Default Toddler sized duvet/down comforter in the US

The Company Store (www.thecompanystore.com) has crib-size down
comforters, although you may be wanting a thicker, warmer comforter
(duvet) than anything they offer. I have bought bedding from them
several times, and it is better quality than most.

If you find a US or Canada source of those really thick European-style
duvets, please share it with me.


We were just going to buy one when we went to Switzerland soon (ours
come from there), but with the current dollar, it seemed silly, esp
since we're not in a cold climate and don't need it much.

Thanks for all the links. For some reason when I googled I kept just
getting the bedding sets/cotten comforters. Lots of duvet _covers_ but
no duvets.


That's because in US terminology they're often called
"comforters" (even if they're what you think of as duvets). Now,
don't ask me why they call the inside part a "comforter" and the
outside part a "duvet cover." That would be well beyond my
comprehension! But it seems like more shops do that than you'd
think. If you search on crib down comforter you'll turn things
up more easily. The covers will show up as either "duvet covers"
or "comforter covers."

Best wishes,
