Now that the winter chill is setting in, I started to feel under the weather. At the end of last week, my head was aching, my eyes were red and puffy and my throat felt sore. After taking all the Vitamin C and Tylenol I could, I decided the only way to get rid of that flu-like feeling was some rest.

Once the kids got home from school on Friday, I was free to lay down. Armed with a box of tissues and a tall glass of juice, I headed to my bedroom for some much-needed rest. I sank into my soft featherbed and wrapped myself in my puffy down comforter. The warmth and softness completely enveloped me. Within minutes, I was peacefully sleeping.

My husband brought me some chicken soup later that night. I woke up to sip some soup then settled right back into my comforting down bedding. For the past two days, I was cuddled by my down comforters as I nursed myself back to health.

On Sunday night, I finally emerged from the depths of my down bedding to take a shower and get the kids prepared for school. Spending a couple of days relaxing under my down comforter definitely did the trick.

Now that I’m back on my feet and faced the hectic pace of Monday, I’m thankful for the oasis my down bedding offers when I don’t feel good. If only there were more reasons to spend all day under the down blankets!

Although many people cover their down comforters with a colorful duvet, you can also keep your down white. Pale duvet covers and the beauty of the down comforter itself is a great beginning to a beautiful room.

There are a variety of ways to decorate with white. If you decide to keep your down bedding white, here are a few suggestions:

-Place a colorful down blanket over your down comforter. When you lounge in your bedroom, you can slip under the blanket without disturbing your bedding. It also adds a splash of color to your bed.

-Use various shades of white throughout your room for a dazzling effect. If you use a single shade of white, your room looks sterile rather than pristine. From bright white to ivory, an array of shades adds interest and depth to your bedroom décor.

-Mix up your bedroom décor by season. Keep all your down bedding white and add accessories to customize your room. Floral curtains and pastel throw pillows are perfect for spring and summer. Bold colored throw rugs and matching curtains add appeal during the fall and winter. When you have white bedding, you can add a rainbow of other colors without clashing.

White is a good beginning for literally thousands of different bedroom designs. Be adventurous and spice up your décor more often when you choose basic white down bedding.

Now that you have a decadent down comforter, how do you keep it clean and puffy? Whether you have a windowpane down comforter with sewn-through boxes or a single constructed down comforter, there are simple ways to keep them looking and feeling great.

Shake out your down blankets, comforters and pillows everyday to give them proper fullness. When you strip your bed, fluff your featherbed. You can also tumble dry your down bedding for five or so minutes to bring it back to life.

Protect your down comforter with a duvet and your down pillows with pillowcases. Refresh your bedding by frequently washing the duvet and pillowcases while you shake out and air your down items.

Gentle machine washing with mild dish detergent can be used to clean down bedding. Many down enthusiasts prefer to have their down bedding professionally dry cleaned. Either method will get your down bedding clean and refreshed.

Did you also know down comforters can last for decades? There is no set time for down spoilage. If you take good care of your down bedding, it will keep you warm and happy for a lifetime.

History of Beds

bed-blog-image.jpgAt the end of a long hard day, it sure does feel good to crawl into a soft comfortable bed for a good night’s sleep. But it hasn’t always been that way.  Some of the first beds were nothing more than shallow chests in which the bedding was placed.   This “luxury” bed was replaced with ropes or leather straps stretched across a frame that held the bedding which was made of whatever was handy - straw or wool most likely.

In Ancient Egypt, beds were used for more than just sleep; they were used as a place to eat meals and to entertain. ( Breakfast in bed anyone?) I don’t know about you, but I’m glad that I have the soft, comfortable bed that I sleep in today.  And what makes it even nicer is the Sleepy Down Comforter that covers it. You can have your very own Down comforter.  Maybe you prefer a Down blanket, Down pillow or one of the quality synthetic comforters, blankets or sheet sets. Whatever you want; it is all right there. See for yourself what real comfort is!

You get the idea, right. Well how do I choose my theme? You start with whatever you like the best. Remember if you have a roommate you’ll need to compromise on the theme. Just to give you a few ideas: skiing, surfing, dancing, football, music, hunting, fishing, TV stars and more. It may be colors that you prefer: blue, lavender, silver, green, gold, red, and the like.
