DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring now toFIGS. 1-3, the present invention features a duvet comprising four side edges, where at least three of the side edges are temporarily secured together via an attachment means, hereinafter “sealable side edges”. In some embodiments, the sealable side edges comprises a first side edge, a second side edge, and a third side edge. In some embodiments, the duvet is adapted to be folded making a folded side edge. In some embodiments, the first inside surface faces the second inside surface. In some embodiments, the present invention features a zipper assembly having a first zipper chain side, a second zipper chain side, and a zipper slider with pull tab. In some embodiments, the folded side edge is not detachable. In some embodiments, the first zipper chain side is continuously disposed on a first side edge, a second side edge, and a third side edge each disposed on the first inside surface. In some embodiments, the second zipper chain side is continuously disposed on a first side edge, a second side edge, and a third side edge each disposed on the second inside surface. In some embodiments, the zipper assembly engages and joins the first zipper chain side to the second zipper chain side. In some embodiments, the first side edge of the first inside surface is joined to the first side edge of the second inside surface. In some embodiments, the second side edge of the first inside surface is joined to the second side edge of the second inside surface. In some embodiments, the third side edge of the first inside surface is joined to the third side edge of the second inside surface. In some embodiments, the zipper assembly originates at a first end of the folded side edge and runs continuously across the first side edge, the second side edge, and the third side edge of the duvet. In some embodiments, the zipper assembly terminates at a second end of the folded side edge. In some embodiments, the duvet further comprises four internal corners, a first inside surface and a second inside surface. The attachment means include zipper, buttons, hook-and-loop devices (Velcro®) and the like.

In some embodiments, the sealable side edges are adjacent to each other. In some embodiments, the sealable side edges are on opposite sides of each other. In some embodiments, three of the four side edges are sealable side edges, see for exampleFIG. 1.

In some embodiments, a clip is located near one of the four internal corners. The clip is for holding a comforter in place. In some embodiments, a clip is located near two of the four internal corners. In some embodiments, a clip is located near three of the four internal corners. In some embodiments, a clip is located near all four of the internal corners, see for exampleFIG. 1. The clip could be made of a metal or plastic or a combination of plastic and metal components, silicone, or any other suitable materials. In some embodiments, a clip is permanently sewn into a side edge close to but not into each of the four internal corners, thus comprising four clips. In some embodiments, two clips are permanently sewn into one of the side edges and two clips are permanently sewn into the opposing side edge. In some embodiments, the remaining two side edges comprise no clips sewn therein. In some embodiments, a comforter is located in the duvet, interfacing with the first inside surface and the second inside surface. In some embodiments each clip is attached to a side edge of the comforter. In some embodiments, a border is located around the comforter between the side edges of the comforter and each of the four side edges of the duvet.
