When you're shopping for a duvet, you'll quickly come across the term tuck-in flap. Handy for tucking in your duvet, right? But what if you don't even need a cover anymore? In this blog, we'll explain the difference between a duvet with a tuck-in flap and a duvet without a cover 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 it under your mattress so the duvet doesn't move around or your feet don't end up sticking out. Sounds handy, and it was. Until the duvet without a cover came along.
What is a duvet without a cover?
A duvet without a cover (like Happybed) doesn't need a separate cover. The top layer can be zipped off and is totally machine washable. So you use the duvet without a cover and your bed is made in just 10 seconds.

Comparison: tuck-in flap vs duvet without a cover
| Feature | Duvet with tuck-in flap | Duvet without a cover (Happybed) |
|---|---|---|
| Time to make the bed | 3–5 minutes (cover plus tucking in) | 10 seconds |
| Easy to wash | Only the cover, duvet rarely washed | You can wash the whole duvet |
| Sleep comfort | Duvet cover can shift or fold over | Fits perfectly right away, nothing shifts |
| Need space to tuck in? | Yeah, otherwise the duvet slides away | Nope, stays put right where it should |
| Appearance | Might wrinkle or puff up | Crisp look, hotel vibes |
| Suitable for allergies? | Less (the duvet itself stays unwashed) | Yep, fully washable at 60 °C |
