The 18 Best Duvet Covers for High-Quality Sleep

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Getting bedding on purpose takes equal parts skill and intimate self awareness. Duvet covers are great because they do most of the skill work for you in terms of making your bed look put together. The self awareness part is about preference, and what type of sheets gives you the best sleep. Do you like something soft and silky, and do you stay far away from color? Or, do you like muted colors in lightweight fabrics? Do you sleep hot and require ultra-cool sheets to match your cooling mattress and pillow?

Here, we got the work started for you by rounding up 18 of the best duvet covers you can shop right now. They span the range of price and preference, giving you some boundaries to work within. There are a ton of fabric options to look out for during your search. If you sleep hot, look for linen and cotton fabrics or blends, which tend to have more space for airflow. If you like something cozier for sleeping, go for a heavier cotton or flannel.

The duvet cover is both functional, given that you're sleeping on it, and aesthetic, given that you actually make your bed every day. Finding the cover that does both of these tasks well in your space takes some consideration. Start your consideration here with some useful information on fabrics to look for, details to consider, and styles to test out in your own bedroom.

Sateen Duvet Cover

Parachute's sateen duvet cover is a great option for all decor styles and ways of sleeping. The high-quality fabric is cool to the touch and the minimal aesthetic means you won't get sick of it easily. It's made of 100 percent Egyptian cotton and comes in four easy colors: white, gray, sand, and blush.

One reviewer says, "Sleeps well! No night sweats. Super soft, washed immediately before use but has that broken-in feel. Appreciate that sateen is slightly more wrinkle resistant than parachute’s other fabrics. If you’re between this and an off-brand, go with this!"

Luxe Duvet Cover

Brooklinen's luxe duvet cover has a high 480 thread count, which makes it a soft and silky place to which you can rest your pretty little head. It comes in a few standard colors like white, cream, and windowpane, and then there's a rotating selection of colors available, too.

Maybe steer clear if you tend to move around in your sleep a lot. Some reviewers say the fabric is on the gentler side and it can rip over time.

Colored Cotton Duvet Cover Set

You've probably used American Blossom Linens bedding, because the brand supplies some of the country's largest hotel chains. The beige color on this duvet cover comes from the heirloom cotton its made with. That cotton also lends it a smooth and crisp hand feel with a bit more weight than the other cotton options on this list. In other words, it's built to last.

Luna Linen Duvet Cover

We love Soho Home, the product wing of the now famous Soho House members club and hotel chain. A lot of the brand's homewares are worth the money in our book, but one of its best product lines is the Luna linen bedding.

It's just everything linen bedding should be. It's crisp, airy, and ages beautifully. Plus, it comes in a range of beautiful colors, perfect for adding a bit of design to your space.

Bamboo Duvet Cover

Head to Sunday Citizen for everything your bedroom needs without having to do any of the work in making sure it looks cool and feels good. This duvet cover is made of viscose from bamboo, which is hypoallergenic and thermoregulating, so you don't sneeze or overheat yourself awake. It comes in fun colorways that look as good as they feel. Some reviewers do say it wrinkles easily, though.

Flax Linen Classic Stripe Duvet Cover

Duvet covers tend to be on the more minimal side of colors, often sticking to neutrals and basics, but this flax-colored linen stripe one is a great option for something that has some movement. Plus, it looks especially great with all shades of wood, if you're set on having your bedding go with the rest of your decor. There are buying options for just the cover or a set with shams.

Belgian Flax Linen Duvet Cover

Pottery Barn makes another solid linen option that is blended with cotton to make something that is lightweight but still good for year-round use. The small contrast color stripe around the edge of the cover is great for adding dimension to your bed.

Flannel Duvet Cover Set

Quince makes this set of duvet cover and shams in a lightweight flannel that is a great option to have if you like something a little cozier for cold months. The fabric itself is brushed, which makes it softer to the touch even before use.

Comforter Cover Collection

Come to L.L.Bean and you know what you're going to get. In this case, it's a 280-thread-count Pima cotton duvet cover in a ton of color patterns. Some reviewers point out that the cover is much bigger than their inserts, so you might be toying with some excess fabric.

Organic Cotton Gauze Duvet Set

The Citizenry's gauze duvet set is perfectly textured, which bodes well for both a cozy bed and a well-made one. It's made up of four layers of airy cotton, so it's lightweight without being too thin. The set comes with one duvet cover and two shams, and it's available in white, tan, stone gray, and charcoal.

Organic Linen Duvet Cover

Linoto's linen duvet cover is a great upgrade for beautiful bedding—and also a very good option to tack onto a registry. It's airy but not fragile, so it's great for most sleepers.

Organic Relaxed Linen Duvet Cover

It can be hard to have linens that feel laidback without looking lazy or undone but Coyuchi knows how to do it. This relaxed linen duvet cover comes in a bunch of cool muted color options and is made with a tighter linen weave, so it looks relaxed rather than undone.

Like most linen, it gets softer as you wash it, but some reviewers noted it might be scratchy out of the box.

Queen Duvet Cover Set

For everything affordable bedding, Mellanni is an internet favorite. This duvet cover set is on the thinner side, and it likely won't last as long as some of the other more delicately crafted ones. Still, at less than $50, it's an easy buy to make. Some reviewers noted that there weren't enough button closures to keep the insert in place throughout the night.

Breeze Duvet Cover

Buffy has been making its signature eucalyptus duvet insert for some time, a favorite designed specifically for people who get hot as they sleep. Leave it to them to make a duvet cover that adds a cool dimension without adding any heat. Buffy has an at-home trial program, where you can try stuff out for seven nights before buying.

Eucalyptus Lyocell Tencel Duvet Cover

Sijo's eucalyptus duvet cover is both silky feeling and looking, and the brand has been a favorite on the internet of good home decor stuff. You can get it in a handful of cool colors and the smooth feel with one you'll love sinking into to. Some reviewers said that the darker colors faded over time with washing though.

Lowell Duvet

Matouk's Lowell duvet cover is not for the duvet newbies and also not for people looking to save a buck. Yes, this 600-thread count cover is expensive, but it is the bedding purchase of a lifetime. The fabric and construction blows all other duvet covers out of the water. Keep it fora lifetime.

Linen Duvet Cover

Cozy Earth's oversized duvet cover fits most beds and it never feels like a struggle to get that duvet inside. It's an airy blend of 70 percent bamboo viscose and 30 percent linen. The weave is enhanced, too, which helps it last longer through use and wash cycles.

Maisa Duvet Cover Set

For something that's visually interesting but not busy, CB2's cotton slub duvet cover is a solid option. The cool, textured brown adds dimension to a bed without having to go with a pattern you'll get sick of or a color that's hard to match.

How to Choose Duvet Cover Material

This is the biggest consideration for a duvet cover. It has the biggest impact on your sleeping experience. Here's a quick rundown.

Cotton Percale - The most classic bedding material. Cool, crisp, and airy, it's the perfect master of none.

Cotton Sateen - A more luxe cotton weave. There's a bit more shine and heft to this, so it looks better but sleeps warmer.

Linen - Great for imperfect and earthy bedding. It's an airy fabric that starts crisp but gets softer with every wash.

Flannel - Only for cold months—super soft, super warm.

Bamboo Viscose - Made from cellulose that was originally a byproduct of manufacturing. Fabric is incredibly soft, durable, and cool. Not the most classic feel, but we love it.

Lyocell and Tencel - Like bamboo viscose, made from cellulose. Lyocell is generic, from any tree. Tencel is specifically made with eucalyptus.
