Dress Up Your Bedroom
A comforter is a type of cover placed on top of your bed. A lot of comforters are made from silk, stain, goose or micro-suede down. Consumers who are shopping for comforters can choose from a wide assortment of sizes such as single, queen, twin, daybed and king down comforters. Comforters are usually packed in a set that includes a bed skirt, pillowcases, and pillow shams. When selecting a comforter, it is best to measure your bed before purchasing a comforter set.
These days, families have many choices in buying comforters that range in colors, prints, styles and sizes. Always make sure to get a comforter that is wide enough to cover the edges of your bed. Comforters are now tailored using a large variety of materials from the usual silk and cotton to other comforter materials like wool, goose down, polyester, feather, or different combinations of materials.
One of the components of a down comforter is the baffle box. A down comforter is made up of rectangles, normally squares. Baffle boxes are these rectangles.
On a comforter the baffle boxes are created by sewing the front and back fabric together to form rectangles. The down is evenly distributed among the boxes so as to have uniform warmth and comfort. The baffled boxes allow the down to expand to its fullest potential for the highest loft and no cold spots. This gives the down comforter the appearance of depth.
One of the difference in quality of down comforters is how well the baffle boxes are constructed. For better quality look for true baffle box, comfort lock or end-to-end to insure the baffle boxes are fully sealed. Down comforters with baffle boxes that are not fully sealed tend to have the down move from baffle box to baffle box causing the original even distribution of down to diminish.
Down is the soft, fluffy growth found under the outer layer of breast feathers of geese and ducks. It is lighter and more flexible than the actual feathers.
Down comforters are very popular since they are very soft and warm. It offers the same protection for colder air that the down provides the geese and ducks. Goose down is more popular as it is a little softer and does not have sharp quils.
Goose down comforters offer the ultimate in comfort and insulation and are very popular. Luxury down comforters will have 80 to 90% down and a fill power of 650 or more.
