How a duvet is constructed will determine how it performs and looks aesthetically.  There are several different designs of stitching, each serving its own purpose. The stitching design should match the amount of fill. This accounts for having both sewn through and baffled styles, and for the different size chambers. Some people like to move the fill around to adjust the warmth, and some people like it to stay put. In additional to these functional reasons, there are personal preferences in the appearance of the comforter.

Baffle Box - A luxury feature of high-grade, heavier duvets is a baffle box duvet that is separated into three dimensional “boxes”. These “boxes” help the fill retain volume and loft up through chamber for uniform thickness. This also keeps the weight of the fill evenly distributed over your entire body and allows you to sleep comfortably throughout the night.

Karo Stitch - A network of seams running in two perpendicular directions, creating a simple boxed effect, but open at the corners. Because the stitching does not confine the fill, it can loft higher and allows the sleeper to adjust the fill to suit his or her own warmth needs. This is a big selling point in cases where there are two sleepers who like to sleep at different temperatures.

Sewn Through - This stitch is one of the more popular and economical choices in duvets today. A sewn through duvet is one that has the design capability of many patterns; diamonds, channels or just plain boxes. The designs are sewn from one side of the duvet straight through the material to the other side. It results in zero shifting and less maintenance to keep it lofty.  The drawback on this economic design is uneven distribution of the filling and “cold spots” where the seams are stitched through.
