What is a duvet cover and why is it important?

A duvet cover is the protective covering you put over your duvet. It protects your duvet from dirt and wear and instantly gives your bedroom a fresh new look. A duvet cover can also improve your sleep comfort, especially if you choose the right material.

What materials are there for duvet covers?

Duvet covers come in various materials , each with its own advantages. Popular choices include:

• Cotton duvet cover – breathable, soft and natural
• Flannel duvet cover – extra warm and cozy in winter
• Satin duvet cover – luxurious look and wonderfully smooth
• Polycotton duvet cover – easy to iron and shape-retaining
• Microfiber duvet cover – lightweight and quick-drying

How do you choose the right size duvet cover?

The correct size duvet cover depends on:

• The dimensions of your mattress
• The dimensions of your duvet
• Your personal preference for the fit

A well-fitting duvet cover is slightly wider and longer than your duvet , so it drapes neatly around it and extends over your bed. This prevents the duvet from sliding out and creates a luxurious look.
