They are

Same wtf, I thought this video was a joke at first. I have never slept without one and know no one that does. It is actually really gross because you are not supposed to wash your duvet, at least not often. So all your sweat and dirt gets into the duvet. And also, duvet covers are much easier to wash and dry. And it is cheaper to buy one duvet and a few covers. Because if you have a duvet of good quality it is very expensive.

They're very common actually idk where she has been

@@salmon1290 Maybe it depends on location or how you were raised. I'm 44,growing up we had bedspreads. A very thin decorative blanket that went on top of sheets and blankets. My entire adult life I've bought bed sets. Fitted and flat sheet,comforter,pillow cases and curtains. I've never even seen a duvet in real life.

@@robiendenhollander6333 Right? It's incredibly unhygienic to sleep directly against the duvet. Plus if she washed the duvet itself as often as you should wash the duvet covers (once per week) then it would be destroyed pretty quickly.

Literally, I have a collection, 4 seasons duvet cover sets, various colors and fabrics, even some for the holidays😅 aren’t ppl buying duvet cover sets with matching pillow cases and at times bedsheets?? 😮 I’m culturally shocked!

For real. i change my room style so much that there is no way i could just use a comforter

sameee when i was younger my mom never let me sleep without the duvet cover💀

@• who? •• same

Mama I don't have a bed

A comforter is more a padded blanket it's not a duvet as we'd know it in the UK.

Oh, that's why I saw so much confusion about terminology in another video. I didn't know some countries call the blanket portion itself a duvet.

same in canada but comforters aren’t the same as a duvet. duvets are like a ranch version of a comforter. comforters don’t come with covers. it’s just a fluffy thicker blanket while duvets are more high end and come with loops on the corners to change the top layer while comforters don’t

yess i have been searching for this comment im in 🇬🇧 and i just recently visited florida and found out they don’t have duvets THEY JUST HAVE SHEETS 😨

@@izanai3790 what? I grew up in Asia and we used duvet cover the whole time

I only know of it cause I have relatives overseas who sent us bed sets (comforter, top sheet, fitted sheet, and pillow case), but I’ve only ever used the whole thing when we got an A/C. Maybe because it’s hot and it doesn’t get too cold, and that most of us only have fans at home as opposed to an A/C or a centralized home so it’s more common to just have a thin blanket.

Same!!! Really never got what it was until recently.

Y’all’s bedding is too heavy for majority of the states. It’s like 39° c today with an overnight of 22°c where I live in California, and it’s not even officially summer yet. I slept with the air conditioner on all night last night and only a sheet over me. In a few weeks our overnight lows won’t get below 25°c.

@@wesleywright6458 In summer where I live we get similar temps below 20 at night is rare. It just also gets a looot colder in winter, about -15 to -5 depending on the year. that's why we use duvets in winter and no blanket or just duvet Covers in summer. If you really wanted to you could also buy a summer duvet much lighter und breathable than the winter version.

@@wesleywright6458 you can get different duvets with different tog ratings and change for winter versus summer. On really hot nights I skip the duvet and just use the cover as a flat sheet.

So are us aussies

that's so weird for me, because i live in South Africa, and here a duvet cover is the norm. few people know about comforters and it's usually only the rich people who have them

@@cherrycub7295 no cause same

In Australia you get the duvet cover with matching pillows, and sometimes even matching sheets for reasonable costs. If I had to sleep under a naked duvet I’d puke lmao.

@@Catalina-Winemixer same, they come together always, like what the fuck

This is so so weird. Comforter aren't blankets. Duvets are blankets you use to sleep.

@@sickening_love1154 ah, yeah I didn’t think ab that being an option

....I don't even own a comforter let alone a cover for it 💀💀💀

Ikr, like wtf, that would be so weird

washing a comforter is pretty easy it’s just like any other clothes in the washer and dryer. for some people it’s just easier instead of taking apart the duvet every time

I think we just have thicker duvets than most places. My duvet literally wouldn't fit in the washing machine and would take yearssss to dry. Literally everybody has duvet covers here and I've never heard the word comforter lol. Guess we're all learning 🤷‍♀️

That's so much work, it seems easier just to wash the blanket. It's only one load in the washer and dryer.

I always grab the corners and dive inside the cover lol My dad used to zip me up and try to make the bed with me inside, I never learned how to do it properly 🤣

@@GillyFromPhilly nope. The duvet cover is the cover. This is what Google said about the difference between a duvet and a comforter. "First off, a comforter is made to be used as is - it's one complete, quilted piece. A duvet, on the other hand, is meant to be used with a duvet cover, coverlet, or top quilt. This makes a comforter a bit easier to use, but duvets are easier to clean."

Lol exactly

literally

yeah

Exactly 😂😂

Yep

Same 😂

But your blanket , im assuming has a cover that is washed.. Mine is.. Specially in winters when we use cotton stuffed rajai, which is non washable.. The covers are a must.. Trust me we are more civilized than americans even if our cost of living is much lower than them.

@@mundanemonday7091 I am from the South so it's not that cold during winter.. We use quilts during winters and they are all washable.. We do have a few quilts that are handmade not sure if they are Razais but they are washable...Ik we are civilized than the west but these things are seemed a little too over the top for me..lol now I understand that they can't wash them that's why they have covers..

@@feat.onewoo i am from northen side. Here during summer we use sheets but during winters we bring out the quilts, put them in sun. They have clean covers , which are washed frequently. By end of winters the covers are washed for the final time, put on quilts and stored for next winters.. Its a big task 😂 requiring more than one pair of hands, because we need to cover and stow away entire families quilts.

​@@feat.onewoo im from south side too! which state/ city youre from? well im an army! i see you're a kpop stan

This comment. Doesn't matter if you grew up with duvet covers or not, still sucks to change them 🤣

Especially when the duvet/doona shrinks a bit from laundering and then you get a sad gap of just empty cover.

@@opheliamaples You aren't supposed to wash the duvet/comforter itself though are you?

@@novakitty1619 Yes we wash them ourselves. Almost everyone I know does. The majority of them are machine washable. People with smaller washing machines take their blankets to a laundromat with industrial sized machines. There are also blanket-washing companies for the fancier and expensive blankets and pillows like duck or goose down. Those services usually offer pick-up and drop-off.

@@opheliamaples There's a lot of competing information in these comments then. Lots of people are saying that you aren't even supposed to wash the comforter itself, that it'll ruin it, and that's why you have the duvet cover.

Thankyou! I've tried teaching my kids (and husband....) that this is the easiest way to do it, but thats obviously waaay too complicated meaning I'm the one who has to change the duvets all the time.

You've definitely helped me out when I finally decide to get one

The sausage technique is really helpful too

Yes! I thought thats how everyone put them on and also thought duvet covers (we call then doona covers in Australia) were standard. I've never not had a dooma cover on my bed.

Ye Srry auto correct

Same here, but I can see why sleeping without one would actually be comfortable too. The duvet itself is very silky and soft - way too susceptible to stains though and often don't look that great, hence the duvet cover haha.

Or if you get cheap duvet covers that are too big despite being marketed as single

It's a lighter duvet that already has patterns on it so it doesn't need a cover. You wash it regularly with your other sheets

@@Alien-Porridge If you're using a top sheet then you don't need to wash the comforter as often.

Ikr 😆 I was thinking how would one ever sleep like this in a tropical climate. Also, I don't think they use those hotdog shaped long pillows. It is called kolbalish in Bengali and I use two of them 😅

Have you been to the mountains or hilly places? We got a whole subcontinent as a country. A comforter is not even close to being enough to keep you warm enough to sleep in those places

yes i do too lmao 😭

Comforters here in the US are meant to be used as is (no cover needed) and already come with patterns/designs. They are also pretty cheap around $20 - $40 and are lighter than duvet's so they can get machine washed weekly and be perfectly fine. Also here in the US people use the flat sheet underneath the comforter to sleep and that gets washed weekly.

And then u sleep onto of it all and use a blanket to cover yourself up 😭😭

Frr

Im also british and same I litterally have a duvet cover just for christmas xd

ig it's just america that's weird, I'm from middle Europe and as far as I know everyone uses duvet cover

Right?

I'm gonna blow your mind then 😉 there's also something called a bedspread & nope.. comforters & bedspreads are not the same type of "blankets" 🤯

Thank you; the confusion in the video and comment section were driving me crazy. Comforters get paired with a flat sheet to protect them; duvets get paired with a duvet cover. Comforters and duvets are not the same thing.

I've grown up in the US, and I always have used a soft padded mattress cover under a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and a quilt. We have heavier, thicker quilts for the winter and a thinner cotton one for the summer. I wash the fitted and flat sheets with the pillowcases weekly and the quilts and mattress cover monthly. Never had a duvet, but I'd love to try one!

@@treelicker once you try one you'll never go back. You don't have to worry about the sheet getting separated from your comforter and tangled in your legs or anything like that. They are light because of the air in them so you can go up a few togs for winter but still keep the lightness.

@@treelicker I bought a duvet with a cover nice quality but to heavy and hot for the texas weather. It only came in handy when it snowed this year and last year.

Thank you for this. This is so interesting. As a Filipino, I only know bedsheet, pillowcase, and blanket😂 I've heard of duvet but I didn't know how it's different to comforter (a more familiar word used here). I most probably confused the two. It's like carbonara and spaghetti all over again. Like how the rest of the world has bolognese, marinara, puttanesca etc. but when served to a Filipino it all becomes "spaghetti"😂 and anything with white sauce is "carbonara"

Where are you from? I'm Malaysian. And honestly the only place I've seen a duvet is in a hotel. I don't know anyone who uses a duvet at home, most people use quilts or comforters

Nah of course not but it still is a bit mindbogeling when you actually meet someone with such a different life experience that you dont even know to ask about differences. I had a flatmate whod lived for years in Germany at that point (but only with other Indians) and until she saw my bed had never ever thought to ask how we survive winter with low heating and without using 100 wool blankets to stay warm (the only kind of blanket she knew). After that she and her whole family got an education in blankets and bed sheets and the whole time we lived together we were much much conscious of the fact that something so fundamental for one of us might not be known to the other at all.

Fucking exactly, my family is poor as hell, barely gets enough money to buy groceries every month to the point where we had to eat only eggs every day for 3 weeks straight and we're just trying to survive and here these people are whining and disgusted that some people don't use a goddamn blanket cover like it's the end of the world. News flash people. Not. Everyone. Can. Afford. Nice. Things. You're just lucky

@@almond2954 I think it's because in most European countries duvet covers aren't really just a rich person thing. They can be cheap and more cost effective since you don't have to keep wasting washes on a whole duvet. We're not surprised because it's a luxury some folks can't afford. We're surprised because honestly most households in our countries know what a duvet cover is, even the poor ones. If there's luxury to come from our covers, it's dependent on the design or material used, not the very act of purchasing one. It's not said out of predudice AT ALL so chill

Yea I slept on a mattress with a fitted sheet on the floor and a thin ass blanket.

no I'm surprised bcs duvet cover is standard thing in my country in every household. and you can buy plain cotton ones for cheap price
