Choosing the right size is a simple step. First decide on an approximate preferred length of drape. Once you have a general idea on your preferred length of drape, subtract the bed dimensions from the comforter dimensions to determine the drape. Find the comforter size that best matches your desired comforter drape.

Selecting a comfortable comforter weight is a bit more tricky. Just like the amount of clothing a person needs for maximum warmth, the type of comforter that suits you best depends on many factors such as personal body temperature (health condition, age, etc.), area where you live (along the coast and high elevations are colder), room temperature (indoor heater setting), and amount of sleepwear you wear. For your reference, the following chart suggests the types of comforter most suitable for various room temperatures.
