and can you use the duvet as is? if not what shall I purchase to put in it for winter or fall?

Yes, it would be fine as-is. For winter and fall we have a duvet insert. And those inserts can be as heavy or light as you want. There are a lot to choose from. I love this bedding set - it's gorgeous and cozy...especially when the insert is in it. I've had my set since Jan 2012 and washed it plenty of times with no issues.

This comes with a "duvet cover" (which means it is just a cover, no duvet). If you do not own a duvet, you will have to purchase one.To answer your first question, I use the unfilled duvet cover with a sheet during the summer, and then fill it with my duvet in the winter. For a lower-end, but decent quality duvet, try: Chezmoi Collection White Goose Down Alternative Comforter, Full/Queen with Corner Tab

This is a nice set for $60.00 but remember that you get what you pay for. This is not a thick, full comforter like the picture portrays. I use a regular duvet under it in the winter time and just a light blanket in the summer.

You can, but please be advised that it's really poorly made, so it will not last

Yes you can, I use duvet cover for my comforter in order for me to wash the duvet cover and not the whole comforter.

It's a duvet cover. You need a comforter close to the same size but a bit smaller. I selected this cover for a comforter I have and it works well for me.

It's just a polyester duvet cover. Warmth depends on what you fill in this cover

I have a queen size bed and ordered the queen size duvet. I have a queen size down duvet filler inside the duvet. My comforter is the top layer on the bed over that. My top layer comforter would not fit inside the duvet. It probably would if I bought the king size duvet. It isn't really the quality I would want for the top layer on my bed. It's lightweight and soft - perfect for what I am using it for.

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!!

I use it as a comforter. It isn't for Alaska in the middle of the winter but is plenty warm for me. I would say a three-season for those who are cold-blooded. I will use it year-round.

I intend to. It's really a great comforter for the price. The one I received was not thin at all, as per the other two people remarking. It's full, fluffy and warm.

I am not familiar with this item but wanted to pass on the suggestion that you could purchase a duvet cover for it if it's not soft enough for you.

Its for a duvet; this is a duvet cover but you can put whatever blanket you like inside it. Fits a double blanket best but also a queen will work too

It is not a duvet. I live in Fl. and the comforters are too warm and heavy. I use the coverlet in place of a comforter or bedspread. It is very light weight and soft. I love it!

This is a warm comforter, too warm in the fall and spring. I use it only in the winter, also with my window open.

No a comforter goes inside a duvet. It is a cheap way to change the look of your bedding.

i have a medium weight comforter and for me i find it too warm for the spring and fall. try a lightr wieght that would probably work out best.

Hello K. Green-I wouldn't advise using a comforter in the summer. I can't say for sure not knowing your climate but I would think this would be a colder weather comforter.Designer Living Customer Service

I bought a king duvet and a king down comforter. The duvet actually has a little extra room in it.

A duvet cover is actually a cover for a comforter. So the all season down comforter could have a duvet cover over it for decorative or just simply protective purposes.... Like pillow cases
