I have found that a down comforter was my best investment ever. I ordered it from the company store catalog and ten years later still have it. I slip it into various duvet covers fancy or even flannel but nothing keeps you toasty and warm like a down comforter does. It's worth it to get a good quality one. You can wash it on gentle yourself when need be.Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927983874624510031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772849.post-31973064596341326192007-05-20T13:40:00.000-04:002007-05-20T13:40:00.000-04:00I can spend all day in any store that has kitchen ...I can spend all day in any store that has kitchen gadgets but I don't care for the rest of Bed Bath and Beyond! <BR/><BR/>Duvet....isn't that one of those toilets that squirt water at your behind?

Because it is full of minute feathers, a separate cover is used to a)keep from being pricked in your sleep by something other than your consort, and b)minimize the amount of feather dust you are exposed to in order to keep dust allergies at bay.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I avoid the place. It's over-priced for the quality of what they sell and my allergies go haywire with all the scents in there.Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834993203690623780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772849.post-18982670617437577632007-05-18T01:05:00.000-04:002007-05-18T01:05:00.000-04:00A "duvet" is a big fabric envelope into which you ...A "duvet" is a big fabric envelope into which you slip a comforter. Allowing you to change the look of your comforter without buying a new one. And many times they are just as expensive as <I>buying</I> a new comforter would be. <BR/><BR/>You crack me up, Mary.
