Comforter
A comforter (American English) is a type of blanket. Comforters are intended to keep the user warm, especially during sleep. Comforters are generally large and rectangular in shape, filled with natural or synthetic insulative material and encased in a shell/covering. Like quilts, comforters are generally used with a set of bed sheets. Duvets are a form of comforter, traditionally filled with feathers though often made of synthetic fibres.
