“Duvets” are those fake down comforter thingies you pay too much for. The covers are like 2 sheets sewn together with an opening on one side to slide it in, with buttons.

The duvet cover means you don’t have to wash the damn thing since the cover absorbs all the sweat you put out.

I can’t use them—much too hot for this climate, even in winter with the heat set at 68 deg. So I prefer a quilt.

My duvet is a real one. I’ve had it for years. The cover is absolutely essential to keep it clean.
And yes, it is very toasty; much better than an electric blanket or turning on the heat in the house.
I just used a flannel sheet last night when temps dropped to 41F, but tonight is going to be colder so I figured I’d pull out the duvet early.
It’ll get put back on the shelf in the morning because warm weather returns for a while starting tomorrow.
