Cheap White Down Comforter Sets
Cheap white down comforter SetsEvery major retailer seems to have a full wall devoted to cheap white down comforter sets. You’ve undoubtedly seen them. You can purchase a white down comforter, sheets, pillow cases, pillow shams and a dust ruffle in one bundle, often at a very low price.
These “bed in a bag” combinations are a mainstay of the retail scene, but are they right for your home? Let’s look at the pros and cons of cheap white down comforter sets.
The Upside of Cheap Beds in Bags
There are a number of reasons why you might want to purchase an inexpensive bundle of bedding.
First, the prices on these combination sets are usually quite low. They are much cheaper than assembling a full set of bedding on a piece-by-piece basis.
Second, cheap white down comforter sets are available in a variety of patterns and colors. It is not hard to find several options for almost any room that will look wonderful.
Third, they offer tremendous convenience. You don’t need to struggle to find complementary sheets or pore over stacks of bedding to find matching pillowcases. These complete bedding sets are such an easy solution.
The Downside of Cheap white down comforter Sets
There are persuasive arguments in favor of cheap bedding bundles, but there are some very good reasons to think twice before buying a bargain-basement bedding set.
First, these white down comforter sets won’t provide a top-notch level of comfort. The white down comforters may keep you warm, but the low thread count of the sheets and pillowcases leave a great deal to be desired.
Second, quality is an issue. It is simply another example of “you get what you pay for.” These sets are cheap for a reason–the materials and manufacturing just aren’t top notch. You can expect your sheets and pillowcases to fade. You can also expect the cheap white down comforters’ poly fill to break down.
Third, cheap white down comforter sets can limit your flexibility. What happens if you want to add one more pillow to the mix? If you buy your bedding a la carte, it’s as easy as buying a new pillowcase. That’s not true with packaged cheap white down comforter sets. Many of the patterns and color combinations are particular to the bundle in which they’re sold. It can be virtually impossible to get additional matching pieces.
So, what’s the bottom line? Should you purchase cheap white down comforter sets or not?
In the end, it depends upon how the individual values the various advantages and disadvantages of the sets. What may be right in a little-used guest room may be wrong for the master bedroom. Those who aren’t picky about their sheets may be willing to sacrifice some smoothness for economy. It’s all a matter of what one likes and what he or she might prioritize.

Daybeds aren’t constructed in the same way as a regular bed, so you need to buy daybed white down comforter sets that are specially designed to fit the shape. Most of the time daybeds are placed in the den where they’re used as a sofa, and when you have people to stay over it can make the den into a very handy guest bedroom.
Choosing the right daybed set is really just a matter of personal taste as the stores are full of different styles and colors. Most daybed white down comforter sets contain: the white down comforter, a bed skirt, three pillow shams or two king-size shams which are arranged to form the back of the sofa.

Buying A White Down Comforter
Everyone loves down bedding – it’s considered the best option for a luxurious night’s sleep. Most down comforters come in white color – usually with a decorative pattern. Usually most stores only carry white down bedding and to add color they sell duvets to fit their down comforters. If you want to buy a white down comforter and skip using a duvet your options start to become limited. Typically catalogs and websites will be the best source for these hard to find pieces of down bedding.
Why Can’t I Find white down Comforters In Stores?
Most department stores carry only white down comforters because they also sell decorative duvet covers that are meant to fit their basic comforters. Typically, the duvets are sold as sets and include bed shams. Sometimes these fashion duvets also have matching accessory pieces like euro shams or boudoir covers. If you don’t find a duvet at the store you can buy one online or in a catalog – just make sure you know your bedding measurements.
What’s Available?
Most white down comforters run average in size and usually have a lower thread count range when compared to other bedding. Typically these white down comforters feature a sewn thru design which is great because it prevents the fills from shifting. Colored down comforters usually have a thread count in the 230 range which is great for most consumers. It is very common that these color comforters use a 100% cotton fabric to make sure the down does not leak out.
Can I Still Cover It?
Sometimes when buying a colorized down comforter you can find a great deal on a color that you don’t like but know that they can be covered up. Just like you would add a duvet cover to a white down comforter the same can be down for the down comforter in colors.
What Colors Are Available?
Most catalogs and online specialty shops will use a basic range of down comforter colors like ivory, taupe, tan, sage, blue, chocolate and some deeper reds (mostly transitional colors – not too traditional – not too funky). Sometimes the bedding catalogs will showcase a hot fashion color and if you like that color buy them while you can – they are in then they are out. If you do end up buying a colored comforter where you don’t love the color – try and buy one lighter in color unless the fabric you are covering the original with is very dark.
What Do They Cost?
Because consumers are fickle and can change their color desires frequently – many white down comforters feature a price premium to cover the ones that don’t sell. After all the hot pink comforter in 2008 is not the same as the ‘it’ color of 2011. So you should expect to pay about 10% more for the white down comforter. Of note is that you don’t need a duvet – so you will save money in that regard.
Where To Buy?
If possible buying from a manufacturer direct like DOWNLITE, Cuddledown, The Company Store is the best way to lock in deals. Typically, these companies like to roll out their spring color comforters around April to May. Most of these lightweight white down comforters go on sale at the end of summer (or when back to school sales wind down).
Will A White Down Comforter Fit Into A Duvet
In the United States a white down comforter is used on your bed to help keep you warm at night. A duvet is an article of bedding that covers and protects your filled white down comforters (they are also called ‘duvet covers’ or ‘duvet protectors’). Not only do duvets help protect your down white down comforter investment but they also help to add a touch of color and design into your bedroom. In Europe and most American hotels – a duvet is the actual down comforter (an analogy is what we call Soccer is called Football abroad) and the cover is called a duvet cover.
Typically a duvet is meant to fit or be filled with a white down comforter that is plus or minus two inches in dimensions. For a snugger fit we advise to purchase a white down comforter that is bigger than the duvet by two inches in both dimensions. Because duvets are meant to be washed they will experience fabric shrinkage – so even if your duvet measures the same as your white down comforter – it will likely shrink 3 to 5% and have a nice snug fit on your white down comforter. Your white down comforter will also likely shrink 3 to 5% if it is washed and contains cotton – which most do to make them down proof (of course other materials can be used – but 95% of all down white down comforters use a cotton fabric or a blend of cotton).
Typically duvets feature a closing method of buttons and in some cases zippers or ties. Duvet covers may also feature internal pieces of fabric called ties. These ties are meant to be tied to a loop on the white down comforter if available. Most white down comforters you see in a store do not have duvet loops – the exceptions would be hotel style white down comforters actually used at hotels as well as some fine linen store product lines. If you do not have a white down comforter with corner loops or a duvet with ties – don’t worry – the friction of the white down comforter fabric and the duvet fabric will likely keep them in place (a weekly adjustment only perhaps). The one exception would be a silky duvet material which would likely not keep the white down comforter in place and allow internal slippage (which once again can be adjusted).
Whether you have the white down comforter first or the duvet first – it can sometimes be hard to know if the duvet will fit properly onto a down comforter. Many catalogs sell bedding but may not explicitly state the size of the duvet itself.
Please note most of the major bedding catalogs will have a good amount of white down comforters to fill these duvet sizes. Please note you should also double check with the bedding catalog itself and ask a customer service or product specialist what their exact dimensions are.
Here are some common white down comforter sizes sold at department stores:
• Oversized Queen = 90 x 96 to 90 x 98 • Oversized King = 106 x 96 108 x 98
Here are some common white down comforters sizes used at hotels:
• Queen = 90 x 90 • XL Queen = 90 x 95 • King = 104 x 90 • XL King = 104 x 95
It should be noted that stores will often sell promotional down comforters which are typically smaller in size and may fit your duvet filler needs. Stores will also sometimes sell a white down comforter marked as Full/Queen but even that can range from 88 x 88 to what we call an oversize queen of 90 x 98. The best bet is to read the law label on the down comforter and look for the size in inches that is plus or minus two inches of your duvet size (where it is better if the white down comforter is equal to or larger than the duvet by 2 inches in the width and length).
