I Test Bedding for a Living, and This Zip-Up Duvet Cover Is the Only One That Keeps My Comforter in All Four Corners (I Got You an Exclusive Discount)

I’ve been working in the media world since the days before the internet existed, starting my career as an assistant for a small publisher at Time Inc. Eventually, I went on to hold editorial roles at Martha Stewart Living, InTouch, and OK! magazines, and contributed to titles such as Travel + Leisure and Brides. On the digital front, I oversaw content for the websites for The Oprah Winfrey Show and The View, and managed People.com’s day-to-day operations as deputy editor. While at People.com, I had the opportunity to join the parent company’s first commerce team, spearheading the shoppable content strategy for brands including People, InStyle, Essence, and Entertainment Weekly. I was excited by this new world of e-commerce and loved providing readers with the best products to suit their lifestyle. That ultimately led me to Apartment Therapy Media, where I currently oversee a team dedicated to testing and writing about products that can help anyone create a healthy, happy home on any budget. (I’m a bargain hunter and never pay full price.) Whether you’re looking for a new sofa, a nonstick frying pan, or a dreamy comforter, we’ll tell you which ones are worth your money.

I’ve tested a lot of bedding for Apartment Therapy, and have tried everything from luxe linens to budget-friendly finds. I’ve found fantastic pillows, sheets, comforters, and mattress toppers on both sides of the price spectrum, but one category that’s continued to disappoint me is duvet covers. Cheap or expensive, they’ve always let me down. It’s always a struggle to get my comforter inside one, and after months of use, the comforter inevitably slips and I end up with an empty corner flap that needs “refilling.” So when I was given the opportunity to try the Nuvet cover (aka a zip-up duvet cover), I jumped at the chance. After being burned by so many other brands, I wasn’t convinced that this one would be any different. And I couldn’t have been more wrong! It exceeded my expectations, and not only makes inserting my comforter a snap (or a zip!), but also keeps the corners from slipping!

What Is the Nuvet Cover?

Made of luxe 100% Supima cotton, the Nuvet Cover is an innovative duvet cover with a patented three-sided zipper technology that simplifies the bed-making experience. All you have to do is unzip the Nuvet, lay it flat on your bed, put your comforter on top of it, and secure the corners in the corner pockets. Then just zip the Nuvet back up, with the comforter effortlessly inside of it. That’s it! The Nuvet Cover is available in queen and king sizes and comes in six colorways: White (my pick), Bourdon White, Navy, Bourdon Navy, Seafoam, and Bourdon Seafoam. Caring for the Nuvet Cover is just as easy: Machine wash on a normal/warm cycle, then tumble dry on low. 

Why I Love the Nuvet Cover

The end of the struggle is real! Since switching to the Nuvet cover, I no longer waste time punching my comforter into place inside the duvet cover, tugging at it so that it fills out evenly. Now it takes mere seconds to do the job. And once the comforter is in there, it stays secure. Seriously! In the four months that I’ve used the Nuvet, I have not had any issues with the comforter slipping and leaving any corners empty. This is the only duvet cover I’ve owned that hasn’t suffered from empty corner flaps or a bunched-up middle, and it’s pretty miraculous!

Here’s the other thing I love about the Nuvet cover: It’s so luxuriously soft and comfortable, and the cotton feels cool to the touch. I’ve used it with my all-season comforter throughout spring’s hot-and-cold temperatures and summer’s brutal heatwave, and I’ve always had a restful sleep. And just when I thought the Nuvet cover couldn’t get any better, it’s only gotten softer with each wash. 

The Nuvet cover, currently on sale for $142.50 (normally $190) has truly been a game changer for me, and I’m constantly recommending it to friends and family. It’s the dreamiest addition I’ve made to my bed in ages, and I’m never going back to a traditional duvet cover again. If you’d like to experience the Nuvet cover for yourself, now’s the perfect time, because I got Apartment Therapy readers an exclusive extra 20%. Through September 3, you can get it for $114 by entering code AT20 at checkout.
