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.
