A quilt is a thin bed cover with insulative batting sandwiched between two layers of fabric. It is then either hand or machine quilted to hold the batting in place.
A comforter, on the other hand, is a thicker fluffier bed cover made up of fabric stuffed with down, down alternative, or batting. It is then tied with string to hold the batting in place.
