowcase" for your comforter. Duvet covers button, zip or tie at the top to keep the cover secure. You will enjoy one of these luxury bedding collections.
Don’t have a down comforter? Then you need a duvet cover to protect your inexpensive alternative down comforter! Why? Do you enjoy washing your huge comforter? Even if you have a washing machine large enough to handle the job it can be very challenging to deal with over-sized home bedding. However if you cover your comforter with a duvet cover, you can easily wash the cover when you want. Duvet covers can be laundered along with the other luxury bedding. This keeps the comforter fresh as well.
