A duvet is a type of bedding, similar to a comforter. Duvets (pronounced do-vey) are very popular in Europe and are catching on in the rest of the world. It is a type of blanket filled with down, wool or synthetic fibers that is used put on top of a fitted sheet, in place of a second sheet and other blankets.

A duvet cover is a large sort of pillowcase that is used to encase the duvet and protect it from getting dirty. Most duvet owners use duvet covers because they are much easier to launder than the actual duvet. There are a nearly unlimited number of different designs for duvet covers, ranging from solid colors to elaborate patterns.

Duvet covers usually have one end that has a zipper or buttons that can seal the duvet cover around the duvet. Duvet covers fit tightly around duvets and protect them from getting dirty or soiled. A duvet cover can be compared to a pillowcase in that they both cover and protect bedding materials in a similar manner. The person can wash the duvet cover with the fitted sheet whenever necessary. It is much easier to load a duvet cover into a washing machine and dryer than it is to wash the full duvet itself. Most duvet covers are made of materials like cotton that are safe to wash in machines and do not need any special care.

Duvet covers come in a wide variety of styles and patterns. They can have nearly any type of design to go with the décor of the room. They come in almost any solid color imaginable and can have patterns or designs woven into them.
