When you decide to purchase a down comforter set, there are a number of things you will want to be familiar with. The fill power is the measurement of space that one ounce of down can fill. The amount of space that a down can fill will vary based on the product. The thread count is the number of threads that will be present in a square inch, and the baffle wall construction is the wall in the fabric that will allow the down to expand. To care for the down comforter, you will want to fluff it each day. When you shake it a few times, it will loft back up again. It is also important to make sure the down comforter is consistently aired.

Comforters come in open stitch (Karo-Step and Ring Stitch) where the filling can move closed stitch (baffle box sew-thru box stitches) fixing the filling into one small box and the Baffle Channel Tri-Wall construction a channel stitch with a triangular baffle wall to prevent unwanted shifting. The channel tri-wall the ultimate couple friendly comforter style is very beneficial as it allows the filling to be adjusted on one side for truly individual comfort. This is especially useful in summer or when one person is a warmer sleeper than the other. Baffles prevent cold spots and allow premium downs to loft up to their full potential. Less filling is required in a sew-thru stitch making these comforters better for summer or very warm bedrooms.

Even though it is possible for down comforters to be cleaned, it is best to protect it with what is called a duvet cover. If you decide to wash the down comforter, you will always want to have it dry cleaned. There are some models that can be cleaned in a standard washing machine, but you will want to follow the instructions of the manufacturer. Because of the cost involved with these products, down comforters will often come with warranty that may last for a number of years. A down comforter can also be purchased in a wide variety of different designs, and you can purchase a style which matches the look of your bedroom. Not only will they look beautiful on your bed, but they will be comfortable to sleep under, and they will keep you warm on cold nights.
