This video shows how Ana home launders her bulky dark blue comforter with her new washing machine. Just goes to show how far technology has come….I would never have dreamed of washing a comforter myself at home!
Have you ever had an idea and no matter what you just have to go with it?
That happened to me when I got my heart set on a new theme for my bedroom and part of that was having a black comforter. I was so excited and started getting everything ready straight away. I’m one of those people that can’t wait, so I went to our local department store to get my comforter!
Well, you should have seen some of the looks I was given when I asked for a full size, black comforter set!
Do you want a floral design with that, or how about another color on the flip side….No thanks, just solid black, both sides would do.
Well, they didn’t have any and couldn’t suggest where I could get one, so with my new makeover waiting for me, I hit the net and started searching. eBay ended up being the best option for me…they had a lot of stock and all the standard sizes available.
I’ve taken the liberty of displaying a few of their listings in case you too are looking for a solid black comforter. Take a look below and see what you think!
It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about clothes, furniture or bedding, combining these 2 colors is almost certainly a winning move!
Traditionally, black and white together is viewed as a more mature color scheme, so when you want to select a twin comforter that’s black and white it’s important to balance they style with the age (and sex) of your child.
There are many quality materials to choose from and lots of different designs. Some ideas that may suit your child and their bedroom are:
black and white comforter with green or yellow highlights
white comforter with large black flowers
black and white paisley comforter
black and white comforter with hibiscus flowers
pink, black and white comforter
black and white comforter with red roses
black, white and turquoise comforter
just to name a few!
Most teenagers, don’t like plain, so this is an opportunity to really bring out your creative side. As you can see just from the short list above there are many, many possibilities that will suit the fussiest child.
Take a browse on eBay below…they have hundreds of black and white twin comforters for sale and your bound to be able to find something that you like and probably at a great price as well.

I have searched all over the net and in the shops for a Tom and Jerry twin comforter and haven’t been able to find one!
I think the franchise is too old now (all the golden oldies are going by the wayside) and no one is making Tom & Jerry stuff anymore.
My kids are still little, and I was surfing on Youtube and showed them some cartoons (which is why they wanted a comforter). They just loved them and it was so nice to see some good old fashioned fun again.
Just for the fun of it, I thought I would post a Tom & Jerry video here so you can reminince a bit as well. Please leave a comment below if anyone does know where I can get a Tom and Jerry twin comforter.
Finding used Disney’s Lion King bedding that is in good, clean condition is probably pretty difficult. I would suggest that your best bet would be to search thrift or ‘op’ shops in your local neighbourhood.
It’s been quite a few years now since The Lion King was released and not as easy to find this merchandise as it once was.
If you prefer to look online, you may have better luck getting the bedding you want on eBay. I just did a search on eBay for ‘used disney’s lion king bedding’ and came up with the following items available:
(If you don’t see anything here, then there’s none on eBay at the moment)

If there’s not many ‘used’ items available, you may actually find some real bargains on eBay for ‘new’ Lion King bedding items. I did another search for new items and found these ones below:

How to design your own comforter online is really just a matter of getting your creative juices flowing and get your mouse clicking!!
First though, I thought it would be an idea to show you how a comforter is ‘traditionally’ made. This is a video of a Chinese man making a comforter the old fashioned way by hand!
Ok, it’s time now to have a go at creating your own design which you can use to customise your own comforter or you can use the design and order a specially made comforter for your requirements…
You can add a border across the top or along all four sides of your comforter
Further customize by adding large buttons as accents on the comforter.
Add a thread pattern with a high-tech sewing machine or use an embroidery machine to add messages, favorite sayings, flowers, patterns, or other designs as a border or throughout the comforter.
Cut blocks of material or shapes like circles or hearts to create your own customized mosaic or pattern.
Really, the options are only limited by your imagination and the amount of effort you want to put in.
So, there you have it…now you know how to make a comforter!
Design Your Own Comforter Online
To really get you started, and for more design ideas and projects to create check out this book from Amazon.com – see the great review below:
“I sewed my first duvet cover last summer and ran into a few problems. The book I was using advised me to make the duvet a bit smaller than the comforter so it would be full and fluffy – not a good idea! Lumpy is a better way to describe the result. So when I picked up Carol’s book, I looked first to see what she advised (same size). This gave me faith that her other ideas would work well.
Carol’s approach is playful and fun, suggesting that you use different but coordinating fabrics to cover each hard-backed chair in a dining room, or sew panels to hang around your bed. The projects cover a broad range from duvet covers to a variety of pillows to curtains and lamp shades, plus slip covers for futons and even wing chairs.
I didn’t give this book a five because some of the pictures felt dated – it’s always wonderful to be able to luxuriate in beautiful pictures – plus some of the instructions assume more knowledge than some people may have.
For example, when fitting pieces to the wing chair, she advises the reader to use darts or tucks where appropriate. Oh, really. Nothing more to say on that? I checked the basic sewing guide at the beginning of the book. No mention there of darts or tucks. Nor do these two terms appear in the cursory one page index. I have personally sewn a few darts in my life, so I’m sure I could figure this out assuming I get my hands on a nice affordable wing chair in need of covering, but some readers may need to have a general sewing reference book on hand to help out with the details of technique.
Still, anyone with a minimal amount of sewing experience should get his or her money’s worth out of this book, and be pleased with what they create for their home.”
A hot pink zebra comforter can look absolutely awesome in a girls bedroom…..
provided it’s done right!
I mean, let’s face it, you don’t really want to have to put sunglasses on just to walk into your bedroom do you?
I’d suggest to start with neutral color walls, with one feature wall in a lime green (make sure it’s not too bright a green), this will look fantastic with a hot pink zebra comforter.
You can then accessorise with lamps and cushions, curtains/drapes etc to create a real impact, without the colors being too lairy.
See below some of these pink zebra comforters and you will start to get an idea on just how great your bedroom can look, without too much effort really!
Good luck and I’d love to hear some comments letting me know about your finished project….
