Why Choose An Organic Duvet and Organic Duvet CoversDuvet covers are like large pillow cases, and are used to cover a down comforter or duvet. Using a duvet cover on your bed makes it easy to change the look of your bedroom, plus it's a lot easier to clean than your duvet. All sizes are available, though you should be sure to measure your duvet before buying a cover, since comforter sizes can vary by ten inches or more. If you're buying a duvet and cover at the same time, be sure that they match.
When you buy your duvet and your duvet cover, you'll want to pay attention to what they're made of. Quality materials go a long way toward giving you a good night's sleep. Many people are also becoming more concerned about where the materials for their bedding come from. Most conventional duvets and duvet covers have a shell made from cotton, for instance. Ordinary cotton growing makes use of a lot of agrochemicals, including pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, and can pollute water and air. That means that cotton, while it's a great material, isn't the best for the earth. The solution is to look for an organic duvet and to use organic duvet covers. Organic duvet covers are made from cotton that's grown without pesticides, and which comes from plants that aren't genetically modified. Crop rotation is used to control pests and maintain soil quality, and predatory insects help keep the crops from being eaten by weevils. You may notice that organic duvets cost more to buy. That's because it's more expensive to produce cotton this way. However, in the end, the price is worth it, since organically grown cotton doesn't have the same impact on the world around us that ordinary cotton does. If you buy an organic duvet, it may not be filled with feathers, the same way that traditional ones are. Instead, your duvet might be full of organic cotton fluff, bamboo fibers, or other materials that can be more sustainable and ethically produced. Lambs wool and camel hair are other popular stuffings for an organic duvet. Be sure to check out the product you're planning on buying to make sure that any substitutions will work well for you. However, almost all these organically produced products are high in quality and will serve you for a long time. That way, you can enjoy a great organic duvet and duvet cover, and know that you're doing your part for the environment.
