In the United States a comforter is used on your bed to help keep you warm at night. A duvet is an article of bedding that covers and protects your filled comforter (they are also called 'duvet covers' or 'duvet protectors'). Not only do duvets help protect your down comforter investment but they also help to add a touch of color and design into your bedroom. In Europe and most American hotels - a duvet is the actual comforter (an analogy is what we call Soccer is called Football abroad) and the cover is called a duvet cover.
Typically a duvet is meant to fit or be filled with a comforter that is plus or minus two inches in dimensions. For a snugger fit we advise to purchase a comforter that is bigger than the duvet by two inches in both dimensions. Because duvets are meant to be washed they will experience fabric shrinkage - so even if your duvet measures the same as your comforter - it will likely shrink 3 to 5% and have a nice snug fit on your comforter. Your comforter will also likely shrink 3 to 5% if it is washed and contains cotton - which most do to make them down proof (of course other materials can be used - but 95% of all down comforters use a cotton fabric or a blend of cotton).
Duvet Cover Cal King
Typically duvets feature a closing method of buttons and in some cases zippers or ties. Duvet covers may also feature internal pieces of fabric called ties. These ties are meant to be tied to a loop on the comforter if available. Most comforters you see in a store do not have duvet loops - the exceptions would be hotel style comforters actually used at hotels as well as some fine linen store product lines. If you do not have a comforter with corner loops or a duvet with ties - don't worry - the friction of the comforter fabric and the duvet fabric will likely keep them in place (a weekly adjustment only perhaps). The one exception would be a silky duvet material which would likely not keep the comforter in place and allow internal slippage (which once again can be adjusted).
Whether you have the comforter first or the duvet first - it can sometimes be hard to know if the duvet will fit properly onto a comforter. Many catalogs sell bedding but may not explicitly state the size of the duvet itself.
Please note most of the major bedding catalogs will have a good amount of comforters to fill these duvet sizes. Please note you should also double check with the bedding catalog itself and ask a customer service or product specialist what their exact dimensions are.
Here are some common comforter sizes sold at department stores:
• Oversized Queen = 90 x 96 to 90 x 98
• Oversized King = 106 x 96 108 x 98
Here are some common comforters sizes used at hotels:
• Queen = 90 x 90
• XL Queen = 90 x 95
• King = 104 x 90
• XL King = 104 x 95
It should be noted that stores will often sell promotional comforters which are typically smaller in size and may fit your duvet filler needs. Stores will also sometimes sell a comforter marked as Full/Queen but even that can range from 88 x 88 to what we call an oversize queen of 90 x 98. The best bet is to read the law label on the comforter and look for the size in inches that is plus or minus two inches of your duvet size (where it is better if the comforter is equal to or larger than the duvet by 2 inches in the width and length).
