Flannel Comforter Slipcover

If you have a comforter on your bed that you can't wash easily, a flannel comforter slipcover will help you keep it clean.  This type of cover is also very cozy in the winter, because flannel is so nice and warm.  And if your comforter is flannel itself but is rather big and bulky and you want a different feel to your comforter, you can create a slipcover for it out of different materials for a different feel, such as crisp linen.

Slipcovers for comforters come in all materials, and a flannel comforter slipcover is usually inexpensive, durable, and machine washable so that it's very inexpensive to take care of.  Even though you won't spend a lot, this type of comforter slipcover will hold up over many years, and will simply get softer and more comfortable with each use.  Comforter slipcovers also come in many very attractive colors, so you can match just about any décor.  And if you want the look of a quilt, for example, but don't want to make one yourself (and still want to use your trusty comforter), you can buy this type of comforter slipcover with a patchwork look, so that you can still have the look of an old-fashioned homemade quilt, with all the comfort and ease of machine washable materials that are also very comfortable, lightweight, affordable and easy to store.

For best results, you could even buy two or more; this not only lets you change your look with just a change of your slipcover, but it lets you keep one slipcover on your comforter, to protect it from soiling or pet hair while the other is being washed.  That way, you can have a fresh clean comforter slipcover every time you change your bedding.  It will keep your comforter itself cleaner much longer, so that even if you have to wash it occasionally, you won't have to as often.

Do you sew? Then you can make your own comforter slipcover out of flannel or another material as well.  Simply buy your favorite material in your favorite pattern, measure your flannel comforter or other comforter, and make a "sack" for it.  Leave one end of your comforter slipcover open, and finish off the edges of the material.  Then make buttonholes and sew buttons on either side of the open end, and you can simply "button up" your favorite comforter into your very own homemade comforter slipcover.  You may also want to leave openings in the two bottom corners of the comforter "sack" you've made, so that you can simply reach in and pull the comforter edges through, then use specially made fasteners to fasten the bottom edges of your comforter into your comforter slipcover.  This will keep your comforter from bunching up inside your comforter slipcover, and will keep it nice and flat.

Imagine snuggling up under a cozy flannel comforter slipcover on those cold winter nights.  When you make it yourself or buy it, it's a very frugal way to spend just a few dollars and protect the investment you've made in your comforter.
