Why Buy a Duvet Cover

Save that comforter!

Duvet covers are used to protect or change the look of an existing comforter. Since the covers can be easily removed and washed, they protect your comforter, which would be much harder to launder every week. Also, when you use a duvet cover, you don't have to worry about body oils harming your expensive comforter!

Inexpensive room redo

Another reason people purchase duvet covers is to change the look of an existing comforter. There are so many great fabrics and patterns to choose from, you can mix and match bedding linens and have a new look every month or season. Use a flannel duvet cover in the fall and winter and a linen designer duvet cover for spring and summer. It's an inexpensive way to redo a room.

Cover that down

Care instructions for cleaning down comforters are very specific. Since down comforters are particularly hard to wash, protecting them with a duvet cover is generally recommended. Higher thread count luxury duvet covers help keep any down that might escape the comforter from making a complete get away! Satin, Egyptian cotton and velvet duvet covers are examples of high thread count luxury duvet covers.

Push then pull

Duvet covers are easy to use, too! They work like a giant pillow case and usually have a button or other fastener at one end, so you can easily take them off and put them on any comforter. When slipping a duvet cover on your comforter follow these simple steps:

1. Push out the top corners of the duvet cover.

2. Use the corners of the cover as handles for pulling the comforter into the cover.

3. Then, simply hold the comforter firmly through the duvet cover, and shake the cover down over the comforter.

Discount duvets

People with limited sewing skills can make a duvet cover. Covers can be created from any type of fabric, or simply by sewing two flat sheets together. Since sheets come in such beautiful fabrics and patterns, this may be a cheaper way to get the style you want. Another inexpensive alternative is buying clearance duvet covers. You can find a wide selection of discount duvet covers online.

Animal prints, and princess frills for girls. Denim, tie-dye and faux fur duvet covers are popular with teens. You can also find many popular designer duvet covers at a discount price.
