Shop for bedding and three words come up again and again. They are not the same thing, and knowing the difference makes it easier to choose what you actually want to sleep under.
Quilt
A quilt has three thin layers: a top fabric, a light fill and a backing. Lines of stitching run through all three and hold them together. The result is flat, light and drapes well over the sides of the bed. You can use a quilt on its own in the warmer months, or layer it over a blanket when it turns cold.
Our sets are quilts. The top is polyester microfiber with the design printed on it, over a light polyester fill, held together with real stitched quilting.
Comforter
A comforter is thicker and puffier. It has much more fill between two layers of fabric, sewn into boxes or channels so the fill does not shift. It is warmer than a quilt, but bulkier to wash and store.
Duvet
A duvet is two parts: a soft insert filled with down or synthetic fiber, and a removable cover that you wash. You change the look by changing the cover.
Which one should you choose?
- Choose a quilt if you want a lighter layer, a finished look without a separate cover, and easy washing at home.
- Choose a comforter if you sleep cold and want one thick layer.
- Choose a duvet if you like to change covers often.
