What Is a Duvet Cover Set?
When shopping for new bedding for your bedroom, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all your options and how they all work. It can be tricky trying to find that perfect balance between style, comfort, and price!
A duvet cover set may be the perfect solution! With sheets and comforters and everything in between to choose from, we can help make it a little easier. Duvet cover sets are comfortable, breathable, and the perfect way to get that good night’s sleep you’ve been dreaming of.
So what is a duvet cover set? We'll walk you through it and help you make a decision.
What Is a Duvet Cover Set?
A duvet cover set is a lightweight bedding solution with real down feathers or a down alternative. When you search for "duvet set" online, you'll find numerous images of big plush blankets draped over beds. A duvet cover set can be a dreamy addition that brings a high-end, luxurious feel to your bedding, reminiscent of the comfort and opulence of expensive hotels.
So what comes with a duvet cover set? A duvet cover set typically includes an insert and a cover, with the duvet insert serving as the lofty blanket inside the cover. The duvet cover acts as a protective shell, encasing your beloved duvet like how pillowcases cover your pillows. Some duvet cover sets include both the duvet and cover, while others offer just the cover.
Duvet Cover vs. Comforter
When considering the difference between a duvet and a comforter, you’ll find a distinct difference. A comforter is one item stitched together. They have a similar feel to a duvet cover set and usually contain down feathers or a down alternative. The big difference is that a comforter doesn't need a cover.
Benefits of a Duvet Cover Set
Protective Layer
The cover acts as a protective layer, protecting your comforter from dust, dirt, body oil, and bacteria. While most individuals attempt to preserve their comforter with a top sheet, it can be challenging at night as it moves around and rarely stays in one place.
Top sheets also make it harder to make your bed in the mornings. With a duvet cover set, you can get the peace of mind you need that your favorite comforter is clean and protected.
Increasing the Longevity of your Comforter
Comforters can be expensive, and when you invest in one, it’s easy to expect that it will last forever. However, if you don't have a protective top sheet or a protective layer, your comforter may look worn down after a few years. A duvet set protects you from normal wear and tear, increases your investment's longevity, and saves you time and money.
Make The Comforter Cozier
Certain duvet sets can be more comfortable than a comforter itself! Decorative comforters or those made with rough polyester may not always provide optimal comfort. Duvet cover sets give you a luxurious, lofty bedding setup, creating that dreamy, cozy vibe you’ve been dreaming of!
Easy to Clean and Maintain
We’ve all endured the struggle of washing a comforter. It’s big and bulky, sometimes it makes your washing machine make scary noises, and when it comes time to dry it, it can take multiple cycles to get all the moisture out, and even then you may have to lay it out to dry.
With duvet covers, those challenges are taken care of. You only have to wash the cover, and because the insert, which contains all of the filling and loft, is not part of the washing process, you’ll save time that would have otherwise been spent on those numerous drying cycles!
Great for Layering and Seasonal Styling
Because of the down feathers used in inserts, duvet cover sets offer excellent insulation. This means that they help trap heat, keeping you nice and cozy and keeping the cold out.
This also means that they are ideal for layering! No one wants to part ways with their Beddy’s sets, but never fear. Duvets layer beautifully over zipper bedding sets, as well as our zipper sheet sets, giving you a pulled together look with just the right amount of warmth during those colder times of the year.
Is a Duvet Cover Set Right For Me?
Wondering if a duvet cover set us the right bedding choice for you? Here are a few common indicators a duvet could be your perfect option!
You Consistently Want to Update Your Bedroom
Always chasing a new look or vibe in your bedroom? Investing in a duvet cover set is the perfect way to go! Start with one duvet cover and insert, and then keep investing in new duvet covers to keep your space looking fresh.
Not only does that satisfy your need to explore new styles, but duvet covers take up less space than a traditional comforter, so you won’t have to worry about your bedroom updates taking up too much room in your closet when not in use.
You Love Layering
Can’t get enough layers on your bed? If you love to play around with zipper bedding, comforters, throw blankets and beyond, duvets are the perfect addition to your layering set up!
You Tend to Sleep Cold
Because of how great duvets are at retaining heat in and keeping you nice and warm, it’s the perfect option for people you tend to sleep cold. The last thing you want is to wake up shivering in the night, and a cozy duvet cover set is the best way to make sure that doesn’t happen.
