IKEA reports the Western U.S. sells more duvets than in the rest of the country.
So will duvets reign supreme in 2025?
In the U.S., most of us are pretty familiar with comforters.
The best thing about a comforter is convenience, Kaplan continues.
Its ready to go straight out of the package, no extra covers or inserts needed.
And the fact that a lot of them aremachine washableis huge when it comes to easy care.
“This may make comforters easier to give as a gift, as well.”
“I think people are seeing more and more about refreshing their home styles,personalizing bedroomsand decor.
Duvets make it really easy to achieve this.
Whats great about duvets is how versatile they are, says Kaplan.
There are practical advantages, too.
it’s like having a tailored sleeping experience every night,” adds Kaplan.
Steiger sees duvets as giving customers more choice about the bang out of materials they surround themselves with.
