One of the easiest ways to dress up a bed and make it look good is through the use of either a duvet or a comforter. There are a few reasons why you may want to choose comforter bedding sets rather than duvet sets to dress your bed. Here is a look at what these sets are, what their advantages are and how to choose the one that is right for your needs. Comforters are very different than duvets. A duvet usually consists of a filling of down or feathers inside a cloth shell. This is then placed in a decorative cover that protects it from dirt and wear. Comforters are often stuffed with fibers rather than feathers and are covered with fabric that is decorative. Because they are usually filled with fibers, comforters can be a great choice for people who have allergies to feathers. Covered duvets can be used without sheets as the cover can be washed. Comforters are often paired with sheets so that the outer shell of the comforter remains clean. Comforter bedding sets are available in many different sizes. They usually include a comforter and matching pillow covers, called shams. Some sets may also include a bed skirt (also known as a dust ruffle) and may have coordinating sheets and curtains that can be purchased separately. This makes it easier to design a room that looks coordinated and put together. One of the most important things you need to keep in mind when shopping for comforter sets is the size of your bed. Although most beds are a fairly standard size the thickness of the mattress can influence the size of the comforter you may want to buy. Measure your bed and write down the dimensions before you shop. You should measure starting from the point that the comforter should reach on one side of the bed. Carry on up over the mattress, and down to the corresponding point on the other side. Also measure the length. This will give you the dimensions you need to look for. Once you know the size, you can look at specific sets. One thing that you may want to consider is picking a set that uses two different fabrics. It can be very easy to change the look of a room and freshen it up by flipping it over. It can help you get twice as much life out of the same set. Because you want your comforter to last, make sure that you look for one that is well made. Good quality fabric on the exterior will mean that it will not show wear and tear as quickly. It can prevent holes from developing as these can allow the stuffing to work its way out. Also look for seams that are well sewn and accessories that are similarly well made. Then your set will last as long as possible. Make sure that you wash it according to the instructions to keep from damaging the fabric. Shopping for beds online can be a great way to save money on some beautiful comforter bedding sets. By looking at the end of the season and on sites that offer excess goods at discount prices you will often be able to afford a better set than would otherwise be possible. Taking the time before making your final selection can be the key to getting the set you want at a price you can afford.
