Shopping for bedding can be confusing - like what’s the difference between a comforter and a duvet cover? No problem; we have all the answers. Comforters are filled with down or man-made fibers and covered with stylish designer fabric. Usually, you’ll find comforters as part of a set, including sheets, and pillow shams. A duvet cover, on the other hand, covers a duvet, which is a basically a simple cloth bag filled with down or synthetic fibers, with no design on it. The duvet cover is like a pillowcase that slips over the duvet, and comes in all sorts of designs, fabrics, and styles. You can use many duvet covers with the same duvet, and duvet covers are easy to quickly remove and wash when necessary. Oh - and you can even use a duvet cover over an old comforter. Just don’t forget to measure first to ensure a good fit.
