The King Size Duvet
Comforter or duvet? Which is the right choice for your bedroom decor?
Often the terms "comforter" and "duvet" are used interchangeably. However, there is a difference. A comforter is a fluffy bed cover often used in lieu of a blanket or quilt. A duvet serves the same purpse. What distinguishes a duvet is that it is filled with down. In fact the word "duvet" is derived from the word "down."
There are ads for down filled comforters. One should be careful when purchasing a cover that is called a comforter and is said to be down filled. Unless there is a weight given to the comforter, in ounces and a number to describe the down fill power chances are the comforter is filled with synthetics or synthetic down.
The duvet is filled with down and is far more lofty or fluffy than a comforter.
A duvet cover is a removable outer covering for the duvet. The cover can be removed for cleaning without having to wash or dry clean the entire duvet which can be quite a chore and in some cases destroy the fill power of the down.
