Choose bedding by its dimensions and the way you use the bed. Check material and care instructions for each item. A product name alone does not establish the fabric, warmth or what is included.
Pillowcases and throw covers
Measure each pillow. Rectangular bed cases and square throw covers fit different shapes. Check whether the listing includes an insert, and whether a set contains two covers or shows two sides of one cover.
Duvet covers and comforters
A duvet cover goes around a separate insert. A comforter is a filled bed covering; check whether it is sold with a removable cover. Compare the listed dimensions rather than relying on the bed-size name alone.
Quilts, coverlets and blankets
Look at the construction and care label of the specific item. Decide how you want to layer it and how far it should hang over the bed. Make room to store layers you do not use at the same time.
Mattress covers and pads
Check the mattress dimensions and depth. Read the product’s stated purpose and washing directions. A decorative layer, fitted sheet and mattress protector have different jobs.
Before buying a set
List the pieces you need and compare them with the package contents. Check pillowcase quantity, sizes and any separate inserts. Keep the care labels so you can wash each piece as directed.
