How to Choose a Down Comforter

Warm Things has been designing and crafting down comforters for over 40 years. Our down is carefully selected then washed multiple times to reduce allergy-causing impurities, so it's hypoallergenic. This cleaning process costs more, but we want our comforters to be the very best.

Choosing the right down comforter for your needs can be a bit confusing due to the wide variety of styles and prices. Below you can find some helpful advice to choose the best comforter for the best night's sleep.

• Are you a warm sleeper or a cold sleeper?
• Is your bedroom warm or drafty? What is the average temperature?
• What is your climate? Will you use your comforter year-round or seasonally?

Choose a Warmth Level

• Line up the temperature of your bedroom with how you usually feel while you are sleeping. Where the two meet is the warmth level that you should choose.

Level 1
Provides the warmth of a thick blanket. Suitable for warm sleepers in a warm-medium temperature room.

Level 2
Year round comfort for those who run warm to normal in a medium temperature room.

Level 3
Designed for cooler sleepers in normal to cold bedrooms.

Level 4
Originally used in unheated bedrooms and cold climates. Provides ultimate warmth for cold sleepers in cold climates or normal sleepers in very cold bedrooms.

How to Choose a Down Pillow

Stomach sleepers tend to prefer softer pillows that will give support without being too thick. Back sleepers need a pillow that will support and conform to their head and neck. Side sleepers tend to enjoy a denser, thicker pillow to keep their neck in line while cradling their head. For those who change sleeping positions throughout the night, we recommend level 2 or 3.

Unsure of the exact warmth level?

If you are still unsure which comforter or pillow is right for you, we suggest you choose the lower of the two warmth levels that most closely match your sleep habits. Feel free to call us at 415-472-2154 for additional help.
