How to choose a comforter fill for your new embroidered duvet cover

You have just purchased or are thinking of purchasing a featherbed or comforter fill soon. A comforter or featherbed, essential element of this bedding set must be included in the purchase. How then can you choose the best comforter for you? As you have already noticed, there are many kinds and qualities of comforter fill on the market. For this reason, it can seem quite complex knowing which duvet cover fill best fits your needs if this is a first purchase of a duvet cover, a bedding article originally introduced here from Northern Europe

Room temperature
A few basic ideas understood beforehand will make matters clear. First off, you need to know the bedroom temperature you prefer for sleeping at night. Then you can find the corresponding duvet comforter or featherbed by weight and temperature using the table prepared for this purpose (See below).

Natural or synthetic
On the other hand, it is important to know that there are basically two types of comforter fills, natural (feather, down, or a mix of both) and synthetic (fiber). Natural fill, because of its composition, is soft, light and warm. It allows humidity to evaporate and contours itself to the body shape. On the other hand, synthetic fill is characterized by its machine wash capabilities, making maintenance easy as well as its hypoallergenic quality, which means it does not produce allergies.

Conditions of use
The choice of a synthetic or natural comforter or featherbed fill also depends on personal tastes, the age of the person, and conditions of use. The following weights of a comforter duvet fill generally on the market show different bedroom temperatures accordingly:



Room Temperature Comforter Weight
18 to 24 C / 64 to 75 F 125-220gr / 24-40 oz.
12 to 18 C / 54 to 65 F 275-350gr / 28-45 oz.
6 to 12 C / 43 to 54 F 400-700gr / 32-50 oz.
