Laying down on a soft bed, with a clean set of bedding, after work is one of the best feelings in the world. It immediately melts off all of your stress and makes you feel warm and cozy. However, choosing the best down comforter and bedsheet is not the easiest task in the world. With lots of choices out there, it can get pretty confusing fast.
Here, we will discuss a few tips on choosing the right silk comforter for your bed, so you can make the most out of your rest days.
The Warmth of the Comforter
There are different types of comforters, and they come with different levels of fillings and thickness. If you live in a tropical country, make sure to buy a comforter that is not too thick, especially if you get warm easily. Consider how warm you want to get when you are sleeping, then base the thickness of the down comforter on that.
If you live in a country where it usually snows and the temperature is constantly at its lowest, then you might want to get the thickest down comforter there is. The thicker the comforter, the more comfortable you will get.
The Size of Your Bed
Like a bedsheet, down comforters come in different sizes. Do not just assume that all down comforters will fit your bed perfectly, as it most probably would not. Take measurements of your bed and find a comforter that will fit it perfectly. If you are trying to buy one online, then make sure to ask the supplier for the exact measurements.
You might want the comforter to drop down a couple of inches on your bed, though, so make sure to get one with a few extra inches on them.
Know Your Budget
Down comforters come in different price points, and most of the price points are based on the quality and thickness of the comforter. When a comforter is made of pure, white, hypoallergenic goose down, then you can expect it to be much more expensive than the regular ones. If you have sensitive skin though, then this type would be best for you.
However, if you are not that concerned with the quality of the down comforter and you are on a limited budget, then you might want to take a look at the ones with a lower grade of down that has a combination of feathers and down. If you have a budget for it, then go for the one with higher quality, as this will last way longer.
Use a Duvet
If you want to fully protect your down comforter, then make sure to use a duvet. This is like a huge pillowcase for your comforter and will help protect it at all costs. This will add some weight to the comforter, though, so make sure that your bed is sturdy enough to take it. This will protect your comforter from stains, wear, and tear, which is important since comforters are not exactly cheap.
Make sure to ask your supplier how to wash your comforter properly. You might have to get it washed at a laundry shop, especially if your comforter is a thick and huge one. Never try to fit a super thick one in your washing machine, as this might ruin both the comforter and the machine. Take proper measures when cleaning it to avoid tearing it out.
