What is the difference between a duvet, a comforter, and a bedspread?

I hear duvets are easier to keep the bed neat and make it in the morningsI need something that is not too heavy and easily washable, tooAny suggestions where I can get an affordable bed covering that is durable and washable?Thanks!

Answer:

Try Ralph Lauren or Sanika Girl
Duvets originated in EuropeThey are a thick bed covering that would keep you incredibly warm without having to add blankets as they were filled with goose or duck downNowadays, you can also get duvets filled with fiber but a true duvet is down filledIt's easier to make the bed in a quick neat way because all you have to do is tuck in the sheets, give the duvet a big fluff, cover the bed and away you goA duvet should not be used as is, but needs a duvet cover to protect it and those come in a variety of fabricsA comforter is a lighter polyfilled bedcover that gives varying degrees of warmth depending on the fillingIt can range from inexpensive cotten covered kids Spiderman comforters to very ornate with piping around the seamsIt's all one pieceA bedspread does not have a fillerIt's like a blanket but designed to cover the entire bed and usually does not give a lot of warmthChenille used to be a popular fabric for bedspreads.
