The temperature is dropping as the holiday season is upon us.
  It is time to put away - if you haven't already done so - the summer bedding and get ready for winter.
  With Christmas and cold weather arriving it is time to fluff up the duvet and pull the flannel sheets from the linen closet.
Winter nights require warmer covers when we crawl between the sheets.
  Of course, flannel sheets are a great place to start, but to add a little extra warmth creating a fluffy bed with a down filled duvet not only adds appeal to the bedroom decor, it also adds plenty of night time comfort.
Understanding the difference between a comforter and a duvet is important for those who want a really fluffy bed cover.
  A comforter is much like a quilt, except with more filling that is a little fluffier.
  The comforter filling is usually cotton batting or a polyester blend.
  On the other hand, a duvet is filled with natural down, feathers from geese.
  It is no wonder a duvet is warmer and fluffier than a comforter.
  For a really puffed up and luxurious top cover, the duvet is the best choice, although probably the most expensive choice.
Whether the top cover is a big heavy comforter or a down filled duvet, the appearance of the outer shell can be changed for the season with a holiday duvet cover.
  These covers slip over the comforter or the duvet, not only adding a new color scheme or theme, but also protecting the comforter or duvet from stains and wear.
  Selecting a covering in a holiday pattern can transform even the most mundane bedroom into one filled with the holiday spirit.
  The selections range from covers with a center pattern of Santa beside the fireplace to a patterns of snowflakes and snowmen that can be used beyond the December holidays.
Creating a warm, fluffy bed for the holidays may only require a new cover for existing comforters or duvets.
  Imagine changing the entire bedroom decor with one investment in a duvet cover!
