When you think of comforters, you probably are like most people and go straight to down comforters. They are pretty good, don’t get me wrong, but there are things about down comforters that will shock you.
First, they degrade as they get used. What that means the feathers on the inside actually break down and get balled up. This means you are always losing softness and that is something that would really be horrible.
Second, they are one of the biggest attractors of allergens like dust mites besides your mattress itself. They really do get super dirty over time and they are extremely difficult to wash.
Finally, the feathers shift and create hole which means cold pockets while you sleep. So what should you be using? The best thing you can use would be a silk comforter. They are all natural and actually repel dust mites and other allergens. They also do not break down or create holes over use.
The difference is quite amazing. Plus they are better at controlling your temperature while you sleep which is one of the best things about them. So when you are looking for a new comforter this year, look to a silk comforter and you will be very happy you did.
