Well, lemme tell ya somethin’ about these astrology comforters. First off, what the heck is an astrology comforter anyway? Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like somethin’ them city folks would have. But from what I gather, it’s just a blanket, a fancy blanket maybe, with all them stars and signs and whatnot on it.
Now, I ain’t one for all that zodiac stuff. You know, tellin’ yer future by the stars. Hogwash, if you ask me. But hey, if it makes ya happy, who am I to judge? If you wanna sleep under a blanket with a picture of a crab or a fish on it, go right ahead. Won’t hurt nobody.
But let’s talk about the important stuff. Is it warm? That’s what I wanna know. When it’s cold outside, you don’t care about no fancy stars, you just wanna be warm. And these comforters, they say they’re warm. Real warm. Some folks say too warm, even. But I reckon that depends on where you live. If you’re up north where it snows all winter, then yeah, you probably need a good warm blanket. Down here, it don’t get quite so cold.
- They say these comforters got somethin’ called “fill.” Goose down, they call it. Fancy feathers, I guess. Sounds soft, though. And they say it keeps ya warm. That’s good.
- And they got somethin’ called “thread count.” Now, I don’t know nothin’ about thread count, but they say the higher the better. Means the blanket’s made good, I suppose. Won’t fall apart after a few washes. That’s important, seein’ as how you gotta wash yer blankets sometimes.
Now, they sell these comforters in sets. Comes with pillow shams, they say. What in tarnation is a pillow sham? Sounds like a made-up word to me. Just a fancy way of sayin’ pillowcase, I bet. And some sets come with a cushion sham, too. Whatever that is. Probably just a fancy cover for a throw pillow. City folks and their fancy words.
But here’s the thing. These comforters, they ain’t cheap. You can find ’em at that Walmart place, or Wayfair, whatever that is. But they cost a pretty penny. Thirty bucks, forty bucks, even fifty bucks. That’s a lot of money for a blanket, if you ask me. I could buy a whole mess of fabric at the store and make my own for half that price.
And they got all sorts of designs, too. Vintage world maps, they say. Sun and moon, tarot cards, cannabis leaves (don’t know what that’s about), leopard print. You name it, they got it. But why you’d want a picture of a cannabis leaf on yer blanket is beyond me. To each their own, I suppose.
Now, if you’re one of them folks who likes to customize everything, you can get these comforters with yer own design on ’em. They call it “customization.” Sounds expensive. But hey, if you wanna sleep under a blanket with a picture of yer cat on it, go right ahead. Nobody’s stoppin’ ya.
So, what’s the verdict on these astrology comforters? Well, they’re warm, that’s for sure. And they come in all sorts of fancy designs. But they’re expensive, and I don’t know if they’re really worth all that money. I mean, a blanket is a blanket, ain’t it? Keeps ya warm at night. That’s all that matters. But if you wanna spend yer hard-earned money on a blanket with a picture of a fish on it, well, that’s yer business.
Me, I’ll stick with my plain old quilt. It’s warm, it’s comfortable, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. And that’s good enough for me.
