Choose the Right Bedding

Choosing the right bedding can be tricky — there are so many options! From duvets to comforters to quilts, this guide is here to help you make the best choice for your bedding needs. Here's to sweeter dreams.

A duvet is actually a combination of two things: the duvet cover and the duvet insert. Think of the cover as a pocket-like sheet that encases your insert (or comforter), typically closing with buttons, snaps, ties, or a zipper.

There are many different types of duvet inserts — you can choose down-filled, synthetic alternatives, and even wool. We offer inserts that fit perfectly inside our duvet covers, which ensures a snug fit.

If you like swapping out your bedding colors and patterns frequently, multiple duvet covers offer a quick way to change the look of your bedroom. Given how easily duvet covers can be washed, they make great additions to guest and children's bedrooms. Make sure you check the care instructions for the insert, however, as some require dry cleaning.

Comforters are one-piece bedding options that provide warmth and style, but without the removable cover.

Because comforters may require dry cleaning or a larger washing machine, you may consider them for bedrooms that are only used occasionally, such as a guest room.

Quilts are beautiful, cozy additions to any space, providing an heirloom look to your bed. A quilt is traditionally a handmade blanket that consists of three parts that are stitched together:

- Top layer: This might look like a "patchwork" of different fabrics.
- Batting or wadding: This is a thin layer of padding that adds a bit of insulation, and is typically made of cotton or polyester.
- Bottom layer: Usually the same material as the top layer, this layer is constructed as one continuous sheet.

In warmer months, you can use a quilt as the bedspread, or add as an additional layer to a comforter. Do you love a layered look in your bedroom? Consider a quilt for an accent at the foot of the bed to complement your comforter or duvet. When choosing between a duvet and a quilt or comforter, don't forget to consider the care instructions — like comforters, quilts often require dry cleaning.
