Oh, so you are just talking about a heavy quilt? Most of the time "comforter" and "duvet" are actually the same thing, and the ones that say "duvet" cost more because they have higher social aspirations.
With less smartassedness involved, the bags filled with polyester would more accurately be called "comforter" while the bags filled with goose feathers would be called "duvet."
