How to Keep Cotton in Comforters From Bunching Up

When you release the bunches in your comforter, it makes the difference between lumpy and smooth bedding. It will also ensure that heat is dispersed uniformly throughout the comforter. Wear causes the filler in comforters to clump, which can lead to one side or end gaining more filler than the other, causing hot and cold spots. Regular care of your comforter prevents bunches, creating an even layer of poof and warmth. You can maintain the appearance and function of your cotton-filled comforter through simple fluffing techniques.

Dryer
3 tennis balls

Instructions

- 1
  Wash your cotton-filled comforter according to care instructions. Set your dryer to a low heat setting, and place the comforter in it. Add three tennis balls. The tennis balls move against the comforter during the drying process, punching bunches out.

  Spread the comforter out on your bed. Stand at the foot-board of your bed, holding the bottom of the comforter. Bring the comforter edge up to eye level and pull it down to the bed in a fast motion to disperse bunches. Repeat the process until the cotton filler evens out. Fluff your comforter daily.
