What do American's call Duvets/Quilts?

Answer 1

In America, quilts are two layers of fabric with a layer of batting (wadding, in some countries) in between. The bottom layer of fabric is usually plain. The top layer is usually either patchwork or applique. The three layers are sewn together with a decorative pattern.

Duvets are usually called comforters, although we put "duvet covers" on our "comforters." A comforter is usually a solid piece of decorative fabric on top, a solid piece of plain fabric on the bottom, and a fluffy filling. Sometimes a comforter is plain on both top and bottom, with the intent that they be put inside a decorative cover. The filling can range from polyester to feathers to down to a combination. Usually the feather or down comforters are plain.

Some people also call them bedspreads (although that's usually reserved for a single layer bed cover).
