Finding the comforter with the perfect weight and feel can be a challenge; this is why it is so important to find the right luxury duvet covers to give your comforter extended use. Purchasing duvet covers is an inexpensive and practical choice for anyone, whether your comforter is brand new or an old favorite.
What exactly are duvet covers? Duvet is a French word that literally translates to bag filled with down. Duvet covers have traditionally been used to cover down comforters, since there is no way to wash down without ruining the filling. The luxury duvet covers work as a protector to the down comforters.
Modern duvet covers work much like a protective pillowcase, except for your comforter. These covers slip over the comforter, and either tie, zip or button over the comforter to maintain the feel, while offering protection from dirt.
A duvet cover can be easily laundered by removing it from the comforter and throwing it in the machine. A tremendous benefit to a luxury duvet cover is the amount of space taken up in a washing machine is more comparable to a set of sheets the same size for the bed. This makes it much easier to keep up with laundering your cover frequently without a trip to the laundry.
Your cover is also a protective feature for your luxury comforter. No one wants an expensive comforter to get snagged, ripped or stained. Owning one or more luxury duvet covers allows you enjoy your down comforter without worrying about damaging it.
Even if you don't have a high dollar comforter, owning a good duvet cover can protect your investment - and many luxury duvet covers come in higher thread counts. This gives you a high end comforter that is protected, at a fraction of the cost.
You will also be able to frequently change the look of your room with the seasons with a duvet cover, without having to shop for a whole new set. Storage of the covers not being used is easy with the minimal size of duvet covers as opposed to large comforters.
The popularity of luxury duvet covers has continued to increase, meaning there are more styles than ever to choose from. Whether it is simple, understated elegance, or a bright facelift for your room, you will find what you are looking for.
Before buying a duvet set, make sure the measurements will fit your comforter. There are some variations in length and width among different manufacturers, and you want your comforter to fit properly. An ill fitting duvet cover will either have too much empty space without your comforter in, or you will have to squish your comforter in, leaving lumpy spots.
Caring for your duvet cover is simple. Find a fabric blend that is machine washable, then wash before use with a good detergent. Dry on low heat to avoid shrinking.
Shop some of your choices for high end, luxury duvet covers to give your room an attractive new look. You might just be surprised at how many options are available, and you can start enjoying your new look right away!
