Best Material for Comforters

Posted by John Dawkins on 16th Jan 2020

Comforters don’t just come in different styles, colors, and sizes; they are also available in different materials. These materials of course, differ from one another in terms of comfort, durability, ability to trap heat, texture, feel, etc. With that said, finding the best comforter means knowing the right material for you, as the “best fabric” tend to be a personal preference.

Material choices range from natural to synthetic, and there are many materials to choose from. The following are considered the “most comfortable” fabrics for comforters.

Cotton

Cotton is the most widely used fiber in the world, and rightfully so, as it is also deemed as the most comfortable material for clothes and comforters. Cotton is soft and smooth to touch, absorbs moisture and sweat easily, and helps your body cool and comfy, making it an incredibly cozy material to sleep on.

However, not all comforters that use cotton are made the same. Many brands also inflate their thread count up to three times the actual number and claim their products are the best in the market, when the truth it, they’re cheap and scratchy. If you want the comfiest cotton, then you need to do your homework to search for the high quality ones.

Wool

Wool is perfect for anyone looking for a warm and cozy comforter. Wool’s unique texture gives it the excellent ability to retain body heat; the thick tangled fabric is ideal for cold climates.

Wool comforters however, are both expensive and hard to find. Meaning, there’s not a lot of options out there when it comes to color, style, and size that you want. Also, they’re not the most comfortable and practical choice come summer time.

Silk

When it comes to soft luxury feel, silk is at the top of the list. As a matter of fact, there aren’t many fabrics that can come close to what silk brings to the table (or in this case, bed). With that said, silk is easily one of the best materials out there for comforter fabrics.

Silk also comes with a lot of benefits. For instance, the texture of silk is better for the skin, especially when you’re battling acne. Its texture causes less friction on skin, which means less damage and irritation. Research shows people who use silk and silk-like pillowcases showed reduction in pimples compared to those who use cotton covers. The same goes for the hair – silk helps minimize hair fall.

Though highly breathable, silk is also 100% hypoallergenic. Thus, anyone who struggles with annoying allergies can breathe and sleep comfortably with silk comforters.

Silk can absorb up to a third of its weight in moisture alone, and still allow excess heat to escape. This means excess moisture will evaporate before it can cause any discomfort.

Aside from being expensive however, silk however, is not the most durable fabric. This means it needs extra care when washing.

Conclusion

There are many fabric choices in the market that are used for making comforters. But the three above are among the top choices you have, especially if you want comfort, quality, and durability. Make sure you weigh the pro’s and con’s of each option so you can make the most of your choices.
