What different materials are used to make Pottery Barn bedding?Bedding sets, comforters, and duvet covers are fabricated from several types of materials for use in different seasons and temperatures. Some of the materials used to make Pottery Barn bedding include:
- Cotton
- Linen
- Silk
- Tencel
- Velvet
Pottery Barn offers hypoallergenic bedding and pillows that are made with a down alternative that is known as Quallowarm. This hollow core fiber allows air to move through the fibers so as to trap heat and warmth.
What is the difference between a comforter, quilt, and duvet?The differences between these types of bed covers are based on the stuffing material, the fabric, and the patterns. Comforters are typically filled with down or batting that is made from polyester. The exterior layer of plain or patterned material is stitched together with the lining and the filling. A duvet is similar to a comforter in that it can be filled with down or a down alternative, but the exterior fabric is generally white or cream in color. Duvet covers can be removed for washing or for changing the look of your bed. Quilts are made of three layers. They usually have a top layer of pieced fabric that is stitched together in a pattern or a decorative fashion, a middle layer of batting for warmth, and a bottom layer.
How do you clean a comforter?Always check the manufacturer's care tag for washing directions specific to your item's fabrication and construction. If the bedding is machine-washable rather than dry clean-only, use the delicate or bulky setting on your washing machine with cool water and a gentle detergent. To dry, use a low setting on your dryer to prevent any shrinkage. Adding a few tennis balls to the dryer with the comforter may help plump up the batting or filling in your Pottery Barn comforter.
