A comforter is filled with a natural or synthetic fiber and encased in a covering or shell. Alternatively, a duvet (also known as a quilt cover) covers a comforter similar to a big pillowcase and is commonly referred to as the cover for a down comforter.

A useful advantage to the duvet is that the comforter and cover is separate, so they can be washed separately. A duvet cover can be washed more regularly and will be much easier to maintain and keep the bedding clean, rather than a traditional comforter, which is fantastic for a children’s bedroom that has above average wear.

Another advantage of the duvet and quilt covers is that, having the duvet and duvet cover as two separate pieces you can control the temperature of your bedding, while retaining the butterfly theme in the bedroom. In cooler climates you might like a wool filled duvet for extra warmth, while in the warmer climates, you might prefer a lighter option.
