Mink Comforters

A mink comforter adds an elegant layer of warmth to any queen or king size bed. The availability of fur depends in part on mink-farming cooperatives to nurture and provide millions of mink pelts to wholesalers around the world. Farm breeding of the American mink has resulted in a variety of fur colorations. White, chestnut, fawn and gray are the most prevalent colors. The fur is naturally waterproofed by the animal's oil secretion.

The use of animal fur for comforters and other accessories is marketed worldwide. While there are fewer fox pelts used than mink, each is considered an exotic hide for the beauty and warmth it provides. Comforters are lined with complementary colors of silk, nylon or other similar soft material.

Take Care of Mink Comforters

The care of an animal comforter is ongoing. Some of the things to keep in mind include the following:

• Keep the fur from heat and bright light
• Avoid using any chemicals that might drift onto the comforter
• Be sure there is plenty of air circulation in the area
• Use as a cover only, not as something to sit on
• Use a fur specialist for cleaning

Many sites are available with a wide range of mink and fox bedding. When ordering online, use only a site you can trust to give you real animal hide, not the less-expensive faux designs.
