What is a duvet? Duvet vs. comforter, which is right for you?
How to decide between these two types of bed covers
White bed and mattress

If you’re unclear about what a duvet is and how it differs from a comforter, you’re not alone. Anyone who has shopped for bedding has likely come across this discrepancy and thought: "What is a duvet?" Well, we have your answers. Here's how to tell the difference between a duvet vs. a comforter and what to consider when purchasing one of these bedding products.
Duvet vs. comforter

Though duvets and comforters serve the same purpose, they are different kinds of products. Both are essentially large blankets filled with some type of fluffy material that goes on the top of your bed. A comforter is a single-quilted blanket, while a duvet comes in two pieces: a duvet cover and a duvet insert — sort of like one big pillow case and pillow, but as a bed topper-blanket combo. Also, a comforter is typically a bit larger than the bed and hangs over the sides. Meanwhile, a duvet fits precisely on top of the bed.
