What do you stuff a comforter with?

My husband bought this really nice comforter, but when we received the order by mail, the comforter didn't have any filling. I'm not sure what the name of the thing is that we have to purchase in order to make our comforter comforting and warm and fluffy! Does any one else have an idea?

1. Cotton
2. Sounds as if you may have purchased a duvet. That is sort of a huge pillowslip for quilts or blankets. I have two on the bunkbeds my grandkids use when they come visit. I just bought a fluffy king-size quilt at the thrift shop, washed it, and cut it to fit inside the duvets. Then I turned under and stitched the raw edges of the quilt so the filling will stay in. The kids love them. I've also seen people cut or fold blankets to fit and loosely tie them together every foot or so as you would a quilt. Then put them in the duvet. I actually prefer a duvet because you can easily take out the quilt or blankets and wash it in the machine since it is only the size of a couple of sheets. They are nice year-round, too, beause you can use them without the quilt in summer or add more layers inside in the winter.
3. no way cotton.....cotton is way too expensive and all the fluffiness is lost in days.the correct filling material is'DACRON'.its something like synthetic cotton.it is available in almost all interior decor supplies stores.and if what you have bought is a duvet cover then no need to worry you get readymade duvet fillings of standard sizes.all the best with your comforter!!!!!!!!!!
