Fabric Comforters
- A baffled comforter is one that has a vertical wall of fabric joining the upper and lower portions of the shell.
- A comforter set is typically sold in various bed sizings and in a variety of fabrics and textiles.
- An important factor in having a quality down comforter is the type of fabric used in addition to the comforters construction.
- The tighter weave of high thread count fabrics also acts as a natural "down barrier," keeping any quills from poking through the fabric of a down comforter.
- how much air can pass through a fabric is a measure of "downproofness", so naturally higher thread counts are better.
- In silk comforters, the silk fiber layers are stacked together and sealed within silk or cotton fabrics.
- Unlike a baffle, there is not a vertical wall of fabric joining the upper and lower portions of the shell in a sewn through comforter.
- Baffle wall channels are narrow strips of fabric sewn between the top and bottom covers that eliminate cold spots and keeps the down spread evenly throughout the comforter.
- Comforter drying tip: Do not use dryer sheets or fabric softener when washing a goose down comforter because they can leave a sticky residue on the down and might cause it to become clumpy.
- Though some ticking may vary slightly, the most important element of choosing a fabric is thread count, which refers to the number of threads sewn per inch in a particular fabric.
- High thread count fabrics ensure no filling escapes the comforter.
- Comforter Fact: To measure thread count, you would count the number of threads contained in one square inch of fabric, so the finer the threads, the higher the count will be.
- The purpose of the outside fabric (or ticking) on down comforters is to essentially keep the down inside the comforter, where it belongs.
- Bed comforters are typically from polyester, cotton, or a blend of other fabrics.
- Washing Tips for down comforters: Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
