The word duvet in French has a couple different meanings: downy hairs or fuzz; or sleeping bag or quilt. A duvet is filled with down or a down/feather blend and is typically white and intended to be used with a duvet cover. A comforter may be filled with down, but more frequently is filled with polyester fibers. Also comforters are usually made with patterned or colored fabric and are meant to be decorative as well as functional, so no cover is used.
