How to choose a duvet cover

Size: Size is the most important factor when it comes to getting a duvet cover as it needs to fit your duvet correctly. Standard sizes for duvet covers typically match their duvets and bed sizes, such as Twin, Double, Queen, and King. You can get larger ones if needed that has specific dimensions such as California Kings.  

Fabric type: There are various fabric types that make up duvet covers. Cotton is the most common, along with polyester and cotton-poly blends as of the last few years. Another material that is becoming popular is 100% silk as it works well for allergies, resists dust and pet hair, and is breathable for hotter, humid climates. It stays cool at night and warm when you need it to be.  

Closure type: Some duvet covers have buttons for closures and others have a zipper for opening and closing to take your duvet out of the cover and put it back in afterwards. Zippers are typically much easier to deal with and won’t be accidentally kicked open while asleep during the night.  

Construction: Duvet covers are typically sewn in such a way that the duvet inside doesn’t get bunched up inside the cover. Higher end duvet covers will have ties at each corner, allowing the cover to be attached to the duvet and also preventing any bunching up.

Instead of focusing on trendy duvet covers, such as boho or minimalist options, we looked for chic options that would be more neutral and would fit the taste of wider audiences. It was also important for us to focus on availability and/or affordability, which are major concerns for consumers this year.

Questions about duvet covers

What is a duvet cover?

A duvet cover is akin to a pillowcase for your pillow, except it’s a cover for your duvet. Unlike comforters that are thick and fluffy that need no external case, duvets are typically thinner and are used best with a cover. It also makes it easier to wash – much like if you needed to wash a whole pillow vs just the case each time you do laundry.  

Duvet vs comforter?

Duvets and comforters often get touted as the same thing, when they are not. Comforters are generally fluffy and thick blankets that can be used on their own without any sort of cover needed. A duvet is a thinner blanket that requires a cover to help it be its best, and to keep it clean/easier to clean.
