Why Your Comforter Feels Hot
Even With the AC On

Most people blame the weather, the AC setting, or just "running hot." The actual cause is almost always the comforter itself — specifically its fill weight and polyester percentage. Two numbers that most brands never mention and most buyers never think to ask about.

Polyester in small amounts is necessary. It prevents colour fading and stops fabric from shrinking after washing. Every quality comforter contains some. The problem is what most budget brands do with it.

At that concentration, the shell fabric cannot breathe. Your body heat builds up beneath it all night. The AC cools the room but not you — because you're wrapped in what is effectively a polyester sheet.

The right amount is the minimum effective dose — just enough to protect colour and shape. Everything else should be breathable micro cotton.

Fill weight is the amount of microfiber stuffed inside your comforter. Heavier is not better — especially in a country where the AC runs from April through September. There is a precise sweet spot for Indian bedrooms.

3.5 kg is the number we've settled on after decades of making comforters in Panipat specifically for Indian buyers. Not for European winters. Not for hotel lobbies. For Indian homes with Indian AC units running through Indian summers.

Before spending anything, check what you already have. These five tests take under two minutes:

• →Hold it to light — if barely transparent, polyester content is very high
• →Scrunch in hand — breathable comforters spring back soft, polyester-heavy ones stay stiff
• →Read the label — above 40% polyester in the shell means heat retention
• →Feel the fill — if it clumps to corners, waste fiber was used instead of fresh microfiber
• →Weigh it if you can — above 4.5 kg for king size is too heavy for AC use

Two or more of these? That is your answer. The comforter is the problem, not the AC.

Made for one specific climate — Indian summers with the AC running all night. Every decision in how we build our comforters comes from this single constraint.

• →210TC micro cotton shell — the exact breathability level for Indian AC bedrooms
• →3.5 kg fill weight — arrived at after years of feedback from Indian buyers
• →Fresh virgin microfiber fill — never recycled or waste fiber from other production runs
• →Optimal low polyester — colour protection without sacrificing breathability
• →Reversible both sides — fully finished, two designs in one piece
• →90×100 inch king size — fits Indian beds with proper drape on all four sides
