Comforters
What is a comforter? Seems like an odd question to many, but understanding the differences between bedding top covers is crucial when making a selection. A comforter is a combination of the best of all top covers. That's the simple answer.
A comforter is like a blanket in that it is a top cover than keeps one warm on cold nights in winter. A comforter is like a quilt and a duvet in that there is "stuffing" between two sheets of fabric held in place by quilting (or sewing) a pattern or even square areas through the top sheet, the bottom sheet, and the stuffing. A comforter is like a duvet in that it is fluffy in most cases, although filled with a cotton or man-made fiber rather than down. In summary, comforters generally are less expensive than down duvets, thicker than a blanket and more loosely filled than a quilt.
Now that we know exactly what we are looking for, it bears mentioning that most comforters are machine washable, unlike wool blankets or duvets.
When shopping for a comforter, the size of the comforter is directly related to the size of the sheets. However, when purchasing a comforter as a single item, many choose to purchase one that is a size larger for better coverage. For example, if shopping for a full size bed, a king size comforter would have more "hang" than the full size comforter. Of course, if buying a bedding ensemble or bed in a bag, the comforter is usually included as part of the set.
One of the all time favorite color combinations can be found in the black and white comforter because it will work with almost any accent color. Whatever the color, pattern or size, there is a comforter or comforter set that will add style to the bedroom.
