Are The Terms Comforters & Duvets New To You?


You might have heard of comforters and duvets in the bedding industry. For those who hate making bed find them of great use. However, many of us often get confused with their utilities. So, here’s a brief introduction about them for a clearer mind and smarter bedding.  Though both of them are intended to comfort the user yet they have slight differences.

Comforter is a fluffy blanket with thick fabric. Usually synthetic fibers are stitched or quilted into them in an evenly manner. It makes user the filling inside remains intact and secured. They are meant to be on the top of your bed sheet and suitable for those who seek layered look.

Bedding sets which come with coordinated accessories are comprised of comforters to make decorations easy. They possess rich dyes patterns which are not embroidered. Cleaning it is not at all an issue. With other bedding accessories, it can be given a machine wash. 


Duvets were originated in Europe but referred to as comforters only in the US. This bedding has a soft flat bag comprised of wool, down, feathers and synthetic fibers. To protect it, a removable layer might be present called as duvet cover. It is comprised of down feathers to work as thermal insulator. Adding duvet on the bed simplifies the whole chore of making bedding simpler. Unlike comforter it is not a single covering. Instead it is a combination of blankets, sheets, quilts and other bed coverings.
