Duvets and covers
I have done a search on duvets and can't find the answer to this question:
What kind of comforter do you buy to put in a duvet cover? Over here, they call a dovet cover a "duvet" so how do you figure out what an actual English-style duvet is? Do I just buy a standard white comforter?
I'm not going back to England for a while so I need to buy a duvet that uses covers here. I am sick of washing my comforter.

Re: Duvets and covers
most stores sell proper duvets, bed, bath and beyond, macy's, robinsons may, sears etc..Ikea too as mentioned but their sizes always seem a little off so a duvet cover form elsewhere never seems to fit properly..
mail order companys include www.westelm.com www.roomandboard.com www.garnethill.com these also sell nice duvet covers depending on what style you like as most of the ones in the store look like something my granny would like unless you're willing to spend $400 on a cover alone..

Linens and Things, as well as Bed, Bath and Beyond sell the inward duvets that you're looking for. They also sell duvet covers.

Re: Duvets and covers
I cant believe how expensive bedding is here, especially duvet covers and then you have to buy the pillow cases separately. One set I saw the pillow cases were $50 each!
