WHAT DOES COMFORTER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

comforter

Comforter

A comforter, also known as a doona in Australian English or a continental quilt in British English, is a type of bedding. Comforters are a type of blanket, filled with natural or synthetic insulative material and encased in a shell/covering. Like quilts, comforters are generally used with a set of bed sheets. Duvets are another form of quilt, traditionally filled with feathers though often made of synthetic fibres. Comforter Comforter sizes correspond with bed sizes: twin, full, queen, king, and cal-king. Comforter sizes run slightly larger than actual bed sizes to allow for draping over the sides of the bed. Typical sizes in the United States for comforters are: ▪ Twin = 64" Width x 87" Length ▪ Queen / Full = 87" Width x 87" Length ▪ King = 101" Width x 90" Length. A comforter is sometimes covered for protection and prolonged use. Comforter covers are similar in principle to pillowcases, usually closed with zippers or buttons. In the United Kingdom the term comforter is not generally used, it is instead called an eiderdown. A Duvet differs in that it is thicker and usually used without blankets or extra sheets.

8 QUOTES WITH «COMFORTER»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word comforter.
1
Michele Bachmann
The Holy Spirit is our comforter, our teacher. That's why, in prayer, we can ask the Lord to open up Scripture and make it come alive to us, to open our understanding. He left his Spirit with us until we join him in Heaven.
2
Isaac Barrow
He who loveth a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counsellor, a cheerful companion, or an effectual comforter.
3
Jane Welsh Carlyle
Never does one feel oneself so utterly helpless as in trying to speak comfort for great bereavement. I will not try it. Time is the only comforter for the loss of a mother.
4
Jane Welsh Carlyle

5
Elias Hicks
O that our hearts were enlarged in love to God, that we might turn inward, to the blessed comforter, that the blessed Jesus said the Father would send.
6
Jacob Latimore
I like everything in my room has to be in order. If there's a wrinkle in the comforter, I'm stretching it out. But this is only when it comes to my room. Outside of there, I'm not as intense.
7
Daniel Morgan
I believe in one God, the first and great cause of goodness. I also believe in Jesus Christ, the rebirth of the world. I also believe in the Holy Ghost, the comforter.
8
Srikumar Rao
Just being aware of what you are about to do greatly diminishes the tendency to do what you don't want to. You will pull your hand back from that pizza slice, tell the waitress that you are passing on dessert, put on your gym shoes instead of going under the comforter, and take several deep breaths instead of screaming at your daughter.
