Since experts recommend three sets of bedding for every bed in the house, with one set on the bed, one set in the wash and one set at the ready, a typical household can have a lot of bedding. One way to reduce the sheer volume of bedding is to invest in down or down alternative comforters for each bed. Contrary to public opinion, down is a breathable fill and a down comforter can be used all year round – its natural fill is ideal in almost any climate and serves to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer months.
With just one comforter on each bed you can then invest in a selection of duvet comforter covers; these are designed to protect the down comforter and prolong the useful life of the item but a duvet comforter cover is also decorative and serves as a slipcover. Much as you might change slipcovers in the spring and fall, you can change your duvet covers whenever the spirit moves you. Further, the duvet cover may be laundered as often as sheets or pillowcases whereas a down comforter should never be dry cleaned and should be laundered infrequently in order to protect and preserve the natural down properties.
Duvet comforter covers take up little more space than a sheet set so you may store a decent selection in a limited space; with a selection on hand you have the flexibility to use different duvets covers on beds in different rooms – this offers plenty of décor flexibility and the opportunity to mix and match. Many duvet comforter covers are sold with coordinating decorative pillow shams or other bedding accessories so that you may outfit a room with a complete bed ensemble.
