It is usually a good idea to buy a duvet cover set rather than buying all of the different pieces separately. Duvet covers include the cover and two shams, but some duvet cover sets include the fitted sheet as well. Duvet cover sets also insure that all of the different components will match. People who buy duvet cover sheets save more money than people who buy everything separately.

Most duvet covers can come in sets. Usually, the sets include a duvet cover and either one or two shams. Some sets come with a fitted sheet as well, but they are somewhat rare. A sham is a large pillowcase usually used for decoration. Pillows that are kept above the covers when the bed is made are usually covered with shams. The seller and the consumer both benefit if the duvet cover items are sold in a set. It saves the consumer the trouble of having to search for shams that match the duvet cover and it keeps the seller from having to constantly insure that they have the right quantity and type of shams to match their inventory of duvet covers. Buying the items in a set guarantees that they will all match, making it easier to match them with the rest of the things in the room.

Buying a duvet cover set is a bargain. There is usually a discount when people buy the duvet cover and shams in the same set. The manufacturers save money on packaging by combining the duvet cover and the shams, which allows the store to sell the sets for less.

Buying a duvet cover set is a good way to get all of the necessary components needed to make up a bed with a duvet in one place. Purchasing a duvet set saves the consumer time and money.
