I had a down comforter with huge bright blue and yellow daisies on it and you could see them slightly through one of my cheaper pastel floral cotton duvet covers.
Can you put a duvet cover over a down comforter.
In fact it s always better to have a duvet cover and it s also more fun.
Start by taking a duvet cover and turning it inside out and lay it out on the bed with the open end down near the foot of the bed.
Basically take the comforter.
Start at the top of the top end and just roll it over all the way down.
Putting a duvet cover on your down comforter is much easier with 2 people although it can be done with just one person.
Of course you can use a duvet cover even though your comforter does not have anything to attach it to but that is not very convenient.
Duvet covers are meant to be washed and will experience fabric shrinkage.
Some comforters also come with tabs but the majority do not.
Duvet covers always have tabs or loops on corners and sometimes even on the sides to secure a cover.
And again the cover is inside out.
Ok now here s the real trick.
Sure it will work you just have to watch that you pick a duvet cover that is not so light in color and fabric that the design shows through from the inner comforter.
It most likely contains cotton to be classed as down proof to keep fill inside.
Put your duvet cover on the top of your bed and make sure the opening is at the foot of the bed.
Here are step by step instructions on how to complete this task.
Then take the comforter itself and just spread it out on top of the cover.
Your comforter will also likely shrink 3 5 when washed.
Sure you can put a down comforter inside a duvet cover no problem.
