The surprising advantages of duvet covers by Jared More

Duvet covers are a very common piece in a bedding ensemble; however their role as the most versatile piece is often over looked. A duvet is a great addition to your bedding ensemble and it will quickly become the "hardest working" part of the set. Once you add a duvet to your bedding set you will soon realize their indispensability. A quality duvet will allow for quick and inexpensive style changes, ease of cleaning and summer/winter comfort.

Today's bedding manufacturers have realized the importance of duvet covers and many offer duvets in identical patterns as their comforters. Thomasville's bedding ensembles all offer duvets which match their bedspreads. Croscill and Veratex also offer several bedroom sets with duvets. Dakotah Creative Home Furnishing specializes in duvets, so if you are in the market Dakotah is a brand you can't afford to pass up.

One of the benefits of investing in a quality duvet cover is the ease of cleaning. Rather than losing your entire comforter while it is being cleaned you can simply strip the duvet and throw it in the wash or send it to the dry cleaner. Many people even purchase two duvets so that they can still cover their comforter while the duvet is being washed. Duvets are usually less expensive than comforters and using them also can save you money in the long run by protecting your investment.

A quality down or synthetic comforter comes at a decent price. The price you pay for the comforter results in many years of good use and by protecting the surface with a duvet you will add years to the life of the comforter. Another point is that because of the price of a quality comforter, when you get the idea to redecorate your bedroom, you may not be crazy about purchasing a whole new bed set. Duvet covers especially by companies such as Thomasville and Dakotah can be purchased in a wide variety of patterns and styles. This makes it easy to purchase a duvet with a look which matches your new design, rather than purchasing a whole new comforter.

In summer and winter, duvets also prove useful. In the summer a duvet can be used by itself as a lightweight bed sheet. In most climates in the United States a duvet will do on summer nights. This is not an uncommon practice and is popular in Europe, where a natural fiber duvet is often used in place of a top sheet. In winter a duvet adds an extra layer to provide warmth and provides an insulating air pocket which holds in heat as well. Buying a duvet made with natural fibers such as silk, cotton or linen provides a comfortable covering which is easy to use year round.
