Duvet vs Comforter - What's The Difference?

Marten: Okay, pop quiz. Is this a

duvet

or

comforter

? Most people know the

difference

. If you're watching this video, you probably don't know it either, but don't worry, we're here to help. Here at Mattress Clarity, we're all about making things simple whether you're looking for a mattress, pillow,

comforter

, or comforter. What is the

difference

between the two? Let's find out. Marten: Spoiler alert, this is a dildo. How can you tell it's a quilt? There are two main things. First, when you take it out of the bag and it's ready to use, you can put it directly on your bed.

It is soft to the touch. You can use it right away. Plus, it will be padded. You will have the filling evenly distributed throughout the comforter. It won't actually move around too much inside the

duvet

. Those are the two main ways you can tell if it's a duvet. Now on to the quilts. What makes a quilt a quilt? These two things here, you'll have your pillowcase, it's empty like a pillowcase, then you'll fill up here. Two separate things. You can put the filling inside the cover, you will fasten it and place it directly on your bed.

That's the main way to tell if it's a quilt: it will be two separate pieces. There are also some advantages and disadvantages of each that I want to address. What is better for you, duvet or comforter? Let's get into that. I want to share

what

are some of the advantages and disadvantages of having a duvet. First, if you like that layered look in your bedroom where you have the sheets and then on top of that you're going to have this fluffy duvet, with pillows behind it, the duvet is definitely the way to go. Many times you will use different layers when you place it on your bed.

Plus, duvets will always come in a matching bedding set. You will have your sheets again, your comforter, you will have your pillows back there. The main or best thing about a duvet is ease of use. Again, like I mentioned before, you take it right out of the bag and it's ready to go. However, it's one piece, so it's actually harder to clean. If you have a down alternative comforter, you can wash it at home, but it's very messy. However, you can take your down comforter to a dry cleaner to have it properly cleaned. Now, the pros and cons of comforters.

First of all, if you don't like making your bed, a duvet is definitely the best option. You can put it right on the bed with just the fitted sheet and a couple of pillows, pretty good setup up there. Also, easy to clean. You remove the duvet cover immediately, leave the filling there, put it in the washing machine, dryer, put it back on, really easy cleaning. Also, if you want to make it easier to change it throughout the seasons, you'll want to wear something for Christmas, something for the holiday season, something for fall. You can remove the duvet cover and put it back easily.

However, it can be cumbersome. You're trying to put that filling in there, but lining it up correctly can be difficult. Also, some people complain about the duvet when they sleep, it bunches up and they have that feeling of fighting with the duvet. Now, the differences are quite clear. I think between a duvet and a duvet, you have a piece of the duvet ready to go, ready to go. With the duvet you have both pieces, your filling and your cover. Why is it so confusing? The main reason for this is that many times you can use a duvet as a duvet filler.

Many companies even have tabs to easily secure it inside the duvet cover. Additionally, many companies use these terms interchangeably. It gets very confusing. The important thing is not so much the definitions, but knowing

what

you're buying, knowing your preferences, knowing what you're buying, and knowing that you're getting a good night's sleep in the bedding you bought. What has it really come to? I think if you're looking for something that you would pull straight out of the bag, something would go well with some sheets and pillowcases, it would definitely go with a duvet. If you are looking for a simpler look or want it to be easier to wash, want to change its appearance more frequently, definitely go for the duvet.
