Duvet covers enclose an insert. They are designed to be opened up and have the 'plush' part removed. It's important to note though that some people mistakenly refer to comforters and duvet covers.

A duvet is a soft quilt or comforter. A Duvet Cover is actually a decorative cover, it's designed to look good rather than to actually keep you warm like a quilt.
