Bedding...Comforter VS. Duvet??

What are you getting and what the heck is the difference????

Re: Bedding...Comforter VS. Duvet??

we're getting a comforter.
i think a duvet is a cover that goes on top of your comforter to protect it?

there was a thread about this a while ago...
do a search on it...

I was just through this not too long ago. If you get a decorative duvet, it covers a non decorative comforter. With our bedding, the duvet was as much as the comforter and I couldnt figure it out til I went to the store.

Exactly...a duvet covers a white (traditionally down) comforter. It's a decorative cover that is usually sold 'a la carte' style meaning that you need to buy shams, bedskirts, etc separately, plus still purchase the white down (or down alt) comforter it covers.

A comforter is typically a printed 'Blanket' that goes over your bed. They are sold as sets or even more inexpensively priced as 'Beds in a Bag'. They are sold as ensembles. Comforters tend to be more traditional in prints (think florals) while Duvets tend to be more edgy in fashion.

I work as a planner for BBB so this is a generalization of what assortments reflect. HTH!

basically if you have a down comforter, that is when you need the duvet... you cant really sleep with a down comforter without one! welll, i guess you can, but it isnt super practical... the duvet protects the down comforter... .

I was just trying to figure this out today, trying to update our registry & some duvets at BBB looked like comforters...

Hey, I didn't know this -- can someone look up the bedding set I'm getting? It's by Donna Karan and I don't think it has a comforter, only a duvet???

Here's what it looks like:

That's the same one I registered for!! I picked the comforter but there is a duvet option on that one as well. It's 'Urban Garden'.

thanks for the link. Macy's doesn't carry the comforter, but they do have the quilt, so I added that on.

We are getting a down-alternative comforter with a duvet cover

duvet and a down comforter

you can wash a duvet just by taking the cover off (if the cover is washable in the machine)

comforters are hard to wash. i get grossed out thinking that if people sleep over and i cant wash the comforter they slept on.

with a duvet (that is machine wash) i can wash it with my sheets each week
