How To Pick The Right Comforter Blanket

We spend a third of our lives sleeping and sometimes, it still doesn’t feel enough. When it comes to your relaxation and comfort, you want the best. From your mattress and pillows to a nice comfy blanket you can snuggle under at night. Everything makes a difference to our sleep. Comforter blankets are available in so many varieties nowadays, trying to make the right purchase can become an overwhelming process. So here are a few things you should keep in mind to buy the right comforter blanket that caters to your needs:

Choose the Right Material

Comforters come in a variety of materials that are dependent on how much warmth it needs to provide. Cotton comforter blankets are a good choice for places with mild winters. They are also a natural fabric that is extremely comfortable for the skin. Bella Casa offers a range of comforter blankets. Wool is comparatively much heavier and provides more warmth than cotton. It is ideal for regions that have severe winters. Synthetic fabrics that are used in blankets also provide lots of warmth, but they can cause irritation to the skin due to their chemical contents. 

Choose the Right Size

Before buying your comforters you must measure the dimensions of your bed, along with the mattress and bedsheet to make sure you buy the right size. Comforter sizes can vary from queen size comforters and king size comforters. So make sure you look at the measurements of the comforter first and make sure it matches your mattress before buying it. Additionally, people believe that bigger comforters give the room a more luxurious feel. On the practical side, having a comforter that covers the sides of your bed as well does a better job of keeping you warm at night. If you buy a blanket that is exactly fitted to your bed, it will rise up and the cold air can easily come through the sides. A bigger comforter is more convenient to share between couples sleeping on the beds and ensures that each person gets enough warmth without having to fight for the blanket.

The Right Thread Count

The thread count of the blanket reveals its quality. Usually, a higher thread count indicates higher quality and shows that it’s more refined. Thread counts however are dependant on the material. A blanket made with sateen having a higher thread count will be very soft. A cotton comforter blanket having a high thread count from 200-600 is considered extremely good in its quality. Thread counts are important to consider before buying a comforter, however, it is not the most important. The quality of the cotton being used and the yarns that the sheets are made of, also play a huge role. Hence it is important not to fall for any gimmicks related to high thread counts. 

Choose the Right Construction

Comforters are designed and constructed in different ways to meet different needs. It refers to how the inside of the comforter is designed. Generally there are two ways they are constructed. The two main ways they are constructed is a sewn-through construction and baffle box construction. The sewn-through construction is flatter has a lightweight look and feel. It is ideal for people who don’t sleep in very cold temperatures. The baffle box construction is more full, as the material is distributed throughout. These blankets are ideal for colder temperatures. The Channel construction is relatively less common. It features parallel channels of the fill material. The material inside can shift from one half to another. Hence for couples where one partner prefers more warmth than the other, it could be very beneficial.

Match the Colours to Your Room

Comforters can come in some beautiful shades and designs. However, just because you like the design and colour of one blanket doesn’t mean you have to buy it! Try to imagine the blanket in the context of your bedroom. Would a purple coloured comforter look nice in the master bedroom filled with warm colours? No! However, it could look better in the kids’ room, filled with colourful designs all around. Bella Casa has a range of comforters that come in a variety of colours and designs that will suit your bedroom. Hence make sure that your comforter will match the colour schemes in your room before buying it.

Comforter blankets play a huge role in making sure we get a good night’s sleep. With these tips in mind, you will be able to buy the perfect comforter for your bedroom.
