Why Is a Down Comforter Better?

Warmth

• Providing superior warmth over a standard cotton-filled comforter, a down comforter allows the temperature in the room to be set cooler at night to save on energy costs.

Comfort

• As down comforters are designed to trap moisture, you are less likely to awaken all wrapped up in sweaty bed sheets.

Simplicity

• Down comforters are most commonly sold in one solid color such as ivory or white. While this may seem like a disadvantage to some, this makes it easier to launder in high temperatures.

Versatility

• Down comforters are designed to slip into a coverlet that can easily be removed and laundered. Many coverlets are reversible to offer design versatility. The pillow-like thickness of a down comforter looks great without having to use several blankets for the same visual effect.

Quality

• Though down comforters are often more expensive than their counterparts, a down comforter typically lasts for many years. Standard comforter designs may become outdated in appearance or start to look worn and require more frequent replacement.
