Read our in-depth review of Buffy comforters where we cover their different products and help you find which Buffy comforter is right for you.
A duvet cover is a protective sleeve that’s designed to encase a duvet or comforter, just like a pillowcase on a pillow. Duvet covers can be changed for seasonal or stylistic reasons. Duvet covers protect a duvet or comforter to keep it clean. They typically have zipper, loop, button, or tab closures, can be easily removed and cleaned and are compact for storage.
It’s a common misunderstanding that a duvet is the same thing as a comforter, but the two bedding types have several key differences.
A comforter is typically made of a more durable, styled outer fabric than a duvet insert. As a result, comforters do not require covers and can be used on their own.
Duvets, on the other hand, are most often found in simple, white designs and are made to be encased in a duvet cover that enhances their aesthetic.

What goes on top of your mattress, sheets and pillows is just as important as the rest of your bedding. The top layer of your bed can make a difference in how well you sleep, how much you enjoy your bedroom and how attractive a guest bedroom appears to visitors. Your two main options for toppers are duvets and comforters, so how do you know which type of bedding right for you?
The choice between a comforter set and a duvet cover set comes down to convenience and style. If you like changing up the look of your bedroom, a duvet cover and duvet insert makes it easy to change up the look of your bedspread on the fly. If you’re the decisive type and already known what you want your bed covering to look like for years to come, comforters have a simpler, one-piece design and may make achieving a matching, layered look more accessible because most brands sell coordinating pillow shams.
At the end of the day, don’t get caught in the weeds of the differences between these two bedding styles. The names are often used interchangeably in the United States, and despite a few key differences, both duvets and comforters are designed to offer an attractive, comfortable exterior to your bed.
