Comforters
Comforters are really popular bed linen products on the market now. They add style, color and originality to your room and also ensure a higher level of warmth. If you are going to buy a comforter, then pay attention to some factors listed below:
Size
You should carefully measure your bed before you choose a comforter. Some brands reduce the price by lumping together different sizes like Full/Queen or King. The best comforters are produced especially for each size bed. They are tagged with the finished size. You should compare this size with the measurements you did to your bed.
Thread Count
Thread count means the number of threads contained in one inch of fabric used for the cover of a comforter. The best and most expensive materials have a higher thread count (about 250 and more). High thread counts guarantees that the fabric is luxurious, softer will surely last longer.
Filling
Comforters are commonly filled with polyester batting. The loft of the filling usually specify the size of a comforter and also the isolation ability. Quilting helps to make the filling evenly distributed inside the comforter. There are also some organic fillings used in comforters:
- Down is the best insulating material. It is so useful because of its ability for keeping you warm as well as being very lightweight.
- Natural Wool. Wool is resilient and durable and it also provides even temperature comfortable and insulation.
- Organic Cotton. It is an ideal solution for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies. Cotton wicks perspiration and absorbs moisture.
- Organic Kapok. It feels as plush as down and keeps its loft for many years. And caring for a kapok comforter very easy, just like caring for cotton.
Versatility
Some manufacturers make comforters with different colors or patterns on each side. You can easily get an absolutely different look for your bed or the whole room by just turning the comforter over.
Details
Pay attention to some details that add a designer look to your comforter. Just remember to make sure that any ties, ruffles or buttons are disposed away from your face as you sleep.
