Blankets

Comforters

1. Design and Construction: Blankets are typically single-layered and lightweight, designed to be easily draped over the body. They can be made from various materials such as cotton, wool, fleece, or acrylic.
2. Size and Coverage: Blankets are usually smaller and come in standardized sizes like twin, queen, or king. They are designed to cover the body while sleeping and can be used individually or layered with other bedding.
3. Thickness and Warmth: Blankets are generally thinner and provide moderate warmth. They are suitable for use in milder climates or during warmer seasons. 
4. Versatility: Blankets are versatile and can be used in various settings beyond the bed. They can be easily carried and used on couches, chairs, or during outdoor activities 
5. Maintenance: Blankets are typically easier to maintain as they are lighter and can be laundered more frequently. They can be machine washed and dried. 

1. On the other hand, comforters are thicker and more substantial. They consist of two fabric layers stitched together, enclosing a layer of insulation in between. Comforters are often filled with down feathers, synthetic fibers, or other materials to provide insulation and loft.

5. Comforters, due to their size and bulkiness, may require special care. Depending on the construction and filling, they may need professional cleaning or larger-capacity washing machines.
