Many people will ask for a comforter, when they really want a bedspread, and vice versa. A surprising percentage of the population seems confused between the two items, and it is wise to make sure they know exactly what they're ordering, when they order, because the customer is always right, even when they happen to be dead wrong.
A comforter differs from a bedspread in several respects:
 |
A comforter hangs over three sides of a conventional bed by a standard 15" drop. A bedspread normally reaches the floor. |
|
A comforter is fully reversible. A bedspread is backed with plain white cotton, and blind-hemmed at the edges, so it is not reversible. |
|
A conventional comforter is not meant to cover the pillows. A bedspread is. |
|
A comforter has thick 11oz. bonded polyester fill, while a bedspread has much thinner 7 oz polyester fill. |
A comforter is also called a "duvet" in Europe and abroad, while in the U.S., the term "duvet" is used (quite incorrectly) to refer to a duvet cover. A duvet cover is just like it sounds, a protective and decorative cover for your comforter.
When ordering a comforter, it is good to know the depth of the mattress on which it will be used. If the depth of the mattress is more than 15", you may want to order the comforter to have a larger drop, to cover it. There is an additional charge associated with a larger drop over 15".
Perimeter cording or self-welt cording is available for for an additional charge.
Extra thick fill (15 oz) is available for an additional charge.
The quilting pattern of a comforter is often determined by the pattern of the fabric, but if you need a certain quilting pattern, you can specify Squares, Box Stitch, Channels, Diamonds, Jump and Tack, or Clouds for an additional charge. |
