Visit a bed and bath store, and you'll find aisle after aisle devoted to every type of bedding. There are comfortable, soft sheets that make sliding into bed a joy; blankets that warm up chilly winter nights, and many different types of bedding toppers such as Mattress Toppers, Pillows & Pillow Cases and Bathrobe. The last category is where confusion might set in—comforter, duvet cover, quilt, bedspread: What’s the difference, and why should you choose one over the other, anyway? While sheets and blankets are mostly functional, the bedding topper has a more decorative purpose—it sets the pace for your bedroom’s style and feel. So when it's time to give your bedroom a new look, it helps to know which type of topper is the best choice for your space.
