What is a Down-Alternative Comforter?

Down alternative comforters use synthetic fill fibers designed to mimic down clusters made of real feathers. Most synthetics used in down alternative comforters are also completely hypoallergenic and will not cause allergies, as long as they are kept clean.

Due to their design, down alternative comforters require more fill to match the same warmth that natural down provides, so they are generally heavier than a similar comforter filled with actual down. It’s also important to note that synthetic fibers gradually break down, regardless of how well they are cared for and how often they are washed

Our down alternative bedspreads come with warmth ratings (like light warmth, all season warmth and even maximum warmth) that allow you to choose exactly the right kind of comforter for you. You'll find affordable down alternative comforters at Kohl's. 

What is Thread Count & Why is it Important?

Thread count is the number of threads woven into a square inch of a comforter or bed sheet. The finer the thread, the higher the thread count, and the smoother and lighter the fabric will feel. To sum it up, thread count on a comforter is an indicator of the quality and texture.

High-quality comforters have a thread count of at least 200, but there are even some luxury comforters that offer higher thread counts than that, typically in the 400-600 range, that result in weaves that are almost guaranteed to prevent any of the fill from escaping, as well as offering unmatched comfort and a luxurious feel. You'll find the best brand for soft comforters at Kohl's. 

Washing & Caring for a Down-Alternative Comforter

Another added benefit of choosing a down-alternative comfort is that it’s easy to care for right at your own home! That said, washing and caring for it in the right way can make it last longer and keep you warm each and every night!

Load the comforter into your washing machine and select the water temperature as directed in the care instructions. If you’re unsure of the instructions, wash the comforter on a gentle or delicate cycle using cold water. Use a minimal amount of mild detergent, as using too much detergent may reduce the softness of the down comforter.

To dry, put the comforter into your dryer, tumble drying it with no heat. Add a tennis ball into the dryer as well to help keep the fill moving and drying evenly. Remove the comforter after it is fully dried - you may even need to line dry the comforter a bit longer to ensure complete drying. If the comforter does not fully dry, mold may form.

So if you're dreaming about a new down alternative comforter, make your dreams come true - shop at Kohl's!
