A duvet cover is another name for a comforter cover. Duvet covers protect a comforter from dirt, oils, hair and stains and are substatially easier to clean than a comforter, especially a down comforter.
Duvet covers are also an easy way to redecorate a room. Duvet covers come in many different styles, colors and patterns. They are easy to slip on and off a comforter, thus, changing the look and feel of a bedroom is a snap.

Comforters Needed For Haiti
The Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is a missionary organization that has workers or financial commitments in 65 countries around the world, including Haiti. Per their website, MCC addresses basic human needs such as water, food and shelter and works alongside communities in a variety of efforts to build peace.
MCC has been active in Haiti for some time, and now, in addition to donations of money, MCC is asking the public to supply 20,000 relief kits, 10,000 heavy comforters and 10,000 sheets for the Haitian earthquake survivors.
These supplies will help relieve the suffering of Haitians who are forced to sleep on the streets and in open areas. MCC’s Haiti staff has requested these supplies based on their first hand knowledge of the disaster.
The comforters and other supplies can be sent to, or dropped off at, the following U.S. and Canadian locations:

Comforter Crime Stories - Part 5
The Sentinel Online in Carlisle, PA reported that last Saturday three comforters and a bedspread were stolen from a laundromat's unattended clothes dryer .
I'm sorry for the loss, but the victim had the right idea. Comforters, especially down comforters, should be washed in a laudromat's front loading washing machines and dried in their larger dryers. Do not dry clean down comforters. Dry cleaning will reduce the down's loft and fluffiness and leave chemical residue in the fibers.

Egyptian Cotton Duvet Covers And Comforters
Why buy and use Egyptian cotton? As the name implies, true Egyptian cotton is grown and produced in Egypt. Egypt's climate and soil help create growing conditions that produce cotton with long fibers which produce very fine yarns that are strong and durable, yet soft.
Egyptian cotton is typically softer and more durable than other cotton. Thus Egyptian cotton will usually be superior to other cotton of equal thread count. This combination of stronger, more comfortable yarns are what make Egyptian cotton attractive. Egyptian cotton duvet covers and comforters can better keep the down inside the shell and protect your down comforter due to its stronger fabric.

Comforter Crime Stories Part 4
A Vermont man is in jail after he was found squatting at a Rutland, VT. house. Apparently, the house was owned by an out of state resident and a neighbor noticed the squatter coming in and out of the empty house.
Per the Rutland Herald Online, the police found the front door unlocked, a door to the basement kicked in and clothing, bedding and other items all over the floors of the bedrooms. The out of state residents that owned the house later told police that several items were missing from the house including four comforters.
Vermont's average high and low temperatures in December are 30 and 15 degrees. The squatter obviously knew the great insulating and warming qualities of comforters.
