Today’s bedding is designed for a more casual lifestyle and features easy care fabrics along with contemporary designs. Perhaps the biggest bedding change to happen over the last thirty years would be the demise of the bedspread – not to say they have gone extinct, but by and large bedspreads have been replaced by comforters and quilts.
The typical modern bedding ensemble begins with a bed skirt and includes two decorative pillow shams and a comforter or quilt. The items may be made of matching materials but are more likely to feature coordinating fabrics, colors, patterns and prints. Add a coordinating sheet set and you are ready to make the bed.
Quilts and comforters may also be reversible which adds versatility to any bedding ensemble; the alternative is to invest in a down or down-alternative comforter. The down comforter is not used on its own and should only be laundered every one to three years; instead, one uses duvet or comforter covers (which are similar to a large pillowcase) to protect the down comforter. One may invest in several duvets in order to have a duvet wardrobe to choose from – they take up far less space to store than an actual comforter and you want at least two so one can be in use while the other is being cleaned.
Decorative pillows may be attractively arranged at the head of the bed on top of the comforter; this makes it easy to pull together a bed quickly and have the room looking good even on the busiest of mornings. Usually the decorative shams are used on pillows which are not used for sleeping; the daily use pillows can be placed either in front of or behind the decorative pillows.
