Putting a duvet cover over your comforter is the best way to keep your comforter safe from wear and tear
. It can also be used to change the look of your bedding because of the many styles and colors available today. Put a duvet cover in front of a child and they will come out with the craziest ideas on what this unique bedding piece can be used for. Let our imaginations run wild like a child and think of many other ways the duvet covers can be used to our advantage:
Beach Towel. Beach towels are usually larger than a bathroom towel because they are used to provide a surface to lie on at the beach. A beach towel can be pretty large but a king size comforter cover is even larger. Choose a striped duvet and you will have the perfect beach "towel". It may not be used for drying but it will feel great against your sun-kissed skin.
Hammock. With a durable king size duvet cover and 6-8 feet of rope, you can create a stylish and comfortable hammock. Choose tropical floral patterns or even a bamboo duvet.
Sleeping Bag. Pull out the old comforter cover when you run out of sleeping bags. Put in a comforter for extra warmth. Just make sure to choose one with buttons and not zippers. Not intended for children.
Cover Your Furniture. It is not so nice to come home after a long vacation and finding your furniture full of dust. Place the cover over the furniture. Unlike sheets, the duvet cover can actually stay in place and not move around with the wind.
Toy Box. It is not a box but can store away toys and other items just like a toy box can. Place the items inside the cover and seal it shut. Best of all, it can be placed under the bed or in the closet and out of harms way.
Santa's Christmas Bag. Ho, ho, ho, you can easily hide christmas gifts until Christmas comes or use it along with the Santa Clause outfit. Just make sure you use a green or red comforter cover.
