Home is an association with warmth. Even if you have to stay in the dorms of your college, you can get a significant level of comfort by choosing the right setting and decor of the room. Away from home, should not put a full stop to your creative vigour and you should put as much effort into the decoration of the dorm room as you are allowed.
Comfortable Bed Setting
The first thing that a student returning from college has set eyes for is their bed. The Willow Printed Bedding Set at home which makes you feel lively and spirited would bring similar feelings if you put them on your dorm’s bedding. A true delight it would be for your eyes. However, this is your only option. You can explore many others.
Before starting to explore other options, how about clarifying the age-old dilemma of what to get for yourself, a duvet or comforter?
So, What’s the Difference?
A duvet is a quilt-like blanket that is filled with synthetic or natural down materials. It is a two-piece set. The quilt is wrapped around by an additional cover which supplies protection against accidents and dirt like a pillowcase saves the pillow from being damaged.
The comforter is just a one-piece show. It does not have any cover. Smart it may sound, but people use comforters as Duvet inserts. Comforters are ready to use coverings. Comforters provide much more warmth than the duvets.
What Kind of Person You are?
While making any choice, the final decision reflects the kind of person and the nature you have. For example, if you are a person who loves to keep themselves too warm a material that would justify your needs would be required. Similarly, some people want that their beds should be easily made-up without the hassle of making them up and setting them appropriately, your choice can vary.
While a duvet is ready to be spread on the bed, when you are in a rush, and can supply a fair amount of warmth, the comforters are no less. Comforters are for people, who do not want the additional fuss of looking for a cover. They just visit a shop pick up a comforter that would set with their needs, spread it in their dorm’s bed and go to sleep. Though a time-saving technique it is, it is not long as energy-saving as you would want it to be.
A comforter is relatively harder to clean. The duvet is easier to clean because it has a cover. Sometimes the duvet sheets have double-sided covers too so you can easily make them long-lasting. Washing is no problem with them nor drying them. Quilts can be challenging in this regard.
However, its assembling can be difficult at times. On the other hand, the comforters are evenly built, in the sense that their material is equally distributed and there is no trouble arranging them. It can also give you a layered look for your bedding if you are quite detail-oriented about room decor and overall appearance.
If you are looking at the value or pricing of the two then they are more or less in the same category. People do say the duvets are expensive in this regard that you have to buy a separate case for them, while a comforter can work well without it. But as someone who has lived in the dormitories, or is about to live, you must have the idea that the spaces are small, you cannot expect the comforters to be washed in the machine and then dried too instantly. Dry cleaning is required and you have to pay for that. Whereas busying the duvet makes things easier. You can wash it anytime, let it be soaked dry by the sun and even leave it overnight because the duvet can be used without a cover too. Thus, making the expanses the same.
Our Suggestion
Duvet Covers! We say this because the duvet provides a good fluffy feel as well as they are easy to clean. For dorms, and using hostels to live in, duvets are better choices. In dormitories, your clothes, stationery items, and everything else is at the risk of being damaged because dorms are supposed to be shared by two to four people. Spilling accidents, stepping in with footwear on and other habits of your roommates will take time to change but till then you should have something that could resist the impact of these actions. Duvets and their covers do that perfectly.
