The easiest way to clean a duvet is to send it to a cleaning specialist, who will do it for a small charge. If you have a large washing machine, you might want to do it yourself. Failing that, your best bet is to use a launderette. Special care should be given when loading your duvet and always give it an extra spin, before drying.

Can a duvet hide a bad box spring?
It really depends on the size of your bed. If you have a full or queen size bed a king size or Cal King duvet cover might be able to cover the box spring. I recommend getting a bed skirt which will fully cover the the box spring.
What are standard duvet cover sizes?
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.

Are duvets better than quilts?
AnswerA quilt is a thick quilted blanket/comforter, in various patterns with quilting (stitching) throughout the quilt, securing the top layer, the batting (the stuffing) and the bottom layer together in decorative shapes. Many of the patterns are generations old, handed down from mother to daughter over the years. There are also many patterns that have names, such as the "Wedding Ring" design, the "Log Cabin", and the most basic and simple of all, the "Nine Patch". A comforter is a thick, quilted, fluffy blanket. Sometimes it's decorated and colored, but with dye, not embroidered like a quilt. It is usually filled with a synthetic fiber filler. It does not need a cover and is made to be the bedspread. It is either washed or dry cleaned when it gets dirty.A bedspread is a pre-filled bed cover with stuffing to be used as a decorative and warming bed covering, or is made from a single layer lighter weight fabric, such as chenille, and are used as the top cover on your bed. In the warmer months, they are often used alone, with only a sheet underneath. Bedspreads do not require a duvet, duvet cover, or a comforter.A duvet is a comforter that is filled with down feathers. The duvet is usually white, beige or off-white. It should be placed in a duvet cover. It can be made of down or polyfill.A duvet cover covers a duvet--like a slip on decorator. Most duvets are not decorated and usually people buy duvet covers. Imagine the duvet as a big flat pillow and the duvet cover as a big pillowcase. They keep the down clean and you can change the color of your bed on a moment's whim.As a duvet has a cover around it, it is usually not washed as it does not get dirty. The duvet cover is put in the laundry as a comforter would be. The fact the duvet is not washed means that natural materials (like down) can be used as insulation, which otherwise could be 'damaged' by laundering.
