What is a Duvet Insert?

Duvet inserts refer to the actual encasement of feathers that is used as a thick, fluffy blanket for warmth and comfort. Because of the plushness of duvets, they also provide a loftier look to your bed which becomes great for styling when not in use. Duvets come in different fill options depending on your preference, however high quality down, like European white goose down, or down alternative made with durable fibers that are made to mimic authentic down will last longer and provide more fluff and comfort. 

What is a Duvet Cover?

Duvet covers are the actual cover equipped with zippers or buttons that gets attached to the duvet itself. This protects the duvet from water, sweat and oil damage as well as adds color and style to the space. There are a number of benefits to using a duvet and duvet cover such as the ease of care and versatility. Removing the cover and tossing it in the wash will keep it clean and fresh without having to constantly struggle with washing the heavy insert. Additionally, switching the theme and overall look of your bedroom with the season, weather, or just style preference can be easily done without having to invest in an entirely new bedding set.

Best Duvets Inserts

The type of duvet insert you choose will depend on your sleeping preferences. If you prefer a warm, thick and fluffy duvet, you may want to invest in a quality down duvet like a European white goose down duvet or down alternative. Down and down alternative provides reliable warmth through the insulating qualities of the fibers used in the insert. However, if you like the idea of having a duvet but would rather have something a bit more cooling and less heavy, opt for a lightweight down alternative duvet. As the name suggests, this duvet is filled with less alternative filling for a lighter and cooler feel.

Best Duvet Covers

Once you choose your ideal duvet insert, make sure to put just as much consideration into your duvet cover for the most comfortable sleep. High quality materials like Egyptian cotton result in a more durable, soft, and luxurious fabric. Egyptian cotton duvet covers are available in two different weaves, percale and sateen. Percale is made with a one-over, one-under weave pattern resulting in a matte, crisp, and cool feel. Sateen is made with a three-over, one-under weave pattern which creates a warm, silky, and denser feel. Pair your perfect duvet insert with the duvet cover of your dreams for the ultimate luxury bedroom getaway.
