Am I Supposed to Buy a Duvet Cover Or a Comforter?

Here's what I do, but I am not in college. In Winter, I have one or two down blankets with cotton covers, washable. Pacific Coast Down. They last for years. In Summer when it's super hot, I use white cotton duvet covers from Target that look like heavy double sheets. I have nice colored sheets and I also use a bed spread: not a comforter. In Winter I feel like I am sleeping on a cloud. I keep my blankets clean. Summer, I am cool. I do not see the point of a stupid duvet cover: it's hard to get the comforter or blanket inside, and then you can not see it. I've had my Pacific Coast down blankets for about 10 years or more. They get washed in the Spring and put away. They get washed a couple more times through the Winter, and drier dried. They do not leak or lose color. They give you natural, thermal, cozy heat.

1. What are the different reasons for wanting a duvet cover, rather than a comforter?

yep, washable, but i also have used mine as a lightweight bedcover during warmer months

2. If I have this duvet cover, what color should I paint my walls? *Picture Included*?

white or light pale blue--the light blue that is on the fabric

3. Where can you buy almost the same duvet cover as CeCe has in Shake It Up?

you could try ebay,sorry i dont watch that show

4. how tacky are ivory satin sheets with a lavender 800 thread count duvet cover?

No, you are not off your rocker:) Ivory goes with Lavender a heck of alot better than Red!! Actually, I do not think you could have chosen anything else that would match better, other than white or a coordinating colored print. Sounds comfy! One thing I will never scrimp on is good quality bedding!!

5. What are the cases to goose down blankets called? I'm having trouble searching online?

Duvet cover for the down, and coverlet for the "thing"

6. what is a duvet cover????

a duvet cover - is like a giant pillow case with zipper or buttons that fits over a comforter for your bed or day bed

7. How often do you buy a new duvet (not duvet cover)?

Hmm, i do not keep a record of that. Though i do need a new one now since my duvets covers have turned my duvet pink

8. What is the best method for getting the duvet cover back on the duvet?

I turn my duvet cover inside out and use my hands in the corners from inside and turn it inside out. Works like a charm

9. How do you like this floral print duvet cover?

it is beautiful

10. Can I return a set of Duvet cover and pillowcase that I bought from IKEA?

USED does not mean opning and finding the wrong size. You never slpet in it , or did you? If not, take it back with the receipt. Was your duvet an "as is" label?.

11. What is the difference between a Quilt and a Duvet cover?

Duvet Vs Comforter Vs Quilt

12. where can i order a duvet..? not the duvet cover (bag)..?

Ikea and also try Domestications.com-You are looking for a down or cotton filled comforter-a down insert or the like. The duvet is the bag itself-the insert is what you need for the inside. If you have a patterned duvet then you can use a light colored comforter too-like from target or Walmart-works the same.

13. Where can I buy a good priced duvet cover?

The two best places I have found for cute bedding for a reasonable price are Target and Ross Dress for Less stores. Most cities have one or both stores. You will find a much better selection and definitely better prices there than on line. And PB Teen is a huge rip-off -- their prices are ridiculous. The suggestion to look at Kohls is also a good one -- also JC Penney stores. Both of these have good selections and excellent sale prices.

14. how do i get my comforter thats inside my duvet cover to stay flat-it keeps getting bunched up inside?

Get it flatten out again then put some More stitches thru it where the stuffing moves-
