What is a Coverlet?

A coverlet is the epitome of understated elegance. Light and versatile, this decorative bed cover is typically made from a single piece of fabric and used as a layering piece, adding texture and style to your bed. Made from a variety of materials — often cotton, silk, or a blend — coverlets are perfect for warmer climates or those who prefer a lighter touch to their bedding.

When to choose a coverlet:

- Ideal for warmer seasons or climates.

- Perfect for adding an additional layer without the weight.

- Great for achieving a sleek, sophisticated bed look.

Whether draped casually over the bed or carefully folded at the foot, a luxury coverlet from Yves Delorme enhances any bedroom with its refined charm. For more details, explore our luxury coverlet collection.

What is a Comforter?

A comforter is synonymous with warmth and coziness. Thicker and filled with layers of insulation, comforters are designed to provide the kind of enveloping comfort that makes falling asleep on chilly nights easy. Available in a range of materials, from down comforters filled with plush natural down clusters and breathable silk options to more traditional comforters, comforters are the go-to for those colder nights.

Types of comforters:

- Down Comforters: Known for their lightweight warmth, down comforters are filled with natrual down clusters, making them both luxurious and incredibly cozy.

- Synthetic Comforters: these offer affordability and ease of care, with synthetic fillings like polyester. A great choice for everyday use.

- Silk Comforters: A truly opulent option, silk-filled comforters are breathable and offer moderate warmth, making them a great year-round choice.
