Duvet Covers FAQs
How do I know which duvet cover size I need?
Measure your duvet flat in inches from edge to edge — that gives you the size to match. If you want extra drape, add a few inches to the width and length; for a neat tailored look, match the measurement exactly.
Which fabric is best for hot sleepers?
Percale cotton and linen are excellent for hot sleepers because they’re breathable and wick moisture. Lyocell is also a great modern option since it feels silky and helps regulate temperature.
Are zipper closures better than buttons?
Zippers are quicker and hold the duvet firmly in place, which is handy if you change covers often. Buttons look more classic and allow a bit more airflow; choose based on convenience and aesthetic preference.
How can I keep colors from fading in the wash?
Wash similar colors together in cold or warm water, use a gentle detergent, and avoid high heat in the dryer. Turning the cover inside out before washing helps protect printed surfaces and bright dyes.
What’s the easiest way to stop the duvet from shifting inside the cover?
Look for duvet covers with internal corner ties or loops and fasten them to the duvet’s corners. A cover with a full-length zip or well-made button closure also helps reduce shifting during the night.
