Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and [email protected] if anyone is interested but there’s really no reason to be.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.

    I think generally a comforter doesn’t have a removable duvet, so it would need to be washed on its own, but I’ve heard duvet + cover called “comforter” quite a bit.

    I see a blanket like this:

    A comforter like this:

    A duvet is this:

    And you would wrap the duvet in a cover, with whatever pattern you like. You’d probably have a few duvet covers, but only one duvet for a given bed.

      Those are reasonable. Based on your pictures, I would not differentiate between a comforter and duvet; and would use what you describe as a duvet without a cover. I would just wash the item on its own.

        Maybe the biggest difference is that comforters come in many colors and patterns, whereas duvets typically only come in white, and you customize the colors and patterns with the duvet cover. Functionally though, a comforter and a duvet are the same things.
