Choosing between a comforter and a duvet ultimately comes down to personal preference. Comforters are often easier to care for and are ideal if you prefer an all-in-one solution. Comforters can be paired with a duvet cover to protect it and to offer a range of different colors and options.

Duvets, however, cannot stand alone as comforters do and require a duvet cover. When paired with a duvet cover, however, just like a comforter, they also offer an added layer of customization, allowing you to change the look and feel of your bed without purchasing a whole new bedding set.
