This review is going to be a little different for three reasons. One: I bought these together. Two: They are used together. Three: THEY BELONG TOGETHER! Ok, ok, let met explain. I received this duvet and duvet cover directly from the seller. They are one of the first sellers that I ever got a response from and they are AWESOME! I was completely blown out of the water when they offered me these two items! They have quickly become a favorite of mine and I want to show my love to them equally! Plus, if you buy them, you should totally buy them together because they fit together perfectly and are SO comfortable! Ok, now, I'll start answering questions. 

Why did you call that a duvet? It's clearly a comforter!

In most ways, duvet and comforter are interchangeable words. In my research, I found that it looks like they are called a comforter in the United States and a duvet in the United Kingdom. But, doing a little more research, there are some differences. Yes, you can call this a comforter but it is a duvet. Duvet's are meant to be put inside a protective cover. They can be used alone but to keep them safe, it's a good idea to put a cover on them! Plus, duvet's have loops on their corners. That is so they can be tied to the duvet cover and not move around in it. Next question!

Ok, I get what a duvet is now... I think. But how do you get it in a cover?!

This is a little more complicated but just bare with me! This is how I did it and it worked perfectly! A duvet cover is something like a very big pillow case for a comforter, only it's a lot harder to put on and takes a little bit of practice. But it's very much worth it! First, you need to find the end that opens. This particular duvet cover is closed by buttons. So, find the buttons and open them. Then, flip

the duvet cover inside out, just like you would a pillow case when you're getting ready to put it on a pillow. Once you flip the duvet cover inside out, you will notice that it has ties in the corner. Those ties are there to allow you to tie the duvet cover to the comforter. The comforter will have loops on the corners for that purpose. Tie the two bottom corners and then begin to pull the cover up the comforter. This will take a little patience and time. Once you've

practiced, it will be much easier. Once you have the cover pulled up, tie the remaining two corners and tuck the comforter the rest of the way in. Then button it up and put it so that the side with buttons is at the bottom of your bed. You won't even be able to tell they're there after they're buttoned! And, that's all, you now have a protected duvet with a beautiful cover on it! Just remember, when it comes time to wash it, remove the cover! Don't put them in the wash together, that's asking for trouble! 

Now that you see it all together. It's nice, huh? YEAH! It's nice! Let me tell you something about this set. It's not only beautiful, it is amazingly soft and comfortable. Sleeping this way is so much easier than sleeping with multiple covers and sheets on your bed! If you just get a few duvet covers, you'll be able to change the whole look of your bed without having the hassle of storing multiple, bulky comforters! When not in use, this duvet cover folds up to around the size of a bottom and top sheet stacked on top of each other. It's very convenient! Sometimes I want my bed to look very sophisticated and sometimes I want the wildest colors imaginable on it! Now, I can do that without having my wardrobe full of comforters! It's amazing! 

But, these is one more thing we need to talk about. Washing these. Now, the duvet cover is fine. Wash it in cold water and tumble dry low and you'll be fine! What I want to talk to you about is the comforter. Now, you can wash and dry it at home. But, I suggest if you do wash this, you take it to a dry cleaner. Why? To keep it safe, to make sure it's not damaged and to extend its life! Most home washers and dryers are not built to wash something this big. I washed another comforter and ended up ripping it when it came out of the dryer. NOT FUN! If you do decide to wash it at home, use cold water and hang to dry whenever possible! 

I have answered the questions and pointed out all the pros of these products. Don't you want them?! Don't you agree they fit and look amazing together?! They do, I know they do! So, just go up there and click those links and buy them! You'll stay so comfortable and toasty warm that you'll wonder why you didn't do it before! I seriously can't even put into words how much I love this duvet and duvet cover! You just have to find out for yourself! Click, buy, treat yourself!
