Egyptian Cotton Duvet Covers

Just what is a duvet? A simple question without a simple answer. It depends on who you're

talking to.

Is a comforter the same as a duvet? Though many people in the United States think they are,

traditionally comforters and duvets aren’t comforters and duvets are different, at least from a

traditional standpoint. Traditionally speaking, a duvet is used as the sole covering a sleeping

person has in bed, but a comforter goes on top of a sheet, and sometimes over a blanket, too.

Down under, Australians originally called a duvet a “continental quilt,” and today a duvet is

often called a “doona.” In parts of Europe, any thick blanket is apt to be called a duvet.

The word “duvet” is French for “down,” and the original duvets were made in France out of

eider duck down.

Because duvets weren't used with

, they tended to get dirty quickly.

That, combined with the fact that down feathers bunch up when washed in water and thus lose

much of their insulating value, soon led people to begin to use duvet covers.

Today, with the invention of synthetic fill materials that are machine washable, duvets aren't

always filled with down, so duvet covers aren't quite as crucial. But it's still much easier to wash

a duvet cover than a duvet or a comforter. And, since duvet covers come in such a wide range

of colours and designs, it's much easier to match up a duvet cover with your bedroom theme

than a duvet. And you can also just change colours or styles when the mood hits you. Getting a

new duvet cover is a great way to do a mini-remodel of your bedroom without breaking the

bank.

Duvet covers come in a variety of fabrics, but many people consider duvet covers made of

Egyptian cotton to be the best. Because of its comfortable feel, Egyptian cotton

is

referred to as the “king of all cottons.”

Egyptian cotton is made from premium cotton famous for its long fibres (staples). The extra

length of these fibres allows the cotton to be much finer than that of other types of cotton,

which makes for fabric with a higher thread count. The higher the thread count is, the more

tightly wound the weave is and the softer and smoother the fabric will feel.

Because they're so soft, it’s natural to think that Egyptian cotton duvet covers must be weak.

Not true at all. Egyptian cotton

material is stronger than other varieties

because the threads are lengthier and more tightly bunched together than in other cottons.

This smaller, yet stronger, yarn creates a fabric that is stronger and lighter in weight, and also

breathes well.

Egyptian cotton is entirely picked by hand, guaranteeing the highest levels of purity. Unlike

machine picking, hand picking puts no stress on the staples, leaving the fibres straight and

unharmed.

With a reasonable amount of care, an Egyptian cotton duvet cover can retain its distinguished

look and comfort for decades.
