Protect your comforter with a duvet cover

A duvet cover will protect your high quality comforter, and add some style to your bedroom. The care and cleanliness of your duvet cover is equally important as the comforter itself.

A duvet cover can come in a wide range of materials, like silk or cotton. Looking at its thread count is always a good way to ensure your cover is top of the line. Ideally, the thread count should be at least 200, and blend at 50% cotton for natural softness, and 50% polyester for no-iron convenience. Although for allergy reason, organic 100% cotton is always a better bet.

Although a duvet cover is usually cotton, alternative fabric choices are popular as well, like silk, stain and velvet. A silk duvet cover should be very slick and silky, and tightly woven. Velvet covers are best when it’s 100% high pile plush on both sides.

If you want the warranty on your comforter intact, it’s a wise choice to use a duvet cover to protect it. Keep your duvet cover clean and your comforter will stay good as new.
