Quilts and Bedspreads

Should you buy comforters or bedspreads?

When looking for bedding to complement your bedroom or decorate your spare room, there are many options for the shopper to choose from. While it’s tempting to choose what matches your walls or complements your furniture, it’s also important to think about comfort. These days, the market offers choices of bed comforters and comforter sets, comforters, comforters, and of course the traditional quilt as well. What is the best for you and your home? Consider the following when making a decision.

First of all, when you think of comforters vs. quilts vs. duvets, think about weight. Duvets are relatively heavy and are better suited to cold weather areas. They are not particularly recommended for a southern summer. Duvets can be purchased in various thicknesses for whatever climate you live in. Quilts are often cool and require additional blankets during the winter.

Now when you think of comforters, duvets and bedspreads, think of the ease of making your bed. Duvets and bedspreads have the advantage of being easy to pick up and put pillows in place. On the other hand, the quilts have to be really made and take longer to fix properly each day. Wrinkles from a sheet that isn’t taut are noticeable and make it all the more important to make the bed correctly. That’s why quilts work well in a guest room where the bed doesn’t need to be made as often.

When it comes to décor, the three main forms of bedding offer great styles to choose from and even come in comforter sets, comforters, or bedspreads. This means the dust ruffle, pillowcases and sometimes even matching sheets and pillows are included. This makes decorating hassle free. While you will definitely find that king size comforter sets, as well as their comforter and bedspread counterparts, will be significantly more expensive than the smaller sizes, you will definitely save money when choosing the sets to decorate your rooms.

There is no right or wrong answer to what type of bedding you should choose. While bed comforters are the most popular choice, you need to choose the one that best suits your lifestyle. Feel the top and bottom of the comforter to make sure it’s comfortable to lay on top and under. Comfort is far more important than looks, but if you look hard enough you can find both.
