The desire to fit my comforter in a duvet?

A down is an article of bedding that covers and protects your comforter filled (they are also called 'duvet covers' or 'fluff protectors').

In most European and American hotels - a down comforter is the actual (an analogy is what we call Soccer is called football abroad) and the cover is called a duvet cover.

These parties are meant to be tied to a loop on the comforter if available. Most comforters you see in a store do not have down loops - the exceptions would be hotel style comforters actually used at hotels as well as some fine linen store product lines.If you do not have a comforter with corner loops down with gold ties - do not worry - the friction of the fabric comforter and the duvet fabric Likely will keep them in place (a weekly adjustment only perhaps). The one exception would be a silky material down Which Likely would not keep the comforter in place and allow internal slippage (which once again can be adjusted).
