When talking about bedding in Chinese, you'll often encounter the word 被子 (bèizi). This versatile term covers a range of items that keep you warm in bed, such as a quilt, blanket, or duvet. While there are more specific terms for each of these in Chinese, 被子 is a great general word to know and will be understood by native speakers in most contexts. For example, if you're staying at a hotel, you might ask, “可以给我多一床被子吗？ (Kěyǐ gěi wǒ duō yī chuáng bèizi ma?)” which means, “Could I have an extra blanket?”
The Chinese word 被子 (bèizi) is a common noun that refers to a quilt, blanket, or duvet. It’s an essential word for describing bedding in everyday situations. You'll often use it when talking about making a bed, staying warm, or sleeping. For example, if you want to say “cover yourself with a blanket,” you would use 被子.

When discussing bedding, native Chinese speakers often simply say 被子 (bèizi), even if it's technically a blanket or duvet. They usually won't use more specific terms like 毯子 (tǎnzi, blanket) unless they need to emphasize the distinction, for instance, between a thin blanket and a thick quilt.
You'll frequently hear people ask, “盖被子了吗？” (Gài bèizi le ma? Have you covered yourself with a quilt/blanket?) or comment, “这被子真暖和！” (Zhè bèizi zhēn nuǎnhuo! This quilt/blanket is so warm!). This generalized use of 被子 is common in everyday conversations, making it a highly practical term to master early on.

§ What is a 被子?
The Chinese word for 'quilt', 'blanket', or 'duvet' is 被子 (bèizi). It's a fundamental word you'll encounter often, especially when talking about anything related to beds, sleeping, or even just keeping warm. Think of it as the general term for that cozy thing you pull over yourself when you're in bed.
- DEFINITION
- Quilt; blanket; duvet.
In English, we have specific words like 'quilt' (often thicker, stitched), 'blanket' (can be thinner, knitted or woven), and 'duvet' (a soft flat bag filled with feathers or synthetic material). In Chinese, 被子 is often used to cover all these. You might hear people use it interchangeably for what you consider a blanket or a duvet.
For example, if you're in a hotel in China and you ask for an extra blanket, you would typically say '再给我一床被子' (zài gěi wǒ yī chuáng bèizi – give me another 被子). They won't usually distinguish between a thin blanket and a thick duvet in that context. It's simply what you sleep under.
我需要一床新的被子。
(Wǒ xūyào yī chuáng xīn de bèizi.)
I need a new quilt/blanket.
§ When to use 被子
You use 被子 whenever you're talking about the covering you use for sleeping or keeping warm in bed. It's a very practical word. Here are some common scenarios:
- When making your bed: You'll hear '叠被子' (dié bèizi), which means 'to fold the 被子'.
- When you're cold: '盖被子' (gài bèizi) means 'to cover oneself with a 被子'.
- When buying bedding: If you go to a store, you'll ask for '被子' if you want a new blanket, quilt, or duvet.
请把被子叠好。
(Qǐng bǎ bèizi dié hǎo.)
Please fold the quilt/blanket neatly.
晚上睡觉记得盖被子。
(Wǎnshàng shuìjiào jìde gài bèizi.)
Remember to cover yourself with the quilt/blanket when you sleep at night.
The character '被' (bèi) itself can mean 'to cover' or 'by' (as in a passive voice marker), but in the context of 被子, it's firmly a noun for bedding. The '子' (zi) is a common suffix in Chinese that often makes a noun feel more familiar or refers to smaller things, though in this case, 被子 isn't necessarily small!
Understanding 被子 is important for daily conversations, especially if you're traveling or living in a Chinese-speaking environment. You'll use it when discussing sleep, comfort, and even doing chores around the house. Don't overthink the specific English translation too much. Just remember that it's the main item you use to keep warm in bed.
So, next time you tuck yourself in, think about your 被子!

Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, Mandarin ChineseKultureller Kontext
In Chinese culture, a <i>被子</i> is a staple in every home, often thicker and warmer than Western duvets due to historical preferences for less indoor heating. It's common to see <i>被子</i> airing out on balconies, especially on sunny days, to keep them fresh and fluffy. The act of making one's bed with a <i>被子</i> is a simple, everyday ritual.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenThe word for 'quilt' in Chinese is 被子 (bèi zi). It can also mean blanket or duvet.
Yes, absolutely! 被子 (bèi zi) is commonly used for 'blanket' as well as 'quilt' and 'duvet'.
While both can be translated as 'blanket', 被子 (bèi zi) generally refers to a thicker, warmer covering, often filled, like a duvet or comforter. 毯子 (tǎn zi) is typically a thinner, single-layer blanket.
You can say: 我喜欢这张被子。 (Wǒ xǐ huān zhè zhāng bèi zi.) - I like this quilt/blanket. Or: 晚上很冷，我要盖被子。 (Wǎn shàng hěn lěng, wǒ yào gài bèi zi.) - It's cold at night, I need to cover myself with a quilt/blanket.
The most common measure word for 被子 (bèi zi) is 条 (tiáo), for example, 一条被子 (yì tiáo bèi zi) - one quilt/blanket. You can also use 床 (chuáng), which is usually for a bed or a set of bedding, like 一张床被子 (yì zhāng chuáng bèi zi) - a bed quilt/duvet.
Yes, 被子 (bèi zi) is definitely something you sleep under to keep warm in bed. It's an essential part of bedding.
被子 is pronounced bèi zi. 'Bèi' has the 4th tone (falling tone), and 'zi' is a neutral tone.
For a baby blanket, you would typically use a more specific term like 婴儿毯 (yīng ér tǎn) or a small 小被子 (xiǎo bèi zi). While 被子 (bèi zi) can broadly cover it, using '婴儿毯' is more precise.
被子 (bèi zi) specifically refers to the quilt or blanket itself. 被褥 (bèi rù) is a more general term that refers to bedding in a broader sense, including quilts, mattresses, pillows, etc.
You would find a 被子 (bèi zi) on a bed, or you can buy one at a department store, a bedding shop, or a supermarket. In Chinese, you might say: 我去商店买被子。 (Wǒ qù shāng diàn mǎi bèi zi.) - I'm going to the store to buy a quilt/blanket.
