SIZE GUIDE
In Australian English, a duvet is also called a doona and in American English, it may be called a comforter; however, a comforter is usually a slightly different type of bedding that is not as thick, does not have a cover, and is often used over a top sheet. In the United Kingdom a duvet is known as a continental quilt (often just shortened to quilt) and a duvet cover goes over the top of a duvet. American beds are twin, full, queen, and king, in ascending order. The basic sizes for British beds, respectively, are single, double, king, and super-king. A duvet is actually similar to a comforter, but is usually insulated with a material that you wouldn't want to run through the wash, like down (goose feathers). Then you put it inside a slipcover, so you can change the style of your bedding more often. The duvet covers are easier to wash and dry than an entire comforter, for example. | |
