I grew up calling what I have on my bed 'a duvet'. Menard, for some strange reason calls it 'the blanket'.
I have lost the battle with Sophia, cos she's learnt to call it the blanket too.
Today I was trying to teach Jaiden the word 'duvet'. Every time I said it he laughed histerically, with his gorgeous giggle.
"Du-vey"
"giggle giggle giggle"
Hm, I'll call that progress, I think.

To me, a duvet is a down comforter or other thick, fluff-filled bed covering. A bedspread is a thin bed covering that is the top layer for looks. A blanket is a warm covering that goes over the sheet but typically under a bedspread - and is what provides the actual warmth. You wouldn't need a blanket with a duvet, as goose down is usually quite warming enough.
However, I can't claim those as American definitions because I've heard others call them by different names as well.
Also - I say it "doo-VAY" but I've heard some people pronounce it "DOO-vee" so even when two people call one thing the same name, they can still manage to do it differently! LOL
