But occasionally specific sets go on sale and then they'll offer extra percentage off sale items. I think that's when they discontinue certain colors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1949234 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:57:03 +0000 Anagram 1949234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarah.clarisse: how much off is the bedding sale, typically? More than 20%? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1949219 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:51:23 +0000 bunnylove08 1949219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the West Elm ones, i usually get them when they're on sale and they have an additional coupon off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1949170 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:31:55 +0000 BandDmommy 1949170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get all our linens through PB.

It's kind of a paisley patter. If I remember correctly. Posting from my phone now so I can't dig it up. It was on the cover of their fall catalog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1949153 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:25:18 +0000 catlady 1949153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to get the plain duvets from ikea and then dress it up with a duvet cover. I've had covers from Pottery Barn, Charter Club (Macys) and Dwell Studio (a super splurge) and I haven't had issues with any of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1949136 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 12:15:52 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1949136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have bedding from west elm. Including the blanket you show in the second picture. While I've been disappointed in their sheets I am really happy with their duvet insert, the blanket (it's super soft and worn in) and the pintuck style duvet cover.<br /> Just be sure you wait for their bedding sale! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1949045 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 11:52:22 +0000 PurplePumps 1949045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: They have this one right now that is dark blue, too floral?</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-palisades-comforter-and-duvet-cover-sets?ID=1488525&#038;CategoryID=7502&#038;LinkType=#fn=BRAND%3DCalvin%20Klein%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D42%26ruleId%3D%26slotId%3D15" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-palisades-comforter-and-duvet-cover-sets?ID=1488525&#038;CategoryID=7502&#038;LinkType=#fn=BRAND%3DCalvin%20Klein%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D42%26ruleId%3D%26slotId%3D15</a></p> <p>And this one, but its more grey with blue.

I have 3 king sized ones and only paid about $125 for each. The 3rd one was actually only $60, so I couldn't pass it up. If you don't need one immediately, I would just keep an eye out for them at Macys, different patterns go on sale pretty often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948779 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 10:09:27 +0000 LemonLong 1948779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's family has a bunch of company store comforters at their cabin that are probably at least 20-40 years old and look like new. They are so nice that I always want to steal them! I've been looking at springing for one for us for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948758 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 10:01:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 1948758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: for me it's been hit and miss. The duvets I have had are: Target (nice looking but not soft), Bed Bath and Beyond (ripped along the button holes), Ikea (ripped along button holes), Ikea (embroidery came undone after many washes), Ikea (got a little pill-y after many washes), and Ikea (plain and perfect). Haha. As you can tell, I went for look for a while and now I just go for comfort.. right now my favorite ones are the ones with the undone embroidery and pill-y! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948756 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 10:00:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1948756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your current - too - hot duvet reminds me of <a href="http://www.arhaus.com/search?keyword=duvet" rel="nofollow">http://www.arhaus.com/search?keyword=duvet</a> The slate color may work for you.</p> <p>Duvets can be so tricky when it comes to the insert. For our guest bed, I used a gray print duvet from West Elm and stuffed it with a bed-in-a-bag type comforter from BBC because it was the right thickness &amp; warmth I wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948748 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:58:05 +0000 Anagram 1948748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: @Mrs. Twine: thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948747 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:57:46 +0000 Anagram 1948747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: I definitely like that price.

I feel like I'm either finding good reviews on an ugly cover, or no reviews on a pretty duvet, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948738 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:55:03 +0000 Shutterbug 1948738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I have a lacrosse down comforter from Company Store and it's amazing and has lasted for 7 years without losing its fluffiness. Not sure if that's too hot/thick for you, though they do have different weights (even a 'tropical' one). For duvet covers, I like the one I have from LL Bean because it has the ties in the inside corners so that the comforter doesn't shift around inside. It's just plain because the prints weren't very stylish.</p> <p>ETA: ditto what @Mrs. Twine: said about Company Store customer service. I had a different comforter order that got lost in the mail, they sent another one, then the first one came a few days later and they told me to keep it. Free comforter! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948737 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:54:43 +0000 Mamaof2 1948737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I have a Threshold quilt that is soft and washes well but haven't seen the comforters in person - just vouching for the brand =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948730 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:53:11 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1948730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I love The Company Store! Their products are generally a good quality. I'm not 100% sold that it's the best value for your money (as in, I think you could get things just as nice cheaper somewhere else, probably), but they have good sales, and I appreciate their customer service. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948712 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:46:28 +0000 chopsuey 1948712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought 4 of these and looooove them so much.<br /> Soft, warm, machine washable and affordable!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TOVZSS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TOVZSS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-comforter-or-duvet#post-1948703 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 09:42:49 +0000 mrs. wagon 1948703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love using duvet covers so that you can change out the comforter inside.. thin for summer, thick and plush for winter!</p> <p>I absolutely love Ikea duvets.

But it's way too thick (WAY too hot in summer and even too hot for much of the winter) and the worst part is...even though it was an expensive comforter, it's made out of polyester. =( Which like, sticks to the callouses on our feet or on our dry hands in winter, and we just generally hate it.</p> <p>So lately, we've been using my husband's old bachelor pad comforter, which is a hideous shade of green and only a queen size, BUT is just the right weight and a supersoft 100% cotton calvin klein comforter.</p> <p>So now I'm looking for a 100% cotton comforter or duvet cover, that is super soft, in the dark blue/navy color family with a slightly modern look (no florals, no plaid, no totally solids). I saw some at West Elm that looked promising, but they were stiff and rough IRL.</p> <p>Suggestions? Pictures below are our current hated comforter and the coverlet we liked at West Elm (but that ended up being too rough).</p> <p>[attach=2976/14/nf8nwo.380x380.peacock-feathers-bedding-nicole-miller.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2976/14/nf8nwq.600x600.Coverlet.jpg] </p>
