How do I choose the right comforter?
Finding the comforter that is right for you is essential to a good night's sleep. One of our goals at Plush Comforters.com is to help you make the right selection.
Some things to think about when choosing a comforter are desired warmth level and comforter size.
How do I choose the right feather bed?
Feather beds are designed to rest on top of your mattress. The extra layer cushions and cradles your body, improving circulation and relaxing muscles.
Plush Comforters has two Feather bed constructions available; Baffle Channel and Baffle Box.
A Baffle Channel feather bed offers flexibility in feather positioning. Thus, if you have special needs (such as the desire to prop your feet slightly higher) you have the ability to shift down to the bottom of the feather bed.
A Baffle Box feather bed offers less flexibility but also requires less maintenance as the down will maintain its position within the boxed construction.
How do I choose the right pillow?
Finding the perfect pillow is essential to a good night's sleep. One of our goals at Plush Comforters.com is to help you make the right selection.
Some things to think about when choosing a pillow are the position that you mainly sleep in and your approximate shoulder width or size. To help walk you through the process of finding the perfect pillow, we have built a tool that asks two simple questions and then recommends products based on your answers. You can then compare and contrast each product to determine which best fits your needs.
How do I care for my Pacific Coast comforter?
Pacific Coast comforters are easy to care for and are designed to last night after night and year after year. Here are some tips to help ensure your comforter lasts for many years:
Use a Duvet Cover: When protected by a duvet cover, your comforter will only need to be cleaned every three to five years. Also, with a duvet cover, you won't need a top sheet, blanket, or bedspread. Making your bed will be a flip and a fluff! Remove and clean your duvet cover whenever sheets are laundered.
Professionally launder your comforter every three to five years: Down actually washes well, but due to the size of comforters, we highly recommend leaving the cleaning to a professional. However, if you do choose to wash your comforter, please read below under "Washing your Comforter"
Fluff your comforter when you make your bed: By providing a steady flow of air, your down will continue to loft.
Store your comforter in a breathable bag: Avoid storing comforters in plastic bags, which may trap in moisture and cause the fill to mildew or disintegrate.
Redistribute your comforter as needed: To redistribute the fill of your comforter, lay your comforter on a flat surface and simply push the down in place with the heel of your hand and forearm.
Washing Instructions for Your Comforter
We hope that these simple guidelines help protect your investment and instruct you how to care for your comforter.
We recommend you professionally launder your bedding every 3-5 years. It is possible to wash your bedding yourself, but you may jeopardize the life of your comforter.
We are reluctant to recommend nonprofessional laundering because:
1. Home washers are often too small.
2. Most household washing machines have an agitator in the center, which places unnecessary stress on the comforter.
3. Harsh detergents and heat can cause down to become dry and brittle and will result in the down clusters breaking.
4. If the product is not dried completely, the fill may mildew or disintegrate.
5. Most fabric used in natural bedding is 100% cotton and will shrink slightly when dried.
Should you still choose to wash your comforter yourself, please:
1. Use gentle detergents and a low heat drying cycle.
2. Be sure to dry the product completely for approximately 8-12 hours. Products must be dried in a machine. We do not recommend line drying.
How do I care for my Pacific Coast down blanket or throw?
Always check the care label first, as instructions may vary:
1. Wash with a mild detergent on a warm water/gentle setting.
2. Dry the blanket or throw completely on a low heat setting. Any lumps or clumps of fill indicates dampness; continue to dry until you are sure there is no moisture left.
Storing your blanket or throw
When your blanket and throws are not in use, store them in breathable bags. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which may trap in moisture and cause the fill to mildew or disintegrate.
How do I care for my Pacific Coast feather bed?
Care and Storage of Your Feather Bed
Gently shake your new feather bed and air it out for a few hours to allow the feathers to fluff up. On a regular basis we also suggest fluffing, flipping, and rotating your feather bed. If your feather distribution becomes uneven, simply redistribute the fill by placing the feather bed on a flat surface and pushing the feathers to the desired location. To push the feathers, use the palm of your hand and your forearm.
Like a mattress, feather beds should be properly covered. To help prevent damage from spills and stains, cover your feather bed with a feather bed protector or a fitted sheet. Remove and clean the protective cover whenever sheets and other bedding are laundered.
If your feather bed becomes wet or damp, be sure to dry it completely or the fill may mildew or decompose.
Washing your feather bed
A feather bed should be treated like an extension of your mattress. Minor spills or soiling of the feather bed itself should be spot cleaned. If more extensive cleaning is required, consult a professional dry cleaner.
Your feather bed should not be laundered at home.
How to use your new feather bed.
There are many ways to place your feather bed on your mattress, it just depends on what works best for your individual needs.
Place your feather bed directly on top of your mattress and then cover both with a fitted sheet.
Place your feather bed directly on top of your mattress, cover both with a mattress pad and then place a fitted sheet over the mattress pad.
Fit a mattress pad on your mattress, place your feather bed on top of the mattress pad, and then place a fitted sheet over all.
Place a feather bed inside of a feather bed cover and place this on top of your mattress fitted with a mattress pad and fitted sheet. Sleep directly on top of your feather bed.
No matter how you make your feather bed work for you, we do recommend using a feather bed cover to help protect your new feather bed.
