Why Did We Choose These Duvet Covers in Canada?
As we evaluated each duvet cover on our list (and many more), they each stood out to us in different ways. Here’s why we chose each of the duvet covers on our list, and why you should, too.
The Silk and Snow Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover is the best duvet cover in Canada overall. This silky smooth duvet is certified with guaranteed materials. Like other Silk and Snow products, it’s assembled and produced in Portugal by skilled artisans.
While cotton is a common material for duvet covers, no one does it quite like the Noa Home Cotton Sateen Quilt Cover. This duvet cover features luxurious drape and a silky-soft feel that can’t be beaten.
The Silk & Snow Percale Duvet Cover uses a percale one-over-one-under weave to create a crisp, breathable texture. This is one of the best weaves for a duvet cover, especially for those who sleep warm.
Hush’s Iced Duvet Cover Set is made with 100% viscose bamboo and designed to keep you cool throughout the night. No matter how hot you sleep, this cover can help reduce the temperature so you don’t wake up sweaty and uncomfortable.
Finally, the Bare Home Duvet Cover Set is the best polyester option we found. This material is soft and smooth, with enough breathability to keep the warmest sleepers cooler at night.
The Silk and Snow Flax Linen Duvet Cover is the best linen duvet cover we found. This option is crisp and fresh, with plenty of airy breathability that will keep you comfortable for years to come. Plus, it has matching sheets.
Bamboo cotton is a rarer material to find for your duvet cover. However, the QE Home Aruba Bamboo Cotton Duvet Cover is a beautiful option that includes a blend of 60% bamboo rayon and 40% cotton. It’s extremely lightweight and wicks away moisture easily.
Muslin duvet covers are rare, and the Silk & Snow Muslin Duvet Cover is the best we found on our list. This cover is extremely soft and breathable, and it gets better with every wash. This duvet cover is lightweight and easy to install, too.
If the thread count is important to you, consider the Kotn Duvet Cover and Sham Set. This cotton option has a 400 thread count, which is higher than most of the other options on our list. It’s softer and more luxurious as a result.
The Simons Maison Embossed Jersey Duvet Cover Set is the best textured option on our list. This lightly-embossed duvet cover helps those who want a little more out of their duvet cover without sacrificing quality or aesthetics.

Silk & Snow’s Percale Duvet Cover is the perfect complement to Silk & Snow’s Percale Sheet Set. Both are made with crisp natural cotton and breathable weave.

If you sleep hot, this duvet cover can help you sleep a little easier.
The weave and materials also help this duvet cover create a hotel feel, which is furthered by the sheets and shams if you choose to purchase them. The natural cotton and organic dyes create a soft but textured feel that wouldn’t be out of place in a high-end hotel.
You can purchase this duvet cover in one of three sizes. Sizes like Twin/Twin XL combine the two options, making it simple to choose the one that fits your duvet. You can also choose Full/Queen or King/California King, depending on the size of your duvet. There are seven colours as well. If you have a neutral bedroom, consider one of the four neutral colours (including white, dust grey, oat, and truffle). Looking for a pop of matte colour? You can choose between the pink rosewood shade, tempest blue, or sage green.
Like the sheets, this duvet cover has a clean and crisp 200 thread count. It’s ideal for use with sheets that have more texture, such as linen options or other percale weaves. As always, the colours and sizes perfectly match the coordinating Silk & Snow sheet set. Each sheet, duvet cover, and pillowcase is made with organic dyes. The dyes carry an OEKO-TEX certification, indicating that they are safe for human use.
The sheets are designed in Canada, but they are designed, dyed, and sewn in Portugal. The company works with the legendary Costa family, who use traditions passed down through generations to create high-quality bedding.
The Highlights
The Silk & Snow Percale Duvet Cover is a crisp, cotton cover that helps keep your duvet clean. It’s breathable and cool for those who sleep hot due to the low thread count and breathable weave. The crisp materials and percale weave system contribute to a hotel feel, which works well with the percale sheet set and Silk & Snow also offers.

Why Trust Us?
Years of experience in the sleep industry have taught us a lot about quality. We’re focused on helping you get the best night of sleep, so all of our recommendations are based on our findings. We’ve put each duvet cover on our list through rigorous evaluations at our test lab. We also sent them home with our group of detail-oriented testers for long-term feedback.
All of this information was compiled, leading to the list of recommendations you see today. Each duvet cover was evaluated based on a few performance areas, such as:
- Materials. What is the cover made of? We made sure that each cover was made with the highest quality of materials, especially when it came to natural fibres.
- Certifications. Certifications can help determine quality and authenticity, so we looked for duvet covers that had at least one material certification.
- Temperature Control. Because most Canadians sleep hot, we looked for duvet covers that could keep you more comfortable and disperse heat a little better.
- Care Options. No one wants to dry clean a King-sized duvet cover. We looked for covers that were easy to care for. We especially favored options that could be washed at home.
Why Should You Use a Duvet Cover?
A duvet cover can serve a lot of purposes. Of course, some duvets recommend using a cover at all times. If you want to make sure that your duvet stays protected and doesn’t start leaking fill, a duvet cover might be the best option for you. Check your duvet to see if a cover is recommended.
When your duvet cover is dirty, you can take it off and wash it. It’s much less of a pain than washing your entire duvet, so this cover allows an easier way to refresh your bed without soiling your duvet.
You can also use your duvet cover to change up the look of your bedroom. If you need to add some new life to your favourite comforter, slide it into a duvet cover. Changing up your bedroom décor? It’s much more efficient to purchase a new duvet cover than to find a new comforter. Sliding your best duvet into a new cover can change it up quite a lot, too – and it’s usually much less expensive than replacing the entire blanket.
How to Choose a Duvet Cover
Choosing a duvet cover seems simple, but there are a few important things you should know before you make a decision.
Sizing
How do you size your duvet cover? This is a contested question, and there are a lot of opinions about it. Rest assured that a duvet cover in any size will be slightly larger than a duvet of the same size. This means that a queen duvet cover, for instance, will be slightly larger than your queen-sized duvet. This is because the duvet covers need additional room to accommodate your duvet without any bunching or stretching. If your duvet cover is a few inches larger than your duvet, don’t worry.
Some people tend to think you need a bigger duvet than your bed size. It can be difficult to size a duvet cover based on these options. However, we’ll always recommend choosing a duvet cover that matches the size of your duvet. The extra size is already built-in to help accommodate your duvet, no matter what type of fill it has.
If you are worried about finding the perfect duvet cover for your duvet, consider contacting the company that makes your duvet. They might have suggestions for the perfect duvet cover size to fit your duvet.
Materials
What is your duvet cover made of? There are so many options, that it can be difficult to choose sometimes. Here are just a few of the most popular options you might find on our list and beyond.
- Cotton. Cotton is soft and fluffy. It creates smooth, comfortable fabrics that are breathable and airy. Cotton gets softer as you wash, and retains colour very well.
- Bamboo Cotton. Bamboo cotton uses rayon from bamboo to create a fabric that regulates temperature and wicks away moisture. Bamboo cotton blends are usually smooth and soft, with a slightly different texture from regular cotton.
- Egyptian Cotton. Egyptian cotton is one of the finest cotton materials you can find in fabric. This cotton is a long-staple option, which means that the fibres produced are thinner and stronger. This means you get a higher thread count and a more durable fabric.
- Polyester/Microfibre. Polyester and Microfibre products are often linked because they are a common blend. Both are warmer materials with more breathability than some options. Polyester is durable, making the blend last longer. Microfibre, on the other hand, is softer. Together, this blend creates fabrics that feel great and keep you cool when you’re warm and warm when you are cold.
- Linen. Linen fabrics are crisp and light. They are extremely breathable, but not as soft as some of the other options on our list.
There may be other options available depending on the duvet cover you choose. Don’t be afraid to look up the materials for your chosen duvet cover to determine if it might work for you. Matching your duvet cover materials to your sheets is also a great idea, as this can maximize the effects of the materials.

Believe it or not, colour options can be one of the most important choices when you shop for a duvet. We all have our favourite bedroom décor, and your duvet cover has to match. Further, you might want a duvet cover that can change up the look of your favourite comforter. To do this, you have to find one that has just the right colours and patterns to blend in perfectly.
Many of the duvet covers on our list have multiple colour options. There’s something for everyone! Keep in mind that there is some restriction on the colours available based on the type of material used in the duvet cover. Linen, for example, tends towards more neutral colours. Cotton might be any colour, but Egyptian cotton is usually white (with some exceptions).
If you’re choosing a duvet cover made of microfibre or polyester, the colours and patterns may be endless. Make sure to consider this before you place your purchase, as choosing the right duvet cover can pull your bedroom together.
Certifications
There are quite a few certifications that can help you determine the quality of your duvet cover. A few of the most common options are:
- OEKO-TEK Standard 100. OEKO-TEK is a certification process carried out by a third party. This standard means that the fabrics are produced without synthetics or harmful chemicals. This means they are entirely non-toxic and safe for human use.
- Cotton Egypt Association. For Egyptian Cotton duvet covers, this certification means that the materials meet all quality standards for Egyptian cotton. It also assures you that the cotton is genuine Egyptian Cotton.
Depending on the type of material your duvet cover is made of, there might be additional certifications. If you are concerned about the quality of the materials (or where they are coming from), make sure to look for certifications that can help you feel more comfortable. Most associations that issue certifications will list accredited companies on their website,s o you can always check to see if a claim is correct.
Care
Caring for some duvet covers can be complicated. Some require extra care instructions, such as dry cleaning or spot cleaning only. Of course, if you want your bed to be fresh most of the time, these care instructions can be a pain.
For this reason, it’s always a good idea to take a look at the care instructions listed for each duvet cover before you decide to buy. Consider what you’re willing to do to help keep your bed fresh. If you don’t mind dry cleaning or special care instructions, it shouldn’t be a problem.
However, if you want to wash your duvet cover often, look for one that doesn’t take much care. Anything you can wash in your home washing machine is preferable, and anything you can tumble dry is a bonus.
Some duvet covers that are machine washable will have special instructions, such as the temperature you should use. Pay attention to these as well, as they can make it a little more difficult to care for your duvet cover.
If you fail to follow the care instructions properly, it may void your warranty. Always make sure to keep the care instructions handy and follow them to the best of your ability.
Temperature Control
Some Canadians overheat as they sleep. Instead of waking up sweaty and uncomfortable, there are a few ways you can prevent heat from building up. You can choose a mattress with cooling properties, or sheets that offer some breathability.
Thankfully, your duvet cover can also help you feel a bit cooler. Lightweight materials, especially cotton, are great at temperature control. Any breathable material with a low thread count can create a little more airflow as you sleep. Look for polyester, cotton, and especially Egyptian cotton.
If you sleep extremely hot, you should choose a lightweight duvet cover (and a lighter duvet). The duvet cover won’t keep you cool on its own, but it works well when paired with other cooling features in bedding options.
Thread Count
Thread count doesn’t matter so much in your duvet cover. That’s because your duvet cover isn’t against your skin very often. However, if you plan to use your duvet cover in a way that means you’ll feel it a little more, consider choosing one with a higher thread count.
Thread count measures the number of threads in one square inch of fabric. A higher thread count means softer sheets. As the number climbs, you can feel the difference. The sheets get more luxurious and soft against your skin. However, a lower thread count is easier to care for and more durable on average.
A lower thread count also reduces temperature build-up, as the weave is more breathable. Some low thread-count fabrics can be soft, so the feel of your duvet cover may not be tied directly to thread count.
A thread count of at least 300 will be nice for most Canadians!
Pieces Included
You would expect most duvet covers to come with just the cover. However, some sets come with other pieces, including pillow shams, cushions, and pillowcases. Each listing should tell you what comes with your duvet cover, and some might not include any extras at all.
As a rule of thumb, a Twin or Twin XL-sized duvet cover will usually come with a single pillow sham. Other sizes will include two pillow shams to help your larger bed setups match. Some options have special pieces included with the set, and it may vary based on sizing and any additional options you choose to purchase.
Note that even if a set doesn’t come with all of the pieces you need, some companies offer matching pieces available separately. Though you’ll have to pay extra, you can still have the matching bedroom set you’ve always wanted. Make sure to pay attention to what comes with the set before you order your duvet cover.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your comforter no longer matches your bedroom décor, you can update how it looks by putting it in a duvet cover. Comforters easily slide right into a duvet cover of the same size, allowing you to change up your style whenever you need to!
There is no hard-and-fast rule about how you should sleep with your duvet cover. However, top sheets are usually included to protect the duvet cover from sweat and skin cells. If you want your duvet cover to be fresher and last longer, we recommend using a top sheet.
A duvet cover can double as a thin blanket if you’d rather give your duvet or comforter a rest. It’s a great blanket alternative for the warmer summer months and can be great if you often overheat at night.
