Measure your bed before you buy a comforter if you are unsure of its size. Below is a guide of the typical bed sizes:
Twin or Single - 39" wide x 75" long
Twin XL - 39" wide x 80" long
Double or Full beds - 54" wide x 75" long
Queen - 60" wide x 80" long
King - 76" wide x 80" long
Comforters are generally filled with layers of polyester batting. The "loft" of the filling will determine the "fluffiness" and physical size of the comforter as well as the insulating ability.
Stitching patterns or quilting helps secure the filling inside the comforter and helps it stay evenly distributed.
Thread count refers to the number of threads per inch used to weave the fabric covering of a comforter. More expensive fabrics have a higher thread count (over 250) while cheaper muslins have a low thread count (in the 100's or low 200's). Higher thread counts mean that the fabric will be softer, more luxurious to the touch, and will often last longer.
Your comforter should not only be functional, it should be beautiful. They come in colors and designs to please every taste.
Some comforters are made with contrasting fabrics on each side. Use this feature to get a summer and a winter look for your bed by just reversing the comforter.

Down comforters are filled with natural down feathers. A cozy down comforter will provide exception warms and comfort compared to most other fill types. However down alternatives maybe more suitable if you suffer from allergies.
When purchasing a down comforter you should look at the fill power and fill weight. The fill power describes the quality of the fill; higher fill power means better insulation and breathability. The fill weight is the amount of actual filling that goes into the bedding. The higher the fill weight, the warmer the comforter; a high fill power means less fill weight is required to keep you warm.
