Do you change between quilts and comforters with the seasons?

[Elisa]

Hello everyone! 😊

I would like to open this new post with a quote from Henry Beston, a writer and naturalist: 

“The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from summer cotton into its winter woods.”

Since we’re talking about new seasons and changes, have you ever thought about switching between quilts and comforters as the seasons change?

I think it’s a simple way to enhance comfort and create a cozy atmosphere. 

• Lightweight quilts are fantastic for warmer months, keeping things breezy while adding a bit of charm to your space. 

• When the temperatures drop, a plush comforter makes all the difference, wrapping your guests in warmth. 

I am wondering if you switch your bedding with the seasons or if you prefer to stick with one option year-round. Have you ever had guests who shared feedback about comforters and bedding?

I look forward to reading your thoughts! 

Warm regards 🌻,

@Elisa We use two different types of duvets for our bedding. A lighter one for the warmer months, and a warmer one for the colder months. 

We source our duvet from Ikea.

Hi @Zheng49 😊, 

Thank you for your comment! It’s always a pleasure to read your tips!

Are your guests happy with this choice? Has anyone ever complained about it? Perhaps they found it not warm enough, or too warm?

@Elisa I always change between cotton blankets with a lighter coverlet to thermal blanket and heavier coverlet depending on the season

Hi @Basha0 😊,

Thank you for sharing your approach here!

You are very organized, I am impressed. What kinds of seasons do you have in your area?

Warm regards🌻,

@Elisa We never changed the duvets by season. Not least because there are maybe only a couple of weeks where it gets really hot in the UK and they occur randomly between May and October.

Hi @Mike-And-Jane0 😊, 

Thank you for sharing your approach in the community.

That's interesting! Have you ever had a complaint from a guest about it being too warm?

Change blankets and comforters, but the large quilts are costly to get cleaned and they need to be in a commercial washer and dryer.   Searching for a heating blanket encasement similar to what we currently use on the mattresses.   A removable encasement would allow for quick turnarounds.   Anyone have a suggestion on where we might find one.  Thanks.

Hi @Greg2406 😊, 

I really appreciate your comment!

I’m curious, are you struggling to find a removable encasement?
