When decorating your bedroom the one thing that can make the largest impact is a new comforter cover. This is the decorative bedding that goes onto of your bed that ads warmth and style to your home decor. Here are 5 Tips to Buy Comforter Covers that if fallowed, the result will be a great looking room at a price that is very affordable.

1) Know Your Personal Style

Your own personal style is the first thing you must consider. There are thousands of different comforters for sale from contemporary to traditional. Bright edgy colors like lime green to more rich neutral colors comprising of browns, tans, beiges and the new neutral gray tones. Selecting to style is easy if you know what you like. Interior Designers always suggest clients to browse through magazines and see what stands out to them. Write down the characteristics that are of interest and compile cut outs of the pictures as examples. Now sit down and look at all the different styles and find the common ground.  Normally you will find for example, most comforter covers that you like are geometric with brighter colors including lime green and tangerine tones. This combo lends itself towards the contemporary family. Now you can go shopping with confidence, knowing what you like.

2) Furniture for your Comforter Covers

The second tip to use when you want to buy a comforter cover is to know how it will be used on the bedroom furniture. There normally are 3 different types of beds that bedding goes on. First is the platform bed. This style has a simple headboard with no footboard, but may have a pedestal holding up the mattress. Most platform beds do not use box springs. This type of bed will allow a free flowing bedding cover to be placed on top without a lot of structure. Some Interior Designers like to tuck in the comforters into the pedestal for a more tailored look.

Another style is the headboard with foot board style. The full headboard and footboard style of bedroom furniture requires a bedding cover to be placed on top, but must be able to be tucked in next to or around the corners of the furniture. Being the most used type the head board and foot board styling comes in all fashion types from contemporary, traditional, retro and transitional and alows for many different types of bedding to be used.

Finally, the last kind of bedroom furniture that is used is the standard headboard and metal frame.  Mostly used in children furniture, metal brass or chrome styled furniture or just simple designed pieces.  Any comforter cover no matter contemporary or traditional can be used with it.

3) Sizes of Comforters

Here are the standard comforter cover sizes and what they are called:

Some manufacturers are currently either adding a few extra inches OR shaving inches off of these "standard" sizes. Understand the exact size of the mattress you decide to purchase and how fitted sheets may not fit correctly on non-standard sized mattresses.

** Please note that mattress depths may vary widely by manufacturer. Measure the depth of your mattress before purchasing a comforter. Standard and older mattresses average 9-12", while newer pillow-top mattresses are 14-16" deep and up. These deeper mattresses will require additional comforter depth so that it covers the mattress completely. Be especially careful about very fluffy comforters such as those filled with down. These tend to puff out the fabric so there is much less coverage than the dimensions listed on the package.

4) Prices of Queen Size Comforters

When pricing out new bedding for your home, always look at the lowest price and use that to compare. Many retailers today will tell you that you are getting a great sale, clearance, overstock, or 60% of retail discount. But in reality that does not matter, all that matters is what the final price is. Queen size bedding for a comforter can range from $69.00 to over $1000 for a custom piece. But realistically, if you want a designer 11 piece queen size set your price can range from $199 to $499. Those prices are sale prices at most large retailers.
