The Most Comfy Types of Comforters in 2022

Comforters help make our bed extra cozy by providing extra warmth on top of our sheets. With so many different kinds of fabrics, picking the right one can take time and effort. We have researched the comfiest types of comforters in 2022 to help you decide which is right for you.

Bamboo Bedding

Bamboo bedding is great to consider for hot sleepers. The material wicks moisture, keeping you cool throughout the night and making them among the comfiest types of comforters to try this year. It also helps those who are prone to allergies. Even with these amazing qualities, bamboo is still soft and comfortable.

However, ensure you research how often you should clean your bamboo bedding to make the most of its longevity. Good maintenance will help it last for years. Bamboo also leaves a smaller carbon footprint on the environment, so it’s ideal for people who want to purchase eco-friendly products.

Down Comforters

Down comforters also contain components that help them wick moisture and combat allergens. Plus, many people love the lightweight qualities of this kind of comforter. While down comforters won’t weigh you down, they still do a wonderful job of keeping you cozy throughout the night.

However, since down comes from birds’ feathers, it raises animal welfare issues. Additionally, even though it has hypoallergenic properties, some people may be allergic to feathers, so keep that in mind when considering this type of comforter. Quality down is costly, but many people find this classic comforter worth the price.

Cotton Comforters

Like bamboo and down, cotton feels super soft to the touch and works great as a comforter. Most use it as a popular alternative to down since it’s natural and good for the environment.

While you can find inexpensive cotton comforters, we recommend spending a little more to ensure better quality. While it possesses moisture-wicking qualities, it performs less well than bamboo in this arena, though it’s still a worthy competitor. Like bamboo, you also want to pay attention to the washing instructions, as cotton has the propensity to shrink when washed or dried at hot temperatures.

We hope you enjoyed reading about our favorite kinds of comforters. Are you going to choose one of the natural fabrics or opt for the luxurious down? While personal preference comes into play when you consider comforters, we’re sure one of these choices will help you get a night of restful sleep.

Product Review - Wireless Alarm Kit

Security systems are one of those weird things you don’t know if you need or not. And even if you feel you should have one, they seem expensive, complicated and necessitate a monthly commitment. However, recent advancements in technology have led to a rise in do it yourself alarm systems. Some new products use your smartphone to monitor your home with real time video while others offer basic services. Sabre’s Wireless Alarm Kit is a popular option for those looking for a simple DIY solution. The alarm offers three modes Off, Chime or Alarm. Chime mode allows you to hear the kids come home or more importantly if they are sneaking out. Be aware the alarm decibel level is loud. I mention this to advise caution when setting up and operating. If you have never had an alarm system before it can take some getting used to the new habit.

The kit comes with a main unit and three door/window sensors. The battery powered sensors easily stick to windows and door (with adhesive similar to those found in baby safety items so be aware of the paint finish). Unlike wired systems because of the battery power you will need to pay attention to the low battery light. The main unit uses a 4-digit PIN to arm and turn off. As with anything that affects the whole house make sure every family member is aware and on board especially if you have never had an alarm before. Additional information about alarms can be found here and here.

Product Review - HangerJack

Organizing products typically over promise and are often simply too good to be true. Keeping that in mind we also dislike anything that hangs on doors or sticks out.

However, HangerJack’s Gator rack is a welcome solution for awkward items. We see a lot of challenges in the laundry room, especially in the drying area. Since hanging items aren’t cleaned all the time the normal solution is usually temporary, the drying rack. Yet, the drying rack still needs to live somewhere when not in use and it is not a great shape for storage. The Gator mounts to the wall and extends only when needed. Holding up to 50 pounds the arm goes out 24 inches. They mention areas of use including garages and decks, but I feel the Gator offers an easy solution in the laundry room. We see a lot of small spaces like NYC apartments or condos without laundry rooms and anything that creates space quickly is a welcomed improvement especially if it is easy to use. At the end of the day if a product isn’t easy to use you won’t. As an aside, while I was writing this I just figured out while it is called the Gator.

Shelf and Refrigerator Liners

Unsung Heroes

A question our prospective clients often ask has to do with cleaning and if we do it. We are not a cleaning service, but in reality, we aren’t going to place items back on a shelf or in a pantry without a little light dusting or a quick wipe down. In that regard, we often find old or dirty shelf liners that need replacing.

Con-Tact Grip Ultra Shelf and Drawer Liners

In our experience, these work well. They are non-adhesive which is a plus especially if you have ever tried to remove an old liner that has merged with a shelf to form an alien life form. However, the major selling point is that they can be cut easily to fit any size shelf.

Refrigerator Liners

We have organized our share of refrigerators in our time and the shelves get dirty and in a unique way. Honey, syrup and mystery goo can be hard to remove plus the alarm goes off in your ear if the door is open too long. These liners can also be cut to fit which is a huge plus. In addition to protecting the shelves, they absorb moisture to keep those veggies crisp.

Heavy-Duty Shelf & Storage Liners

Often we encounter metal shelves in the attic, basement or garage and items can fall through the cracks. Plastic liners work really well to ensure loose items can be placed worry free on any utility shelf. They also can be cut to size and also work in the laundry room or any closet with wire shelves. If you have ever dropped items behind the washer and dryer you know the importance of getting things to stay in the proper place.
