Material
Sun recommends looking for comforters made from easy-care material, such as one with a cotton cover and down alternative fill. “It is more difficult to wash your comforter due to its size, so choose an easy-care material that you will be able to wash at home versus the dry cleaners,” she explains.
Weight
“Given a comforter is an all-in-one topper vs. a duvet with a duvet cover that can be swapped for a lighter insert during summer, try to choose a good all-season medium weight,” Sun recommends. She adds that you can always add an extra blanket underneath during the winter and pair with sheets alone in warmer weather. For those who live in warmer climates, Sun recommends ditching the comforter set and instead investing in a lightweight quilt set, since it adds that additional layer without too much warmth.
Why Trust The Spruce?
Contributing writer Jessie Quinn has a bachelor’s degree in fashion journalism and covers everything from fashion to lifestyle for publications such as NYLON Magazine, Byrdie, Brides, and The Spruce. When researching the best comforter sets, Jessie used her fashion experience to source options that not only boast excellent style, but are also made from high-quality textiles. Additionally, she looked for comforter sets with great value, and considered how many pieces come in each set. Jessie also paid extra attention to the available sizes, and gave extra points to options that fit a variety of mattresses, including comforter sets for dorms. As for the comforter shell, Sun says the preferred material is a premium 100 percent long-staple cotton, since it’s breathable, machine-washable, and durable.
