A duvet cover is essentially a bag that is designed to contain a down comforter. Essentially it is a protective covering and depending on the material may protect the down comforter against staining or even dust and dust mites. The duvet cover can also be a decorative covering aiding in the coordination of colors with that of other fabrics in the room such as the carpet or drapery.
