    need help with...umm...duvet covers...

    so I bought a down comforter set http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....PROD_ID=373354

    but it didn't come with a duvet cover. I'm thinking about getting one but I need advice from people who know what to buy.

    From overstock I was thinking this:
    205 tc Solid Duvet Cover Set
    http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....PROD_ID=434615

    or this:
    White Down Comforter and Duvet Cover Set
    http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....PROD_ID=456868

    but if I'm paying $50-60, I might as well go to target and buy something like this:
    Indulgence by Martex Duvet Covers - Pearl
    http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html...sin=B00006HCCP

    or:
    Indulgence Celadon Duvet Cover
    http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html...sin=B0000644N6

    since I could not wait a week and a half to get it. What do you guys think?

    It all depends on what your place looks like. I have numerous comforter covers (I cant bring myself to say Duvet)..some are nice Ralph Lauren ones that were bought at the RL outlet or department stroes. Others I bought at Ikea. The one I have on my bed right now I got for $9.99 from Ikea, its a really light blue with a pattern in it. Soft too.

    Whats funny is I dont cheap out on my sheets, go with 300+ thread counts but the comforter cover never really touches my skin so a 200+ thread count works.

    It also depends on how thick the down comforter you bought is. If the feathers inside are kinda poking out, you may want to get a duvet cover with a higher thread count so the feathers don't poke through everything.

    Bed, Bath and Beyond or Linens-N-Things usually have 20% off coupons or $5 of $15. So you might want to do some compare and shop.
