Tips When Picking Comforter Sets For Your Home

comforter sets

You can get luxurious comforter sets for more than $500 with 400+ thread count and Hungarian goose down or you can buy basic $40 comforters from a department store that'll do the job. From Croscill bedding and Tommy Hilfiger bedding to Dan River and Thomasville, there are many known brand names that are reliable and will stand up to the challenge of your washing machine. You can get reversible blankets to change the look of your room with the flip of the covers and there is bedding made to protect people with allergies. Choosing a set can be overwhelming, but here are a few tips to help you get started.

For those of you who are looking for a cheap comforter set or high-quality products at a deep online discount, be sure to check out www.shopzilla.com or www.overstock.com. You can find discount bedding from Linens N Things, Touch of Class, Sears and JC Penney for as much as 40% off. You'll find high-quality brand names like Croscill bedding, Pembroke, Laura Ashley, Tommy Hilfiger, Waverly and Lands' End. You can obtain such good deals online because manufacturers often over-produce or come out with new lines, so the older products get dispersed to overstock merchants. If you have the time and know what you're looking for, then this is a great way to go! You may want to scope these products out in stores. Feel them, give them the once over and read the specifications and then return to the websites and buy.

Some comforter sets pride themselves on being made of organic, hypo-allergenic materials. The Allergy Buyers Club recently rated the best hypo-allergenic down blankets. The "Monarch Hypodown," retailing at $306, comes with 300-count Egyptian cotton sateen sheets and 80% Hungarian goose down, 20% syriaca (milkweed fiber) clusters and hypo-allergenic fill. The "Hyperclean Down" is good for allergy sufferers who crave warmth. With a 15-year limited warranty and a 30-day allergy-free warranty, this $300-range product was tested, and it is bedding that won't disappoint! On the high end of the spectrum, you could pay as much as $889 for the "Hypodown Empress" or $8,999.95 for the Allergy Buyers Club winner, the "Eiderdown Comforter," which is the finest and most rare Icelandic duck down luxury bedding.

Once you have decided on your choice of the available comforter sets, you'll notice your room has a whole new vibe. There are other things you can do to change the feel of your space as well. For instance, if you remove the box spring, your room will feel more intimate and romantic. You can also move large furniture against the walls and put a canopy on your bed for old world romanticism. Blues and greens are good tranquil colors, but pale gray, taupe and lavender are gaining popularity as well. The lighter the color, the larger the room seems. If you have a few shorter walls, then try painting them lighter than the longer walls to make the room seem larger. Lighting, mirrors, art and plant-life can also change your room's atmosphere, so keep those design details in mind too. Once you have your bedding accessories, you'll find everything else just sort of comes together.
