What Is A Duvet?

Eiderdown, which is harvested from Eider Ducks, is what the traditional duvet is stuffed with. The duvet was initially created more for warmth than luxury. However, duvets that are still made in the traditional manner, with Eiderdown, are definitely luxurious bedding, now that the concept of the duvet is known around the world. The duvet is meant as a replacement for blankets and comforters and, as Eiderdown is not easy to clean, duvets are generally covered with a duvet cover.
