A comforter is a type of bedding — a soft flat bag used on a bed as a type of bed cover. It is filled with either an artificial material (such as polyester batting) or a natural material. A comforter usually doesn't cover the pillows or box spring of the bed. It is basically a luxurious thick, fluffy blanket that people put on their bed to achieve a much higher level of comfort and warmth. A similar type covering made from feathers (often including down) is generally referred to as a duvet.

In British English, a comforter can also mean a baby's pacifier or soother.

In Christianity, The Comforter, or Second Comforter, may refer to the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. The idea is based on a statement by Christ in the New Testament.
