‘This is a game changer.’ Ordering off the kid’s menu comes with a certain set of expectations. Small portions, lower prices—possibly an age restriction—but generally, nothing too off-base as far as ordering food.

We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. I’ve tested a lot of bedding for Apartment Therapy, and have tried everything from luxe linens to budget-friendly finds. I’ve found fantastic pillows, sheets, comforters, and mattress toppers on both sides of the price spectrum, but one category that’s continued to disappoint me is duvet covers. Cheap or expensive, they’ve always let me down. It’s always a struggle to get my comforter inside one, and after months of use, the comforter inevitably slips and I end up with an empty corner flap that needs “refilling.” So when I was given the opportunity to try the Nuvet cover (aka a zip-up duvet cover), I jumped at the chance. After being burned by so many other brands, I wasn’t convinced that this one would be any different. And I couldn’t have been more wrong! It exceeded my expectations, and not only makes inserting my comforter a snap (or a zip!), but also keeps the corners from slipping!

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.
