Comforter sets and duvet cover
bedding tips

Comforter sets and the duvet cover in them vary in quality of design and construction. Better comforter sets have high quality filling and prevent the down from shifting using compartments that are of baffle box design meaning that the down comforter has internal three dimension fabric wall boxes allowing more thickness and comfort while maintaining even distribution of down within the boxes, this will minimize migration of fill for maximum comfort, others are stitched through which gives more puffiness in appearance but the loft is usually less. Premium duvet covers will have a higher thread count which can help keep the feathers out of your bed. Down is the best insulation, goose down is better than duck down because it can trap more air in the comforter.

The weight of down in a comforter will normally indicate the warmth the comforter set will have but remember loft is just as important. To keep the down inside minimum of 220 threads per square of 100% cotton is used in the construction of the comforter sets and the duvet cover. Cotton is also used to improve breath ability.

Comforter sets and duvet cover cleaning methods

There are different processes used to clean down in comforter sets for those with allergies. one called ALLERNON 21™ which puts the down through 12 washing cycles and then electronically cleans by a process called ozonization to remove any remaining microbial matter. Another process is called Hyperclean® which washes and rinses the down up to eight times. The duvet cover can usually be washed at home along your sheets. Using comforter sets protected by a duvet cover your comforter will only need to be cleaned every three to five years and you don't need a top sheet, blanket, or bedspread.
