Greetings fellow members!
First of all, my sincere apologies if Im placing this in the wrong subforum, I thought this 1 was the most appropriate place. And also apologies if the thread name is not that... "awesome"
Now, to the question.
You'll see people, I want to get myself a "custom printed" cover for my bed, and due to the "modularity" factor Im leaning towards a duvetcover rather than a bedspread, AND... here comes the question:
With what do I fill it?
What kind of blanket/sheet/comforter-etc do I pick?
Down here in Mexico city, climate is crazy as hell,and Im not in my best healthy condition, so I want to sleep warm and cozy. I was thinking on maybe getting some Thinsulate or Polar fleece or something like that to put into the duvet. Unfortunately, only things like that Im able to find are baby blankets, nothing NOTHING to get into a twin bed duvet cover.
If somebody have some info-suggestion.. a link I can follow to solve this, I will thank it most sincerely. :D

I don't know why you would want an 'awesome' name. It isn't a requirement to get a good answer. And, welcome to AMHD.

Duvet covers are usually used to put over either another comforter, or in my case I have several covers and I put a down filled comforter inside. Down is good for any climate. Mine is comfortable in winter and summer because it 'breathes'. Sometimes a just use a white cotton cover for it.

You don't by random fillings for r a duvet cover. If you can't find a feather or down comforter, use a new clean comforter to put inside, preferably the same size, twin, double, queen, king, whatever.

I hope this is clear.

Try to get a Down comforter that has been quilted into large squares or diamonds, so when laundered the feathers don't bunch up in one spot, and go for medium or higher price, then the feathers ends won't stick you after a while.
They are perfect for all weather, we range from 40-105 and it is always on the bed.:)

:D No not a bad thing to have dogs sleeping on the bed. I have done that too but now believe too much work for me so she has a bed on the floor which is much better for her because she is now l3 with a torn ligament inoperable. She can no longer jump onto the bed and I don't want to put her through that.

I just thought that you could not launder a down duvet as it ruins the down inside the baffles. I have mine cleaned, and I also air it every two weeks on the line. I also have a down mattress topper (decadent but necessary for my 'nesting' mode :cool:). Yes, just me in a big queensize bed with all the immenities.

So... tell me, how does it look after many washings ?

Edit: no one could find me under and on top of all of that anyway. So what's the point of sharing.:p
