A Buyer's Guide To Duvet Covers

By: michael russell Home | Home-and-Family | Home-Improvement


Duvet covers, or comforter covers, come in many materials and sizes. The choices can be overwhelming. Before deciding on the best option for you, consider the following requirements: design, color, pattern, ease of cleaning, and durability.

A down comforter is a big investment. Your cover is meant to protect that investment, but it is also a design statement. It should contribute to the decor of your room, as it is at the center of that environment. It may be a good idea to have a designer suggest a design and/or color for you.

One of the largest items in any bedroom is the bed, so changing the design of the bed can change the whole look and feel of a room. Choosing a new bed cover gives you a quick and easy way to redecorate a room. Changing that design is easy also, just swap covers to change the mood completely.

An unlimited number of patterns, solids, colors, and materials are available. After you have decided on a color, pick a material that suits the application. There are heavy weight covers that provide the most protection, to the more light weight and decorative types. If your comforter is expensive, consider choosing a more protective cover to prevent damage from spills and stains.

Machine-washable covers are the most convenient. Just throw the cover into your normal wash to get stains out. This will be less expensive over time than fabrics that require dry cleaning. When using expensive fabrics, you will probably need to have it cleaned professionally. This is definitely the case with fabrics like silk.

Today's fabrics tend to be very durable, but for the most durability choose a synthetic liner or backing. Some materials are designed to breathe, while others are waterproof and spill-proof. You might choose a more washable and durable cover for a children's room, for example, where food, paints, markers, crayons, and other stain makers are a constant problem.

Choose a cover design that makes your room more pleasing. Remember that it should promote a relaxed and restful feeling. You want your bedroom to be a place to relax and forget the troubles of everyday life. Try to create a comfortable and quiet retreat using your cover choice.

When you know what to look for, choosing from the many duvet covers available shouldn't be too difficult. Just remember that you want something to express not just your color and decor choices, but your perfect living environment.
