Best deal for duvets?

[Rometiklan]

I've got to buy a present for my cousin's wedding at the end of the month. I was thinking of a feather/down duvet. I have no idea where to even start looking. Where can I find the best deal for a quality duvet for a king size bed? Thanks in advance.

You might want to try Sears. I got mine at 50% off the regular price. Mine is a 3 star. And I love it!!! Sears marks them down quite often! Good luck

Winners might have some brand name duvets that are pretty inexpensive. Last time I was there I saw a queen size one from Ralph Lauren for around $100.

HOMESENSE!

More selection then Winners in terms of brands!

Linen's N Things usually has several different price ranges for duvets. Plus you can use the 20% off coupon for this.

can range from 79$ for cheapest to 350$+ for a good one.

I prefer duvets over comforters.

A possible problem is that one or both of them might be allergic to feather/down...personally, I would love to get one by my g/f is allergic to the stuff so that's out. Before spending hundreds of dollars on one you may want to make sure that neither of them are allergic to the stuff. >:(

I was there tonight, their 3, 4 and 5 star duvets are 40% off. The 4 star, reguarly 500 bucks, is on for 300, and so on, obviously. They seem like they are pretty good quality.

What the hell is a Duvet?

[feminazi]

A duvet is a fancy comforter that typically is filled with goose down or feathers. They are very light and very warm, and often very expensive. You buy a duvet cover to protect them, because you cannot machine wash them.

Good ones have a high fill (amount of down in them), a high percale exterior, and quilted stitching to prevent lumping of the down.

If you need to know more, someone else can backfill! :)

So, in layman's terms, it's a REALLY fancy blanket that you need another thin blanket to keep the thick blanket from getting dirty. Is that the gist of it?

not necessarily. Comforters are similar to duvets, but comforters do not need any extra cover such as a pillow does. Comforters are patterened, usually on both sides and are meant to be displayed as part of your bed ensemble. THey are all in one duvets. Duvets, on the other hand are usually faced in white cotton fabric and always needs a duvet cover. This cover is the pattern. however, some may be just plain coloured. Some can be left for display, where as others, you can put a bedsrpead over it. This makes duvets more practical, since washing it is much easier, just undo the duvet cover, and throw in the washer. the comforter needs to be professionally cleaned. With comforters, normally a sheet is placed between you and the comforter, so you don't dirty the comforter as fast. This is similar to hotel sleeping. Although you can have your body right next the the comforter though.

I find duvets and duvet covers more practical and more hygenic than comforters.

Oh man, I can feel a headache coming on.

Starting to feel a bit Neanderthal.
Now, where's my club at??? :)

Ok, let's see if I got it right

Duvets needs a cover in order for it to operate as a Comforter but a comforter when dirty, requires professional touch whereas the cover is simply thrown into the wash.

So say, theoretically, I have a cartoon sleeping bag and use it as a blanket. I can consider it a cheap comforter since its a sleeping bag and I don't need a professional clean but if I put a cover on it, it becomes a cheap duvet.

How's this sound?

a blanket is a "blanket" term for these. ha ha.

but it sounds about right, but it still is a sleeping bag with a cover over it, not a duvet.

When you go to Zellers and buy a "bed in a bag" you get a comforter, not a duvet. Comforters are the cheap knock offs of duvets and duvet covers.

And by the way it is pronounced DOO-vay, not DOO-vet.

btw, what the heck are u doing with a cartoon sleeping bag?

oh, i forgot, the average age for RFD members is. . .

I was wondering when someone was gonna say something about it. I said THEORECTIALLY. I figure that was the easiest example I can come up with. So, in order to get a DOO-vay is pretty much at the classier stores, ie Bay, Sears, Linen&Things, right?

[feminazi]

Cheap comforters can be machine washed.

Synthetic duvets (non feather or goose fill) are sold anywhere comforters are sold.

Real duvets are typically sold in decent stores, not necessarily only classy ones, but almost always in classy ones.

The 40% off sale at Sears is looking pretty swell right now. The Bay has duvet sales on now and then as well, for 40% off or maybe even a bit more.

You will love having a duvet if you get one, for the reasons already listed.

Sheesh, a bunch of dudes talking about duvets, times have changed! :)

I think I've even seen them at Zellers, but you'd have to confirm. Even Ikea sells them. In fact that is all Ikea sells. You can get them as cheap as 29.99 for a twin summer duvet. but that one has not much polyester fill in it. and the construction of it is not a baffle box stitch.

If you want a good duvet, get one that is at least a 3 season duvet. You want it warm enough for the winter, but not too hot for the summer. (unless you have good ac or heat your house really well).

usually the more expensive ones have a true baffle box construction, and have goose feather down in it instead of duck down. Some of the down is not really feathers, but the inner parts of the feathers of the bird, and is less insulating. Goose down duvets are a bit "cruchier" than polyester fill, but the are really warm.

well, when u own your own home and have to buy everything yourself, you even get to know which laundry soap is better.

Try Costco. Sears also has sale events every weekend and duvets are often reduced. Liquidation World might have some if there is a store in your area.
