A comforter (in American English), also known as a doona in Australian English,[1] or a continental quilt (or conveniently quilt) or duvet in English, is a type of bedding made of two lengths of fabric or covering sewn together and filled taking into account insulative materials for warmth, traditionally down or feathers, wool or cotton batting, silk, or polyester and other beside alternating fibers. bearing in mind quilts, comforters are generally laid more than a top bed sheet (and sometimes in addition to blankets). Duvets are out of the ordinary form of quilt, traditionally filled similar to feathers, though since the late 20th century often made of synthetic fibres or by the side of alternatives.
A comforter is sometimes covered for auspices and prolonged use. Comforter covers are same in principle to pillowcases, usually closed subsequent to zippers or buttons.
In the joined Kingdom the term comforter is not generally used. It is instead called a quilt (or continental quilt), duvet or an eiderdown. A duvet differs in that it is thicker and usually used without blankets or new sheets.
Sometimes a comforter is sold as part of a "bed in a bag", usually a deed of some sort taking into consideration handles that contains an entire set of bedding in the similar 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 append a bed skirt and pillows.
Comforters are usually used in the winter season considering it is categorically cold, although a variety of alternative thicknesses means that they can be used in other seasons as well, taking into account lighter examples being used in warmer weather. Due to the thickness of a comforter or the amount of down/feathers or supplementary filling it has, a person is insulated next to cold.
Comforter sizes get along with bearing in mind bed sizes: twin, full, queen, king, and cal-king. Comforter sizes rule slightly larger than mattress sizes to permit for draping beyond the sides of the bed. Typical sizes in the associated States for comforters are:
Twin Bed = 64 in (163 cm) width 87 in (221 cm) length
