TIL not everyone uses a duvet (also TIL that that thing's called a duvet). That's really surprising to me, so some people just use the blanket directly? What do you do when it gets dirty, they're really hard to wash?
As posted further down, here's my understanding:
A duvet is hard to wash, but a blanket is about the same as a duvet cover, it's just thicker and thus takes up more space in the washing machine. My washing machine does a good job of spinning out the water, so it doesn't take forever to dry.
A duvet by definition is down. Duvet is the French word for down. Though I'm sure most people don't realize this and use duvet to refer to just about anything blanketlike.
it's only a duvet if it comes from the Duvet region of France, otherwise it's just a sparkling blanket
Oh I wanted to make that joke :(
