With the arrival of winter and the great cold, some questions arise spontaneously to answer with your partner: "For our nights, what do we choose between duvet and comforter?"

She loves the comforter, he loves the duvet cover, how to reconcile? Gabel 1957 answers this question by highlighting the characteristics and differences between duvet and quilt and offering all the information to be able to choose together.

DUVET AND COMFORTER, COMMON POINTS AND INCONCILIABLE DIFFERENCES

When you are embraced by a duvet or a comforter, the first sensation given by both is certainly of great warmth. Both the comforter and the duvet can then be padded with hypoallergenic fiber or with natural materials, such as goose down, ingeo wool, silk or hypoallergenic synthetic fibers.
The common points end here, however, there are numerous differences: the comforter is made up of three layers. The external fabric can vary according to tastes and choices: it is decorative, in cotton with jacquard or printed processing. An internal lining, with generally softer fabrics than the external ones, has the task of transmitting comfort and pleasure to our body. A padding in natural material such as goose down or hypoallergenic synthetic fiber.
The biggest difference concerns the "dressing of the bed": the duvet cover is more modern and only covers the bed surface (without the cushions). The comforter covers the whole bed, in a more formal and elegant, classic way, with coordinated sheets and pillows.
The comforter is infinitely refined, belongs to a ritual, a ceremony and is only winter. In our selection of duvets instead you will also find the 4 seasons, with the possibility of using it all year round.

THE WEIGHT OF THE CHOICE: WEIGHTS AND PADDING OF DUVETS AND QUILTS

The weight indicates the weight of the quilt or duvet and allows you to get an idea of ​​the heat given off and retained. Weight is a fundamental dimension in the choice and the quilt generally weighs twice the duvet. The higher the quality of the feather inside the quilts and duvets, the less quantity will be needed to fill them, making them softer and lighter.
