Beautiful Full Size Comforter Sets For The Excited Coming Summer
Summer is the perfect time to switch up your aesthetic, and that doesn’t just apply to your hair and wardrobe. The warm nights also offer a great excuse to change the appearance of your home. And what area of your house is more important than the bedroom where you spend eight or nine hours a day? Whether your primary bedroom is just for sleep or also a spot you use for reading, relaxing, studying, and engaging in hobbies, it’s crucial that this space reflects your unique taste and preferences. You can’t expect to get sufficient sleep if being in your room is unpleasant or even stressful. The good news is shopping for a new full-size comforter set offers an easy, affordable way to give your room a facelift of sorts. At Latest Bedding, we’re passionate about helping customers find stylish bedding that’s built to last and sure to impress visitors. Read on to learn more about comforter sizing along with tips on selecting the right bedding for your needs.
Get to Know How Comforter Sizing Works
When shopping for a new comforter, it’s important to do your homework. And unless you’re planning to replace your mattress, the first step is determining what size comforter will best fit your existing bed. The good news is most high-quality designer comforters are made to fit a standard mattress size. Below are measurements for some of the most popular mattresses and comforters on the market:
Twin: A twin mattress measures 39 inches by 75 inches and works best with a twin comforter, which measures about 66 to 68 inches wide by 86 to 88 inches long. Note that the bedding will drape slightly over the sides of the mattress for a look that’s more aesthetically pleasing. Twin beds are most commonly used in rooms for kids and teens.
Twin XL: Offering a longer length suited to taller teens and adults, a twin XL mattress is around 39 inches wide by 80 inches long. For best results, choose a twin XL comforter, which is about 68 inches wide by 90 inches long. Note that this size bed is commonly found in college dorms.
Full: Also known as a double, a full-size mattress comes in at 54 inches by 75 inches. Meanwhile, a standard full comforter measures 81 to 84 inches by 86 to 88 inches. This bed size works well for single adults, couples with slighter frames, and anyone residing in a smaller bedroom that might not fit a queen or a king bed.
Queen: With a measurement of 60 inches by 80 inches, a queen mattress is a luxurious bedroom choice. Opt for a queen comforter, which tends to measure 96 inches by 100 inches.
This mattress size is one of the most popular selections among couples.
King: Also known as an Eastern King, this mattress measures 76 inches by 80 inches. Pair it with a standard king comforter measuring 102 inches wide by around 88 inches long.
California King: Those needing even more space may want to invest in a California, or Western King. Measuring 72 inches by 84 inches, this bed works best with California king comforters measuring around 110 inches by 98 inches.
Ultimately, the right comforter size is whichever one fits your mattress and your lifestyle. If you prefer the luxury of a queen comforter on a full bed, feel free to choose that option. Similarly, some sleepers opt for a king comforter on a queen bed.
How Bedding Affects Sleep
Do you struggle with insomnia? If so, you probably know that mattresses can play a key role in your ability to sleep well. However, you might not realize that bedding also has a significant effect on rest and relaxation. If your sheets and comforters are itchy, scratchy, heavy, stifling, or poorly constructed, you might find yourself tossing and turning rather than drifting off to dreamland. After all, it’s hard to sleep when your bedding is rough and pilling. Similarly, bedding with the wrong weight or fill power may not work well depending on the climate in which you live. Along with bedding size, here are some of the most critical factors to consider when choosing a new comforter set:
Material
Arguably the most essential consideration for bedding, material impacts how your comforter looks and feels against your skin. For example, many sleepers prefer cotton because it’s a breathable fabric that allows heat and moisture to pass right through. So sleepers don’t have to worry about waking up damp with sweat on hot nights. Additionally, certain bedding options are beloved for being hypoallergenic. If your skin tends to be sensitive or reactive, a hypoallergenic comforter set may be the way to go. And of course cotton is always a great option for guests whose preferences you might not know.
Durability
No one wants to invest in a new comforter set only to have it fall apart in the wash. Fortunately, selecting high-quality comforters made from cotton and other durable fabrics helps ensure they go the distance. Additionally, certain materials are less likely to pill. The result is a more comfortable night’s sleep free from itching or irritation.
Fill
Those who live in cooler parts of the world – or want a lighter comforter for summer – will likely want to pay close attention to fill power. Referring to the volume that an ounce of material takes up, fill volume impacts how heavy and warm a comforter is. If you want a fresh, cooling option for the bedroom, consider a fill of around 300 GSM. On the other hand, fills of 500 or so may be better for cold climates.
Style
Of course, choosing quality bedding isn’t just about fabric and fill. If your comforter set isn’t pleasing to the eye, you’re unlikely to get a good night’s rest. Fortunately, companies like Latest Bedding offer a wide selection of products. Sort on the site by designer, color, or material to find a full-size comforter set that fits your bed and your taste.
Why Choose a Full Size Comforter Set
When shopping for new bedding, customers have two main options: purchase items a la carte or buy them as a set. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and either route can result in a beautifully appointed bedroom. However, if time is a precious resource, shopping for full size comforter set may be the way to go.
Generally, when you purchase a new comforter collection, you receive several coordinating items in one package. While each brand is different, the average full-size comforter set features a comforter and two pillow shams. However, some sets may include additional pieces such as bed skirts, decorative pillows, and even window treatments to fill out a room. All the pieces go together seamlessly so you don’t have to scour the internet for options.
Additionally, going the bedding set route can help save you money. Investing in a full-size comforter set will cost less than purchasing the pieces one by one. So you can redirect funds to another aspect of your home decor.
The good news is comforter collections are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and styles from classic to contemporary, modern to boho, romantic to cottage core. You can find options for men, women, teens, couples, and even kids. Additionally, Latest Bedding carries items by many of the top bedding brands, such as Bebejan, J Queen, Rose Tree, Pine Cone Hill, and Croscill. With a little searching, you can find an option that works for you and your bedmate.
