Comforters are intended to keep the user warm, especially during sleep, although they can also be used as mattress pads at the users preference. Comforters are generally large and rectangular in shape, filled with natural or synthetic insulative material and encased in a shell/covering. Like quilts, comforters are generally used with a set of sheets.
