What is a Hawaiian comforter?

A comforter is a type of "super sized" blanket. Beach comforters are intended to keep the user warm, especially during sleep, although they can also be used as mattress pads. Tropical comforters are generally large and rectangular in shape, filled with natural or synthetic insulative material and encased in a shell/covering. Dean Miller's tropical comforters have a 100% cotton shell or covering over the fill to ensure the user a nice soft feel.

Comforter sizes usually correspond with mattress or bed sizes, typically mattresses are sold as twin, full, queen, and king. Comforter sizes run slightly larger than actual bed sizes to allow for draping over the sides of the bed. Typical sizes in the United States for comforters are (and Dean Miller Hawaiian bedding uses these same sizes)

•Twin = 64" Width x 87" Length
•Queen / Full = 87" Width x 87" Length
•King = 101" Width x 90" Length.

A comforter is sometimes covered with a duvet (comforter) cover for protection and prolonged use. Duvet is French for "Down". Comforter covers are like a big pillowcase for your comforter, usually closed with zippers or buttons. Dean Miller has etched their logo into it's own wood buttons to firmly hold your comforter in place. Some customers prefer duvets over comforters or bedspreads because they are easier to wash, and can be easily changed out to give your bedroom a completely new look.

So when you are feeling a little tropical be sure to pull your Dean Miller duvet cover out of the closet and make your room do the hula.
