* A duvet is a bag filled with down, feathers, wool or other natural stuffing to create a warm bed covering that takes the place of quilts and bedspreads. Duvet is the French word for down, as in down from birds. Duvets are rather like comforters, except that they have replaceable, washable covers - much like large pillowcases. Duvet covers are useful because duvets usually cannot be washed. Water would ruin the stuffing. However, duvet covers can be laundered along with the sheets and pillowcases. This keeps the duvet fresh as well. Duvet covers button, zip or tie at the top to keep the cover secure.

The answer is - there IS no standard! Duvets can come in quite a range of sizes so the duvet cover needs to fit the size of your particular duvet. The first step would be to measure your duvet itself. Some queen sized duvets are actually called full/queen or double/queen which means they are meant to fit both a double bed and a queen sized bed. In my experience, any duvet so labeled is usually a bit smaller than one labeled just queen. I clicked around to find some examples of the measurements of duvets and duvet covers. I looked at sites with directions for how to sew your own cover and at sites which showed ready made duvet covers from well-known stores and here are some examples I came across. You will see that there is a very large variation in sizes quoted so for certain it's buyer beware. Also bear in mind if you are purchasing a cover, that you may have to account for shrinkage so the size may be inflated to accommodate that. http://sewing.about.com/library/weekly/aa012699.htm (Sew your own duvet cover) says a queen duvet cover is 90" by 102" http:/blog.worldvillage.com/home/making_a_duvet_cover_queen_size.html (Making a Duvet Cover) mentions a variety of sizes for a duvet - 86" x 86", 90" x 90", 96" x 92" and gives instructions about how to add to the duvet measurements to get the appropriate finished size for a duvet cover. http:/www.sweetbedbugs.com/ducoqsi.html - queen duvet cover 94" by 99" http:/www.kohlscorporation.com/ecom/valueadded/ProductGuides/Bedding_Comforters.htm from 86" x 88" to 88" x 94" http://answers.sears.ca/answers/1367-en_ca/product/9611675S/questions.htm 88" x 90" http://www.potterybarn.com/products/p12329/index.cfm?pkey=call-duvet-covers-shams (found on product info tab) 92 x 88 HTH - if you are wanting info about sewing a duvet cover, I can provide you lots of sites with instructions for doing that.
Well, you could put in in there, but it will not lay flat. The queen sized comforter will be at least 20 inches wider than a twin. The length would be approximately the same.
The answer would depend on the changing taste of the individual. A duvet cover is no more expensive than a comforter or a bed-in-a-bag. They are popular for many people and helps keep the bedding fresh and clean.
