choosing a comforter or comforter set that’s right for your
sleeping quarters and you, there are things to consider.
Silk Comforters - are whats considered a luxury comforter.
Today being more health conscious, many people are choosing silk
comforters because there soft and luxurious. Silk duvets are
also hypoallergenic and not attractive to dust mites. So those
that are allergic or chemically sensitive, the silk comforter is
an excellent choice.
Down Comforter - usually filled with duck or goose feathers in
a cotton shell. The down comforter is warm in the winter but hot
in the summer. The higher the fill count the softer and warmer
the comforter. Goose feathers provide a softer feeling than duck
feathers. Make sure you check to make sure that the thread count
on the shell is high to prevent feathers from protruding through
the shell.
Synthetic Down Comforters - are also hypoallergenic and
simulate the feel and softness of real down. The benefit to
synthetic down is laundering unlike real down it is low
maintenance and easy to wash.
Cotton Comforter - is a 100% cotton fill and shell. Cotton
does not provide a light feeling. If you like something heavy on
top then this is an excellent choice. A cotton comforter breaths
so they are best used in warm weather. Insulating properties are
not like the down and silk comforters.
Please keep in mind that the right comforter might just keep you
in bed all day.
