Quilts, shams, comforters and duvets — there are tons of bedding options to choose from, but if you’re in the market for a duvet and don’t know which one to buy, you’ve come to the right place.

Since good quality duvets (and sheets!) can be expensive, relying on expert recommendations and reviews can be a huge help in figuring out which is best for your needs. Nevertheless, the cost is worth it. After all, it’s estimated we spend nearly half our lives lying in bed, so it’s probably worth the investment.

“Although a high-quality duvet cover and insert set is an investment when purchasing, it will save you money, time and frustration over time,” Karin Sun, textile expert and founder of Crane & Canopy told the New York Post. “Since a duvet cover is easy to wash and dry with other bedding, you’re more likely to launder frequently enough for better hygiene and overall health.”

In an effort to help you create the perfect oasis in your bedroom, we spoke with a variety of textile experts, interior designers and other sleep experts to get the lowdown on the best duvet covers on the market.

Brands include Brooklinen, Parachute, Cozy Earth and more for those looking for crisp, luxurious duvets. If you just need a duvet insert, pillows or sheets, many of these retailers tend to sell the whole package!

Before you start shopping, Sun explained the differences in duvet materials below:

  • Sateen is a type of weave in cotton material and results in an incredibly soft, silky smooth feel. This is a great choice for most people, just make sure you opt for 100% cotton sateen. Ideal for most sleepers.
  • Percale is another type of cotton weave that is crisp, cool and luxurious, similar to a great classic white button-down shirt. 100% cotton percale is lightweight and only gets softer with time. It is one of the most durable materials for a duvet cover.
  • Linen is well known for its breathability, natural cooling effect, and absorbency – it can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture, making it a popular all-season fabric choice for warmer climates.
  • 100% Bamboo Rayon is a great for summer and hot sleepers, as it wicks moisture, reduces humidity and stretches, all while staying extremely soft. 
  • Jersey knits are stretchy and soft, similar to a T-shirt. Unfortunately, many jersey sheets are cotton-synthetic blends which I’d avoid, but 100% cotton jersey is a better option.

When it comes to duvet covers, Parachute Home is Shaffer’s top choice.

“Parachute Home is always keeping their products simple and timeless with a strong focus on craftsmanship,” Shaffer said. “One of the standout features of this duvet cover is the internal ties. These ties are strategically placed inside the cover to keep your comforter in place and prevent it from shifting or bunching up. This is a great feature for anyone who struggles with a lumpy or an uneven bedding problem.”

Parachute Home’s Sateen Duvet Cover is made in Portugal from 100% premium, certified long-staple Egyptian cotton. This duvet is ultra-soft and durable with a smooth feel that only gets better with time.

Customer review: “These sheets are to die for. This is our third pair and it’s amazing how soft these new ones feel! We absolutely love them and they’re worth their price.”

Most Soft: Brooklinen Luxe Duvet Cover

Pros:

  • Made with 480 thread count long-staple cotton
  • Available in 16 different colors, including two limited editions
  • OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified

As someone who has owned my very own Brooklinen duvet cover and sheets for years, I can attest — bedding doesn’t get much better than this! Every night will feel like you’re jumping into a hotel bed, thanks to the ultra-soft, rich feeling material. As for durability, every time I wash the duvet, it seems to get even softer.

Brooklinen’s bestselling Luxe Duvet Cover comes in many different colors and has more than 7,700 raving reviews.

“They offer silky, smooth comfort thanks to 100% long-staple cotton and the 480-thread count weave features a rich, lustrous look that can be enjoyed year-round by hot and cold sleepers alike,” Elks told The Post.

Best for Hot Sleepers: Buffy Eucalyptus Duvet Cover

Pros:

  • Made from Tencel eucalyptus lyocell fibers
  • Naturally cooling and moisture-wicking
  • Available in 15 colors

Cons:

  • The free night trial details are a tad confusing, but this duvet is so lovely, we doubt you’ll return it

For a sustainable pick, well-loved by much of the Internet and Shaffer, go for the Buffy Eucalyptus Duvet.

“Buffy’s eucalyptus fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it’s free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use. This certification ensures that the Buffy Eucalyptus Cover is not only good for the planet, but also good for your health,” Shaffer explained.

“Eucalyptus is a rapidly renewable resource that requires less water and pesticides to grow than traditional cotton. Additionally, the process used to turn eucalyptus into fabric uses less energy and creates less waste than the process used to produce other types of textiles.”

Customer review: “The cover feels wonderful to the touch. A must have for all seasons.”

Best Lightweight: Serena & Lily Portofino Linen Duvet Cover

Pros:

  • Made from 100% European-based flax
  • Becomes softer with each wash

Cons:

If you live in a warmer climate or like to switch your bedding out during the spring and summer, linen is the way to go. Gill’s top choice? Serena and Lily’s Portofino Linen Duvet Cover.

“This duvet is not only incredibly durable, but is also sateen lined, so you can sleep without any flat sheet and feel only the softest side,” Gill said. “You can’t beat the price and color way options either!”

With nearly 1,000 positive reviewers from Target and a price point, no more than $110 (depending on the size of your bed) — what’s not to love?

Customer review: “I love this duvet! It’s so soft and has a great weight to it.”

It has eight corner ties, as well as a zipper corner, and has a lovely natural texture that will make you never want to leave your bed.

  • Made of 100% cotton from Portugal

Made of 100% cotton in a woven construction, you can expect a soft and comfortable sleep experience. Four twill ties are at each corner of the duvet cover, and the pillow (also part of the bundle) can be ordered in down or in a down alternative.

Customer review: “We LOVE this duvet cover and Parachute Duvet insert. It’s lightweight and comfortable. We tried a duvet cover from somewhere else first, and it was so heavy we felt like it was a weighted blanket. But the Parachute duvet cover is light and so cozy!”

Bundle includes:1 fitted sheet, 2 pillows, 1 duvet cover, 1 duvet insert, 1 fitted pillow case

Best Silk: SilkSilky 19Momme 3-Piece Silk Duvet Cover and Pillows

Pros:

  • Made from 100% mulberry silk
  • Available in 16 colors
  • Naturally thermoregulating

Cons:

  • Not available in XL Twin
  • Must message site to order zippered pillow cases

For some folks, there’s nothing more luxurious than silk, especially in the form of bedding. We like this option from SilkSilky. It’s cool to the touch, remains soft after washing and comes in a variety of very bright colors, perfect for the person who’s not into the “earthy” aesthetic. Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic, so this is also a great option for those with allergies or who want to avoid synthetic material.

Customer review: “This silk duvet cover fits my duvet perfectly. It has lots of ties to keep it in place and a great zipper closure that you can’t see. It looks great on the bed and gives a clean and neat look… It washes well and is super comfortable. Very soft. I love it!”

Best Sateen: Under The Canopy Organic Sateen Duvet Cover Set

Pros:

  • Made from 100% organic cotton
  • Available in six colors
  • Cover has 9 button bottom closures corner ties

Cons:

  • Better for colder weather/seasons

As Sun explained, duvet covers made of sateen have a silky smooth feel and are very comfortable. This one from Under The Canopy has our vote because it’s made with 100% organic cotton, has button closures, as well as ties, and is made in an eco-friendly facility. The set comes with two shams that have envelope closures, and both the cover and shams have flange detail — simply lovely. It’s warm, so we recommend this for fall or winter. However, if you’re always cold, you may love it year-round.

Customer review: “I absolutely LOVE this duvet cover! We have 2 sets of sheets in the same material and it is so comfy!”

Best rated: Amazon Basics Lightweight Microfiber 3-Piece Duvet Cover Set with Zipper Closure

Pros:

  • Available in 25 different colors/patterns
  • Option for set to come with zipper closure or snap buttons
  • More than 50,000 ratings on Amazon

Cons:

  • Made from 100% polyester, so not a good choice for those looking to avoid synthetics

You’re probably already familiar with bedding from Amazon Basics. It’s the brand to know when you’re looking for something budget-friendly that’s also well constructed. This specific duvet cover set has 54,000 plus ratings attached to its name, including 32,000 that are five star. We love that there’s an option of picking what type of closure the cover comes with, as well as the fact that the microfiber material is wrinkle-resistant. It won’t be for you if you loathe polyester. However, if that’s a non-issue, you’ll be impressed at the sets durability.

Customer review: “This product — OMG! Amazon did its thing! The color is perfect, not to mention the material and how comfortable it is. It makes you feel just at the right temperature; not too cold or hot, and with the AC kicking or rain failing…love it! The weight is okay, too.”

Best Bundle: Piglet in Bed Spring Sprig Printed Cotton Bundle

Pros:

  • Made of cotton material
  • Options to build bundle as needed

Cons:

  • Only available in one color

For those who hate to piecemeal their bedding together, we hear you and have you covered — literally. This bundle from Pig in Bed comes with a duvet covet, two pillow cases, a fitted or flat sheet, plus options to add more on. Easy peasy lemon squeezy, right? OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified, the cotton duvet cover set is soft, not very heavy, and offers a simple but elegant look that you’ll love if you like the shabby-chic look. However, if it’s not to your liking, the brand has plenty of other duvet cover options.

Best Cooling: Saatva Organic Percale Duvet Cover Set

Pros:

  • Made with 100% organic cotton
  • Available in three colors
  • Hidden zip closure on duvet cover

Cons:

  • Twin and Twin XL sets only come with one pillow sham

Sleeping in a cool environment can promote better snoozing, which is why we like the Saatva Organic Percale Duvet Cover Set. Along with coming with two pillow shams (only available for sizes Full to King), the bedding is crisp as a spring day and ultra soft. If you like the feel of getting into a freshly turned down hotel bed, these are for you. The cover has a hidden zipper but also four tie corners, which we like for a comforter budge-free experience.

Best with Sheet: Bed Threads 100% French Flax Linen Bedding Set

Pros:

  • Available in 27 colors/patterns
  • Made of chemical free, 100% French flax linen
  • Durable

Cons:

  • No sleep trial

We don’t know what we love more: the colors this set comes in or how wonderful if feels against the skin. OEKO TEX certified, the 100% French Flax linen is not only breathable but durable with a lovely texture that will excite you as soon as you walk into your bedroom. It’s naturally thermoregulating, too, and gets softer with each wash! The set comes with a fitted sheet, as well as two standard pillow cases, and everything is anti-static and anti-bacterial.

Customer review: “I researched bedding for our new home for months. For the quality at this reasonable price point, the Bed Threads flax linen was the clear choice. The linen laundered beautifully, the sheet fit our very ample mattress, and the duvet cover tie corners [help the duvet to stay in place]. The linen doesn’t wrinkle as much as I had anticipated, and I think the slight wrinkling adds to the charm and natural elegance.”

Who makes the best quality duvet covers?

While ‘best’ is always a subjective thing, there are a variety of high quality duvet covers that experts, as well as customers, love.

One brand that makes some of the best duvet covers is Brooklinen. It have picks made from organic cotton, sateen and linen, each in a variety of lovely styles, complete with corner ties for a secure fit. It also have amazing comforters, and you can even pick the fill they come in!

Another brand to shop is Parachute. It has a huge — and we mean huge — selection of duvet covers and duvet cover sets. It only uses premium, high-quality materials, such as 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton and linen, plus it uses sustainable practices in the manufacturing process, which is a huge bonus.

What are the best sheets and duvet covers for hot sleepers?

For hot sleepers, choosing the right duvet cover and sheets can promote a more comfortable sleep experience. Look for cooling materials and fibers, like silk, linen, or bamboo, which are breathable and light.

LUXOME, for example, has a gorgeous Luxury Sheet Set ($160), which is made from viscose bamboo. They’re naturally thermoregulating and moisture-wicking, and have a 400 thread count.

Buffy is another place to look for sheets and duvet covers if you’re a sweaty sleeper. The brand’s Eucalyptus Duvet Cover is a favorite of one of our experts, comes in variety of colors and sizes, and is cooling to the skin.

What is the most durable material for a duvet cover?

Although the construction of a duvet cover plays a large role in its durability, high-quality cotton is surprisingly resilient. Long-staple cotton, specifically, such as Egyptian cotton or Pima cotton, have stronger fibers which can last longer, saving you money in the grand scheme of things.

Cotton is also breathable and good for those with sensitive skin. Here are some of our favorite picks made from the material:
