Today the most popular type of bedding is bed-in-a-bag sets. These bedding and comforter sets come in sizes to accommodate twin, full size, queen or king size. The best part about these comforter bed in bag sets is that they are fool proof decorating. These sets are totally coordinated to give your bedroom a look of a professional interior decorator without the price. They also save you money. It's always more expensive to by bedding pieces separately than it is to buy a bedding ensemble.

If you're looking for kids comforters or teen comforters you'll have wide selection. Home Fashions for Kids by Dan River has a selection of your kid's favorite cartoon characters, super heroes and sports. PB teen (Pottery Barn teen) has some lovely bedding sets, but we felt they were somewhat sophisticated and a bit on the expensive side.

If you're looking for luxury comforters, queen comforter sets or king size comforters you'll be able to choose from the fine luxury linens offered from Sferra, Peacock Alley, Yves Delorme and more. These are very high quality and expensive linens that are meant to last for generations. It can cost you upwards of $2000 to totally outfit a bed using these linens.

Most manufacturers of bedding and comforter sets have much less expensive options for you. Wamsutta, Waverly, Croscill, Fieldcrest/Cannon, Dan River, and Thomasville Home have lovely bedding ensembles. Some are 7 pc bedding ensembles that include a comforter, two pillow shams, a bed skirt and three decorative pillows. Some of these bedding and comforter sets include fitted sheet, full sheet and two pillowcases, but not the decorative pillows.

If you are looking for a down alternative comforter due to allergy to down or just to save money you're also going to have a wide selection to choose from. Manufacturers such as MicroMax, Beyond Nature, Kumi Kookoon, and Alpaca Wool Comforters offer comforters with the same loft and warmth of down that are not down. Some still use down but also add syriaca clusters from the milk weed plants to make them hypoallergenic. These are called Hypodown comforters. Some are 100% polyester, some are silk, and, as you can see some use hypoallergenic Alpaca wool.

The amount of money you spend on bedding and comforter sets is totally up to you. You can find king size comforter and bedding sets online for $49.00, you can as was mentioned earlier spend ten times that if you wish. We'd suggest most people would be happy somewhere in the middle. If you are outfitting your child's room with kids comforters don't go overboard. Your child is certain to change his or her mind and want something else, and the comforter will have to put up with your rough and tumble kids. However, if you're outfitting your master bedroom with queen comforter sets or king size comforters or a combination bedding and comforter set go ahead and splurge. Thomasville Home has a wonderful selection of bedding that has coordinating window treatments, shower curtains, towels and fabric available by the yard so that you can have a totally polished and professionally decorated look without the price.
