If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you don’t know the difference between a duvet and a comforter. Which one is fluffier? Which one is easier to clean? Are they even really that different? Well, you’ve come to the right place, because Sleepopolis is here to fill you in on everything you need to know about these two bedding essentials, and help you find out which is best for you.

Now, some of you may already be familiar with Casper’s mattresses and the Casper pillow but, for this demonstration, I’ll be using Casper’s Humidity Fighting Duvet and Weightless Duvet Cover. This way, you can get an up-close look at the differences (and similarities) of comforters and duvets.

Bruhhh It’s 3:52 am and I’m researching which type of covers I want😂🤦🏾‍♂️ (never heard of a Duvet until now)

[stevenwerner]

I, for one, didn’t know the difference between a comforter and a duvet! Thanks for articulating it so beautifully.

[sabinaiancu]

Thanks for the explanation. It's clear now, and that being said, no one is stopping me to put a cover on any of the blankets, duvets, or comforters that I use :))

[onyxuhh]

Im glad i watched this video… i spent 30 minutes trying to insert a bed sheet on a comforter and wondered why it wasnt working out, thanks for the info! 😅😅

[lilweezy]

The comforter looks like the duvet, and the duvet looks like the comforter 😂

[titilopeoladipo]

I stayed at an Airbnb for about 3 mos in FL and was in looove with the comforter, it was so fluffyyy. I was like damn why is this different than any comforter I’ve had before. Then wash day came and I realized it had a cover on the outside.

Now watching this video I realize the whole time it was a duvet! Can’t go back to regular comforters now lol duvets are amazing 🙌🏾

[franciscocendejas]

A lot of comforters have loops at the corners now. I bought a duvet cover for mine and it works perfectly.

[janey]

A comforter is hard to wash and heavy, But I still prefer it since I don't like to go into the hassle of inserting the duvet into its cover, it's a headache to me.

[MarielAnne]

Never heard of “duvet” until 25 yrs old lol, just comforter..
Well I’ll try the duvet now (ordering online)
Thanks for the tips!

[jaybrown]

Thanks for explaining.. I grew up in Pa in a house with only a coal stove in the kitchen for heat (no heat in bedrooms), so mom always had us layered under blankets and quilts. We always stayed warm, but getting up was brisk to say the least. Now I am 50 years old and I still sleep the same way most of the time, leave the central heat off at night, cover up in layers, and turn the heat on in the morning.

You made me understand completely the difference between the two...Some people don't describe it correctly to make us know the difference, but you did thank you 🙂

[SunnyMcvin]

Lay down duvet flat on floor. Lay over the cover. Roll the duvet along with cover from bottom to top. Rollover one edge of the cover over the roll that is formed a the end and gently unroll it. Can't explain it any better but it is a pretty easy method.

[MsShellybell]

Great video I will buy a Duvet I wash my linens twice a month I will be laundering my comforters this Sunday but the duvet will protect my nice comforters..

[danielsimmich]

I find a thin comforter the best option for summer as my only layer. It’s generally enough to keep me warm if I get too cool under the fan but due to its puffiness it feels more substantial so I don’t feel like I’m missing out

[lovehearts]

Ive been stuck on these terms for weeks now, this video was really informative, now I know what to look out for. Very insightful, thanks!

[MakaylaChildress]

I thought my duvet cover was the duvet and the duvet inside was the comforter … thank you for this !!!

[laverdadesmejor]

My last comforter cost $50. I just bought a duvet & cover - $440. Now I know the difference!

[heenahpanchalpatterson]

I use my comforter with a duvet cover. The question that brought me here is why RL duvet cover is more expensive than their duvet set. Anyways this was helpful.

[robotaholic]

OMG your shirt is fabulous! B&W are my favorite and yours is really nice! Just had to tell you

[jenniferwilson]

The snaps inside the duvet cover are brilliant. I love using a duvet but it drove me nuts when the duvet would gather at the bottom (foot) of the cover and all we would have around our head and shoulders is a thin layer of the cover (no duvet). This would lead to my fluffing and repositioning the duvet, within the cover, in the middle of the night. This doesn't make for a restful sleep. LOL Thank you for this information! Definitely going to keep an eye out for a duvet cover with snaps for our master bedroom refresh. :-)
