"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

You might not even realize that it's time to switch out your bedding until you go on vacation, slip into a plush hotel bed, and discover the world of difference a great duvet cover can make. The best ones strike the perfect balance of being soft and cozy yet still breathable—giving you no choice but to hit the snooze button every morning. And while a luxury duvet cover might not be as critical of a purchase as a supportive mattress, it's one of the easiest upgrades to help make your bed as cloud-like as possible.

"Think of the duvet cover as the foundation of your bed," explains Missy Tannen, the co-founder and chief designer of Boll & Branch. "It's the perfect piece to build your other elements around, like blankets, pillows, and quilts. It also has transformative power, since you can easily change it out to capture a current trend or seasonal refresh." Consider choosing an option in fresh colors, patterns, and textures to create extra visual interest in your space, she adds.

Done in everything from classic percale and washed linen to unique corduroy finishes, the best luxury duvet covers are both stylish and functional—offering cooling, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic benefits. Keep reading to shop our 24 favorites.

Signature Hemmed Duvet Set

Made with 100 percent organic cotton, Boll & Branch's signature duvet set is breathable enough for year-round use and specifically designed to get softer over time. It has four interior ties and is ever-so-slightly oversized, giving it that luxe, hotel-like vibe.

What reviewers say: "I have been wanting these forever. Finally purchased…holy cow, why did I wait so long? Even caught my husband mentioning to a friend that he’s not sure what sheets/duvet I purchased but that [they're] amazing!"

Percale Duvet Cover

For a perfectly polished look, go with cotton percale. Available in a few subtle shades and standard neutrals, Parachute's crisp duvet cover is crafted from premium Egyptian cotton that's designed to last for years.

Material: Cotton | Colors: 14 | Sizes available: Twin, Full/Queen, King/California King

Organic Linen Duvet Cover

A linen duvet cover is the way to go if you're after a rustic, lived-in vibe, and Coyuchi's version has tons of unique accents that justify its lavish price. For starters, this cover is crafted from organic flax fibers sourced from France and is woven in Portugal with refined pick stitching and coconut shell button accents. The design is also garment-washed for a relaxed feel and colored with Made Safe-certified dyes shown to be better for sensitive skin and the planet.

What reviewers say: "I will go on record here and state no other linen feels quite like this...I have had the most blissful sleep of my life when sleeping in their linen sheets, and love, love, love this duvet. It does not disappoint! My husband and I love how breathable these are, as well as how well they thermoregulate during our sleep."

Sateen Duvet Cover Set

Shiny, wrinkle-resistant sateen is a great option for anyone who loves a luxe look. Saatva's cover is made from 100 percent, GOTS-certified organic cotton with an extra-long drape that adds to its extravagant feel. Just keep in mind that unlike cotton percale, cotton sateen tends to be warmer (and thus not the best choice for hot sleepers).

Material: Cotton | Colors: 3 | Sizes available: Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/California King

Belvedere Flannel Duvet Cover

Material: Cotton | Colors: 5 | Sizes available: Twin, Full/Queen, King/California King

Cotton Gauze Duvet Set

Made with certified non-toxic cotton sourced from the Aegean region of Turkey, this airy gauze duvet cover will make you feel like you're vacationing in a seaside villa every time you climb into bed. The lightweight material is also a softer alternative to linen, in case the former feels too rough on your skin.

What reviewers say: "The gauzy texture has you feeling like you are wrapped up in a cloud and doesn't make you overheat. It gives your bed a fresh, clean, beach house vibe."

Material: Cotton | Colors: 5 | Sizes available: Full/Queen, King/California King

Material: Polyester | Colors: 3 | Sizes available: Twin, Full, Queen, King, California King

Catarina Duvet Cover

Material: Cotton | Colors: 3 | Sizes available: Full/Queen, King/California King

Hemp Duvet Cover

For a more sustainable alternative to cotton, try hemp. The natural, linen-like fiber uses less water than cotton during production and is biodegradable. Plus, this cover done in the fabric is built to get softer with every wash.

What reviewers say: "We’ve had our hemp duvet cover for about a month and are loving it. Several reasons I chose it: the zipper, and the fact that it’s oversized [means] I don't need a bed skirt."

Material: Hemp | Colors: 4 | Sizes available: Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/California King

Lux Percale Duvet Cover

Somehow, hotel beds always feel so much more luxurious than what you have at home. The way to change that? Splurge on the bedding brands that hotels actually rely on—like Frette, which can be found at spots including the Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis. This 100 percent cotton percale duvet from the brand should be a dream to snuggle up with.

Material: Cotton | Colors: 2 | Sizes available: Queen, King

Breeze Duvet Cover

With a feel somewhere between cotton and silk, this duvet cover is made from eucalyptus-derived lyocell—a lightweight, semi-synthetic material that's designed to be well-suited for sensitive skin. To top it all off, the eco-conscious design features natural dyes, plant-based buttons, and is meant to be entirely biodegradable.

What reviewers say: "I admit, I bought the bedding set for its aesthetic appeal, but I have noticed an improvement in my sleep quality after using it for weeks. The sheets are incredibly soft."

Material: TENCEL eucalyptus lyocell | Colors: 26 | Sizes available: Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/California King

Scallop Duvet Cover

For the fickle decorator, a reversible duvet cover gives you options.

Here, an elevated take on a summer camp classic. This woven plaid pick was inspired by cabin bedding—except instead of using scratchy materials, it's made in Portugal from a breathable cotton percale.

Material: Cotton | Colors: 1 | Sizes available: Twin, Full/Queen, King

India Pique Duvet Cover

This dainty, double-scalloped duvet cover offers a subtle dose of color yet is still easy to style with a range of bedding. Plus, you can even have it monogrammed for a personal touch. If you prefer a more minimal look, pair it with an all-white sheet set. Or, go the tonal route and style it with shades of blue to complement the trim. Because this cover is made from a cotton-polyester blend, it's also extra-durable.

Material: Cotton-polyester blend | Colors: 10 | Sizes available: Twin, Full/Queen, King

If you hate fumbling with your duvet cover's tiny corner ties (or get claustrophobic every time you have to stick your head inside to smooth out the wrinkled insert), you're not alone. This zippered duvet system makes it a cinch to make your bed, and we love the feel of the sleek cotton sateen shell.

What should you look for when choosing a duvet cover?

Materials: Today's best luxury duvet covers are typically made with natural fabrics, such as cotton, linen, or even hemp. "Fibers that are naturally grown are always a better choice," Tannen says. On top of generally being more sustainable, "they'll feel softer and stand the test of time," she adds. Still, you may find some luxe options made with synthetic materials—like smooth, polyester-based velvet—or a mix of semi-synthetic fabrics—such as cooling, bamboo-based viscose and highly moisture-wicking, eucalyptus-derived lyocell.

When choosing the right material for you, consider whether you run hot or cold. Warm sleepers should gravitate towards sweat-wicking fabrics, such as viscose, lyocell, linen, and hemp (note that cotton is also breathable, but that it absorbs, rather than wicks away, moisture.) Meanwhile, cold sleepers may be better served with a heavier, warmer fabric, like brushed cotton flannel or sateen.

Deciding on the right material also comes down to your feel and aesthetic preferences. Remember that fabrics like brushed cotton flannel and sateen will always be softer to the touch than coarser fibers like linen. Additionally, more structured materials such as cotton percale will offer a crisp, contemporary look, while relaxed fibers like hemp or linen are great for adding lived-in charm to your space.

Closure: The two most common types of duvet cover closures are buttons and zippers, which Tannen says both work well for securing a duvet cover onto a duvet. Do keep in mind, though: "Button closures make a duvet cover more visually interesting, but they can be more time-consuming to use than a zipper."

How important is thread count?

In short, not very. "One of the biggest myths is that a thread count can tell you everything you need to know about a fabric," says Tannen. "However, this number can't speak to the quality of materials used, the type of chemicals applied to it, or the conditions under which the fabric was made."

Instead, Tannen recommends looking for bedding with certifications like GOTS (or the Global Organic Textile Standard that indicates the use of organic materials and fair labor practices) and OEKO-TEX (which verifies the omission of harmful chemical substances in products).
