If you enter duvet into the translate box above you get this:http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/duvet

noun edredón (m) (nórdico)

modifier duvet cover (n) funda (f) de edredón (nórdico)

Wikipedia entry is here:

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edredón

Back translate the wikipedia entry back to English and you will see it corresponds to Duvet.

DUVET -> funda nórdica DUVET COVER -> funda para edredón

When all else fails look at a store's translation such as IKEA: Look at the first one on this link https://www.google.com/#q=funda+de+edredón

They hire professionals to translate their webpages so you can guarantee it'll be correct.

Take a look at this one: (These websites belong to Spanish speaking companies; another good way to know if it is correct is to see what the people in that country actually say).
