    A comforter is one piece acting as both a heavy blanket and a bedspread. A duvet cover goes over a comforter or similar for decoration. In theory you can save money with a cheap plain comforter covered by a decorative duvet cover. You can also wash a duvet cover easier and more frequently than a comforter

      Interesting. Fuck a decorative anything related to sleep or leisure though. Decorative pillows, eat my entire ass.

        Eh, duvet covers are functional though, they protect the comforter underneath from stains and excess wear and things. The fact that it’s decorative is basically just a bonus. Agree on decorative pillows though, if I can’t put my head on it I don’t want it

        I do love having a silk duvet. Yeah it is expensive, don’t care right now. The point I will actually make is you can put different inserts on the inside and have the same outside. It isn’t meant to go on top of a stereotypical comforter. The insert has loops on the corners and there are strings inside the duvet that ties to them. Otherwise, the insert looks like a very plain comforter without any decorative top. What is nice is you can get heavier or lighter inserts. I have even seen weighted blankets that have the loops on them.
