Down Comforter Bedding
Down comforters equal good night sleep.Archive for October, 2008
This is the first entry in our weekly series about decorating with down. With rising fuel and utility costs, everyone is concerned about the cost of heating their homes. Turning down the heat can save your significantly over the course of the fall and winter seasons. Keep a down throw blanket around so you can always combat the cold.
While we all want to save money on home heating costs, if you get cold and sick you haven’t saved anything at all when you consider medical bills and lost time from work. Have a down throw handy so you can stay warm on the coldest days. Decorative down throw blankets look pretty displayed over chairs and sofas or on their own attractive blanket rack. When a chill sets in, you simply grab your down throw blanket and put it over your legs to feel toasty warm.
I have a colorful down throw blanket over the back of my living room sofa. When I watch television, sew or read at night, I put the down over my lap instead of heading for the thermostat. I also keep a down throw at my office in the reception area. The throw has a patchwork design and I hang it over a blanket rack. If I get cold at my desk, I throw the down over my legs. Nobody even sees it and I don’t run the risk of fires or burns from portable heaters.
Displaying a down throw blanket in your home and office is a decorative, practical idea.

We are revamping our blog to better answer our readers’ questions, curiosities and concerns about down. Once a week we will post “The Down Low On Down” to discuss down history, cleaning, general use and functions. Our other weekly column will be “Decorating With Down”, offering tips decorating your home with down comforters and other down accessories. Finally, we will do a blog every week called “Down Under Cover” featuring fun fictional and non-fictional stories about down.
Today “The Down Low On Down” will address ones of the most the basic questions – what IS down? The word down refers to the layer of fine feathers found under the tough, hard exterior feathers of a bird. Young birds are usually completely covered in down until their feathers mature. Down is used as a padding and an insulator in bedding, comforters, pillows and sleeping backs. Down jackets are a popular way to take down around town to stay warm. Usually goose down is used in the bedding and accessories you buy. Down offers superior insulation and warmth, which is particularly useful in light of rising oil prices. Simply turn down your thermostat and curl up with a down comforter or throw to keep toasty warm!

Like many people, I easily get bored with the decorating scheme in my bedroom. Bedding is the biggest target when I decide to redecorate, but my meager finances can often make it difficult. Which is why I invested in a duvet cover.
Duvet covers are decorative covers that go over a duvet (a comforter). Because I only swap out the duvet, I don’t have to buy an entirely new set of bedding every year. I can keep my sheets and pillowcases and other blankets if I so choose, and still have a whole new look to my room. And by saving money, I can redecorate even more often!

When the winter months arrive and your sheets are icy cold, the natural solution is to add more blankets and snuggle in nice and tight. But then, in the middle of the night, you’re much too hot. So you throw off the blankets, and the air is freezing! This frustrating dance between hot and cold could all be avoided with a look into down comforters.
Down comforters can come in a variety of down; goose, duck, synthetics and others being fairly common. Goose down is perhaps the most comfortable, and the most insulating. But at the same time, it’s lightweight and breathable, so you’ll never be too hot. Goose down comes in bigger, thicker clumps than duck down, and it doesn’t have an unpleasant smell like other forms of down can have. And make sure you’re buying down, and not feathers. Feathers are heavy and can run the risk of poking through the blanket into your skin.
When it comes to decorating your bedroom, you think of the things that everybody will see, like the carpet, the drapes, the walls, and the bedspread. You don’t spend as much time on the things that not everybody will see, like your bedding sheets. But just because you are the only one that is going to see them doesn’t mean that you can’t have a little style about your sheets like the rest of the room. With a variety of colors to choose from, you don’t have to get bored with the same color night after night. Be sure to check out the specials on bedding sheets as well. You’ll find something for every bed from twin to King size.
