Best Answer

Air is a good isolator. She fluffs up her duvet to get a thicker layer of air in the duvet covering her body, making it harder for thermal energy to transport from her body into the colder air around her.

A fluffy duvet is better as an isolator than a flat duvet.

Can you get duvet covers for different seasons?

Yes and no. You can get duvet covers in fabrics that are traditionally associated with different seasons (for instance, percale for Summer and flannel for Winter). However, the cover doesn't add much warmth to the duvet - if you want extra warmth for Winter, get a duvet with more filling, and if you just need a little extra warmth for cool nights in Summer, get one with just a small amount of filling.

How much linen bedding is enough during winter?

The quantity of linen bedding needed in the winter will depend on the other types of bedding that are used. For instance a duvet cover and an undersheet will be sufficient if a duvet is used, but you may choose to have a topsheet as well. Flanelette or brushed cotton will also keep you warm in cold weather.


How do you use a duvet cover?

A duvet cover is used as an envelope to hold a duvet. To insert the duvet into the duvet cover, first spread the duvet cover flat over the bed. Open the bottom of the duvet cover. Find the top of the duvet and grab hold of the two top corners. The tricky part is sliding the duvet into the duvet cover. As best you can, while continuing to hold tight to the duvet corners, work the duvet up to the top of the duvet cover. Place one corner of the duvet into the corresponding corner of the duvet cover. Hold tightly onto that corner from the outside. Next, do the same at the other top corner. Hold tight to both corners and pull them up to the top of the bed. Make sure the middle top side of the duvet also lines up with the middle top side of the duvet cover. Now, as best you can, slide the duvet cover down over top of the duvet. Both the duvet cover and duvet will likely be bunched up, but keep gently working it down. It is a bit tricky. The goal is to get the bottom two corners of the duvet aligned into the bottom corners of the duvet cover. When the duvet and cover are mostly aligned, give the covered duvet a good shake to even out the contents. When you are happy with the duvet distribution, do up the bottom of the duvet cover. Now, snuggle up.
