I'm a quilt person too, hate messing with bulky comforters!

Same!

Fabric content is number one, tied with reviews on functionality over time!

I look at what the material is first…always!

The Farmhouse set was my favorite. So simple and calming.

Within the last month or so, I've purchased the Bedsure sets in five different colors for the little people in my household, along with a set for my spouse and I. Every set washes well and is soooooo soft!! And it was not expensive at all.

I have only 2 sets because I prefer the linen and yes it is expensive. You can dress it up in different ways with throws etc. I love this format for a video! 😊 I like to see what other people buy ...

What a unique idea approach it this way with others’ purchases!

Well, you did a super job…been waiting for this. My concern is wear, feel, and color. Since my king bed is on risers, I need an extra long bed skirt (tailored) I want a trailered quilt that doesn’t wrinkle. I also need king pillow shams along with those euro shams because I have those as well. I like the sets that include two small decorative coordinate throw pillows. I have a print with large squares of butterflies and birds (rust, brown, ecru, and aqua) Ordered my complete set from a catalog called 7th Avenue for $158.00 on sale. I use a smaller comforter underneath the quilt to give it a puffier look! I know my description sounds tacky, but it really has a rich deep look. (I raise butterflies🥰) I love all the bedding your sister and daughters purchased, and hope those items hold up well.

I do want my linen to match my color scheme. However, I am currently leaning toward cotton because it breathes better, a big must for me when I sleep.

I jave found microfiber sheets pill and they are synthetic, which does not breathe. I love high quality cotton they just get softer and softer.

I liked the last one the best of all three.

Definitely looks but thread count and deep pockets 😉👏🥰

I personally like bamboo sheets...as for the blankets, I first go to the size and pick from there. I have a California King bed and I don't know anywhere but online to find it

Leslie, this was such a fun video! Loved how the girls all picked totally different bedding. They all were very attractive. My main criteria is always how it looks and it must be machine washable. I love it when I'm able to find a deal like Makayla's bedding where you get everything making it a no brainer. Love easy!

I like the quilts because they are lightweight. However, they tend to shrink when you wash them so I buy a king size for my queen bed.

Nice informative video. I enjoy your videos. I’m lucky cuz I started quilting a couple of years ago, so I make my own bed quilts. I almost have one for every season. I’m working on mySpring/ Summer one now.

I first go for looks. Then I check how to clean it, if not washable and dryer , gone. I always read reviews on everything I buy. Something I really want and bad reviews , gone. I especially like the first and last sets your daughters bought. Thanks for this comparison and hints on bedding ❤❤

Love this video!! The first thing I look for is fabric! I cant stand microfiber or any similar fabrics, I just hate the way it feels!! Next is obviously the style! I have to have 100% cotton which does tend to be significantly more expensive but to me its SO worth the splurge! 😊

With mattresses so thick now. I go for deep pockets first

I'm like Kelsey. The fabric is most important to me. A better quality fabric always makes the bedding look more luxurious. Microfiber sheets are hot and feel icky. The price has to be the reason the the Bedsure is a best seller.

I'm drawn to "prints" instead of "solids" when I choose bedding. I think it's because it offers a little more "variety" so I can enjoy it for a longer period of time before I want to "change it out" and get something different.

Wow, you did amazing, when I change my bedding i have to stop half way through to have a break LOL. We don't have that kind of quilt in England, we have duvets which are much more puffier, then we have a duvet cover (like a huge pillow case) that the duvets go in, I've had many comment from Americans saying we must be dirty by not having a sheet between us and the 'quilt' but the duvet cover is our sheet and it is changed weekly and a clean set put on, what you are using there is a quilt which we would use for decoration, just to make the bed look pretty x x

I don't like to bother with dust ruffles/bedskirts, so I buy a king size comforter for my queen mattress. That way it's long enough to cover the frame underneath. I also prefer bedding that's not too pouffy, because I need to be able to stuff it into my washing machine to avoid exhorbitant washing cost at the cleaners. I love that you can change the whole look of a room, or reflect the seasons, just by changing your bedding 🙂

King-size beds.... I've got a beef against the sizing of most king-size sheets and bedspreads. After 28 years of sharing a bed with a hubby who likes to roll like a burrito in his sheets, I finally found that California King is the only way I'll ever wake up with a sheet on me.

I have reached a point in my life where my sheet selection is not only based on comfort, but the pattern. The pattern HAS to have a correct side up that is easily distinguishable i.e. flowers, stripes, animals or I really don't care. The reason is that I can do without the frustration of trying to figure out which corner goes where. I know some sheets have it marked in the corner, but I don't want to even bother looking for that. The absolute height of laziness, I know, but making the bed is so much quicker now and I can smile through it. I thoroughly enjoyed your video, Leslie and your smiling, positive demeanour. You are wonderful.

I go for high thread count that makes the difference in comfort 🍀

Cotton (preferably percale), color/decor style, reviews. Wrinkles don't bother me and I like crispness that comes with precale. Live in Florida and weather is hot. Cotton is important.

First, I look for style and design, followed closely by high thread count 100% cotton. Then I go to reviews to see how the bedding has stood up for others' usage. This was a fun video to watch because you showed very different attitudes in the choices.

What I look for first in bedding is material. I am a fan of 100% cotton. We don’t have a set color scheme in the bedroom, so when I feel like a change, I enjoy perusing whatever comes up randomly on Amazon, take screenshots of what I like, and then narrow down the choices. It’s exhausting but fun to change things up a bit ☺️

To full of creases, not a neat look!

Quality, size for a thicker mattress and then looks. Eastern Accents is my favorite brand.

We recently switched from a comforter to a quilt. Perfect for this time of year!

Love quilts and cotton for sure...Inhte microfiber

I’m totally with Kelsey! My bedding needs to be white or calm, soft and comfortable is a must so either Cotten or linen or some natural fiber . No silk or polyester👎I would rather invest an use the same for years

Looks fabric..very close then price. Enjoyed seeing 3 styles

This was a fun video. It was funny how you were putting the last quilt on the bed and I thought I would’ve put it the other way. 😂

Comfort first. I love a print on a white background. I think the white keeps it looking fresh. If it's on sale, then that's even better😊

I guess I start with colors and size. Then I look for coverlets or something light in weight. I don’t use my comforter either for sleeping and I do a designer bed with layers. I look for something that will cover the sides of the bed so I measure. I hate to pull it longer on one side that everyone sees and then it’s short on the other side. Affordability comes in to play. I am not spending 100’s of dollars on bedding. I think good quality does not have to be high priced. I read reviews and make sure I can wash it because I have messy fur babies. Lol. Shew that was a lot I didn’t realize that I would take in to account.

Great info on choosing bedding. Fun to watch!

Great info for purchasing bedding 👍👍 Thank you

My first consideration in bedding is fabric, cotton or percale only. I find micro fiber suffocating and very hot. Then, of course, design.

Loved the style of this video! Well, I love all of your videos! But it was super fun to see what the the girls and your sister ordered! Great idea Leslie!! Sending all my love all the way from southwest Florida! ❤

How fun😂 Color and quality for me, I also roll my comforter down at night and use other bedding for cover etc.

Cool idea!

I use Brookline for my bedding so I don’t need to learn about Amazon bedding, but I watch every video Leslie puts out to help support the channel & her & Jason ❤ Edit- after watching this I am so impressed with what is available on Amazon that the next time I need bedding I think I will save myself the money & go for one of these sets. Thanks Leslie!! 😊

I go for style and color first then if its lien or cotton or cotton blend. I only buy quilts not a fan of a bedspread. Just my choice. I have 2 homes so in the winter I am in Florida so I want something lite weight. I do take them off at night as we have a thin blanket on the bed also. In the summer we are in Pennsylvania so I still like quilts for my bedding. Still I go for color and style always. I love blue so that's what I normally pick and most of them are light blue and white small print nothing to busy. I have 5 bedrooms total in the 2 homes so I always pick something better quality because i don't want to buy new each year. We are building a new home in Florida at this time so I will be buying new ones for that home. That is only because we sold are other home in April the buyers wanted to buy all are furniture and bedding so I agreed to sale it to them so I didn't have to put it in storage. It will be fun and nice to have something new.for this new home. This is the second new built home in 3 year's. I told my husband we are not doing this again this is are last home. My parents (father) built homes him self so I have moved my parents 31 times so I am really sick of packing. Most of the times it's only been personal belongings as most people see your furniture and ask to purchase it also.

I like 100% cotton duvet covers, which I pair with a good quality insert from Garnet Hill or Pottery Barn, etc. I sew ties to both the inside of cover and ties to the insert to avoid shifting. One very important thing can be buying high quality super expensive duvet covers pre-owned because they can easily be washed. Also, it allows you to change things up without having to wash a big comforter!

I have a comforter like the black and white striped one from target 🎯I have to say my $55. Comforter is very stain resistant and durable. The quality of it is very good as it can work In Summer or winter. The first one your daughter chose was very nice, I will have to check that out for my boys.

I think they are all beautiful, but my choice of style would be the white black stripes comforter💕👏🏼

Leslie, that was a fun video. I enjoyed the comparison of the completely different styles. It will be interesting to see how well each holds up over time.

That’s amazing, I have the one only in white for my guest room, the black one. Mine washes perfectly and does not wrinkle.

Loved this video...I have been given the ultra high count sheets as a gift and they are wonderful but I think normal sheets have come along way in looks and feel and I have some of those I love as well. I like a matelassé coverlet and shams. I change to something different sometimes and always go back...its kind of a dressy neutral and can go with any throw pillows, throws, and shams. As always love your videos and love hearing your voice. Hugs and prayers to you and Jason.

Great video Leslie. I love to go by color/style/price and something more Mediterranean. Warm colors and deep rich colors, lofty to complete the whole mood of the room when you walk into it. I too roll back the billowy top as it would be too hot to sleep with it but mostly I want to keep it fresh without skin oils getting on it. My top spread also has tassels on the ends.....very european looking. I use them for years and they look like new. Lots of matching pillows and some I have added. My hubby doesn't appreciate those but he doesn't deal with them. ;-) Sheets and pillow cases are a whole other deal.....I match colorings and usually buy two sets alike and material, washability, softness, wrinkles and thread count. I love what the others chose and can imagine what their styles are. This was so fun! Since our bed is a place of rest and calm and peace I always like it inviting, warm, lovely to the eye and like my favorite place to go and just be in wonderland. I am also a stickler to buy things on sale, on clearance and will wait and watch for it to be the best price. It's kind of like playing Name That Tune only with $.........everything goes on sale at some point and I am a patient person. LOL LOL More info than you need I am sure but this was fun! Blessings and prayers always!

This was fun to watch. It's difficult to pick bedding. I know even when I purchase from a store I don't always like and have to bring back. They all were nice, hope your family likes and enjoys.

Softness is a must!

I'm on a tight budget so I look in 1. Price range 2. Looks 3. Reviews

Great timing! I'm redoing 2 bedrooms in our basement. I wanted a certain style, kind of a western theme, and searched for that to find a comforter, blanket, and pillows. For the sheets I went with a crisp, percale to give a nice "hotel" feel. For the second room I'm searching for a quilt, blanket, pillows, and sheets in a pale gray/green color and cream. I always look at the reviews and pictures if any. I want a cozy, country type feel in the room. I'm having a lot of fun redoing these rooms!

I look at design and color. I seem to be drawn to florals.

Great video!

That was a fun video. I laughed when you commented about the wrinkles on the comforter, because I was ironing when I was watching this. Wrinkles drive me crazy.😂😂 I gravitate to quilts, but the biggest thing is the dimensions of the quilt. My king-size bed has high boxspring and mattress which makes it very difficult to find quilts big enough without paying $1000. For 20 years, I have struggle with this bed and I keep teasing my husband saying we need to buy a new bed frame and mattress.😂😂❤️

Thank you for sharing these bedding choices. I of course like to start out with how it looks, then I want something lightweight and affordable. I appreciate learning about the Bedsure brand and may have to try it. I enjoy your shopping comparison videos. I imagine they must take a lot of time so I do appreciate your efforts. You are so genuine and beautiful!!

The timing of this video is great since I have just started to look for new bedding again. I am looking for a king comforter with pillow shams and a decent pleated bed skirt. I have tried searching in the past and have given up because there is never a colour that appeals to me and the bed skirts are usually really cheap looking. My current set didn't come with a bed skirt but I found two drapery panels that matched perfectly and made my own. It was a big job though and I don't feel like doing it again. I noticed too that so many sets are made of microfiber and that always reminds me of my cleaning cloths. I don't change my look very often but it really is time so I will keep plugging away with your tips in mind.

Leslie, I really enjoyed this video and seeing everyone’s choice and finding out how they made their decisions. 😊❤😊

I trade out my gedding out-dpring/summer and fall/winter-twice a year. I find that by doing this, I don’t get bored with the bedding or look and keep both sets for years. I just bought a comforter for fall/winter (Oct start for me). We will see how it fits on my bed, how it looks in my room, and how it holds up. So for me this time it was comforter, look, size measurements, material, wash care, reviews, reasonsble price. Thanks for your video! 😎

I'm about to move, so this is something I'm thinking about! Looks is most important just because of how prominent a bed is and it'll influence how the room looks. However, if something has a good look but doesn't have a good material and feel, then I won't choose that one.

I go for Egyptian cotton it’s so much cooler and comfortable and always washes good and stays looking great 👍🏻 x

My bedding criteria in order of importance are (1)Looks (color, design, pattern) (2)Comfort (thread count, material) (3) Price and (4) Reviews. As for the 3 sets shown, my favorite was Michaela's version with the black set with the pinched pleat quilt . Also with a neutral base of black, seasonal/design changes are easy with different quilts and pillows.

I'm hunting for good, reasonably priced pillows. Maybe do a video on that sometime too. Enjoyed this one.

Kelsie’s quilt is exactly the one I looked at when looking for bedding except I wanted the lighter blue. I didn’t pull the trigger because I was afraid it would not hold up. Waiting for Kelsies review on how the quilt does!

Great video! I go for looks and then fabric. Anything from the Casaluna collection @ Target is fabulous. I have to travel to the US for all that stuff no target in Canada. 🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦🥰

About a 'year ago I bought a set of microfiber sheets. I was excited to put them on my bed but after a couple of nights of waking up sticking to the sheets, I took them off and have never used them again. Microfiber does not breath so in a hot climate it is a no go for me. I will be donating them in the near future.

100% cotton is an absolute must. For sheets My Pillow has the best ones.

I loved the video. I just cleared out the spare room closet OMG I had tons of bedding in there. Some really gorgeous that I'd forgotten about!!!

Fabric!! I can't stand synthetic fabrics, especially against my skin, so I always make sure my clothing and bedding are made from natural fibers. Then I choose something I love the look of from there.

I loved all of them but Kelsies was my favorite if I had to pick one. ❤

I just bought new bedding, color and quilt style were equally the reason for my choice. I did not want comforter, too hard to wash, dry, and I like cleaning offen.

Great video! I especially liked the bedding your sister Christy picked. The color scheme was so appealing. 😊

I love this video idea! So fun! I was surprised I really liked the black, but I would still choose Kelsey’s, it’s def more my style. It got me thinking what my family members would choose, lol. Or even better what my children, who are 11 (boy) and girl (12) would pick for me, lol. I actually need a new one so this video was perfect timing for me!

Great video! I look for material, size ( a queen size comforter for ie. Is not always 90 x 90) it can vary greatly. I have to be able to wash and dry it. Of course style is important. I’ve only purchased bedding on line once and I ended up returning it. I’m someone who needs to touch it, feel how soft it is and we’ll made it is and feel the weight. My Mother was an excellent seamstress, she always stressed fabric content and quality.

Please ignore those who do not know. I pray they hear your words that they have caused hurt and stop Blessings my friend to you and your family

I need great looks, needs to feel awesome, and the price point must be under 175 as a rule. I am abscessed with good sheets, and they need to be cotton. No microfiber sheets.

Material is super important. Obviously I want it to look good. I look at reviews if I can't see in person.

Could you show what bedding you put under your comforter? I like the look of a quilt or coverlet but I like the heaviness of a traditional comforter. I wonder if your trick would work for me.

I don't like a lot of the new bedding fabrics that are thin, silky and scratchy. For me I want a durable fabric for bedding.

I'm not in the patterns. I'd rather have one color than I can switch pillows and get different looks throughout the years or seasons

I appreciated this video, I've been stalking a quilt set online for about 8 months and haven't pulled the trigger. Do you think the full/queen size is a big NO when you are purchasing for a Queen? I wish they didn't size that way!

Bedding, towels, clothes, I only buy 100% flax linen. It is a hassle though, since it must be line-dried. For winter, 100% cotton that can go in the dryer. Would not recommend linen for a family---too much work. Loved your video.

I have bought so many bedspreads and returned them all So hard to buy them on line

1st looks navy blue

Besides look, the comforter or quilt must be of a heavy weight and sheets cannot be polyester microfiber

I really want to do a duvet and then change covers for different looks. Any advice on best affordable duvet to buy?

I go for natural fibers, otherwise the materials can made me hot while I try to sleep!

Where did your purchase your blue quilt/comforter? It’s very pretty.
