Here's the differences.

Quilts need to have a feminine or historic feel to it. I've only known women to own them.

Comforters have a more practical feel to it.

Duvets are for people who have a penchant to surrender during wartime.

Not exactly true. Only women can quilt, but they often make them for their loved ones, including males. So anyone can own a quilt, but only women can make them. Except for the unquilted kind. Anyone can make those.

You just disagreed with a point I didn't actually make...

Idk but how come those Mexican blankets make you itchy?

At lunch today a colleague advised that when he was younger, he had a Toronto Maple Leafs "quilt".

I puzzlingly asked him whether it was a regular comforter, or an actual quilt. He insisted they were the same thing. I insisted they were not.

Thankfully, Wikipedia was here to save us: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilt

According to Wikipedia: "In modern English, the word "quilt" can also be used to refer to an unquilted duvet or comforter."

How can a "quilt" refer to an "unquilted" object? That's literally demonic, and akin to the modern use of "literally" to sometimes mean "figuratively".

What say you? Do you use the term "quilt" to refer to any type of comforter? Can we all agree that all quilts must be quilted, and that an unquilted object cannot be a quilt?

Yea it's demonic alright. And I do mean that literally

I mean, when I say I slept with a comforter last night, I usually mean this...

When I tell people I slept with 2 comforters and they ask if it gets me really hot the answer is always

YES

If i quilted something, and someone called it a comforter, someone would get stabbed with a quilting needle.

“I’ve only known women to own them.” Who said that quote? Was it Abe Lincoln? Kenny Florian? No, pretty sure it was @TheTickG

"So anyone can own a quilt" was your point while disagreeing.

However, I didn't say "only women can own them." I said, "I've only known women to own them."

The point you were making was who can own a quilt, but my comment was about who I've seen owning quilts.

Your friends will have to pay full price. If you let them know you are @Osculater on Sherdog they'll give you a sweetheart deal

No self-respecting Sherdogger uses the word "comforter."
