My mum and dad bless their socks have sent me a a duvet cover. Cost them nearly 20 quid to post which is a stupid amount for it.

Can you buy them here? I hate having to wash the whole duvet thing when a simple cover slip would do the job.

Any online stores. Somebody posted a link before but I think it was only to sheets.

Have to be 100% cotton.

You must be referring to the Americans who grew up in the cornfields, we always called it a duvet and a duvet cover.

Maybe NamDaeMun if you're not up for ordering stuff online - that was the only place where I could find back sheets and pillow slips, not the best quality, but pretty cheap.

I presumed that the girl I met from Ohio and the Montana mountain couple were average Americans. They both called them comforters.

Red state educations.

We call them comforters in Washington State too. A proud 'blue' state of many years running...

I've only ever heard Americans call them comforters................................ And, no. I don't know where to buy them........my wife found excellent 1000 thread count cotton sheets on the Korean internet though. They're beautiful to sleep uner....just like the hospital!!

Go to the Dongdaemun market, the building right next to the Cheongyechon. They have floors and floors of fabrics and will make you a cover if you bring them the measurements (and instructions in Korea if you don't speak it).

New York City..Always called it a comforter but I know what a duvet is as well.

If a duvet = a comforter then I've seen them around before, usually in bedding stores. Nothing unique about it....
