Duvet Cover? wtf?

[CAW!]

I'm shopping for new bed sheets and I keep seeing duvet covers. What in the bloody blue fuck is a duvet cover?? Is this something I'm supposed to have on my bed? Like when girls come over to my place are they thinking

"I was going to let him rail me like he just got out on parole, but he doesn't have a duvet cover. He must be classless. I think I'll just give him a hand-j instead and then leave"

Google, moron.

 

[pontifex]

WTF you don't have duvets over there?

It's to keep your down comforter clean, so you don't have to wash the whole thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duvet

A duvet (pronounced UK: /ˈdjuːveɪ/, US: /djʊˈveɪ/, from the French duvet [dyˈvɛ] "down") is a type of bedding — a soft flat bag traditionally filled with down or feathers, or a combination of both, and used on a bed as a blanket.

That's what a fucking comforter is. But these places have duvets and comforters listed differently

but then what's a duvet cover....so you have a blanket on your bed, a duvet over that for some reason....and then a duvet cover for the duvet?? Seems redundant

You put a comforter inside of a duvet cover. It is a huge PITA, too.

I've never heard the term "comforter" before, so it's obviously a regional thing. And you use a duvet cover because washing and drying a duvet is a bitch. You'll know that one day when you move out and your mommy isn't doing your laundry any more.

 

[waffleironhead]

I'll make this simple for you.

The duvet cover goes over the duvet(comforter), in place of a typical top sheet.

Not on my bed - I still use two sheets as well as a duvet cover.

 

[CAW!]

wait, so instead of a top sheet you'd be sleeping directly under your blanket?

 

[Mike Gayner]

No.

I've lived on my own since I was 18 asshole. I have a top sheet and then a blanket (comforter) on my bed. What you described sounds extra faggy.

 

[CAW!]

No.

I mean with what waffle was describing

 

[CAW!]

wait, and why would you have a duvet and then a duvet cover to keep you from having to wash your blanket...when you just have to wash the duvet cover???? That sounds like a complete load of festering horse shit.

 

[amdhunter]

Wow, this thread reminded me of Serial Experiments Lain. I haven't heard Duvet in a long time.

Yet apparently you're too fucking stupid to figure out what everyone else here knows

Holy shit you really are an idiot.

OP = Moron

Duvet = Comforter = Blanket

Duvet Cover = Cover for Duvet

Correct.

OP, it is easier to wash a duvet cover. Most duvets or comforters are thick and in order to wash them, you have to have a large washing machine or take it to a laundramat. Duvet covers, on the other hand, are really thin and when you remove the comforter to wash it, it is just like washing a few sheets at once.

Women.... :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:
