What are the different reasons for wanting a duvet cover, rather than a comforter?

Can you answer JAP’s question about Bedding?:

I noticed that duvet covers are usually more expensive than a comforter. They are popular, so I was just wondering what the BIG difference is.

    Bedding Feedback: Well, you can remove the duvet cover for washing (which is really nice), so they sometimes make the covers out of more expensive/delicate material, because you can remove it to do special cleaning (hand wash or dry cleaning) that you couldn’t do if it was part of a comforter.

    Bedding Feedback: Duvet covers are like pillowcases for comforters. They’re easy to wash and you don’t wear out your comforter or get it dirty. many comforters are difficult to wash and/or need special cleaning.

    Bedding Feedback: You can take them off of the comforter (usually down) and wash them.

    Bedding Feedback: Like everyone has said, it’s because of being able to wash them, also its so you can have different styles/colors in your bedroom without buying a whole new comforter. You could probably make one less money. Wouldn’t take much, just sew 2 sides together and fasten at the top with velcro or buttons.
