A comforter is designed to keep you warm and cosy throughout the night however different fabrics may also make them suitable for summer. A comforter is typically known to be lightweight,plush, fluffy, and often quilted, it serves as the final layer for your bedding set. Since it doesn’t need a quilt cover, it offers versatility in styling your bed. Our comforter sets come in various fabrics, sizes, and fillings, ensuring even warmth distribution with secure stitching. Find the ideal comforter to enhance your sleep and add a touch of affordable luxury to your home.
Are comforters the same as a quilt/ doona /duvet?
Ultimately comforters and quilts have the same function in providing warmth, however, there are some key differences. To start, a comforter is a single piece of bedding that is filled and generally quilted so that the fill is evenly distributed. Comforters are designed to be the last layer on your bed and are often used as a stand-alone piece of bedding.
Essentially they are a 2-in-1 product as there is no need for a quilt cover, as they already come in a range of designs. We recommend comforters to people who are looking for an easy-to-care-for bedding solution but who are also not looking for too much warmth.
Think of comforters as a lighter top layer - great for the warmer months, hot sleepers or even for those who are wanting some extra layers on the bed. For those who want a more versatile bedding solution, and are looking for more warmth then we recommend going for a quilt.
The great thing about quilts is that they come in a range of different weights, whether that be a summer, all-season or winter weight and a variety of fills including microfibre, wool, down or even bamboo.
This means that you can choose a quilt based on your own individual wants and needs. Another unique characteristic of quilts is that they do require a quilt cover just to keep the quilt itself protected. This allows you to change the look of your bed very easily without being tied down to a single design.
How often do you wash a comforter?
We recommend that you wash your comforter every 3 months to keep it fresh and clean. A good guide is to give your comforter a wash every change of season or spot clean after any spill. Our tip is to use a flat sheet, which will protect your comforter and keep it cleaner for longer so long as you are regularly washing your sheets.
Are comforters machine washable?
Before washing your comforter be sure to check the manufacturer's care guide to ensure it can withstand a machine wash. For machine washable comforters, wash on a cold gentle cycle with a mild detergent and just leave it to air dry in the shade. Otherwise, a cold hand wash will work just as well.
What are the benefits of using a comforter?
They keep you warm. Comforters are made of materials that trap heat, making them ideal for use in cold weather.
They are soft and comfortable.Comforters are made of soft, fluffy materials that are pleasant to sleep on.
They are easy to care for. Most comforters can be machine-washed and dried, making them low-maintenance.
They can add style to your bedroom. Comforters come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can choose one that matches your décor.
What is the difference between a comforter and a coverlet?
A comforter is thicker, filled with materials like down or synthetic fibers, and primarily provides warmth and comfort, usually placed over a bedsheet. In contrast, a coverlet is thinner, often quilted, and serves as a decorative layer that provides light warmth, making it suitable for warmer climates or layering. Coverlets add texture and color to your bedding, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your bedroom.
