Long before you can swaddle yourself up in a cozy new comforter, you've got a few questions to consider. Should you go for a down or synthetic comforter? What are the comforter filling types, and should you choose a King or a California King size? If you're feeling the slightest bit overwhelmed, just consult the comforter buying guide below. Then you'll be well on your way to choosing the ideal comforter for you! What Is a Comforter?![]()
Why Choose a Comforter?![]()
What Does “Fit” Mean? Which Size Comforter Should I Buy?![]()
What Do Terms Like "Square Corner" and "Rounded Corner" Mean?These refer to the corners located on either end of the comforter’s foot panel. Two main styles called “square” and “rounded” commonly appear on Touch of Class comforters. Which one you choose all depends on the sort of look you're going for. ![]()
What Kinds of Fill Do Comforters Have? Which Should I Choose?Comforters can be filled with natural fibers (plant or animal-based) or with manufactured fibers (created by people). What you decide on depends heavily on the temperature of your bedroom. ![]()
What Does It Mean by the “Underside," “Back(ing)," or “Reverse” of a Comforter?![]() All of these terms refer to the comforter lining. The back (or the lining) is usually “color-matched.” This means the lining can be a coordinating print or color on different fabric. Many Touch of Class comforters are backed in cotton, polyester, or blends of the two. Why Are the King and California King Sizes the Same with Some Comforters?![]() A King-size mattress is 4 inches shorter but 4 inches wider than a standard California King. A California King (sometimes called a “Western King”) is 4 inches longer but 4 inches narrower than a standard King. The dimensions of each are very similar, just switched around. This is why some vendors will offer California King and King comforters with the same dimensions. They will, in fact, fit both. Just keep in mind that the included bedskirts are not designed to fit both a California King and a King-sized box spring. A California King bedskirt will only fit a California King box spring, just as a King bedskirt will only fit a King box spring. Most Touch of Class brand comforter sets do have a comforter made at California King dimensions which differ from King dimensions. Choose the size that corresponds to your mattress size. |
