One of the widely used linen based products is a duvet. It is made from cloth sewn to form a large bag, then filled with down or other soft materials. They are typically white, and they are almost always plain, so they won’t show through the cover. A duvet cover is used as the top layer of bedding to keep the sleeper warm as they rest.
