What is the difference between the 4-season Down Comforter and the Winter Down Comforter?
Aug 01, 2022
In winter, one can choose to use a single warm down comforter or a four-season comforter.
The four-season comforter essentially consists of two separate down comforters: one lighter comforter (considered summer) and one heavier comforter (considered autumn). The two comforters can be used separately in the mild seasons and joined together with special buttons to form a single warm comforter suitable for the colder seasons.
But what is the difference between using a four-season comforter or a winter comforter?
LEVEL OF WARMTH
The winter comforter reaches a higher level of warmth compared to a four-season comforter:
-
The winter comforter has 5 points of warmth.
-
The four-season comforter reaches 4 and a half points of warmth: it is made up of one summer comforter with 2 points of warmth + one autumn comforter with 3 points of warmth. However, since they are separate, some air may pass through, losing some heating power; this way it cannot reach the full 5 points.
The difference is obviously minimal, noticeable only in very cold temperatures. For those who still want a four-season comforter but face colder temperatures, Zenoni & Colombi offers the four-season PLUS comforter, made of one light comforter + one winter comforter to reach almost 6 points of warmth.
LIGHTNESS
The comfort felt by our body is greater under a single comforter compared to the feeling when dozing under a four-season comforter. Getting under a four-season comforter means having two comforters on top of you and therefore four layers of fabric. The feeling of lightness will be different: at the same temperature achieved, you will have a more comfortable weight on your body!
THE ADVANTAGES OF THE FOUR-SEASON COMFORTER
In terms of convenience, the four-season comforter allows you to lighten or strengthen your cover easily and quickly; just a simple gesture is enough to get a warmer or cooler comforter.
With the four-season comforter, there is also no problem of storage in winter since both comforters are in use and the heavy one will not need to be put away until the summer season.
