Bed comforters are ideal
bed covers for superior warmth and comfort in temperate climates.
Usually made with a cotton shell and filled with synthetic material
or a combination of down and feathers, these versatile bed covers
are both stylish and luxurious.
Bed comforters often make use of the insulating power of down, soft
fine feathers that grow on the breasts of ducks and geese. A bed
comforter's "fill power" is the amount of space an ounce of down
takes up in cubic inches. The higher the "fill power" the warmer it
will be. A goose down comforter would have a "fill power" of between
500 and 650. For those who are allergic to down, look for bed
comforters containing Primaloft, a synthetic product with nearly the
same insulating power of true down.
Bed comforters can be purchased separately or as part of bed in a
bag sets, comforter sets or complete bedding ensembles. Comforter
sets typically come with a comforter, pillow shams and a bedskirt,
while bed in a bag sets include a comforter, fitted sheet, flat
sheet and pillowcases. The online selection of bed comforters is
staggering, with selections to fit any budget.
