Using a duvet cover feels completely normal. You buy a duvet and then choose a matching cover. But have you ever wondered why?
The main reason is washing. Traditional duvets are difficult to wash at home. A separate duvet cover protects the duvet from sweat and everyday dirt. You wash the cover regularly. The duvet itself is washed much less often.
Today there is another option. Washable duvets make a separate duvet cover unnecessary. The sleeping surface becomes part of the duvet itself so you can wash the entire duvet in one go.
Most washable duvets have a fully quilted outer layer. Plumelle takes a different approach. Its patented construction uses a fixed outer layer made from 100% percale cotton that helps protect the filling. You still sleep under soft cotton just as you're used to but without the hassle of putting on a separate duvet cover.
For many years very little changed in duvet design. The materials became lighter and warmer. The basic idea stayed the same. A duvet always needed a separate cover.
Plumelle has taken the next step with its patented construction. It combines the familiar feel of a traditional duvet with the convenience of a washable duvet without a separate duvet cover.
