Twin Size Duvet Cover
Finding the Right Twin Size Duvet Cover
A twin size duvet and cover are an alternative to
traditional bed linens. It's meant to replace a top
sheet, blanket and quilt or comforter, simplifying the
whole process of making a bed - which is a major plus
when dealing with children. Making the bed is as simple
as spreading the duvet out and smoothing any wrinkles in
the duvet cover.
The duvet itself is a fabric 'sack' filled with feathers
and down. More often than not, it's 'quilted' or sewn
with baffles to help keep the feathers and down in
place. A duvet cover slips over the duvet like a
pillowcase, and buttons, folds over or zips at the
bottom to keep it in place. When the duvet needs
freshening, just slip the cover off and toss it in the
washer.
The purchase of a twin size duvet can represent a
substantial investment in a bedroom redecorating
project. The most important way to protect that
investment is to invest a little further in the purchase
of a twin size duvet cover. A duvet cover will keep
airborne dust off your new duvet as well as protecting
the fabric covering from dirt, stains and wear. Think of
it as a rather large pillowcase - because in reality, a
duvet is far more similar to a large pillow than it is
to a quilt.
A duvet cover for your new twin size duvet is more than
just a protective sleeve, though. The duvet cover that
you choose will be a major accent in your room - after
all, your bed is the focal point of the bedroom, right?
A twin size duvet cover in a pink-checked gingham suits
a far different kind of room than a rich, burgundy satin
duvet cover. It's especially easy to find nearly any
style of duvet cover for a twin size duvet, since
manufacturers realize that a twin size bed is as likely
to be used by an adult as a toddler.
As far as fabrics go, you might want to choose something
easy care for a child's room. Several manufacturers make
twin size duvet covers that are 100% washable. Fabrics
like 100% cotton, denim, linen and some polyester blends
make comfortable, easy to care for duvet covers. Being
able to strip the duvet and toss it into the washer and
dryer can be a major benefit for those unexpected middle
of the night bed changes. If cleaning isn't a concern,
though, you can find incredible luxury in duvet covers.
There are twin size duvet covers available in satin,
silk and even faux suede.
You can purchase a twin size duvet cover as part of the
set when you purchase your duvet, but if you'd like to
change the look and style of your bedroom - or just
would like to have a spare change of bedding, you can
also buy a twin size duvet cover separately. You'll find
that most manufacturers who make bedding and comforters
also make duvet covers. Whether you're decorating a
toddler's first 'big bed' or a college student's dorm
room, there are styles and colors of twin size duvet
covers that will fit the bill.
