Duvet with tuck-in flap vs duvet without cover: which is more convenient?

Dekbed met instopstrook vs hoesloos dekbed: wat is handiger?

When buying a duvet, you'll soon come across the term tuck-in flap. Handy for tucking in your duvet, right? But what if you no longer need a cover at all? In this blog, we explain the difference between a duvet with a tuck-in flap and a coverless duvet, and why more and more people are switching to the latter.

What is a tuck-in flap? 

A tuck-in flap is an extra piece of fabric at the end of a duvet cover. You tuck this under your mattress to prevent the duvet from shifting or your feet from becoming exposed. Sounds handy – and it was. Until the coverless duvet came along.

What is a coverless duvet?

A coverless duvet (like at HappyBed) does not need a separate cover. The top layer is detachable and fully machine washable. This allows you to use the duvet without a cover and have your bed made in 10 seconds.

HappyBed offers both options

Do you want to enjoy the convenience of a coverless duvet, but still love a neatly tucked bed? Then there's good news: HappyBed offers special coverless duvets with a tuck-in flap. These models are:

Fully washable, just like all other HappyBed duvets
Can be used without a cover
Equipped with an extra tuck-in flap at the bottom, so you can neatly tuck it under your mattress

This combines the comfort of sleeping without a cover with the secure feeling of being tucked in.

Conclusion: what is more convenient?

A tuck-in flap once had its purpose. But with the arrival of the coverless duvet from HappyBed, tucking in is no longer necessary unless you want to. Because at HappyBed, the choice is yours: duvets without covers or with a tuck-in flap, but always hassle-free.
