A duvet is a type of bedding which consists of a flat bag usually stuffed with down or feathers, or both and used as a blanket. Duvets are from Europe where were made from the down feathers of the Eider duck, which is best as an insulator. Edredón is the Spanish translation of duvet.
Duvets are popular in Europe (specially in Northern Europe and Scandinavia where they are the most common way of bed covering). In the twentieth century duvets gained popularity in the rest of the world, for their ease of making a bed. Indeed, duvet is a single covering instead of a combination of sheets, blankets, and quilts or other bed covers, which is traditional in many parts of the world. The cover is called a "duvet cover" or a "quilt cover".
Nowadays, a duvet is sometimes filled with silk, wool, or artificial fibers (such as polyester batting or other artificial material).
It is often confused with a comforter, although comforters go on top of the traditional sheets and blankets and are primarily decorative while duvets are used alone.
In Australia it is called a "Doona", from a trademarked brand name derived from dunn meaning "down feathers". The name "Doona" is a generic term for a duvet or down quilt. Originally the term "continental quilt " was the standard name used across Australia; some regions of Australia still use this term.
In Danish and Norwegian it is called a dyne. In the US, confusion often happens as the word "duvet" may refer to a comforter cover rather than the down blanket itself.

How to fit a Duvet Cover in One Minute
Many people struggle to fit duvet covers. In case you are one of those people this should help you improve your skills.
First, the duvet should be laid flat out across the bed, with the dirty cover removed. The clean cover must be inside out.
Put your hands inside the duvet cover and grasp the two corners furthest from the opening. Wearing it like a huge glove, carefully take hold of the top corners of the duvet.
Lift both the cover and the duvet and give the whole lot a little shake. The cover should fall down over the duvet, although you might need to move it along to get the opening over the top. Hold both in the air and continue shaking. You can either stand on the bed, letting gravity do all the work, or put the whole thing down and pick it up by gripping the sides nearer the bottom. Carry on shaking until the cover is at the bottom, then turn it upside down and repeat the glove trick on the bottom corners (This will not be necessary if the opening is the full width of the cover, although a good shake will still be needed) with another shake to settle it in smoothly.
With a little practice this can be done in under than 60 seconds.
