I’m looking for a comforter cover for Full size. I don’t get why this is cheap, usually the duvet covers I found were above 100. So i wanted to make sure if this is an actual duvet cover that you put on you on winter.

Very cute. It doesn’t appear to weigh as much as the more expensive duvet’s.
Other than that, I would think it would be fine for what you need it for. You can always add blankets if it isn’t warm enough.

@Katniss Isn’t duvet a blanket? I have a huge duvet for winter- would this fit on it?

Omg lol Pay no attention to me. I must have eaten a pillowcase for breakfast.

You’re looking for a new cover. Not a whole new duvet.
That one should work as long as you order the right size.

Depending upon where you live, a duvet is a blanket or quilt that is inserted into a duvet cover. It is similar to fitting a pillow (duvet) into a pillow case (duvet cover).

The $60.97 price is for one twin bed cover and one pillow sham. The price for your size, a full-size cover and two pillow shams is $69.77. It’s on sale and includes free shipping. It’s 100% cotton, so my concern is that it might shrink with washing.

It would be worth researching the web site or contacting the company on their return policy.

Pretty, but I prefer no pattern. I discovered the joy of duvets while visiting in England and now own three—heavy, medium and very light, all white. I’m so glad it’s getting cool here so I can start sleeping under them again after the long hot summer.

By the way, here is a video that every duvet owner should watch.

“Duvet” is French for goose down. A duvet (a.k.a. comforter) is the puffy item that keeps you warm at night; even if it’s filled with synthetic stuffing, rather than down, it’s still called a duvet. A duvet cover is the “envelope” that encloses a duvet, keeps it clean, and gives it a decorative appearance.

That bed set is lovely. You just need to make sure that you buy the correct size for your existing duvet, and that the cover won’t shrink when it’s laundered (cold water + line drying might be the best approach).

Pretty one, I thought it’s quilted, anyway it has been mentioned in the features that duet cover is also included in the set. And as @SadieMartinPaul said just be careful when it’s washed.
