The Benefits of a Fluffy Comforter Set
As the weather gets cooler and the days shorter, many of us dream about the prospect of sliding into a warm bed at night. Unfortunately, if you don’t have the right bedding, you might wind up tossing and turning rather than getting the restorative sleep you need. Here are just a few of the benefits that come with investing in a fluffy comforter set this year:
Warmth
Comforters are great for people who tend to get cold while they sleep along with those residing in cold climates. Additionally, a toasty comforter set can be crucial if you live with a partner who likes to turn the AC up at night. You can snuggle up and catch some Zs while the person on the other side of the bed stays cool and dry.
Coziness
There’s a reason most people sleep better with a blanket than they do without. Lofty and supple, a heavy comforter set can give you the feeling of sleeping under a cloud. The warm weight is also great for those who tend to get anxious at night.
Budget Friendly
The thick comforter sets available at Latest Bedding have the benefit of being budget-friendly. As a result, shoppers can invest in a few different luxury comforter sets featuring different colors, patterns, and materials. Swap them out whenever you feel like a change.
Time-Saving
One of the reasons comforter sets have been popular for decades is that they save shoppers time and money. Recognizing that people are busier than ever these days, companies like Latest Bedding offer sets of coordinated bedding. While the contents of a comforter set or bed in a bag can vary, typically they include a comforter, two pillow shams, and a bed skirt.
What Comes With a Heavy Comforter Sets
If you want to ensure your bedding items coordinate while avoiding hours of shopping time, a comforter set is a great and practical solution. While every comforter set is a little different, you can expect one to contain the following components:
Comforter
Every comforter set includes one key element: a comforter. Referring to a fabric pouch filled with fibers of cotton, wool, polyester, down, or another material, a comforter can keep you warm on even the coldest of nights. Typically, comforters are slightly flatter than duvets and can often be washed in a machine.
Shams
Along with a comforter, most sets contain a pair of pillow shams in the same size. While some people use shams in place of pillowcases, it’s more common to employ pillows with shams as decoration or back support while sitting up in bed. Pillow shams are generally machine washable and can be dried in a dryer.
Bed Skirt
To help the bed look more complete, many comforter sets include a bedskirt. A piece of fabric that wraps around the box spring, bed skirts cover the space between your comforter and the floor. They’re particularly useful for those who like to stow unsightly boxes or bins under the bed.
Decorative Pillows
Some comforter sets go above and beyond by including decorative pillows. These accent pieces come in different sizes and shapes and may feature an array of materials, including silk, faux fur, suede, and even metallics. They’re available in different patterns and colors.
Things to Look for in Your Thick Comforter Set
When choosing a heavy comforter set, it’s important to do your homework. After all, with so many options on the market, it’s only logical that certain choices would work better for particular buyers. Here are some factors to consider before choosing a thick comforter set for winter.
Fill Material
Fill material is an important consideration when it comes to comforters. Customers can choose between a down filler, which consists of duck or goose feathers, and a down alternative filler, such as cotton, rayon, or polyester. Each option has its advantages, with down being the best choice for warmth and fluffiness. On the other hand, down alternative comforters are generally more affordable and easier to care for, as you can launder them at home rather than visiting a dry cleaner.
Outer Material
The fill of a comforter is held in place with a fabric bag. While some comforter pouches are made from 100 percent cotton, others are crafted with man-made materials and blends. It’s important to do your research before buying a comforter so you know the fabric bag is a good choice for your heat and skincare needs.
Comforter Size
If you’re shopping for a bed in a bag, then one of the first things you need to do is choose the right size. Comforter sets are generally available in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king. While it’s fine to select a comforter size that matches your mattress, savvy bedroom designers recommend going up a size. An oversized comforter drapes attractively over the bed while helping sleepers feel warm and cozy in all climates.
