r/Bedding on Reddit: Help finding a comforter (machine washable)
June 30, 2024 -

I would greatly appreciate help finding a full-sized comforter (not a duvet) that I can put in the dryer without destroying/melting the stuffing. I’ve had them in the past, but I’m having trouble finding a new one. I’m looking to spend maybe $60 at the least (since I’m having bad luck with quality) and $150 at the most. I’m avoiding polyester for the outer fabric. Any suggestions for brands or specific comforters would be great!

I’m adding a photo of something I like…just a regular comforter 😊

November 28, 2023 -

I’m going to grad school and need a comforter but I won’t have a car so I can’t just drive to a laundromat easily. I have a laundry machine in the building but it’s not HUGE. So I’m looking for a comforter/duvet insert that isn’t too expensive (I’m a student) but is machine washable and decent quality 🥺 any advice and help is appreciated! Thank you! 🥹

I hate my duvet/cover scenario. I want a really wonderful, 1-piece comforter. Machine washable, please. Under $300 for a King would be ideal.

I can run hot but I also love a little weight on me. I’ve been eyeing Quince comforters but will take any recs. Thank you!

EDIT: To clarify — one piece means I don’t want a duvet + insert. Just a comforter… or maybe a quilt since some of those ideas are sounding good.

Hi all. I'm looking for something that I can throw into the washer and dryer and I don't have to insert into a cover. Ideally the material would be something that doesn't attract pet hairs as I have a cat, and is also less than $300, but any recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance.

r/Bedding on Reddit: Comforter (Not Duvet) For Hot Sleeper
October 19, 2022 -

I've been looking on reddit and other places online, and have realized its hard to find exactly what I'm looking for. I want a comforter that is not a duvet insert that I don't need to buy a duvet cover for. Other than that, my main requirements are that it is not warm (I'm a hot sleeper), and is machine washable.

I've been reading recommendations about bamboo, silk, or a lower percentage down comforter but I don't care too much about material as long as its soft and sleeps cool.

Final thing I realized I should include is that my budget is ~$200. Does anyone have recommendations or places I should be looking?

The problem is that about 99% of comforters are polyester-filled (or plastic-based if you want to get technical about it). Comforters and Duvet Inserts are close cousins (and sometimes are the same thing, ngl) so it becomes confusing for many people when they search for comforters and find that an insert is basically labeled as a comforter. Sometimes the 'comforters' will have ties/loops on the ends to help attach it inside of the duvet, and other times it won't. It is pretty frustrating for many people that are looking specifically for just duvet inserts or just comforters (with fill material inside of them). I just basically have taken to calling anything with fill that has no loops/ties a comforter since that's what the majority of them are. It's just the norm: Comforters with a color/pattern on them (that's not just white) tend to be poly-fill 9 times out of 10. Poly-fill, unfortunately, really, really sucks at temp regulation. It usually traps heat, is horrible to dry (plastic doesn't do well expelling water or with high heat b/c it will melt), and will clump over time inside the comforter (especially if you wash it) and then you'll be left with a lumpy mass. I had a comforter from Chic Home that was polyfill and microfiber for years and had no clue what I was getting into with it until I had it for a few months and the deed had been done, so to speak. Ok; here's a question that will make or break this whole dilemma of yours: Do you want your comforter to have a pattern on it (like a detailed colored pattern/image) or do you want just a white comforter (like most inserts look like)? Are you OK with a comforter that is just solid colors (or 2-toned, at the most)? That, more than anything, will determine what direction we can proceed in, because if you want a patterned comforter then the chances of you finding one without poly-fill that will overheat you at night will be very, very slim :( Let me know and I'll do my best to help you find something that will work for you depending on the circumstances.

I recently bought a lyocell comforter called "Buffy Cloud." I think it's terrific. Lyocell is evidently made from eucalyptus, and it's great for those of us who sleep hot. The company also sells an even lighter one called "Buffy Breeze" for folks who live in hot climates. To me, the difference between a comforter and a duvet insert is washability. The Buffy Cloud is machine washable. (Evidently older versions were not.)

I currently have a duvet with a cover and I wash the cover regularly, but have the hardest time getting the duvet/comforter to fit in my front load washer. I don’t live in an area with a decent laundromat and I don’t want to pay for dry cleaning over and over. Any recommendations for a king comforter that’s all-season, gets compact AND wash well at home?

r/Bedding on Reddit: Washable Comforter Recommendation for Older Parents?
August 18, 2024 -

Hi! I'm looking for a comforter or quilt for my parents - they're hoping to find something very specific that I haven't been able to find! Has anyone found something like this?

  • Non-down (alternative, cotton, or wool is fine!)

  • Machine washable

  • Doesn't need a duvet cover (will be used on its own)

  • Not white - some sort of pattern or colorful

  • Soft and not crunchy/stiff

  • Lightweight

  • Light-medium warmth

  • Durable (they have a cat)

I've looked at the Company Store, Parachute, Woolino, LL Bean, and Brooklinen but haven't found something like this yet! Would greatly appreciate any recommendations :). Thanks so much!

November 15, 2021 - I highly recommend a lightweight comforter from The Company Store. Their bedding is super high quality. I don’t have a lightweight one but I know they have them and I can say I love the products I do have, and my grandma has nothing but their stuff and has for decades. ... seconding the company store, specifically the la crosse down collection. they have a lightweight down blanket that is fantastic, machine washable, and comes in a huge variety of colors.

r/Bedding on Reddit: Easily washable comforter recommendations
January 26, 2024 -

I need affordable (under $150) recommendations for a comforter that is warm and decent quality but washes and dries easily in a standard home washing machine and dryer. I have a cat that spends a lot of time on my bed and my comforter gets coated in hair and needs to be washed often, but the one I have is too thick to be washed in my washing machine. Taking it to the laundromat every time it needs a wash is not realistic for me considering how quickly it gets dirty. I need something thinner, yet still warm and cozy for winter. I would like to be able to wash it at least every month, if not more often.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Title. I run pretty hot and I also am tired of the task that is putting a duvet cover on by myself (the struggle is real). Would love something that has some color but haven't found any great options online. Also have a dog if there are any that repel fur better than others, but that's secondary. Thx!

My bedding got destroyed again in the washer. This time it was a cotton fabric with polyester filling comforter. I’m so tired of buying bedding that’s seems to be a one time use.

The insides clumped together, one of the tags like melted, and a massive stain appeared- it looks like I dumped a bottle of foundation on it. I’m so disappointed.

I always follow the instructions- wash in cold, tumble dry low. But between my washer and dryer, one of them always destroying my bedding.

After not having a bed for a few months I just wanted to freshen up my bedding so it would have smelled nice but now this is destroyed. I was so excited to finally sleep on a bed tonight. 😭

r/Bedding on Reddit: Duvet insert that's actually cooling (but also machine washable)
February 27, 2019 -

The title pretty much says it all: I'm looking to buy a good and proper duvet, rather than using the polyester comforters I've had since I was a kid. The ones I've had since childhood are polyester, which causes me to sweat. (Also scratchy as heck for some reason.)

I'm one of those people who always radiates heat even in the coldest of situations. So I want a cooling duvet that can be used with a cover. Preferably one that doesn't contain a spec of polyester, microfiber, or any of those other sweat-inducing synthetics.

Unfortunately, I also take in special needs animals. Sometimes the kitty can't control himself--he's prone to UTIs, so sometimes he wets my bed. He's also prone to vomiting because he has a weak stomach. So I need a duvet that can be put in the washing machine at the laundromat if I have to. (I would never try and use the one at my apartment--it's too small and likes to ruin my clothes.) It may even have to go to the laundry multiple times a week, depending on how rough Kitty is feeling. (Doing well for now, thanks for asking. He sees a vet regularly and they're doing their best.)

Does anyone have any advice?

One of the duvets I'm looking at is the Buffy Breeze--it's 100% Eucalyptus, but it also says dry clean only. However, I've owned a lot of "dry clean only" outfits and they've been just fine going through the wash.... so, does anyone know if it would be okay to put the Buffy Breeze duvet in the washing machine even though it says not to? I'm just not comfortable "spot cleaning" when it comes to cat piss.
