What is a Dohar? Cotton Dohar vs Comforter vs AC Blanket

If you have ever stood in front of a bedding aisle wondering whether you need a dohar, a comforter or an AC blanket, you are not alone. They look similar but suit very different needs.

What is a dohar?

A dohar is a lightweight, breathable quilted blanket, traditionally three layers of pure cotton. It is the classic Indian all-rounder: warm enough for an air-conditioned room, light enough for summer nights.

Dohar vs comforter vs AC blanket

• Dohar — lightweight, 100% cotton, breathable. Best for spring, summer and AC rooms.
• Comforter — thicker, with a soft fill for warmth. Best for winter and cold climates.
• AC blanket — a light, cosy throw made for year-round air-conditioned comfort.

Which should you buy?

For most Indian homes, a cotton dohar is the most versatile choice. Add a comforter for winter, and keep a light dohar for the rest of the year. Explore the full range in Dohars & Comforters.
