    In Europe, a duvet is the feather-comforter itself, not its cover, which is sold separately. That’s way too small for the duvet, must be its cover. Waaay back in the old days, in America, you would hear of “feather beds.” That’s a duvet.I bought a duvet and love it, but OH hates it. I use it when lying on the recliner in cold weather.

    Something else for the kids to throw in the dumpster when you die.

    Good thing my First Mate’s grasp of English isn’t very strong, because I will probably use Earl’s line on more than one occasion without being strangled !Womens ideas of what constitutes a bargain are universal.

    Aren’t you overstating it just a little, Earl?

    Thank goodness for these comments, they save a search at an on line dictionary.

    Another worthless purchase… But it’s called shopping.

    Why does one need a cover to cover a cover? Just asking.

    An old English friend of mine told me Duvets were like a thinner cover over the top, or words to that effect. The Duvets in J C Penny’s Home Store were just that. Like a mini comforter?

    OK, Searched it out online but still not entirely certain; appears Duvet is a single purpose bed cover, in general not washable due to it’s natural contents (down, etc) ergo..a cover ( “Duvet Cover”) is used, which is washable.

    You stuff the Duvet into the cover, like stuffing a pillow inside a pillow cover. Closures are “Snaps”, or “Zippers”. Appears they come in variety of designs/colors, for color coordinating your bedroom. Hmm. Different than a “Comforter” in that a Comforter is washable and is used with other bed linens, such as sheets, etc..A European item chiefly, now used in America. Ah Hah! Now we know. :-)

    Didn’t help that the duvet is pink… Or is Earl not fussy about the colour?

    I don’t know, he’s worn a pink shirt before. Looked pretty good in it. But it’s a flattering color.

    I always thought that Robert Duvet was good in the series “Lonesome Dove.”

    I don’t know about Polish, but I can tell you from experience that learning to read and write in Gaelic or Celtic is a totally different experience from speaking. I am an Irish speaker, but it took me years to “connect” the spoken and written word. Words are pronounced quite differently from how they look on the page.Ádh mór leis é, mo chara!
