So I bought two solid color thin alternative down comforters that we can use year round. It's light pale green and the other is ivory and it goes with the ivory/off-white sheets I own. We've had the same one for a couple years now. Also, I tried a duvet once and it was such a pain to keep straight. I saved at least $100 a year by making this switch. Oh, since it's a thin comforter (but still warm), it can easily go into our washer. No more trips to the laundry mat to wash or dry bulky king sized comforters.

Before on our queen I had a 2 duvets for the down comforter that I would rotate between guest room and master. One white, one a neutral. In the spring/summer I keep a coverlet/quilt on. Right now I'm on the hunt for a lightweight down duvet insert ShootingStar on "How often do you buy a new comforter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-a-new-comforter#post-2682107 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 10:48:40 +0000 ShootingStar 2682107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We end up changing ours every few years. When we first got together we were using my bed set which was for a queen. After we got married (maybe 2 years later?) we bought a king bed and got a new comforter. We used that one for a couple years but DH hated it because it's too hot for him (it's a very thick comforter plus duvet). I hated to give it up because it was pretty expensive, but a couple years ago we got a new comforter that's less warm. Over the course of seven years together we've had three comforters. But I would have preferred the first king last a lot longer. snowjewelz on "How often do you buy a new comforter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-a-new-comforter#post-2682088 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 10:36:51 +0000 snowjewelz 2682088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Been in our home for almost 4 years and we don't plan to replace any actual comforter since we always use a duvet cover (tho DH prob sweats through it... Eww). We'll wash our comforters every change of the season (we have summer and winter ones). I just bought new duvet sets over Thanksgiving b/c I am noticing a lot of yellowing (again mostly from DH's sweating!). But since I'm sleeping in the bed with a newborn that may spit up, blow out, etc I'm waiting to change to the new stuff for now. bushelandapeck on "How often do you buy a new comforter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-a-new-comforter#post-2682080 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 10:31:37 +0000 bushelandapeck 2682080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @PinkElephant: our room is neutral colors so the comforters are different. I'm not a crazy pattern/color person though so they are also pretty nuetral! Maybe I'm just boring. :wink: mrswilson2012 on "How often do you buy a new comforter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-a-new-comforter#post-2682049 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 10:12:31 +0000 mrswilson2012 2682049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We buy a new one every year.

DH suggested having a few and rotating, but I feel like I'll have to be sure to make other decor in the room really neutral to do that....

I've had a duvet cover on it for a year, but hated how it fit, so back to the regular. I plan on getting new bedding once our house is complete. I use the "under" side of it which is a brown-gray instead of the pattern on the other side right now, since I've grown tired of that.

I don't think we will replace either anytime soon. We only have a queen size now, but I bought king siE covers because we plan to upgrade soon. I do need to get a replacement sham and may get king size when I do it- I bleached one of the sham covers with benzoyl peroxide once 😭 Next up is buying quality comforters for the kids. avivoca on "How often do you buy a new comforter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-a-new-comforter#post-2681962 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 08:42:20 +0000 avivoca 2681962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've had my quilt for seven years now. I still love it, but the edges are getting threadbare. nana87 on "How often do you buy a new comforter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-a-new-comforter#post-2681958 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 08:37:49 +0000 nana87 2681958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We've had the same comforter since our wedding (it was a gift) so more than 5 years but we don't use it all the time-- dh runs pretty hot. We have a quilt from West Elm that we just replaced after maybe 4 years or so because it was starting to get really worn out bushelandapeck on "How often do you buy a new comforter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-a-new-comforter#post-2681955 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 08:34:57 +0000 bushelandapeck 2681955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We got a new set for our wedding 5+ years ago and I mainly use it still! I have rotated and bought a couple of others but I just don't love any of them like I do the one we have so I keep coming back to it.

It's still in good shape though, so I don't see us getting a new one anytime soon. Especially because we have an "older" dog. I think next time we might get a comforter though....I'm tired of "stuffing" the thing and would much rather just throw the whole thing in the washing machine.

So I'm not sick of ours yet, either.

I've surprised myself that I haven't grown tired of it yet lol. youboots on "How often do you buy a new comforter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-buy-a-new-comforter#post-2681897 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 00:01:28 +0000 youboots 2681897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually find a new set every other year and rotate a little. We use a duvet cover. Recently I got one from marimekko at the anniversary sale in June and have not used any others.

I'm buying all new linens because we upgraded to a larger bed, as am struggling to find something I really like. So I'm wondering how long I'm stuck with my choice if I just settle and buy something! :) I think we'd had our previous duvet cover sets for 3 years. I wasn't tired of it yet and it was still in good shape. Before that, we had a quilt whose life was cut short at about 2 years by a cleaning lady vacuuming it (it shredded) and a comforter set that I donated when we went from a full to a queen bed.
