The purpose of a day duvet cover set is to dress up a bed and turn it into a couch during the day. A cloud of dust hides every mechanism under the bed, making the bed look like an ordinary couch. Quilted or plain pillowcases can be placed over large pillows to reduce seat depth. Or the depth can be held back, turning the daybed into a deep couch. Still, there are many variations in the style and type of duvet that the day bed can be made out of.
Quilted toppers
Quilting is an ancient art that begins with the need to pad metal armor or add insulation to a coat. Quilted bedspreads were originally made from whole pieces of fabric sewn together to hold them in place, or bats of wool or cotton between layers. Of course, women of all walks of life have created patterns for the stitches over the years. Patchwork is designed to utilize all available fabric scraps. Probably the most famous patchwork style, the Victorian Crazy Quilt used embroidery, buttons, braid and more to create a bedspread that amazes with color and ingenuity.
pillowcases
Pillowcases are covers that are placed over pillows. They are often quilted and adjust to the distribution. Three cushions at the back of the daybed is traditional, but you can of course add throw pillows and other decorative pillows if you like.
dust skirt
A cloud of dust around the edge of the bed helps to hide extra beds or storage boxes under the bed. It can be ruffled or a simple straight piece of fabric with a gusset or slit at the corners of the bed. For day beds, it helps hide the structure of the furniture, making it look more like a couch. Bedspreads help give the impression that a daybed is actually a couch. They can be formal, fun, or just plain casual. This usually includes a comforter, a pouf, and at least two or three pillowcases that match the pouf and comforter. They can be a smart way to turn an ordinary single bed into a deep couch during the day and retain its function as a simple bed at night. Which cover you choose depends on your taste, your style of living and the location and use of the daybed. Below are ten examples.
