Comforters and Comforter Sets

CDS Ensembles receives unfinished comforter shells along with any components and supplies, then fills, finishes, packs and ships store-ready comforter products directly to the retailer or our partner’s distribution center. We manufacture comforters for almost all retail markets: juvenile to luxury.

Comforter Quilting at CDS Ensembles

Our computer controlled quilting machines are fully programmable. Our extensive library of standard quilting patterns include bar tacks, scrolls, channels, diamonds and cover almost all the patterns found in retail stores today. With our CAD system, we can also create engineered patterns to account for special print geometries.

Blown Decorative Pillows

As with comforters, CDS Ensembles receives your pillow shells, blows, closes, packs and ships them to you or your retail customer’s distribution center.

Thermally Bonded, Garnetted Fiberfill

We produce all the polyester fiberfill for our comforters right on-site, and because we use thermal rather than chemical bonding, our products and manufacturing processes are cleaner and much safer for the environment.

We offer a wide variety of fiber fills for you to choose from including:

Standard Blend – This is what we use for 90% of our comforters. It provides a good balance of loft, hand and durability and is suitable for use in most retail comforters.
Down Alternative Blend – This blend replaces a certain percentage of the dry fibers with slick conjugate fibers to give comforters the softer, slicker feel of a down filled comforter.
Custom Blend – We can easily work with you to create a custom blend to match your particular product needs and price points.

How to save money

By default we use only the highest quality staples in all our fiber blends. However, if your customer can accept an off-color fiberfill, there are opportunities to exploit spot market staple prices and lower your costs substantially. CDS will work with you to determine if and how your product can use lower cost staple components without any degradation in customer-perceived quality.
