Duvets reduce the complexity of making a bed, as it is a single covering instead of the combination of bed sheets, blankets, and quilts or other bed covers.
There is one thing very particular to them, that they do not cover themselves with bed-clothes.
The duvet itself fits into a specially made cover, usually of cotton or a cotton blend.
A duvet is not to be confused with a comforter. While comforters go on top of the traditional sheets and blankets, duvets are used by themselves.
