duvet day

Cozy home absence

A duvet day is a day off work taken not because of illness but simply to stay home and rest—typically spent in bed or lounging under the covers.

Some British companies offer duvet days as an employee benefit, no explanation required: I'm taking a duvet day tomorrow.

The term reflects the appeal of the duvet as a refuge from obligation.
