Comforters are thick and bulky which adds height to your bed, while bedspreads are much thinner which is ideal for people looking to maintain a sleek bed profile. Comforters tend to be relatively plain and generic in terms of design, typically coming in solid colors. Bedspreads tend to be much more decorative, which can be great for homeowners who want to add flair or an element of style to match their home decor.
Bedspreads and comforters have a few notable differences which are important to consider when choosing a bedding option. Each has a unique purpose, and you may decide that one is right for your bedroom or that you should use a combination of both. Regardless of what you decide, make sure you invest in quality when choosing your bedding.

October 19, Read More. September 28, A duvet cover may also be layered over a quilt or blanket, folded at the foot of the bed or pulled all the way up, as an extra layer of warmth. A duvet cover hangs down the sides of the bed to cover the box spring; it is never tucked in. Blanket A blanket is a generic term that refers to almost any bed covering thicker than a sheet, including quilts, duvets, and comforters.
It can also refer to a more utilitarian woven covering that is sandwiched between a flat sheet and another layer primarily for warmth.
A blanket drapes over the sides of the bed. Our Chatham blanket is a versatile favorite. Blanket Cover A blanket cover is a very lightweight decorative covering that is layered over a blanket, almost like a decorative top sheet. The fitted sheet, flat sheet, and blanket cover can be pulled off the bed and washed in a single load.
Comforter A comforter is an easy to use layer that sits on top of the mattress. It functions similarly to a duvet and duvet cover, but is instead constructed in one piece, with widely spaced functional stitching that ensures its filling remains evenly distributed. Matouk does not manufacture this category of bedcovering. Quilt A quilt is comprised of three layers—two layers of fabric with batting in between—stitched together, often with a decorative design.
Matouk quilts are constructed from the same fabric as the fitted and top sheets, making them soft enough to sleep under. A quilt is thinner than the more voluminous duvet cover or comforter, but denser, resulting in a heavier feel atop the body. Luxury quilts can be used solo over a flat sheet or layered over a blanket or under a duvet cover. A coverlet can be tucked in or left untucked if edged with decorative trim.
Comforters are usually warm enough to use without a blanket underneath. Often, you'll find comforters sold as a set with matching shams. They are also a good choice if you are shopping on a tight budget.

The duvet cover protects the inner comforter and is easy to remove for laundering, an improvement over traditional comforters and quilts, which are generally not easy to wash.
In Europe, it is common to use the duvet without a top sheet underneath, but old habits die hard, and most Americans still use a duvet over a top sheet. The warmth of a duvet depends on the type and amount of filling. Duvet covers are now easy to find in a wide range of styles, especially if you are looking for a contemporary or sophisticated look. Fabrics range from cotton to silk to synthetics and blends, sometimes with additional embroidery or other embellishments.
Duvet covers are often sold with matching shams for a matched bedroom ensemble. Especially good for minimalist, sophisticated, or modern bedrooms. Bedspreads are single-layer bedding toppers that cover the entire bed right down to the floor and often cover the pillows as well. Many bedspreads have elaborate pompom, corduroy, or chenille finishes, and some have fringe along the bottom edges.
Solid colors are most common, although there are printed bedspreads available. Bedspreads are lightweight, so are best for summer use, or used over a blanket in cooler weather. Although you still commonly find bedspreads in hotels, they are somewhat out of fashion for home use. Bedspreads are especially good for guest rooms, or for any bedroom with a retro style.
