What is a Duvet Cover?

Americans have a problem with sleep. Research shows that nearly three-quarters currently suffer from a sleeping disorder. The good news is that the right bedding can go a long way toward helping you rest easier. While sheets get a lot of attention in the bedding conversation, the truth is that the blankets you select can be equally important. Before shopping for new bedding, it’s a good idea to decide whether you want a duvet or a comforter. At Pure Parima, we’re passionate about helping people get the rest they need to function optimally at work and play. Keep reading to learn more about duvets, comforters, and duvet covers, and decide which options are right for your needs.

What is a Comforter?

Quilted blankets and comforters tend to be soft and thin with an even fill. Most comforters are made with synthetic fiber filling, though some feature natural fabrics. You can purchase a comforter on its own or as part of a set that includes other bedding components, such as sheets, pillowcases, and bed skirts.

What is a Duvet?

Comforters aren’t the only option when it comes to staying warm on cold winter nights. Some shoppers opt to purchase duvets instead of comforters. Featuring a fabric bag filled with down or synthetics, duvets tend to come in a wider array of options. For example, you might choose a lightweight duvet for warmer climates or an all-season or winter fill down duvet if you live in a place that tends to get colder. In general, higher duvet fills correlate with warmer, fluffier duvets.

What is a Duvet Cover?

One of the benefits of duvets is that they’re used with a protective layer called a duvet cover. Essentially a pillowcase for the duvet, this piece of fabric protects it from sweat, stains, and other damage. You can easily toss your duvet cover in the laundry along with your sheets and pillowcases.

Additionally, duvet covers are great for homeowners who like to switch up their decor. Comforters and duvets tend to be expensive, so most people can’t simply replace them when they want to change their color scheme. Picking up a new duvet cover is a great way to upgrade your master bedroom without spending a bundle. Some people like to use a new duvet cover each season to give their space a fresh look.

Top Things to Consider When Buying a Duvet and Duvet Cover

Going the duvet route comes with numerous advantages. However, if you’re planning to swap out your bedding, it’s important to know that not all duvets and duvet covers are created equal. Here are some factors to consider when shopping for a new duvet.

Fill: When choosing a duvet, it pays to consider fill. Typically, duvets are softer and airier than the average comforter. They’re a great choice for those who appreciate bedding with a fluffier feel and anyone who’d like to imagine they’re sleeping on a giant cloud. Additionally, the extra fiber in a duvet means that it tends to be warmer than the average comforter. Choose a duvet fill with care based on whether you prefer a hotter or cooler bed while you sleep.

Pricing: It’s worth noting that duvets can be a little more expensive than comforters. This is due in part to the fact that most duvets feature down filling, while comforters are generally made with lower-quality fibers. The good news is that, with a proper cover, your duvet can last for years to come.

Duvet Cover: While comforters can be used on their own, duvets must typically be placed inside a duvet cover. Not only does a high-quality duvet cover keep your blanket from getting damaged, but it also protects your skin. In particular, duvet covers are great for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Simply toss your duvet cover in the wash whenever it needs cleansing.
