Buying A Comforter As A Gift?
With the holidays ever present I get asked all the time by folks online and in our stores - how to buy a comforter as a present for someone?
Well the simple recomendations - regardless of price point include:
- Always buy less on the warmth scale - its easy to layer on an additional blanket versus being too hot.
- Buy sizes which allow for easy duvet buying later on (oversized kings 108 x 98 versus european or higher end smaller sizes - ala 107 x 92).
- White is the best color - so down bedding makes a great gift - matches all decors from contemporary to traditional, etc.
- Comforters like pillows are a very personal choice - so a basic cambric weave or a basic pattern is better then a fancy or complicated looking pattern (although we love paisleys and basketweaves).
- Bigger is usually better - no one lines small ro skimpy comforters - go large - it can always drape on the bed (This is mainly for queen sizes - which in stores can run small - look for an oversized queen like 90 x 98 inches).
