Please help ....Is there such a comforter/bedding

18 years ago

Or should I just wake up from my dream. I want a lovely, yet fluffy and long-lasting comforter that is also machine washable. I have searched and searched and all the comforters that I have seen and really like have to be dry-cleaned. I have seen some amazing bedrooms here with very pretty bedding. I also do not want to deal with duvet covers. Where do you get your bedding and is it machine washable? BTW, I am new here and I just drool over all your lovely rooms. You all do a nice job.

TIA

My bedding is from JCPenney, Lands' End and Macy's.

All are machine washable.... sheets, comforters, quilts, throws.

Check the fabric content. Most ARE washable. They just print *dry clean only* to protect themselves I think. That way if someone washes it and it does not come out perfect they can't return it. If they send it to the dry cleaners and it does not come back perfect they can complain to the dry cleaners.

I've noticed that a lot of clothing says *dry clean only* too but it can be washed. I wash everything unless it is Rayon. (I learned that one the hard way. Three times.) Wool can be washed in cold water but avoid over agitating. Silk can be washed but need to be steamed to get out wrinkles.

Hi Rutty, and Welcome!

Do you have a pic of your room?

So you are looking for a machine washable comforter that doesn't need a duvet cover? Are you looking for solid or print? What color?

Hi Rutty. Congrats on the boys! I only had two and when they were younger, they liked to killed me! :)

Like you, I'm looking for nice bedding, but I want mine to be 100% cotton. Are you particular about that? I've tried the puffy blends but they are too hot for me. Give me a nice cool quilt.

I've had cotton quilts on my bed for the past 12 years. I've got several cotton quilts that are beautiful, but they say "country" to me and I'm trying to get away from that. Is there such a thing as quilts that aren't country? :)

I used to worry about dry clean only, but I realized that nothing fits into my washer anyway! Well, they FIT, but I don't think it washed properly because it was so full.

Wow! Thank you for the nice welcome and your responses. I was hoping to hear that some bedding that say dry clean can be washed too, but I was not sure of which fabric I could get away with, without making a costly mistake.

So sorry no pictures yet. I am looking for striped bedding in the gold/spice, green and red colors. Could even be solid. I like quilts too but I get so cold and was hoping the puffy comforter will do. I am hoping to make red my accent color. My favorite color is green tho!

I haven't looked at Lands End and will be looking there soon. Will post a picture of the curtains that I am kinda stuck to go with. Got them at Target on clearance. Now I am not so sure anymore, but can't return them so have to work with them. They are the Waverly flowerly ones with the gold/red tones.

Thanks again,
Rutty
