A duvet without a cover, also called a washable duvet or 2-in-1 duvet, is becoming increasingly popular. The cover is attached to the duvet, so you never have to get a duvet cover on again. But is it right for you? These are the pros and cons.
The pros
- Make your bed in seconds. No more battling with a duvet cover. Handy for everyone, and especially if you have less strength in your arms.
- You wash the whole duvet. Not just the cover, the filling is washed regularly too.
- Always neat. No duvet shifting or bunching up inside the cover.
- Ideal for a guest bed, caravan or children's room. Quickly made and easy to keep clean.
The cons, and how to deal with them
- You need a washing machine of the right size. A large duvet does not fit in every drum. For a 240 cm wide Snoozella duvet, for example, you need 10 kg. See the washing instructions per size.
- Drying takes longer than a separate cover. A tumble dryer helps: Snoozella duvets can go in the dryer on a normal programme.
- You are stuck with one look. Want some variety? Then choose a reversible duvet such as the ComfyBed Duo, with two colours in one.
- You have no duvet while it is in the wash. The solution: work with two duvets.
Who is a duvet without a cover ideal for?
For anyone who finds changing the bed an annoying chore, for families with children and for anyone who likes a clean bed without the hassle. If you have a washing machine that is large enough and ideally a tumble dryer, you will get the most out of it.
