So they do, even had some decent offers on. But wife and I couldn't agree on one we both liked so gave up!
About 6 months too early. Local branch is still under construction - I mixed up with JC Penny.

Re: Duvet/Duvet Cover/Comforter aghhhhhhhhh
So I've been in the USA now for a four years and I still don't understand how to explain to my wife that we need a duvet and some duvet covers. She doesn't get it and starts confusing me with terms like quilt/blanket/down comforter.
I just want a fluffy duvet and some covers, and nobody seems to understand what I am on about. Am I missing something here, does anyone know where I can buy a standard British duvet for a queen sized bed and some covers. I don't want anything fancy just something fluffy and snuggly.

I brought a duvet over with me 
Squished into one of the two big boxes I got shipped over.
My husband is so old-school, sheets and wool blankets! But I hate the blankets as they are so scratchy.

Quilt is hand made, thick, padded blanket.
Comforter is the same as the above, but not hand made.

Yes, we've had to stuff ours away into the attic because it's way too hot 9 months of the year to have it on the bed. I've become a big fan of top-sheets because it's too bl@@dy hot to have anything else covering us this month.
