Comforters and down
A comforter, generally one filled with down, is one of the most
popular choices because it is light weight and also incredibly warm.
It is possible to have warmth without weight, and you will still
never feel too cold while sleeping. Many different kinds of down are
available. There are several variations in the quality of down that
are available. The least expensive
comforters are filled
with a combination of down and feathers, while just goose down is
the most expensive fill. Be sure to check the label for the fill
power. This number will tell you how many ounces of down are in the
comforter so you can determine how warm the comforter will be. You
will also be able to choose the baffle pattern you prefer. The more
tightly the feathers are held together, the warmer the comforter
will be because the feathers will not all fall to the end of the
comforter leaving empty places.
Fleece: nature's answer to synthetic materials!
You can have the same comforting feeling you did when you were a
child when you snuggle up to a
fleece blanket. Fleece
throws are fun to have when at home. You can drape them over the
back of your couch or at the end of your bed for extra warmth at
night. There are other uses people get our of their fleece blankets
like covering end tables and making throw pillows or travel pillows.
There are a wide variety of great craft projects that utilize this
versatile fabric, including some that don't require sewing. The
fleece material is great for just about any project.
How the rating of comforters is determined
The rating of comforters
is determined by the number of down clusters in the filling of a
comforter. The purest comforters are about 95 percent down, although
the label may say 100 percent. In the U.S., some state regulations
allow a comforter with a content of down as low as 75 percent to be
labeled as 100 percent. Small feathers often get mixed in with the
down, and it is very difficult to remove them. While a comforter
that is 75 percent down will be cozy and wonderfully warm, we still
want to know what is inside our comforters. The down collected from
the Eider duck, known as Eiderdown, used to be the standard filling
for a down comforter. These days, down from the Icelandic wild Eider
is in very limited supply due to its protection from commercial
harvesting. There are still a select few Eiderdown comforters
produced from feathers collected from empty nests, but these are
very rare and very expensive.
About beds and mattress retailers
Online mattress companies are geared up to providing the right
solution for aging baby boomers who have trouble sleeping but who
have enough disposable income to buy a luxury bed, the best of which
are priced as high as $2,000. They are also cashing in successfully
on selling great platform
beds to people with chronic back pain and other joint and bone
conditions. If you count the number of online mattress stores, you
can see that the world of mattresses has become a wide open playing
field.

Beds of the past
In the 16th and 17th centuries, mattresses were usually stuffed with
down or straw and placed on a latticework of rope. The cast
iron beds and cotton
mattress appeared in the late 19th century. This latter combination
of materials was less attractive to insects, which before were
considered normal in the sleeping quarters.
