what is a duvette (spelling) cover???

Question

I guess it has something to do with a bed from the picture I saw.

Answer 1

Bed linens-1950s Duvette Cover This is a great Duvette cover. It is from the 1950s and would look great in a shabby chic room! 100% cotton with metal zipper. Zipper measures 28 inches long. Decorated with pink flower with green leaves and a small geometric design for the background. Measures 74 by 74 inches.

A duvet (pronounced /duːveɪ/, from the French duvet /dyvɛ/ "down") or doona is a type of bedding— a soft flat bag traditionally filled with down or feathers, or a combination of both and used on a bed as a blanket.

Duvets reduce the complexity of making a bed, as it is a single covering instead of the combination of sheets, blankets, and quilts or other bed covers, which is traditional in many parts of the world. The cover is called a "duvet cover" or a "quilt cover".

Nowadays, a duvet is sometimes filled with silk, wool, or artificial fibers (such as polyester batting or other artificial material). It is sometimes confused with a comforter, although comforters go on top of the traditional sheets and blankets and are primarily decorative while duvets are used alone.

also can be window blinds or coverings

Answer 2

In North America, duvet covers are an attractive and simple way to dress up an older comforter or down duvet (sometimes called a down quilt).

Top sheets are needed because the duvet covers are meant to be left on long-term, as they are not easily changed. This is especially true with larger comforters/duvets.

In parts of Europe, they are used instead of a top sheet, and are washed with the bottom sheet regularly. The set that I had when I lived in Germany had buttons at the top and slipped on the duvet easily after laundry day.

Once the cover was on, the bed was easy to make because all I had to do was fluff the duvet each morning and 'voila'! The tendency to split the king-size bed into two joined twin beds also meant that the duvets were single sized. This also made it easier to change the duvet covers.

Duvet - it is a sort of "envelope" that you stuff a comforter in as a cover. It is a way to protect and liven up a down comforter, or to change the appearance of an old comforter when it is time to redo your linen color scheme.
