Comforter Sets

A great bedroom centers on a great bed, but mattresses are only half the battle. Complete your bedroom with a comforter set that’s chosen for your needs. Different comforter fabrics and fills will help you achieve a good night’s rest, and your chosen comforter set will transform the look and feel of your bedroom.

What Are Comforters?

Comforters and duvets are very similar, but have one key difference: duvets are essentially “naked” blankets, which require duvet and pillowcase covers to be purchased and laundered separately. Comforters and comforter sets, on the other hand, come ready to go. Each item is already finished, with a non-removable design.

Comforter sets typically include a comforter along with matching pillows or pillow shams. Pillow shams will tell you what size of pillow you’ll need to purchase separately, while pillows and decorative pillows come sewn into their casing. Occasionally, comforter sets will also include flat sheets, fitted sheets, or bed skirts. To find out what pieces your comforter set includes, refer to the “What’s in the Box?” section on any Best Buy comforter set page.

Focus on Materials

Many comforter sets will list two separate materials in their makeup. The “filling” refers to what’s inside of the comforter, while the “shell” refers to the comforter’s outer layer, which will rest against your skin while in bed.

For warm sleepers who need a thin blanket, choose bedding that’s lightweight and easy to launder. Select lighter filling and shell materials like as polyester, or opt for naturally breathable materials that are easy to clean, like cotton.

For cool sleepers, choose with heavier filling weights. The higher the GSM (grams per square ), the warmer and thicker your blanket will be. Cotton and microfiber are popular options thanks to their soft, warm finishes, and Egyptian cotton offers a step up with exceptional smoothness. In very cold areas, check out Best Buy’s selection of duvets, which offer warmer materials like down and silk fill. These materials are more difficult to launder, so they’re found less often in comforter sets.

Choose the Right Size

Comforters vary both in their materials and size. Twin and double (full) sets are typically designed for children’s bedrooms, with bright and patterns featuring popular children’s characters. Queen and king size comforters are typically designed for the master or guest bedroom, with classic patterns and more monochromatic options. Best Buy offers both in a variety of prints and styles to match your bedroom set and furniture.
