<span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter', serif;">This may be a long post but for some it might be worth it.  Last summer we replaced our mega FL washer and dryer.  At that time my only concern was how I would occasionally wash our king size down comforter.  There are only two of us.  Most of our loads are not that big so I resigned myself to the fact that a couple of times a year I would be making a trip to the laundromat or dry cleaner.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter', serif;">Well, I discovered something really cool that I have never seen before.  Sleep Number has a comforter system designed for couples who have different needs when it comes to the weight of the down comforter they would use.  You basically buy two halves of a comforter in whatever weight you want and then button them together in the middle.  They also seem to be very well made.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter', serif;"> </span>

<span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter', serif;">While this is a great setup for those who want their own weight in down there is also a great side benefit.  You can unbutton it and wash each half separately.  We picked up one of these systems and I washed the two halves in my Miele washer one at a time.  They came out beautifully.  It took about 1 ½ hours on gentle to dry each half.</span>

<span style="font-family: 'American Typewriter', serif;">I’m really pleased with this system and thought I’d share for those who didn’t know this system existed.  Maybe this is a fairly common thing I don’t know.  I have never seen it before.  So, if you have the same challenge we had, check it out.  You can get them in Down and Down Alternative.   We went with the down in the medium weight.</span>

 
Thats a great idea Ralph.  With this in mind, I don’t know why you couldn’t also purchase 2 twin size comforters and sew buttons on the long side of one and sew button holes into the long side of the other and make you own detachable king comforter system for perhaps a lower cost.

Great idea Eddie

 

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">I honestly never really thought about it.  I was so excited when I saw these we went that route.  I was so focused on how to deal with a king size comforter and our washer that I never thought about buying two and some how connecting them.</span>
 
We have 2 x 4tog duvets

That are stuck together with poppers and when its hot I take them apart and can wash each one as and when needed.

Am also glad I have an 8kg Speed Queen washer with gas dryer as my 12 tog superking duvet will not fit in my household washer or dryer and the local launderette is closed...
