You might have notice all kinds of different names when you go to BedBathandBeyond or any other store that sells bedding stuff.
Here’s an interesting explanation of what comforters and duvet covers really are:
A comforter is a bed covering that typically falls 3/4 of the way down the sides of your bed, slightly past the point where the mattress and boxspring meet. The size of your bed will determine the size of the comforter you will need to purchase.
Typically, for example, a Queen sized comforter will fit a Queen sized bed. However, it is very important that you measure from approximately the base of the box spring, left to right, across your bed to determine which size is right for you. Taking the time to measure your bed will save you a lot of hassle in the future.
Comforters are a heavier bed covering. Many comforters are made of a Cotton/Polyester blend. The thickness of a comforter really depends on the quilt pattern and fabric used for that particular comforter. A comforter made primarily with cotton, such as Thomasville’s Poetry ensemble, is a lighter, fluffier covering that creates a more “airy” feeling to your bedroom. A tighter quilt pattern, such as the comforter offered in Thomasville’s Interlude ensemble, will lie flatter on the bed. This polished cotton fabric, will create a soothing elegant addition to any bedroom. Fabric, style, weight and dimension are all important factors when choosing a comforter that’s right for you.
