These are the fat content of different creams
United States
In the United States, cream is usually sold as:
Half and half (10.518% fat)
Light, coffee, or table cream (1830% fat)
Medium cream (25% fat)
Whipping or light Whipping cream (3036% fat)
Heavy Whipping cream (36% or more)
Extra-heavy, double, or manufacturer's cream (3840% or more), generally not available at retail
Whipping or light whipping cream is best as it is 30-36% fat. Heavy whipping cream is not that much more fat content so it will still work.
I was wondering the same thing and found this:

I usually can't find heavy cream at my supermarket and have to make do with whipping cream.
