A comforter (in American English), afterward known as a doona in Australian English,[1] or a continental quilt (or conveniently quilt) or duvet in English, is a type of bedding made of two lengths of fabric or covering sewn together and filled similar to insulative materials for warmth, traditionally by the side of or feathers, wool or cotton batting, silk, or polyester and further next to vary fibers. later than quilts, comforters are generally laid higher than a summit bed sheet (and sometimes with blankets). Duvets are unorthodox form of quilt, traditionally filled subsequently feathers, though before the late 20th century often made of synthetic fibres or down alternatives.
A comforter is sometimes covered for support and prolonged use. Comforter covers are similar in principle to pillowcases, usually closed taking into account zippers or buttons.
In the joined Kingdom the term comforter is not generally used. It is then again called a quilt (or continental quilt), duvet or an eiderdown. A duvet differs in that it is thicker and usually used without blankets or additional sheets.
Sometimes a comforter is sold as part of a "bed in a bag", usually a exploit of some sort gone handles that contains an entire set of bedding in the similar 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 place of a comforter and summit sheet. More deluxe sets may enhance a bed skirt and pillows.
Comforters are usually used in the winter season subsequent to it is very cold, although a variety of alternative thicknesses means that they can be used in extra seasons as well, in imitation of lighter examples beast used in warmer weather. Due to the thickness of a comforter or the amount of down/feathers or new filling it has, a person is insulated against cold.
Comforter sizes get along with later bed sizes: twin, full, queen, king, and cal-king. Comforter sizes direct slightly larger than mattress sizes to allow for draping exceeding the sides of the bed. Typical sizes in the joined States for comforters are:
Twin Bed = 64 in (163 cm) width 87 in (221 cm) length
Queen Bed / Full = 87 in (221 cm) width 87 in (221 cm) length
