We all enjoy comfort, so you are going to love what a cuddly, down comforter can do for you! Down has beautiful, insulating qualities and down bedding products come in numerous colors, qualities, weights and sizes for a nice, cool sleep, or to warm you on the coldest of winter nights. It has wonderful properties, as it is lightweight and comfortable. For one of these most sought-after duvets, duvet covers, come in many types and patterns. If you're looking for a down-filled comforter and some special duvet covers for your bed, you are best advised to comparison shop and get some basic information first. The first question you need to ask yourself is, "how warm are you when you sleep"? Many people prefer layers and layers of blankets with the electric blanket turned up high, and others are comfortable with just a light layer over them even on the coldest of winter nights. Remember that comforters come in different weights and fills, so don't purchase a heavy comforter if you live in a warm climate! Depending on the fabric, duvet covers can also add warmth.

Make sure that you take measurements of your bed, so it will be a perfect fit. If you have a queen size bed and end up purchasing a full queen quilt, it may be too small for your liking. Or, if you own a California king bed, then a king-size comforter may not be big enough for this. You may need to check custom made duvet covers for this size. If you purchase one that is too small, it won't drop down the sides of the bed and look very good for decoration purposes. Duvet covers also need to measure up accurately to look nice.

The quantity of down is measured by fill-power. The higher the fill power, the larger and denser the clusters of down are. The larger clusters provide superior insulation, and they last longer, breathe easier, and will outlast the smaller fragile down clusters, too. Compare the fill power among manufacturers because there is no need to buy more than necessary. Finding the right comforter and choosing from many duvet covers can be fun with a little knowledge before hand!
