A duvet is similar to a comforter except it requires the use of a duvet cover, where a comforter does not. Typically, a duvet is solid white and stuffed with down or a down alternative.

 For those who like a balance between two extremes, a medium-weight duvet insert is the perfect choice.  Medium Weight Duvet Insert provides a moderate level of warmth, making it suitable for year-round use in many climates.  The mid-weight down comforter core provides enough warmth to keep you cozy without feeling too heavy or light.

Joseph Jacquard invented this weaving technique in 1804. A special loom is used to weave a pattern directly into the fabric.
