Cleaning and Caring for Linen Sheets


To get the best night's sleep possible, you need bedding tailored to your specific sleeping type. While a duvet and comforter may be similar in appearance, the duvet is a distinct top layer that can easily be swapped out each season. Because it is a covering, duvet covers are often mistaken with other types of bedding, just like bedsheets are.
A duvet cover encases and protects a duvet. Like an envelope, it has an opening where the comforter or duvet is inserted. Once placed inside, the opening is closed with buttons or occasionally a zipper. Duvet covers are generally very decorative and are available in a wide selection of colors and styles. The duvet cover takes the place of a top sheet in Europe, and some people in the U.S. also use it this way.
