Why are there duvet covers but no duvets?

I just bought a 92 by 96 duvet cover (full/queen) and cannot find a corresponding down or alternative down comforter in the correct size! There appears to be no standardized size for comforters duvet covers. Does anyone know where to find one with those particular dimensions?

Also - how can it be called a duvet cover if there is no such product as a duvet!? All there are are plain down or alternative comforters that you put inside, but why aren’t there duvets if there are covers? That would be like pillow cases with no pillows! Ugh!

    In europe, the duvet is the down comforter itself. Usually the duvet doesn’t have quilting — the lines of stitching that make separate compartments for the down. It’s more like a bed-sized cotton bag filled with down.
