Many of us have enjoyed wrapping ourselves under a cozy, thick comforter to beat the chill during autumn and winter. There are even all-seasons comforters designed for year-round use.<\/p>\n
However, buying the right comforter can be challenging since their sizes can vary. If you\u2019re not careful choosing your comforter, it may extend down to your floor or just barely cover the edges of your mattress<\/a>. Your comforter should have some leeway when it comes to how much it hangs over the edge, particularly since some fills expand more than others, reducing the comforter\u2019s surface area.<\/p>\n A comforter is a thick, quilted blanket designed to keep you warm.

A comforter is made to be used with other bedding, while a duvet is meant to replace your top sheet and blanket. This is why many duvets are thicker than the average comforter.<\/p>\n A cover for a duvet or comforter acts like a pillowcase. You slip it over the comforter for protection. Some covers have a zipper, others a series of buttons.<\/p>\n We always recommend washing your bedding once a week<\/a>\u00a0to keep dust mites down. However, comforters and duvets are bulky pieces that may not fit in your washer. To save yourself from paying for a professional cleaning every week, you can slip them inside a cover and wash that once a week. Then you only need to clean your comforter once or twice a year.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to buy a comforter separately and try to match it with your existing bedding. Bedding sets exist that help you create a more uniform bedspread.<\/p>\n Aside from a comforter, the set often includes:<\/p>\n Bed-in-a-bag sets are slightly different from a comforter set.
