The Most Comfortable Comfortor Hands DOWN

Mostly everyone loves to sleep. When you’re having a rough day at work, it’s very easy to look forward to finally relaxing in your bed that night and getting a good night of sleep. Imagine being the most comfortable you’ve ever been. What do you picture in your mind? A down comfortor is sure to be listed in your mind, likely at the top of the list. If not, why? Once you’ve slept with a down comfortor it’s impossible to go back to boring bedspreads.

One of the important things to keep in mind when shopping for a new down comfortor is the fill power. As with any product, you’ll find there are cheapo generic alternatives. This may be one of those times you should splurge a little bit and make sure you get the perfect comfortor. Fill power determines the quality of down. The smaller the fill, the lighter the comfortor. Small fill comfortors are perfect for the warmer seasons. Of course, the larger the fill, the warmer the comforter. In my opinion, down comfortors are great in any season. I have one that I use all year round. In the winter it keeps me warm, and in the summer it has a cooling effect.

Also, when scrutinizing the label of your potential new comfortor, be quick to make sure that the comfortor is made of actual goose down, and not feathers. Feathers are very inexpensive, so a ton of companies make their comfortors filled with feathers. Sometimes the label will even say it’s made of a mixture of goose and feathers, but it’s best to stick with goose down. An easy way to tell is to take some of the blanket in your hand and squeeze. If you feel the sharp quills, then you’ve got feathers, and you should keep shopping.

Most of the comfortors are white, with no cover. These are called duvets. If you want a particular color or pattern, you’ll need a duvet cover. Most stores have some in stock with the rest of the bedding, but there may not be a big selection. Then again, there’s always the internet to find exactly what you’re looking for. Since you’re on such a roll, purchase a duvet cover with a high thread count. You will be less likely to find feathers sneaking out and finding a spot in your bedroom. Most duvet covers come with 2 pillow cases, too. Find a sheet set to go with your comfortor and you’re set! Personally, I have an earthtone striped sheet set with a beige duvet cover. It’s very neutral, modern, and gives off a feel good vibe.

Last, a few words on how to take care of your new comfortable comfortor. They are dry-cleanable, but the Down Factory, located in Hawaii, suggests washing your comfortor once a year using hot water.

Well, that’s it! Good luck on your shopping mission. Good night, and sleep tight!
