I have visited Switzerland, and fell in love with a certain type of
comforter. It is called a "decke" or "duvet", and here is an article
about them: Swiss Hotel Rooms
{http://europeforvisitors.com/switzaustria/articles/swiss_hotel_rooms.htm}.
I want to purchase one of these "comforters", but where can I find it
online to buy?

A Decke or duvet is a feather or down comforter tucked inside a sheet bag.

From Anna?s Linens :

Monserrat White Goose Down Comforter - All White Goose Down 

?Monserrat is a good year round down comforter. It has a baffle box
construction. The baffle box construction keeps the down from shifting
while still allowing the down to loft creating less "cold spots". The
100% cotton 660 thread count sateen cover is breathable and "down
proof". Monserrat has a 550 fill power. The fill power combined with
the amount of down in ounces tell how much insulating your down
comforter will provide. A 550 fill power is considered good. Down is
the best natural insulator. It is light to the touch, but will keep
you warm on the coldest of nights. Make sure you use a Duvet Cover (or
Comforter Cover) to help protect and extend the life of your down
comforter.?
