A comforter (in American English), in addition to known as a doona in Australian English,[1] or a continental quilt (or helpfully quilt) or duvet in English, is a type of bedding made of two lengths of fabric or covering sewn together and filled subsequent to insulative materials for warmth, traditionally next to or feathers, wool or cotton batting, silk, or polyester and further by the side of substitute fibers. subsequent to quilts, comforters are generally laid more than a top bed sheet (and sometimes after that blankets). Duvets are complementary form of quilt, traditionally filled gone feathers, while before the tardy 20th century often made of synthetic fibres or the length of alternatives.

A comforter is sometimes covered for guidance and prolonged use. Comforter covers are thesame in principle to pillowcases, usually closed following zippers or buttons.

In the associated Kingdom the term comforter is not generally used. It is on the other hand called a quilt (or continental quilt), duvet or an eiderdown. A duvet differs in that it is thicker and usually used without blankets or supplementary sheets.

Sometimes a comforter is sold as ration of a "bed in a bag", usually a achievement of some sort in imitation of handles that contains an entire set of bedding in the thesame or a matching pattern: comforter and top 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 include a bed skirt and pillows.

Comforters are usually used in the winter season following it is unconditionally cold, although a variety of substitute thicknesses means that they can be used in other seasons as well, like lighter examples visceral 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 adjacent to cold.
