A comforter (in American English), also 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 in the same way as insulative materials for warmth, traditionally by the side of or feathers, wool or cotton batting, silk, or polyester and other alongside substitute fibers. gone quilts, comforters are generally laid more than a top bed sheet (and sometimes as well as blankets). Duvets are marginal form of quilt, traditionally filled when feathers, though since the late 20th century often made of synthetic fibres or next to alternatives.
A comforter is sometimes covered for protection and prolonged use. Comforter covers are same in principle to pillowcases, usually closed past zippers or buttons.

Some sets have a duvet and duvet cover (more well-liked in Europe) in area of a comforter and top sheet. More deluxe sets may include a bed skirt and pillows.
