King-sized duvets are never big enough. Why?

Comments (10)Yes, to what okmoreh and homemaker have posted... I think the reason we think often hear people refer to the cover as the "duvet" is because we have another English word for "comforter", so we assume duvet is the cover. I believe that duvet is the French word meaning a quilt that's usually down-filled (or comforter). So what we do is then cover them, so we can wash the cover without having to wash the comforter (duvet) as often... hence "duvet cover". Speaking of which I just bought a new one myself and love them. And I'm with redbazel on how to keep them from shifting around. I don't find they do it that much, but when I make the bed, I just grab the corners of both the cover and duvet inside and lift the whole thing, and it fluffs the down nicely and keeps the duvet from shifting. I've never found a need to use the ties, but I guess they wouldn't hurt unless they make a lump in the corner....See MoreComforter or duvet cover for this bed?
Comments (11)I agree that it looks like a duvet, but you could always use a comforter. JCPenney has nice solid colored duvets and comforters. I notice alot of comforters are reversible with a tan one side, another color on the other.

Comments (16)I purchased a wool mattress pad that saved my sanity. Helps DH feel warm and keeps me cool. Never would have believed that possible! I have a sheet, empty duvet cover, and a quilt for DH on colder nights. The thought of flannel is making me break out in a sweat, right now! I've been revamping/testing our guest room and found it quite chilly during cold snaps with only a cotton blanket. I ordered a wool comforter from Amazon that fits into a clearance duvet from West Elm. I'm going to test it in the next few days, but I have high hopes that it will keep differing people comfortable just like the mattress cover on our bed. Tonight the low is 64 and Sunday it will be 39. I'll report back. DH won't be happy that I'm bunking in there again, but I've made a few discoveries that I need to address before our guests stay overnight. Gosh! I didn't even address the bohemian part! That just happens as you mix linens/pillows/covers between sets/rooms.
