What Is A Coverlet?

The coverlet, which typically sits atop the duvet or other thick covers, is generally more decorative than functional. Coverlets can be found being used as picnic or throw blankets in addition to adorning the random luxury bed. Their purpose is less to keep warm than to decorate and, as such, they're not terribly thick. Duvet covers have been steadily replacing coverlets in most luxury bedding ensembles for quite a while, though there are still coverlets available for purchase. You'll usually find them in a less expensive luxury bedding set, or packaged alone.
