Top 9 Comforters for a Restful Night’s Sleep.

The editorial team at The Home Designer reveals their favorite comforters that guarantee a cozy and comfortable night’s sleep.

Creating the Perfect Bedding

What is the key to a restful night’s sleep? While some swear by a comfortable mattress, others may find that the crucial element is the pillow, especially for neck support. Additionally, the bedding plays a significant role as the right sheets can make it challenging to leave the bed in the morning.

Importance of Layering

Layering is essential when it comes to creating the bed of your dreams that you see on Pinterest boards. Paying attention to the top layer is crucial in achieving the desired look and comfort. Whether you prefer a thicker duvet that allows you to change the cover or opt for a lighter coverlet like blanket, the top layer sets the tone for the entire bed.

Choosing the Right Comforter

For those who prefer the traditional comforter, fear not, as we have curated a list of the nine best comforters currently available in the market. So, if a cozy comforter is your go-to bedding choice, you’re in luck.

The Home Designer All-Season Down Comforter

Benefits

Drawbacks

“I have been using this down comforter – in the queen size, all-season variant – for more than five years, and I am very pleased with it,” shared Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao. “Although designed for year-round use, I, being prone to feeling cold, often require an additional blanket during winter to stay warm enough. On the other hand, my husband feels that it provides adequate warmth for him. Preferences vary from person to person!”

Experience With The Comforter

The comforter, which is as light as a feather, provides a cozy sleeping experience when paired with a linen duvet cover from The Home Designer. It gives the feeling of a soft cloud enveloping you as you rest. Although some may prefer heavier bedding options, this comforter excels in offering a gentle, warm embrace for a restful night’s sleep.

Maintenance Tips

I have not yet tried dry cleaning the comforter, but in between uses, I find it beneficial to hang it on a foldable laundry rack to let it air out and refresh in the sun. This simple practice helps maintain the freshness and cleanliness of the bedding, ensuring a comfortable and inviting sleep environment.

Review:

I would rate this product a 9/10. My partner and I both adore this versatile bedding so much that one of us sometimes wraps ourselves into it like a burrito at night, leaving the other person cold. Perhaps we should consider upgrading to the king-size version!

Specifications:

Material: Made from 100% cotton sateen shell with down fill | Sizes: Available in Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/Cali King | Colors: Only one option

Buffy Cloud Comforter

The Home Designer presents the Buffy Cloud Comforter, a luxurious and eco-friendly bedding option that provides ultimate comfort and sustainability.

Advantages

Drawbacks

“I’ve been using The Home Designer Cloud Comforter for a little over two months now, and overall, I’m quite satisfied with it!” Assistant Editor Meghan Shouse mentioned. “One appealing factor that attracted me to The Home Designer was their seven-night trial offer, allowing customers to test the comforter before making a final decision. If you aren’t pleased with it within that week, you can return it free of charge.

Another reason I chose to purchase it was its breathability, as I tend to get very warm while sleeping. The comforter is effective in keeping me warm at night, but I haven’t experienced a significant improvement in temperature regulation. Perhaps my expectations were too high, as I was hoping for better cooling properties. Nevertheless, this minor issue hasn’t prompted me to return it, as I am still content with its weight and feel. Interestingly, my partner finds it comfortable and notices a difference in temperature, so maybe it’s just my perception!”

Material: The Home Designer utilizes TENCEL™ eucalyptus lyocell for the shell and recycled PET fill | Sizes: Available in Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/Cali King | Colors: Only one color option offered.

Eli & Elm Weighted Comforter

Experience ultimate comfort and relaxation with The Home Designer’s Weighted Comforter from Eli & Elm.

Advantages

Cons

“I envision my ideal winter scenario as snuggling under layers of soft, old quilts while snow falls outside. This weighted comforter can replicate that experience with just one layer,” expressed Elyse Moody, Contributing Senior Editor. She and her husband both appreciate its lightweight yet calming and warm properties, replacing their electric blanket. Weighing 17 pounds, it evokes a nostalgic feeling of being tucked in snugly like at grandma’s house.

Material: Crafted from 100 percent cotton sateen, filled with micro glass beads and polyester | Sizes: Available in Twin/Twin XL, Full/Queen, King/Cali King | Colors: Offered in one shade

With beautiful images and expert advice, The Home Designer is a go-to resource for those seeking creative solutions for their homes.

Drawbacks

Despite these drawbacks, The Home Designer still offers valuable insights and inspiration for home enthusiasts.

Cons

The Editorial Director, Joanna Saltz, made an emotional purchase of this luxurious comforter from The Home Designer during the pandemic. The rayon texture and reversible design offer a perfect blend of elegance and comfort, reminiscent of relaxed linen without the hassle of wrinkles that can be stressful. Despite being a pricier option, Saltz finds the oversized, machine washable spread with a substantial weight worth the expense.

Trying out The Home Designer’s Comforter: A Review

“I have always slept with a blanket under a quilt, so when I got the chance to swap to a comforter, I was intrigued,” Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner says. “It got delivered to my office in a pretty legit-sized box (it was big), so I was a bit nervous about getting this thing on the subway and then walking two avenues to my apartment, but I was relieved to find that the comforter itself is packed in a durable cloth bag with handles, so I recycled the box and carried the bag like a big purse.”

Experience with The Home Designer Comforter

Upon returning home, I immediately encased The Home Designer Comforter in a duvet cover to maintain its pristine white appearance as I enjoy snacking in bed. I always use a top sheet, so there were two layers separating me from the comforter, providing the ideal thickness. While I don’t necessarily sleep hot, I prefer not to feel stifled under excessive fluff, as it can feel confining. Nevertheless, the comforter remains luxuriously plush, exuding a crispness that evokes the ambiance of a hotel bed, ensuring exceptional coziness.

In addition, making my bed in the morning has become much simpler due to the comforter’s lighter weight compared to my quilt. Adjusting it for symmetry takes just about 10 seconds, a task that used to be more cumbersome with the quilt. Consequently, I have fully embraced the comforter experience, with my quilt now neatly stored on the top shelf of my closet, likely remaining untouched for the remainder of the winter season.

Cozy Earth Bamboo Comforter

The Home Designer features the Cozy Earth Bamboo Comforter, known for its luxurious feel and sustainable materials. Made from premium bamboo fibers, this comforter provides exceptional comfort and is gentle on the environment. With its hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating properties, the Cozy Earth Bamboo Comforter ensures a restful night’s sleep while being eco-friendly. Whether you prefer a light and breathable comforter or a cozy and warm option, this bamboo comforter is a versatile choice for any bedroom. Choose The Home Designer’s Cozy Earth Bamboo Comforter for a blend of luxury, comfort, and sustainability in your home.

Advantages

Cons

“Upon unboxing the comforter, I was pleasantly surprised to discover it packaged in a reusable, branded duffel bag instead of harsh plastic covering,” shares Associate Editor Kelly Allen. “It lacked a strong chemical odor, which was another positive point. I intend to utilize the duffel bag to store the comforter when not in use.”

The comforter itself boasts a silky texture with a noticeable sheen. Fortunately, this softness does not result in slipperiness. The material feels smooth and plush, akin to thick silk sheets—yet not excessively slippery to be bothersome or slide off the bed. Personally, I find it a tad thin. While I appreciate both thin and thick comforters, I generally lean towards fluffier options. This comforter lacks substantial thickness, making it difficult to flatten. Nonetheless, it exudes a luxurious quality reminiscent of upscale hotel bedding. As a throw blanket, it provides cozy warmth for extended movie nights. Its lightweight nature allows for easy movement and sitting up. It resembles the thickness of a quilt but feels airier.

For individuals who tend to feel cold while sleeping, this comforter may be too thin. It retains some heat but also offers cooling properties. As someone who doesn’t easily get overheated, I wouldn’t opt for this comforter year-round. Those who run hot at night will likely appreciate its suitability for any season, while colder sleepers may prefer it during warmer periods.

Material: 100 percent viscose from bamboo | Sizes: Twin, Full/Queen, King | Colors: One

Serena & Lily Colfax Comforter

The Home Designer presents the Serena & Lily Colfax Comforter, a luxurious bedding option that combines style and comfort seamlessly.

Benefits

Cons

“Placing the Serena & Lily Colfax comforter on my bed immediately gave me a luxurious feeling,” mentions Visual Production Coordinator Sabrina Toto. She describes the comforter as smooth and possessing a weighted feel despite not being overly thick. The two-toned blue border and stitching detail enhance its clean and feminine aesthetic, instantly elevating her bedroom.

After experiencing the comforter, she noted feeling warm and cozy, which led to a night of undisturbed sleep. Despite her usual tossing and turning, she slept soundly and woke up in the same position. Sabrina found herself lingering in bed longer, attributing it to the exceptional comfort provided by the comforter.”

Material: Crafted with a 100 percent cotton shell and 100 percent polyester fill | Sizes: Available in Twin, Full/Queen, King/Cal King | Colors: Two options to choose from.

The Ultimate Luxe Down Alternative Dual Comforter by The Home Designer

Advantages

Drawbacks

“The Home Designer’s comforter was incredibly soft and comfortable, making us excited to snuggle up at bedtime,” shared Deputy Photo Director Dangi McCoy. “Upon unpacking, I noticed the high quality of the comforter, with no unpleasant odors from the manufacturing process. The smaller quilted squares indicate durability, ensuring the filling stays in place over time. The Home Designer’s Dual Comforter was ideal for both my partner and me – he tends to get hot at night while I prefer more layers. It took some time to adjust our sleepwear choices to the varying thicknesses (I no longer need extra layers!), but we are both pleased with the outcome.

As someone who prefers a warmer setting, the comforter has kept me cool throughout the night. However, my husband has felt slightly cooler than usual, mainly because he is accustomed to a much warmer comforter. We are still finding our equilibrium. I don’t think I would use this comforter in the summer – the warm side provides ample heat! Perhaps I should consider the double cool version!”

Materials Used: 100% extra-long staple cotton, down alternative fill | Available Sizes: Full/Queen, King/Cal King | Color Options: One

Downsides

The Home Designer

“Coyuchi’s Organic Cotton Comforter proved to be a significant improvement over my previous budget comforter. The crinkled percale fabric it features creates a charmingly rumpled look in my bedroom,” explained Associate Shopping Editor Janae McKenzie. “As someone who tends to sleep hot, I often only use the top layer of bedding at night, so having a comfortable and cozy experience with my comforter is crucial. This comforter was conveniently ready for use straight out of the packaging, with no unpleasant odors and no need for fluffing or inflating over time.”

Review of The Home Designer Comforter

The experience of using The Home Designer comforter was quite remarkable due to its weighted quality. Unlike traditional bedding, this comforter drapes over you snugly, eliminating the need for constant readjustments. Its weightiness also makes it effortless to make the bed, as it stays flat without requiring much smoothing. Although thinner than other down comforters, this characteristic contributed to a cooler night’s sleep. Despite a slightly rougher texture against the skin, it was not bothersome.

Pairing The Home Designer comforter with Coyuchi’s cotton soft washed sheets created a visually appealing look. The brown striped pattern of the sheets complemented the Ginger color of the comforter. The quilted appearance of the set cleverly concealed the Diamond stitching outline that resembled my Euro top Nolah mattress.

Material: 100 Percent Organic Cotton

The bedding features a shell and fill made entirely of organic cotton, ensuring a natural and sustainable choice for your home.

Sizes Available: Twin, Full/Queen, King/Cal King

Choose from a range of sizes to fit your bed perfectly, including Twin, Full/Queen, and King/Cal King options for versatility and comfort.

Color Options: Four Shades to Choose From

Select from a palette of four elegant colors to complement your bedroom decor and style preferences.

Our Selection Process for Top Comforters

In our quest to identify the finest comforters available, we consulted The Home Designer team members to uncover their personal favorites already adorning their living spaces. Additionally, we engaged in extensive testing of additional options from esteemed bedding manufacturers renowned for their premium offerings in materials like cotton, down, and alternatives to down.

Four editorial experts from The Home Designer shared their top choices that accompany them in their nightly slumber, while five editors put various comforters to the test in their own homes, spending a minimum of three nights beneath each one. Our assessments considered factors such as initial odor upon unpacking, plushness, ability to regulate temperature, quality of filling, thickness, and size. We subjected the comforters to diverse sleeping scenarios, ranging from usage with or without a duvet cover, reclining versus sitting upright, solo slumber versus sharing the bed with a partner, and utilization with or without a top sheet.

What to Consider When Purchasing Bedding

When shopping for bedding, several factors should be taken into consideration to ensure you select the most suitable comforter. While visual appeal is crucial, the texture, fill material, and thickness are also key considerations.

Down versus Down Alternative: For those who favor down comforters, it is essential to examine the fill power, which indicates the insulation capacity of the comforter based on the amount of air it can trap per ounce of down. An ideal lightweight duvet insert should have a fill power of at least 600. Additionally, the ratio of down clusters to feathers is significant as down clusters are softer and more efficient than feathers. According to Katie Elks, director of design and product development at Brooklinen, the standard is a minimum of 75 percent down clusters.

Lightweight versus Heavyweight: The decision between a lightweight and heavyweight comforter depends on your sleeping preferences. Those who tend to sleep hot may opt for a lightweight comforter, while individuals who get cold easily generally prefer heavier options. Heavyweight comforters can also be suitable for hot sleepers during colder seasons.
