A duvet without a cover, you hear about it more and more. But what exactly is it and why are more and more people choosing this way of sleeping? In this blog, we explain it using the popular coverless duvets from Zelesta and show how alternatives like HappyBed distinguish themselves from them. Let's first look at what a duvet without a cover is!
What is a coverless duvet?
A coverless duvet is a duvet that you do not need to pair with a separate duvet cover. Instead, the exterior of the duvet itself is zip-off and machine washable, making it both the duvet and the cover in one.
That means: no more fuss with covers, no shifting corners at night, and much less time spent making your bed.
Why do people choose a duvet without a cover?
More and more people are switching to a coverless duvet, like those from Zelesta or HappyBed. And not without reason. Convenience and hygiene are the two main reasons for this switch.
1. No hassle with covers
Everyone knows it: the struggle with a duvet cover that just doesn't fit right, or the frustrating moment when the duvet ends up bunched at the bottom. With a coverless duvet, those days are gone.
2. Washable = fresh and hygienic
A traditional duvet is hardly ever washed, even though we sweat on it for 6 to 8 hours every night. A washable duvet without a cover makes it possible to wash weekly, just like you wash your pillowcase or sheets.

3. Ideal for people with allergies
Due to the washability and breathable materials, coverless duvets are extremely suitable for people with a dust mite allergy, eczema, or sensitive skin.
