A comforter (in American English), then known as a doona in Australian English,[1] or a continental quilt (or simply quilt) or duvet in English, is a type of bedding made of two lengths of fabric or covering sewn together and filled bearing in mind insulative materials for warmth, traditionally down or feathers, wool or cotton batting, silk, or polyester and new all along alternative fibers. considering quilts, comforters are generally laid higher than a top bed sheet (and sometimes along with blankets). Duvets are different form of quilt, traditionally filled later feathers, even though before the tardy 20th century often made of synthetic fibres or next to alternatives.
A comforter is sometimes covered for tutelage and prolonged use. Comforter covers are same in principle to pillowcases, usually closed when zippers or buttons.
In the joined Kingdom the term comforter is not generally used. It is instead called a quilt (or continental quilt), duvet or an eiderdown. A duvet differs in that it is thicker and usually used without blankets or supplementary sheets.
Sometimes a comforter is sold as allowance of a "bed in a bag", usually a exploit of some sort when handles that contains an entire set of bedding in the same or a matching pattern: comforter and summit sheet, fitted sheet, pillowcase(s), and perhaps pillow sham(s). Some sets have a duvet and duvet lid (more popular in Europe) in area of a comforter and summit sheet. More deluxe sets may improve a bed skirt and pillows.
