Comforter

[kartikoli]

Winter is coming so I'll need a blanket, my old cotton (Razai/Lihaf) needs some work so instead of going traditional way (buying new cover, cleaning and refilling cotton) I would like to buy something else like Comforter.

Are these good? Any recommendation would be helpful

I purchased this Wakefit comforter from Amazon last year. It's pretty warm and comfortable; however, it's useless in Ahmedabad's winter (which seldom gets below 10-11 degrees Celsius), even in December or January. But it will do the job for the North.
I tried using it in the AC, but it was too warm for me. Materials and stitching are quite good for the price.

I don't really trust youtube videos but a guy was saying to get 400-500 GSM for extreme cold so anything above 300 should be enough though the temp here doesn't go below 2~3C, in extreme case it would touch zero. I guess those 500 GSM would be for places like Kashmir.

If quality is good then I can try to get slightly higher GSM (300~400) for same company.

yes you can search for 300-400 but even this 220 is quite warm as per me. You can also visit their local store in your city.

Once you have used cotton, I am not sure you will like the synthetic ones. ( Long term cotton razai user)

They recommend to wash it before first use. Will it fit in an 8kg washer?

True, despite the name, comforters have this synthetic feel and slipperiness
Meanwhile the razai is true comfort and coziness

Summer or winter it's cotton razai all time.

Guys, stop wearing plastic and use only cotton. If might be expensive but much much better than sleeing in plastics !

Check DMart. They have some very good options there.

Fiber mixed razai which are quite light and warm have come in . They are not 100% cotton inside ofcourse

Razai is heavy

Hmm. I always thought heavy comforters are better for sleep. Many people are shifting to super heavy ones.

If anyone has tried these, please chip in.

I use fancy lightweight comforters that I bought from some chain store. Would dump them for a desi razai any day.

most people forget what is difference between real cotton and micro-fiber. In long term real cotton (kapas/kapus/rui/ruee) have good effect on health compare to micro-fiber (artificial kapas)

Yes they are mostly cheaper and not as hot as white cotton, I saw grey, brown cottons (maybe they are microfibers, I don't know) but we always use white one which is of best quality. Only thing I don't like in razai is cleaning, you can't clean it every season.

Cleaning was the main reason I wanted to switch
