Needing A Little Comfort

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Launderess, yes that can be the case, but slower drying can help moisture evaporate more evenly from within the down/batting. F&P's Intuitive dryer has a programmed LifeCycle for Bulky items, which runs at low temperature and "more-dry." I can get the same effect on my dryer (which isn't the Intuitive model) by manually choosing the equivalent settings, and it does seem to work better on quilts/blankes and my queen-size comforter. I typically let the cycle run to finish (reverse tumble minimizes the need to rearrange frequently), then rearrange once and run it again at the same settings for a quick-fix of any remaining damp spots (auto-sensor makes for minimal run-time on the recycle). When drying pillows, I do them one at a time, on low temp and a couple times through at the maximum 80-min timed cycle.
 
Washing Comforters

I have Duvets, they get washed occasionaly, when needed,or stained when hosting pizza parties in bed,etc. The comforter they cover is big, thick and too unruly for any domestic machine to actually rinse and clean well, so a yearly trip to the laundromat in a high capacity machine is well worth it. I think that a lot of people dont use top sheets anymore,or sleep on the top sheets and have the comforter touch their skin. A duvet is a nice way to keep things clean. A comforter is more like an upolstery item than a weekly laundry item
