Best deal for duvets?

[Rometiklan]

I've got to buy a present for my cousin's wedding at the end of the month. I was thinking of a feather/down duvet. I have no idea where to even start looking. Where can I find the best deal for a quality duvet for a king size bed? Thanks in advance.

You might want to try Sears. I got mine at 50% off the regular price. Mine is a 3 star. And I love it!!! Sears marks them down quite often! Good luck

Winners might have some brand name duvets that are pretty inexpensive. Last time I was there I saw a queen size one from Ralph Lauren for around $100.

HOMESENSE!

More selection then Winners in terms of brands!

Linen's N Things usually has several different price ranges for duvets. Plus you can use the 20% off coupon for this.

can range from 79$ for cheapest to 350$+ for a good one.

I prefer duvets over comforters.

A possible problem is that one or both of them might be allergic to feather/down...personally, I would love to get one by my g/f is allergic to the stuff so that's out. Before spending hundreds of dollars on one you may want to make sure that neither of them are allergic to the stuff.

I was there tonight, their 3, 4 and 5 star duvets are 40% off. The 4 star, reguarly 500 bucks, is on for 300, and so on, obviously. They seem like they are pretty good quality.

What the hell is a Duvet?

[feminazi]

A duvet is a fancy comforter that typically is filled with goose down or feathers. They are very light and very warm, and often very expensive. You buy a duvet cover to protect them, because you cannot machine wash them.

Good ones have a high fill (amount of down in them), a high percale exterior, and quilted stitching to prevent lumping of the down.

If you need to know more, someone else can backfill!

So, in layman's terms, it's a REALLY fancy blanket that you need another thin blanket to keep the thick blanket from getting dirty. Is that the gist of it?

not necessarily. Comforters are similar to duvets, but comforters do not need any extra cover such as a pillow does. Comforters are patterened, usually on both sides and are meant to be displayed as part of your bed ensemble. THey are all in one duvets. Duvets, on the other hand are usually faced in white cotton fabric and always needs a duvet cover. This cover is the pattern. however, some may be just plain coloured. Some can be left for display, where as others, you can put a bedsrpead over it. This makes duvets more practical, since washing it is much easier, just undo the duvet cover, and throw in the washer. the comforter needs to be professionally cleaned. With comforters, normally a sheet is placed between you and the comforter, so you don't dirty the comforter as fast. This is similar to hotel sleeping. Although you can have your body right next the the comforter though.

I find duvets and duvet covers more practical and more hygenic than comforters.

Oh man, I can feel a headache coming on.

Starting to feel a bit Neanderthal.
Now, where's my club at???

Ok, let's see if I got it right

Duvets needs a cover in order for it to operate as a Comforter but a comforter when dirty, requires professional touch whereas the cover is simply thrown into the wash.

So say, theoretically, I have a cartoon sleeping bag and use it as a blanket. I can consider it a cheap comforter since its a sleeping bag and I don't need a professional clean but if I put a cover on it, it becomes a cheap duvet.

How's this sound?

a blanket is a "blanket" term for these. ha ha.

but it sounds about right, but it still is a sleeping bag with a cover over it, not a duvet.

When you go to Zellers and buy a "bed in a bag" you get a comforter, not a duvet. Comforters are the cheap knock offs of duvets and duvet covers.

And by the way it is pronounced DOO-vay, not DOO-vet.

btw, what the heck are u doing with a cartoon sleeping bag?
