Dreaming of a beautiful bedroom to relax in at the end of the day? Creating an extraordinary space is easier than you think once you understand the bedding options available. Bed skirts, bedspreads, comforters, pillow shams, and duvets—no matter your style, you can create a bedroom that feels like your own personal retreat.
Understanding the Basics
Bedspread
A bedspread is a general term for pre‑filled bed covers designed to be the top layer on a bed. Comforters, quilts, and coverlets all fall under this category. Bedspreads can be decorative or functional, lightweight or warm, and are available in a wide range of fabrics.
Comforter
Comforters are filled with layers of material such as polyester batting, down, feathers, or wool. The loft (or thickness) of the filling determines both the weight and the level of insulation. Plain comforters—often called duvets—are typically used inside a duvet cover, while decorative comforters can be used alone or layered for added style.
Comforters are stitched or quilted to keep the filling evenly distributed and are intended to sit on top of your sheets as the main bed covering.
Typical U.S. comforter sizes include:
- Twin: 64" x 87"
- Full/Queen: 87" x 87"
- King: 101" x 90"
Duvet & Duvet Cover
A duvet is a soft, flat bag filled with down, feathers, or a synthetic alternative. It’s designed to be used inside a removable duvet cover—much like a pillow inside a pillowcase. Most duvet covers close with buttons or a zipper for easy removal and washing.
Quilt
Quilts are beloved for their craftsmanship and heritage. They are typically made of three layers: a woven top, a layer of batting, and a woven backing, all stitched together in decorative patterns. Quilt designs range from traditional to modern, making them a versatile option for any bedroom.
Coverlet
A coverlet is a lightweight, non‑reversible bedspread that is usually quilted or woven. Traditionally used as a decorative layer over thicker bedding, coverlets often include a thin layer of batting—making them suitable as a stand‑alone bed covering depending on the weight. They also work beautifully as throws on a bed or sofa.
