Keep reading to learn more about duvet covers and discover tips on choosing the best option for your needs and taste.
What Is a Duvet?
Before you can determine whether to swap out your comforter for a duvet and duvet cover, it pays to do your homework. Although the words duvet and comforter are often used interchangeably, the truth is they have some key differences. While a comforter typically refers to a thick, quilted blanket, a duvet is a soft, flat bag filled with down, feathers, wool, or synthetics. Although duvets originated in Europe, today they’re widely used to keep sleepers throughout the United States warm and cozy.
What Is a Duvet Cover?
Just about everyone uses a pillowcase to protect their complexion while extending the life of their pillow. But not everyone uses a duvet cover, or even knows the purpose of this item. Just as a pillowcase protects a pillow, a duvet cover keeps your bedding clean while protecting your skin from dust and dander. The best duvet covers fit snugly over a duvet. Additionally, duvet covers often feature ties to hold the duvet in place, so it doesn’t roll down in the middle of the night. Easy to remove and switch, duvet covers are typically lightweight and washable, so you can toss them in the laundry with your sheets.
Benefits of a Duvet Cover
Thinking about swapping out your comforter for a duvet and duvet cover? Rest assured duvet covers offer numerous benefits to both your bedding and your overall health. Here are just a few of the reasons sleep experts recommend covering your duvet.
Protect Your Bedding
One of the best reasons to invest in a duvet cover is that it protects your duvet for the long haul. It’s no secret that washing a comforter too often can result in wear and damage. Unfortunately, unlaundered comforters are often a breeding ground for dust, dander, pet hair, body oil, and general allergens. Additionally, hair and makeup products can build up on comforters and other bedding items. When you invest in a duvet cover, you can wash it as often as you wish, thereby protecting your duvet or comforter. For best results, launder your duvet cover in cool water with your sheets and pillowcases. Use a gentle detergent on your Egyptian cotton bedding and either hang it on the line or tumble dry it on the low setting.
Protect Your Skin
Just as a duvet cover keeps your duvet in good condition, it can also protect your skin and hair. Do you sleep alongside pets? Suffer from allergies or skin sensitivities? Experience acne? An Egyptian cotton duvet cover prevents potentially harmful substances from penetrating your comforter. And because you can wash these pieces as desired, dust and dander are less likely to build up and impact your complexion. The end result is that your skin stays healthy and beautiful.
Redecorate With Ease
Just because you love your bedroom colors today doesn’t mean you’ll feel the same in a year or two. One of the benefits of using a duvet cover is that you can swap it out easily and affordably. On the other hand, buying a new comforter when you want a change of pace tends to be more expensive. You can even purchase a few different duvet covers and swap them out based on the time of year or your whims from week to week.
