Need to buy a comforter. Suggestions?

Sooner — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 19:45:55 GMT

I need to buy a medium-weight comforter. I haven't bought one in years! Any suggestions? Down fill? Synthetic fill?

Any information will be appreciated!

Hi. I bought my comforter at Ikea. And I buy my duvet covers from them as well.

My only suggestion is to check the measurements to make sure it will work for you. I haven't been able to find one that works for my current mattresses, and we're currently considering getting new ones, so no need in buying a new one now until I know how long/wide it would need to be. For me, width seems to be the main problem in a comforter since I want it wide enough to cover wher the mattress meets the box springs.

I also looked at bedspreads thinking they would work better, but not so.

@Meowingkitty I like the CS. What comforters have you had from them? Down? Poly fill? Inquiring minds want to know!

I like the Organic Wool Comforter Magnolia Organics has posted on her site. I thought about buying it but keep passing on it. I feel it would be too hot for me? I would wait for a sale.

Pacific Coast Feather has down comforters. They use Hyperclean to wash & rinse the feathers 8 times or more.

I get the Voile Quilt. I don't need anything heavy so no comforters or anything heavy because I live in Arizona. I need the lightest weight I can find. Lots of colors.

We use a down blanket. Not as heavy or filled as a comforter and no need for a duvet. You just put the whole thing in the washing machine. We find it breathes well and works for all seasons...

@Icegoddess

I understand the width issue with wanting a king sized down comforter to go past the juncture of bed springs and mattress.

My solution: I found a silky dust ruffle ( king size ) and cut the three sides leaving a small white strip of fabric. Then I sewed these sections to the sides of the comforter.

It always looks great. The entire " creation " gets washed and air dried ( hangs over a poly covered pipe in the basement ). The dust ruffle strips never need an iron....great fabric.

It should be said: I absolutely hate sewing but this is an easy project even for me !

Good Luck !

I'm a fan of down blankets too. Summer one blanket, winter two. I recently purchased the one you posted, love it.

@Sooner I purchased one from kohls a couple months ago that so far has been great! I did buy a king for our queen bed so there's plenty on the sides. It was one of their " Big Ones" and it can be machine washed as dry clean was a deal breaker for me.

@Icegoddess I always buy a king for my queen mattress so there's plenty overhang. I can't stand it when the sides are short. So many brands are skimpy.

@Icegoddess Whoops just saw this, you have a king. That's a tough one....

Off topic: I am aware that OVESTOCK has purchased Bed Bath & Beyond BUT when I search for Overstock.com the address takes me to BBB...so I am wondering if Overstock no longer exists, anyone know?

Nothing is warmer and lightweight than down.

I'm not having luck finding anything to replace a quilt. I've typed words like comforter, quilt, duvet, coverlet, bedspread and down blanket into the search bar. Prices are high and nothing appeals to me.
