How Long Do Comforters Last?

Our down comforters can last for at least twenty years, while you should be prepared to replace your down alternative comforter every four years or so. Because you sleep beneath the comforter, rather than on top of it like you do a mattress, this bedding piece is one you’ll count on for many years. Down clusters do eventually break down with regular use. Wear may be more prominent where the comforter rubs against you, such as at the shoulders, especially if you’re a restless sleeper who tosses and turns. Additionally, the comforter may wear out faster if you spend time resting on top of it, or if you have pets who share the bed—this contact crushes the down, which may cause it to wear down faster.
