Okay, can we all agree that washing your bedding is the absolute worst chore? Especially when that bedding includes a comforter so big and fluffy it requires its own special load. Sure, putting a duvet cover over your fluffy down comforter can be a huge pain in the ass—(confession: I still watch Rachel Ray's duvet cover hack YouTube video any time I have to do it)—but it definitely beats washing a heavy AF comforter every week. And that’s a hill I’ll happily die on. So if you’re #TeamDuvet—as opposed to #TeamComforter—welcome to your safe space on the internet. Together, we can unpack why the extra layer of protection is so great, plus shop 28 of the best duvet covers that are super comfortable, easy to wash, and will fall effortlessly over your mattress.

Below, you'll find even more of our favorite duvet covers on the market. So keep reading (and get that add-to-cart finger ready) if ya want the best sleep ever. (And, if you need a new duvet insert, we got ya covered on that too.)

Luxe Duvet Cover

Brooklinen is one of the biggest names in the game for a reason: They have the coziest bedding and a bunch of colorways to choose from. And I gotta give a special shout-out to them for making this duvet with large, easy-to-fasten buttons. Bless up!

THE REVIEWS: "The best sleep," writes one reviewer. "Our friends had raved about Brooklinen and we finally splurged and within a week, ordered more sets. So soft and luxurious, we had the best sleep in these sheets. Highly recommend. :)"

Microfiber Duvet Cover Set

Don't ya love when you buy something and it only gets better and better the longer you have it? Well, this beauty feels softer and softer after every wash—so you already know this purchase is about to be a good investment. Can't forget to acknowledge that lovely under $40 price tag, too.

THE REVIEWS: "This duvet cover needs no breaking in! Incredibly lightweight and soft to the touch, it is brushed making it super soft and great to snuggle with at night," writes one reviewer. "I think it will be cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I bought a new down alternative duvet to go with it, and I am very happy with the results of my Amazon bedroom makeover."

Dreamy Gauze Cotton Duvet Cover

Oh hi, the prettiest color scheme I've ever laid eyes on! Grab this stunning duvet set from West Elm for a luxe look without breaking the bank.

MY REVIEW: Not only is the gauzy texture stylish and unexpected, it's also soft and breathable.

Nestl Duvet Cover 3-Piece Set

How can you NOT be sold on something that's so close to a five-star rating with over 85,000 reviews on Amazon?! Obvi, the people love it. And we're not surprised because the duvet cover was created with premium stuff, it's lightweight, it comes with two pillow shams, and it's outrageously inexpensive.

THE REVIEWS: "This duvet is amazing! I live in the south so you never want a big fluffy comforter on you at night but a sheet is never enough," writes one reviewer. "I purchased this duvet cover to use by itself as a cover. I got the king size for my queen bed. I sweat badly at night. This duvet, empty, is the perfect blanket over my flat sheet. In the winter, I'll just put my old quilt inside of it to give it a little more weight. The buttons stay closed easily. I couldn't be happier with this!"

Duvet Cover

If boho is your vibe, you'll be all over this embroidered beaut, which comes in a few designs and almost two dozen colorways. Plus, it's also got both a zipper closure and eight corner ties for a more secure fit over your comforter.

THE REVIEWS: "For the price, you can’t even think twice about buying this duvet cover!! The textured design has the perfect amount of detail and flair, while still maintaining that clean ‘hotel’ feel! The outer fabric isn’t too soft, but the “fringe” is fairly soft & the interior is a very nice quality, almost silky soft to the touch, so to me it’s perfect! VERY lightweight...and you can make it as heavy as you want, depending on your duvet," one reviewer writes. "The ties around the corners and middle are amazing to hold your duvet in place. Also, the zipper is of great quality. I had no problems while inserting my duvet and making the bed!!"

Linen Duvet Cover

If you can’t decide between linen and cotton, this Riley Home duvet cover is the best of both worlds. One side is linen (made from flax fibers) and the other is a cotton percale. Ideal, TBH.

MY REVIEW: It's not too cool, but not too cozy—the perfect in-between option for those of us who are moody AF about our sleeping preferences.

Essential Duvet Cover

It's breathable, soft, and made to last—but the best thing about SlumberCloud's duvet cover is its materials list. The cover incorporates Outlast viscose, a NASA-backed technology designed to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the night.

THE REVIEWS: "I love the color and feel of it! My partner appreciated the temperature control aspect, not needing to kick it off because she is too hot during the night," one reviewer writes.

Bamboo Duvet Cover

Hate to break this to you, but if you're after a silk duvet cover, you could spend upwards of $400, at least—and it probs won’t be 100 percent silk, anyway. Instead, you can still get that luxe silky feeling with a duvet cover made from bamboo like this one from Cozy Earth. It's made with 100 percent viscose from bamboo, which manages to be lightweight and breathable while mimicking the touch of silk at a much lower price.

THE REVIEWS: "This duvet cover is extremely elegant; there is no other word for it," writes one reviewer. "It's the nicest duvet cover I've ever had, and every time I pull it up to my cheek, it feels super soft, silky, and dreamy. It helps me sleep so much better. This is definitely five stars, and I would recommend it to anyone."

Heavenly Duvet Cover

If you're after something a bit darker and moodier to match your vibe, reach for this dark grey option from Eucalypso. It’s made from 100 percent Tencel lyocell, which makes it super-soft and environmentally sustainable. Additionally, this duvet comes in seven other colorways, so you’ll be sure to find the right hue that matches your deco—and your feelings.

THE REVIEWS: "I almost wept upon crawling under this heavenly duvet cover. It’s beyond soft and light," one reviewer writes. "The only problem is that I don’t want to leave my bed. During my mid-thirties, I became a ‘hot sleeper,’ and this duvet has made a world of difference. I can’t wait to buy the sheets!"

Honeycomb Duvet Cover Set

If you wanna add a lil oomph to your bedding without adding any extra layers (like a throw blanket or pillows), then opt for a set with visible texture like this one. This option from the Sleep Number has a soft weave waffle pattern on the outside and smooth cotton on the inside. It also comes with two matching shams and is available in three other colors.

THE REVIEWS: "This duvet cover works great. It was easy to use with my duvet. I love the handy ties in each corner that allow you to tie the duvet to the cover and prevent slipping," one reviewer writes. "Once the comforter was inside, zipping up and fluffing was a cinch. The cover looks great in our bedroom. I would highly recommend this as a duvet cover."

AiryWeight Eucalyptus Duvet Cover

Made from eucalyptus Tencel lyocell fiber—which is one of the most sustainable bedding fabrics on the market—this duvet cover is naturally soft, cooling, hypoallergenic, and moisture-wicking. It's super cozy, yet lightweight and breathable.

THE REVIEWS: "Love the Airy Weight Eucalyptus sheet set. They are breathable, feel like silk, and are very comfortable in our current warm weather," one reviewer writes. "Sleeping great on them. Very happy with my purchase."

European Linen Duvet Cover Set

A soft pink duvet cover is always the move if you wanna add a pop of color without doing too much. This style also comes with two matching pillow shams to complete the look.

THE REVIEWS: "I am obsessed with this duvet cover. The color is beautiful, the quality is great, and the linen is buttery soft," writes one reviewer. "The ties and buttons inside also make it the easiest to put onto the bed. Definitely would recommend."

Natural Premium Bamboo Duvet Cover

Good for the planet and so freaking comfy, this viscose from bamboo bedding is eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, thermoregulating, and very soft. What more could you ask for?

THE REVIEWS: "This duvet cover is buttery and soft. It keeps you cool throughout the night. Feels like you're sleeping in silk. Washes really well and does not come out of the dryer all wrinkly like many other high-end duvet covers," one reviewer writes. "This is the second duvet cover we purchased. You will get the best night's sleep with Sunday Citizen bedding."

400 Thread Count Sateen Duvet Cover & Shams Set

If the 400-thread count doesn't pique your interest, how about the silky-smooth sateen finish, the ultra-soft 100 percent cotton fabric or the piped edge details that add an extra layer of luxury?

THE REVIEWS: "I have been scouring the internet for a full-size duvet cover—not Full/Queen, but actually meant for a full-size bed. Full/Queen Duvet covers are too wide and long. This full-size duvet cover measures 86 by 86. It is simple and easy to wash," one reviewer writes. "It also has ties in each corner to keep the duvet in place with buttons along the bottom seam. Very happy with my purchase!"

Signature Embroidered Duvet Set

The gentle drape and embroidery detail makes this duvet look so damn sophisticated. Meanwhile, the high-quality, 100 percent organic cotton fabric is breathable, buttery soft, and durable.

THE REVIEWS: "This duvet is soooo soft and so beautiful. It came in the most gorgeous packaging! Oh, and we LOVE the zipper closures. It makes the drying experience so much better because the duvet can't get spun into a knot as duvets with button closures can," one tester writes. "That was a nice little surprise I didn't even realize until it arrived!"

Belgian Flax Linen Duvet Cover

It's lightly textured, cool to the touch, durable, and breathable. The 100 percent natural-fiber linen, woven from the world's finest Belgian flax, is incredibly soft and gets even softer with every wash, so you'll be getting better and better sleep for years to come.

MY REVIEW: This bb is specially pre-washed for supreme softness, plus the level of fluffiness is on par with my favorite hotel comforters. It's got a live-in look that'll make your bedroom feel oh-so-inviting and homey.

Split-Duvet Cover

Maybe you or your partner is a certified blanket hog, and if it has caused some severe issues (heh), then this duvet cover might be the solution you need. This nifty option by Ervét is actually two duvet covers in one, connected by hidden magnets in the inseam. Just pull it apart when you’re ready to snooze. Plus, with two separate covers, you'll be able to choose your preferred warmth level. So if you prefer to be as cool as a cucumber, but your partner prefers to be warm and toasty, you can get what you want without compromises.

THE REVIEWS: "Love the sheets, the duvet, and the duvet cover. The split duvet cover is awesome; it feels like silk," writes one reviewer. "The magnets work well and are strong but pull apart easily to separate the cover."

Velvet Flannel Duvet Cover

When it's cold outside, nothing feels better than disappearing under the covers and creating your own private warm, cozy bundle. There's no better way to achieve that life goal than a flannel duvet cover.

THE REVIEWS: "I have several expensive duvet covers. There is always something wrong with them. They may look great but are not comfortable. They may shift, tear easily, and/or wrinkle easily. This flannel duvet is warm, cozy, comfortable, and feels like you're sleeping in a cocoon," writes one reviewer. "Love it!!!"

Sateen Duvet Cover

Parachute also makes bomb dot com linen bedding, but cool-to-the-touch sateen is the perfect material for treating yourself when you need a little extra softness and comfort.

MY REVIEW: Parachute bedding is elite. IYKYK. And if you've never tried anything from the cult-favorite home brand, go ahead and add this sateen duvet cover to your cart.

Fokus Duvet Cover & Sham Set

Go bold with a fun duvet cover that features an intricate graphic design. This one has detailed rings on it but is still muted with its gray hue. Side note: You'll be super warm and snug thanks to its 100 percent cotton material.

THE REVIEWS: "Beautiful, quality fabric," writes one reviewer. "Classic design. Very happy."

Hotel Classic Duvet Cover

We all know that hotel bedding hits different. And this beautiful cover from Frette was created to replicate that exact vacation feeling. Psh, a five-star resort will never be able to get on your level now.

MY REVIEW: Sure, it's expensive, but this duvet cover is a favorite among fancy hotels worldwide and will make you feel like you're on vacation all year round.

Supreme White Easy-Change Duvet Cover

Sometimes putting on a duvet cover can be like conquering a beast. But Beddley has made the job sooo much easier with this cover that features openings on three sides.

THE REVIEWS: "Best duvet covers on the market!!!! Time-saving and super easy to use," writes one reviewer. "This cover eliminates the frustration of taking them off for each wash. The quality of the fabric and zipper are superb. Shipping/delivery was super fast. Great company run by amazing people who care for the quality of the products they offer and their customers."

What is the difference between a comforter and a duvet cover?

To help explain the difference between a comforter and a duvet cover (which is kind of like comparing apples to oranges), let’s define the different types of fluffy bed toppers, shall we?

• A comforter is a thick, soft, quilted blanket with an insulating interior and a pretty exterior that’s meant to be seen.

• A duvet is also quilted and filled with something warm—down or down-alternative, usually—but the outside isn’t necessarily as aesthetically pleasing. And that’s because duvets are designed to be shoved into a duvet cover, which is a protective and decorative layer that slips over the duvet and has a zipper or button closure.

So, to answer your question, comforters should be compared to duvets (not duvet covers)—the main distinction between a comforter and a duvet is that a duvet is designed to be shoved inside a duvet cover.

What is a duvet cover used for?

Now that you know the definition of a duvet cover, you’re probably wondering why, exactly, it even exists. Like, why not just use a comforter instead of buying a duvet and a duvet cover? Good news: I’ve got answers for that, too! Here are some major perks to using a duvet cover.

Duvet covers protect your duvet

Duvet covers protect your cozy (and expensive!!) down blanket from rips, stains, and general wear and tear. There are even hypoallergenic duvet covers that'll help keep allergens (like dust and feathers) away from your sensitive, sneezy self (relatable).

Duvet covers are easy to wash

Since your actual duvet won’t really see the light of day when they’re tucked away in a cover, you don't have to clean it as frequently. Just slip off the duvet cover and wash that with your sheets instead of washing the heavy, bulky down comforter.

Duvet covers can add design to your home

A duvet is a smart option if you like to switch up your bedroom design since the covers can be super inexpensive and are easy to store. Stock up on a few cute designs, so you can swap them out when you’re in need of a little vibe change.

How to choose the best duvet cover

Consider the climate you live in and your sleeping habits

Maybe you’re shopping for a beach house bedroom or maybe you just can’t stop sweating in your sleep—either way, for hot sleepers we recommend a lightweight and breathable duvet cover like one made from eco-friendly bamboo or hypoallergenic linen. On the contrary, if you want something warm and cozy for cold climates, try a flannel duvet cover.

Think about cost and durability

If you’re looking for something cheap, consider microfiber or polycotton duvet covers. If softness and durability are your top priorities, you can’t go wrong with a cotton duvet cover (especially fancy long-staple cotton that feels silky, like prima cotton or Egyptian cotton).

Decide what kind of closure you want

This one’s more of a personal preference, so here are the pros and cons of each to help you decide. A zipper is faster and more convenient, but it can make the edges of a duvet cover look and feel stiff. Buttoning up a duvet cover takes longer and the buttons tend to come undone, but they’re more subtle in appearance and won’t get stuck like a zipper. Plus, repairing or replacing a zipper is more difficult than sewing on a single button.
