Forgive my ignorance but is a duvet like a comforter? Is this something that would cover a comforter or is it actually used like a comforter?

Duvet sets are without the comforter. I bought this to place inside duvet for the comforter look. (Duvets are thin like a sheet insert give it the thickness)

A duvet is an insert that needs a duvet case--like a pillow and a pillow case. Traditionally, duvets are made of goose down, and can't be laundered, a duvet cover was is necessary. In this case, the insert is washable because it's synthetic, but you'll still want a duvet cover--it's easier to keep clean and the fabric will feel better against your akin. Typically duvet fabric isn't the same thread count as a cover, which is designed both for comfort and to coordinate with other bed linens,

A duvet is like a comforter except that there is a separate insert and a cover. The duvet is like the pillow and the duvet cover is like the pillow case. A good duvet insert has a loop in each corner; good duvet covers have ties on each inside corner so that you can tie the cover to each corner so it doesn't move around inside the cover.

You use it like a comforter but need to cover it with a duvet cover - the difference with heat preservation once it's covered is unreal. BB&B; have a large selection of duvet covers and you can usually get great good designs and quality covers on clearance.

The item is a duvet insert which is much like a comforter, but is usually covered with a duvet cover. If you are looking for a simple white comforter, this would work.

I'm using it like a comforter, but it is intended to go inside a duvet. I bought 2 of them and they are wonderful. I have washed and dried them and they came out beautiful and fluffy!!

It's a cover. You need a comforter or filler inside. But, it's great! My dd just loved it.

You could put this comforter over a down comforter I suppose, but as adj3ts suggests, it is ideally used as a duvet insert. Also, it has down alternative filler, not actual goose down, so should wash up wonderfully if you follow the washing instructions.

Comforters are thick, filled blankets that usually have a decorative design printed on them directly. They are meant to be placed over bed linens. Duvets tend to be plain white and more thickly filled. They are intended to either replace a regular comforter altogether or to be an extra cover on top of a regular comforter. Removable and washable duvet covers can be purchased to add decoration to plain duvets and protect them from dirt.

This isn't a blanket, it's a duvet. You would need to buy a cover for it. It's not like a comforter, in that you don't wash it, you wash the covers. If you had to wash it, you would have to take it to the dry cleaners...

This is a duvet cover so you either put a duvet or comforter inside it. It's a British size.

We use it inside a duvet cover, it is about 1 1/2" thick. That is not what most people call fluffy. It is not fluffy like a down comforter. We sleep with our room at 65 deg max and usually a lot cooler, and sometimes this comforter is too warm. My wife who is gets cold easily loves this comforter. Warms and weight is what you should be concerned with. If you want fluffy then spend the money on a down comforter.

Although I do not use it as a duvet cover insert, I think it would work fine. My husband and I love the softness and comfort of this comforter so we don't want to cover it up. It is so cuddly.

Hi,The one I purchased was queen size and it fits perfectly. I imagine you need to get a king cover for a king size duvet.

Yes, it is very fluffy.... Mine is also in a duvet, I fluff it up when I make the bed in the morning. The duvet will definitely keep the fluffiness down a little. but you can certainly tell you have a down comforter on your bed even in a duvet. This comforter is everything and more. Been using it since the colder weather and can't believe how warm it is!! Please do not hesitate to purchase....

I've never used it as a comforter. It covers my couch so I sit on it. That being said, it's well stitched and has held up with me sitting on it everyday and even sleeping on top of it. As far as thickness is concerned, it's no down comforter but it's ok. I think it's nice because you can pair it with a thin blanket or flannel sheet in the winter for extra warmth and keep it as is for the rest of the seasons. The giraffe printed side is very velvety soft and cozy. Hope that helps!

I ordered this duvet and it was King size. It fit over my King comforter perfectly with a little room to spare. I love it.

If you dont put a cover on it..you might sweat because the comforter is micro fiber and not cotton or a cotton blend. Suggest that you buy a lightweight duvet cover made out of cotton or cotton blend. Other than that it is very lightweight.

No it is definitely a comforter. It is thin, light and perfect for all year round.

This is a duvet cover. It is meant to cover your duvet or comforter. This duvet cover is extremely soft. It has button closures and I love the simple elegance of the white stripe. You can't beat it for the price. For a nice splash of color you can buy any quilt or bedspread to go on top of your bed. If you invest properly in a good quality duvet, you won't have to ever buy another one. We bought one from the Company Store. This soft white stripe cover encases the goose down comforter or duvet. Good luck.

It's not thin but I agree it does look thin in the picture. Like a sheet.. but it's a great comforter! We love it!
