Direct contact

Sheets create more direct contact with silk across the body; a duvet cover changes the upper layer.

Sizing risk

Both require accurate dimensions, but fitted sheets also require attention to mattress depth.

Care

A duvet cover is larger and can be more awkward to wash; a fitted sheet experiences more friction and frequent laundering.

Budget

Compare total fabric area and set contents rather than assuming one category is always cheaper.

Build order

If direct sleeping feel is the goal, start with sheets. If you want a visible top-layer upgrade, consider the duvet cover first.
