"Duvet" is not a word I think I'd ever encountered before I was 20. I'm still not sure I've ever heard it - at least, I don't know how to pronounce it, and I'm never quite sure what one is until I look it up.
In my household-of-origin, we had mattress, fitted sheet, person, blanket. In winter, "blanket" might be a comforter; in summer it was usually something lighter. (We also had central heating and air conditioning, so outside temperature didn't really affect bedroom temperature much.)
The women I have lived with generally added a top sheet between person and blanket, and I think this is an excellent addition, especially since I like to be covered even when it's way too warm for a blanket.
