Buying duvets is a daunting task. It’s not something that most people think they need to purchase because it’s something that falls under the category of ‘conspicuous consumption’. In fact, buying a edredón can be an expensive and useless purchase if you don’t take into account what your lifestyle needs.
Here are tips to buying duvets that will make sure you end up with something you love and that actually fits your lifestyle.
Size
The size of your duvet is very important. The size of the duvet will have a large impact on how the duvet feels. So understand what size you need before you go to buy one.
If you are planning to have 2 people sleeping, then buy a duvet that has enough space to accommodate both of you. If you buy a duvet that is too small, it will have the effect of your whole body touching one side of the duvet and only one person sleeping in the bed.
Shape
A lot of people think that all duvets should be rectangular in shape and cover their entire bed. In fact, there are many different shapes available so do not limit yourself to just a rectangular shape.
There are many different shapes that you can chose from and it’s not just for the aesthetic value. For instance, you can choose a square shape to save space or a shape with a thin border to make sure that the duvet doesn’t touch the floor at all.
One way of choosing a duvet shape is by first taking your height and then looking at the duvet’s dimensions. In this way, you’ll always have your height in mind and use it as a way to choose a shape. For instance, if you are 6’1″, then maybe you can try getting a duvet that has the length of 6′ and 1/2 inches.
Material
There are many materials used to make duvets. These include cotton, silk, polyester, and goose feathers just to name a few. So understand what type of material works best for you before going out and buying one.
For instance, goose feather might seem like the best option for you because it holds heat really well but it might not be the best choice if you live in a hot environment. This is because goose feather tends to get warm and will smother you.
In such instances, getting a duvet made out of silk might work best because silk is cool, comfortable and durable. Or if you already have a duvet spun from cotton or polyester, then maybe it’s time to get something that is made from silk.
Color
There are many different colors available when you go to buy a duvet. You can choose a color that complements your bedroom décor or you can opt for a color that makes your bedroom brighter.
Hue is another thing you should take into consideration. The hue of the duvet has an effect on how soft it is and helps to make the room look more elegant and warm as well. There are also many different hues that are available, including red, blue, green and yellow.
