Ok so most people prefer comforters - but how often do these get cleaned?

A question I have often asked myself. We are usually so hot that we sleep with only a sheet, but when we need the comforter I always make sure the sheet is the only thing touching me[msnsmile2]

Another vote for comforters..I also use a sheet with mine.
My king size (queen size in US) fits in my washing machine.

I've not washed mine in nearly 6 years but then its mostly in the FL house for show..we use a sheet and blankets for sleeping..at home I have 3 so I always have one washed or drying
In the Villa - I have mine washed or cleaned twice a year (or more if needed!) At home it gets washed or cleaned at least 3 or 4 time a year - I have the same large American type washer and dryer at home as I do in the Villa and it takes a Queen size no bother. But they are all used with a sheet and not next to your skin!

It's comforters for us as well. We have them in the villa and have also brought some home for our bedrooms here in the UK. We have just renovated our main bedroom here in the UK and took small samples of wallpaper and carpet to the US on our last trip to make sure we got a perfect match. Managed to get a really fantastic comforter with lots of accessories to match including towels for the en suite. Looks fantastic!

I love the selection of comforters in the States. I have brought comforters home for myself, family & friends.
We usually fly with USAirways and get 2 pieces of check in baggage each (preferred members)
So most trips back I check in a comforter set - just brought my SIL back a fantastic set from Macys which was down from $350 to $99.

I have US king size comforter sets here in UK, I use and wash the sheet set regularly. The comforter I wash at the local launderette twice a year.
Now that we don't have a cat I decided to put a new Bed in a Bag on that I'd brought home some years ago. I'd been loathe to use it before as the cats were quite old and were no longer retracting their claws.
I took off my old quilt that had been on the bed for 12 years? My husband wanted me to throw it out but I decided to wash it again and store it as I still can't get used to the new one.
Every time I go over to Florida I look to see if they do the same style as it looks so clean a fresh, haven't been successful yet but still keep searching.
In Beds Bath and Beyond I bought a down comforter for around $100, I've also bought comforter covers. They don't have poppers like ones in UK and normally do up with large buttons.
The only thing I don't like with the bed in a bags is the platform valance. As I have a 6' bed I have zip and link mattress which I turn regularly. The valance rides up and I'm experimenting with cutting our the middle section so that the valance can run around the edge of the base. Just need to work out how to attach it.
