How Comforter Bedding Sets Can Make Your Room Warm, Inviting and Stylish
Do you know the difference between a comforter and a duvet? If not, you may not realize that there is an option other than a duvet to dress up your bed and provide warmth.
Comforter bedding sets are excellent choices for many people as they are durable, warm and affordable as well.
Here is what you need to know about them and how to choose the one that is right for your needs.
Duvets and comforters have the same basic function.
They are designed to keep you warm as they trap warmed air and prevent it from being lost at night.
There are some differences between the two, however.
A duvet is often filled with down and a comforter is often filled with fibers that are either natural (such as silk) or synthetic.
A duvet is placed inside a cover so that it is protected as it is often used without sheets.
Comforters have a decorative fabric outer shell that is not intended for use inside a cover.
It is often used with sheets so that it does not need frequent washing.
When choosing the comforter set you will ultimately buy, think about the different pieces you want it to include.
Do you want a dust ruffle (also known as a bed skirt) along with matching shams? Do you want to look for more extensive product lines that include coordinating sheets, window coverings and table coverings? There are many different sets that allow you to decorate your entire bedroom quickly and easily.
Dimensions should also be a consideration that you think about.
Don't use the standard measurements for the size of your bed.
If your mattress is extra thick it may end up making your comforter look too small.
Measure the width and then add an amount equal to the drop on each side.
Also measure the length adding in the drop on one side.
This will give you a perfect size to look for although you may not be able to find a comforter that is exactly that size.
Since comforters can be expensive you may want to make sure that you get the most for your money.
One way to do this is to buy a two-sided comforter.
They may be available in sets that are made from two coordinating fabrics.
All you need to do is flip them over and your look has completely changed.
However, because the fabrics coordinate, they still work in your room's overall style and color scheme.
Quality should also be a high priority when it comes to choosing a comforter set.
Some are poorly made and will wear out in a very short period of time.
Look for fabric that is high quality and which will not develop holes and tears after a short period of time.
Also make sure that trim is sewed on well and that any seams will not unravel easily.
If you look online it can be a great way to see what is available.
By choosing good comforter bedding sets for your home you can make your family and your guests feel at home and cared for while they are under your roof.
