In the world of competitive duvet diving, the current record for the longest dive into a pile of duvets stands at a whopping 6.15 meters (20.2 feet)! That's a whole lot of fluffiness to dive into, but I wouldn't recommend trying it at home. Stick to pillow fights instead!
In the 1700s, Europeans began using featherbeds as a luxurious and cozy bedding option. Featherbeds were soft, warm, and filled with feathers or down, making them comfortable to sleep on. Soon, people realized the need for a cover to protect and keep the featherbed clean.
In the mid-18th century, the concept of a duvet cover was born. The term 'duvet' originates from the French word for down, which is the soft inner plumage of geese or ducks. A duvet cover was designed to encase the featherbed, providing an easily removable and washable cover. This innovation made maintaining cleanliness much simpler, preventing the need to wash the entire featherbed.
During the 19th century, the use of duvets and duvet covers spread across Europe. The convenience of the duvet cover, coupled with the comfort and warmth provided by the featherbed, made it a popular choice for bedding. The term 'duvet' became synonymous with this type of bedding arrangement.
In the 1960s, the duvet underwent further modernization. Synthetic fibers like polyester began to be used as filling material instead of natural feathers or down. This made duvets more affordable and accessible to a wider population. The lightweight and hypoallergenic nature of synthetic duvets contributed to their popularity.
Today, duvets are used worldwide and have become a staple in many households. They are available in various sizes and fillings, catering to individual preferences. The term 'duvet' is widely recognized and used globally, indicating a shift in bedding preferences towards this cozy and convenient bedding option.
