Let’s dive into it!

So Exactly What is a Duvet Cover?

Think about zipper duvet covers as a fabulous outfit for your duvet insert! Your duvet insert is a plush blanket that fits inside your duvet cover. 

A duvet insert and cover can help you accomplish a number of different looks in your bedroom without breaking the bank! Want to have a darker, moody vibe in the winter? Looking for a light, airy feeling in the spring? You can achieve this transition effortlessly, and you can do it without compromising comfort.

Why? Because your insert is the consistent element, and this is what really provides the level of coziness and warmth in your bedding. You can keep swapping out duvet covers, or “outfits,” to style your room, while still enjoying the luxurious comfort that your duvet insert provides.

5 Reasons You Need a Duvet Cover

So what are some of the benefits of having a duvet cover? Beyond the fact that it’s a totally gorgeous piece of bedding, there are tons of reasons why you absolutely need one! Here are some of our top reasons:

1. Warmth and Insulation: Picture the loftiest, most snuggly oversized comforter you could imagine. That’s what you get with a duvet cover! Duvets also have incredible insulation, so you can easily stay warm and cozy during the colder months of the year.
   
   Another thing we love about duvet covers is how easy they are to layer over Beddy’s zipper bedding sets! If you love tons of layers during the colder months of the year, a duvet paired with your Beddy’s could be the perfect solution for you.
   
   
2. Customizable Comfort: We are so obsessed with how many options you have to customize the look and vibe of your bedroom or guest room with duvets. Instead of dropping some serious cash on multiple comforters, you can have one core duvet insert and a number of different duvet covers to swap out to your heart's content!
   
   
3. Protect Your Bedding: If you’ve ever washed a comforter, you know how daunting the task can be. Between the size of the bedding and the weight of the material, it can be quite a process getting it clean and ready to use again.
   
   A zipper duvet cover protects the most important inner layer of your bedding, keeping it safe from spills and messes. When it comes time to clean your duvet cover, it’s as easy as taking the cover off of the insert and throwing it in the wash. That’s a lot less bulk you need to heave from the washer to the dryer!
   
   
4. The Perfect Weight: It can be challenging trying to find the right bedding that provides the oversized coverage you want without ending up with something that’s too heavy. Duvets are a great weight when it comes to bedding options, giving you the perfect balance between coverage and weight.
   
   
5. Helps With Good Sleep Hygiene: Having good sleep hygiene will seriously work wonders with the quality of sleep that you get each night. Comfortable bed linens that fit your preferred sleep style will help to create a positive sleep environment, and duvets could be just the thing for you!

Duvet Covers vs. Comforters: What’s the Difference?

So what’s the main difference between duvet covers vs. comforters? We’ll, let’s break it down for you! A duvet is like a big fluffy cloud. The insert should not be used without the cover, and you wouldn’t want to use the cover without that fluffy, cloud-like insert. The cover lets you easily change up your style or toss it in the wash. 

A comforter, on the other hand, is all-in-one—what you see is what you get! It’s ready to go right out of the package but doesn't have the same flexibility to switch up your look. So, with a duvet, you get more options, but a comforter is a bit more grab-and-go.
