I am considering purchasing a silk comforter .....are they typically used with a duvet cover or placed on a bed by themselves?

It is suggested that they are to be used with a duvet cover or with a blanket or coverlet placed over them; they will be easier to keep clean.

either, we are currently using ours without a cover, but we have another one that is covered

I used a duvet cover to make sure the comforter is clean. Just a habit and nothing special.

I actually have a comforter on the bed but not inside of the coverlet. It's under the coverlet and it makes it more luxurious. Living in Florida, I wanted the option of easily being able to take it off the bed if needed.

The duvet cover I bought at kohls had ties, but the comforter didnot have ties. That being said, I have never had trouble with comforters moving around inside duvet covers.

Some duvets have ribbon ties in the corners to keep the comforter in place. Mine does not. I just scrunch up the duvet like I would put on a king-sized pillowcase, and pull it up around the comforter. It stays pretty well, but to re-position, just hold by 2 corners and fluff the daylights out of it. If you have a king this takes 2 people. I don't have a problem with the shifting. I guess it depends on whether you move around a lot when sleeping. Good luck!

The All Season silk comforters we sell fits well with temperature range 58F to 75F and since it is made of silk filling it touches very soft and feel cozy as well. The Silk breathes so it won't cause you over-heated.Unfortunately it is not machine washable. Spot clean only. A duvet is suggested to protect the surface.

I watched one being made in china. Silk is stretched almost like a big spiderweb layer upon layer. Doesn't bunch like feathers or cotton filling. Do not wash it. Put in sun to help with odor it will have. Odor disapates. Keep a duvet cover on it. If you can budget for a pure silk duvet it is heavenly! WE WERE TOLD IN CHINA "DONT WASH." Just clean your duvet cover.

Absolutely! FYI...incase you didnt know...there are ties inside of the duvet cover..the ties are in all four corners of the the duvet...use those to secure ur comforter from shifting.

We have a comforter on top of the blanket, and it works fine. If you put a top sheet underneath a normal blanket, you should do the same with this blanket. No need for anything between the comforter and the blanket unless the comforter is made of some exotic material that doesn't like heat.

some duvet covers have strings at each corner that you can attach the duvet to, the duvet itself has little loops in each corner to attach the strings to. I have 2 different duvet covers, one from pottery barn that has strings and one from amazon that doesnt I dont have a problem with the one without strings, the duvet stays fine, just shake it from the bottom up and everything goes into place, hope this helps

i have a Murfy bed and the comforter gets enclosed in the bed in the morning. I would not be the right person to answer this question. I do fluff it when i open the bed, and it seems good enough for me.

You need a thicker type cover on real down/feather comforters to keep the feathers from poking through. Polyester is usually preferred on cheaper ones. It can be noisy, but comforters are supposed to be placed inside a duvet which muffles the sound and keeps them cleaner. Machine wash, do not dry clean as the chemicals will damage the feathers/down.

dear friend, this is a duvet cover, not include the comforter insert :)) And for this item, it's a flat sheet, not the fitted sheet, and we only have queen size now :( Sorry for that, on our store, have many 3D bedding, please take a look :))

I use it as a comforter goes on my top sheet... I really love it and for the price I really don't worry so much about it getting ruined.

Yes, I was afraid washing would ruin them. Let me know what your friends advise (thanks :) We just keep the covers on them and wash the covers, and air the duvets out in the open air (shade). Use flannel covers for winter and cotton covers for summer. Seems to work fine. Good luck with yours.

Yes, you can put it in duvet cover, it is not thick, but normal, warm and very very comfortable for winter. I enjoy it very much.You also can put it in covers from Ikea as I did and I think that is the best solution.

Interesting question. Generally I'd say 'I guess so' to the sheets, and 'No' to the comforters. I suppose if you laid a sheet out over the entire thing, it would be fine. If you tried to fold the sheet and hang it from one of the rods, it would probably be a little heavy and might snap the rods from their soldered joints. And it would almost certainly touch the floor. If it were me, I'd stick to a more traditional clothesline to hang sheets and blankets.
