I bought an unnecessarily extravagant bedding set, and it looks great but it doesn't feel very practical. None of the other nice bedding sets I looked at really did either. My guess is that its meant only to look nice, so my question is I guess, traditionaly, what are all the pieces a bedding set could have and how are you supposed to use them? Am I supposed to have a separate comforter to actually use and roll the other one to the foot of the bed at night? ( I've seen people on tv that do that) it came with this coverlet thing, but its pretty and uncomfortable too...the sheets are really nice and comfy though ... so in the perfect and ideal setting, how would all of this function?
If your buying a complete comforter set it will include a comforter, a bottom sheet, a top sheet, one standard pillow case in a twin and full size, 2 standard pillows cases in a quenn size and 2 king pillow cases in a king size, some will also include pillow shams and bed skirt.
Starting with the box spring covered with a bed skirt, then mattress, then a mattress pad, fitted sheet, flat sheet, blanket. (appropriate weight for the season.) When the bed is made it is topped with a decorative comforter finished with throw pillows. The decorative comforter is the same as a bedspread in this case and is generally for show and should be removed before going to bed.
