What Is a Duvet?
8. Not a Comforter
As already mentioned, duvets are often also called comforters, but the two are not quite the same. One of the main differences is that comforters are generally thinner than duvets are, and not as warm. They are made to be used on top of the bed, like a duvet, but in addition with other bedding such as top sheets.

Unlike duvets, comforters don’t usually come with a cover, and this means that comforters need to be washed more often than duvets. If you like, you can sometimes use a comforter in the same way you would a quilt when the weather is warm, but you still want to be snug in bed.
