Toddler sized duvet/down comforter in the US
Does such a thing exist in the US? I can only find comforters that are
sort of cotten quilts, not down duvets. When I see things called 'duvet' they're usually just what I'd call a comforter - lighter, cotten rather than down filled. We don't need anything outrageous, as it only gets cold for a short time here, but a regular blanket just doesn't do it for DD (our house gets pretty cold at night and DH and I use duvets). For now DD sleeps with us still, but she should be in her own bed by next winter, and we could probably use one for another month or so here. They sell them in Europe, but with the lousy dollar and the hassle of transport, I was hoping to buy one in the US but can't find one. Does anyone have one, and if so, where'd you buy it? Thanks |

My kids had them years ago. A quick google search for "child down comforter" came up with quite a few options: http://www.pinkandbluebebe.com/Comforter-Down.htm http://babydown.com/index.shtml http://www.sweetbedbugs.com/doandfico.html -- Ruth |

Thanks Yes, I bought one for DD a couple of years ago online. The only thing is, she never really used it and quickly outgrew it. I'd say go with a twin down comforter. It will last longer. |

I think ours came from Company Kids: http://www.thecompanystore.com/paren.../5004/CK14X_2/ The covers are he http://www.thecompanystore.com/dept/...004/1/listall/ under the various bedding collections. Most, if not all, have a toddler sized comforter cover. Best wishes, Ericka |

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. Pologirl |

Personally I wouldn't waste my money. She will grow very quickly. If she is
going to a bed next winter, then just buy a twin comforter and be done with it. -- Sue (mom to three girls) "cjra" wrote in message ... Does such a thing exist in the US?

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. |

I haven't looked hard, but nor have I seen any, all our beds have duvets, all bought in the UK, but one of the covers for ours has worn really badly. Cheers Anne |
