Duvet covers are an important part of a duvet set. A duvet set usually includes the duvet and bed sheets of the same design. Higher end duvets sets, however, include other bed accessories such as pillow cases and even duvet cases. Some duvet sets even go as far as offering bed slippers and carpets in the same designs as the bed sheets and duvets.
What makes duvet covers stand out from the rest of the bed accessories is that they are not actually used, but are rather put on a bed for the sake of appearance. Since a bed is a piece of furniture that is used a lot, the bed sheets and duvets get worn out very soon. When they are worn out they lose their appearance and are not presentable. This is where duvet covers come into play. Since the duvet covers are not used as much as the rest of the bed accessories, they do not wear out as much. This makes them ideal to camouflage the old and worn out sheets and duvets underneath. It allows you to use your duvet set for long periods of time, while maintain the same distinctive appearance.
Similar to duvets, duvet covers come in various different types. Reversible duvet covers are the most popular as they have the design printed on both sides of the duvet covers. This means that the two sides can be used alternatively, reducing the effect of wearing out even more. These duvets are fairly cheap, hence the popularity.
There are more expensive duvet covers made out of pure Egyptian cotton. These are much more comfortable than ordinary duvets, since they have a much softer feel than duvets covers made of polyester and cotton. These duvet covers, too, are sometimes offered as reversible models. However, they have two different designs on either side for a wider choice. For instance, on one side the duvet cover may have a striped design whereas the other side will have floral designs.
Another important feature that needs to be known before buying duvet covers is the method in which it is fastened on to the duvet. Duvet covers come with either buttons, zippers, or in some cases Velcro. Zippers are usually the best option, whereas some people prefer the Velcro due to the convenience it offers. Buttons are the least popular since they are difficult to fasten and very often tend to come off.
Finally, when it comes to cleaning the duvet covers, it is best to buy duvet covers that are machine washable. These are easy wash and dry, unlike those that require gentle hand washing and covers that are color fast. Most duvet covers are now machine washable and dryable.
