Whats the difference between a comforter and a duvet?
Comforters and duvets mean the same thing. “Duvet” is the French word for “comforter”. A comforter or duvet is a flat bag filled with some insulating material, used as bedding. Historically, duvets are filled with down or duck feathers, but today, one can choose silk, cotton or synthetic fillings. Many people use the term “duvet” by itself to refer to the duvet cover, but this is technically incorrect.
