Cuddling down in the soft warmth of a clean and cozy bed at the end of a hard day has got to be one of life’s great pleasures. Our favorite kind of bedding isn’t called a comforter for nothing and, thankfully, there are loads of types of so each and every one of us can get a perfect bedtime snuggle.

When you first decide to buy a comforter the number of different types can seem bewildering. What’s the difference between down and synthetic fibers? Which will wear the best? Which are most comfortable, or warmest, or lightest. Help! What do I want?

Take it one step at a time and answer a few personal questions to start sorting the down from the fibers. If you have severe dust allergies, rule out 100% down and look at the other. Learn about the different fillings and weights, get up close and personal with a few in the store and compare how they feel. Then treat the purchase as an investment and go for the best you can afford.

No matter which type you finally decide upon, there are a couple of things to keep in mind; these cover most types. These aren’t the cheapest items to buy so a little thought before the purchase can save a few sleepless nights down the line.

Some types are in fact machine washable; however, it’s not advisable to wash them too often. Be sure to use a quality cover, changing it often, and your comforter will stay clean and fresh without the need for constant washing.

Some types are available in dual-weight versions, and may be used either as doubles in winter or singles in the summer months.

If you one of those who suffers from asthma or allergies, you can probably benefit from using types that are hypoallergenic, or that are filled with synthetic materials instead of natural down.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the various types of comforters that are widely available:

Down Sets: Natural feather down fillings are probably near the top of the popularity list when it comes to sought-after varieties. Down is very insulating, lightweight, and comes in a wide variety of mixed with feathers. The more down to feathers the more luxurious and soft the comforter.

Down Alternative: Ideal for people suffering from allergies, down alternative types have several different fillings. Ranging from the purely synthetic to all-natural silk, it’s largely a matter of personal taste as to which suits you best.

Kids Sets: You can give your child a special treat with a selection of her or his favorite film and fiction characters. From dancing Disney Princesses to high jinks on the oceans with those Pirates of the Caribbean, they’ll never be short of a bedtime adventure.

How to Remove Cat Hairs and Pet Stains From Your Comforter

December 14, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Articles

Here, you will find a few tips to remove pet hairs that seem to stick to your comforter like magnets. You can do a few things that will reduce the amount of hairs around your bedroom. Start with giving a bath to your pet on monthly bases and dry out the animal’s fur. It is important to know that you should use low heat on your dryer while drying the pet’s hairs. Otherwise, you might hurt your pet by burning the skin, which could be painful. Also, you must brush your pet dally to reduces the amount of hairs that will stick to your comforter. By performing the step above you will be amazed at the smaller amounts of hairs you will see around your bedroom.

Now that you have done your best to reduce the amount of pet hair, you can clean your comforter. There isn’t really an easy way to keep the pet hairs off the comforter. I would suggest that you get your comforter dry clean, and I would buy a comforter cover, or duvet cover to keep the hairs off. It’s much easier to change the duvet covers, or the comforters sets cover and wash it, instead of washing or dry cleaning the comforter a few times a month. Dry cleaning can be expensive if you have to do it often. Washing your comforter could be time consuming. Remember, comforters take forever to dry.

If your pet urinated on your comforter take it to the local laundry mat and wash it with a small amount of detergent. Spray the stain with any regular stain remover will help. Wash the comforter in warm water. Use detergent for delicates, and also an extra rinse cycle. The drying will take very long – a few hours depending on the size of the comforter. Put a few new tennis balls and a pair of socks while drying the comforter. This should speed up the drying process.

Do not try to clean up the satin at home. You will end up with a bigger mess then you started. Do not lay it flat if you have already tried cleaning it. The feathers will clump and dry that way. Follow the simple directions above and your comforter should be clean as new.

After all, you might want to keep your pet away from your bedroom. Create a new cozy place, just like your comforter, so your pet stays away from you bedding.
