Quilts, shams, comforters and duvets — there are tons of bedding options to choose from, but if you’re in the market for a duvet and don’t know which one to buy, you’ve come to the right place.
Since good quality duvets (and sheets!) can be expensive, relying on expert recommendations and reviews can be a huge help in figuring out which is best for your needs. Nevertheless, the cost is worth it. After all, it’s estimated we spend nearly half our lives lying in bed, so it’s probably worth the investment.
“Although a high-quality duvet cover and insert set is an investment when purchasing, it will save you money, time and frustration over time,” Karin Sun, textile expert and founder of Crane & Canopy told the New York Post. “Since a duvet cover is easy to wash and dry with other bedding, you’re more likely to launder frequently enough for better hygiene and overall health.”
In an effort to help you create the perfect oasis in your bedroom, we spoke with a variety of textile experts, interior designers and other sleep experts to get the lowdown on the best duvet covers on the market.
Brands include Brooklinen, Parachute, Cozy Earth and more for those looking for crisp, luxurious duvets. If you just need a duvet insert, pillows or sheets, many of these retailers tend to sell the whole package!
Before you start shopping, Sun explained the differences in duvet materials below:
Meet the Experts:
When it comes to duvet covers, Parachute Home is Shaffer’s top choice.
“Parachute Home is always keeping their products simple and timeless with a strong focus on craftsmanship,” Shaffer said. “One of the standout features of this duvet cover is the internal ties. These ties are strategically placed inside the cover to keep your comforter in place and prevent it from shifting or bunching up. This is a great feature for anyone who struggles with a lumpy or an uneven bedding problem.”
Parachute Home’s Sateen Duvet Cover is made in Portugal from 100% premium, certified long-staple Egyptian cotton. This duvet is ultra-soft and durable with a smooth feel that only gets better with time.

As someone who has owned my very own Brooklinen duvet cover and sheets for years, I can attest — bedding doesn’t get much better than this! Every night will feel like you’re jumping into a hotel bed, thanks to the ultra-soft, rich feeling material. As for durability, every time I wash the duvet, it seems to get even softer.
Brooklinen’s bestselling Luxe Duvet Cover comes in many different colors and has more than 7,700 raving reviews.
“They offer silky, smooth comfort thanks to 100% long-staple cotton and the 480-thread count weave features a rich, lustrous look that can be enjoyed year-round by hot and cold sleepers alike,” Elks told The Post.

For a sustainable pick, well-loved by much of the Internet and Shaffer, go for the Buffy Eucalyptus Duvet.
“Buffy’s eucalyptus fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it’s free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use. This certification ensures that the Buffy Eucalyptus Cover is not only good for the planet, but also good for your health,” Shaffer explained.
“Eucalyptus is a rapidly renewable resource that requires less water and pesticides to grow than traditional cotton. Additionally, the process used to turn eucalyptus into fabric uses less energy and creates less waste than the process used to produce other types of textiles.”
If you live in a warmer climate or like to switch your bedding out during the spring and summer, linen is the way to go. Gill’s top choice? Serena and Lily’s Portofino Linen Duvet Cover.
“Relaxed and cool for warmer months, the Portofino collection is a classic design with a small hemstitch,” Gill said. “It is so comfortable and looks good in any bedroom.”
“This duvet is not only incredibly durable, but is also sateen lined, so you can sleep without any flat sheet and feel only the softest side,” Gill said. “You can’t beat the price and color way options either!”
With nearly 1,000 positive reviewers from Target and a price point, no more than $130 (depending on the size of your bed) — what’s not to love?
