“Duvet” is the French word for the down of birds, the under-feathers that have no spine.
A duvet cover is like a huge pillowcase for your comforter. Duvet covers can be changed as ofter as you want to wash them or whenever you change the style of your bedding. They open on one end for inserting the comforter. To put the duvet cover on, turn it inside out, place it at one end of your comforter, than pull it up over the comforter, turning it right-side out as you go.
You’ll find duvet covers in sizes to fit all comforters. They are sold in similar sizes as all other bedding, they are ofter generously sized to accommodate your particular comforter. The approximate duvet cover sizes are:
- Twin: 63 inches x 85 inches to 68 inches x 88 inches
- Full/Queen: 85 inches x 91 inches to 90 inches x 92 inches
- King: 104 inches x 92 inches to 106 inches x 92 inches
- California King: 102 inches x 99 inches
Duvet covers come in thread counts (TC or tc) just as sheets do. Thread count indicates the number of threads in each square inch the fabric. You can find duvet covers with thread counts from 100 to 1000 and even higher. A 300 TC Cotton Duvet Cover is good for a quality duvet cover, but the higher the thread count you buy, for more expensive it will be, and the softer the material it will be.
