Elevating the Bedroom: The Benefits of Custom Bedding for Your Savannah or Bluffton Home

When it comes to creating a thoughtfully designed home, custom bedding is often the unsung hero. At Savannah Window Fashions, we know that custom bedding isn’t just about making a bed look beautiful; it’s about enhancing comfort, longevity, and lifestyle. Whether you’re renovating a historic home in downtown Savannah or building new in Palmetto Bluff, investing in custom bedding is a simple way to add both function and luxury to your space.

Why Choose Custom Bedding?

The Perfect Fit
Bedding should fit your mattress precisely—no bunching, shifting, or corners that don’t quite tuck in. With custom bedding, we tailor every piece to your exact bed dimensions, whether it’s a specialty-size mattress or a unique bed frame design. This is especially helpful for clients with deep mattresses, custom headboards, or platform beds that require a tailored approach.

Coordinated, Not Matched
One of the most satisfying parts of designing custom bedding is selecting coordinating fabrics that flow with the rest of your home. We often pull fabric inspiration from drapery or upholstered pieces to create bedding that feels intentional and high-end without being overly "matchy." Our clients love how seamlessly their bedding works within the overall design plan.

Longer-Lasting, Higher-Quality Materials
Most store-bought bedding is mass-produced using lower-grade materials. We source designer-quality fabrics and linings, and fabricate everything in our Savannah-based workroom with a level of care and craftsmanship you simply can’t get off-the-shelf. These aren’t products that fall apart after one wash—they’re built to last.

Customized for Your Lifestyle Do you like to read in bed with a stack of sturdy Euro pillows? Do you want a lightweight duvet that’s easy to wash, or something more luxurious that stays on for display only? These are the questions we ask during the design phase. We’ll help you select the ideal fill materials, pillow blends, and design features to match how you actually live in your home.

Key Factors to Consider When Designing Custom Bedding

Fabric Selection & Care Requirements
Most designer fabrics are not washable, which is an important consideration when selecting materials for custom bedding. We often find that clients think of duvet covers as an easy, washable solution—but when they're made with dry-clean only fabrics, that convenience isn’t guaranteed. That’s why we take time during the design process to educate our clients on fabric care and maintenance. If ease of cleaning is a top priority, we’ll help guide you toward fabrics that offer both function and beauty—such as using performance or washable fabrics on duvets and pillow covers that see frequent use. Every selection should align with how you actually live in and care for your home.

Understanding Fill Options
We source custom pillow inserts and build them to your preferred fill ratio. We recommend:

• 75/25 (feather/down) for a firm, supportive Euro pillow that holds shape when sitting up in bed
  

• 50/50 (feather/poly) for king shams that are more decorative in nature are more for display
  

• 90/10 (feather/down) for clients looking for a budget-friendly option that still offers the loft of feathers and downs a bit of plushness

Poly fill is lightweight and holds its shape. Feather and down have more movement and softness but can be heavier—something to consider when you’re moving pillows daily.

Your Routine & Lifestyle
If you're making your bed every morning, you may not want six heavy decorative pillows to shuffle. If you entertain overnight guests frequently, you may want washable duvet covers with easy-care inserts. We’ll guide you through these details during our consultation, so your bedding works for you, not the other way around.

What We Typically Create

At Savannah Window Fashions, we custom fabricate the following bedding elements from our in-house workroom:

• Coverlets: These are lightly quilted or tacked and smooth across the bed with simple stitched edging and often a flange. Unlike traditional quilts, they’re more tailored and contemporary in look.

• Duvet Covers: We size these based on the specific insert our clients plan to use. We add ties in the corners to keep everything secure and ensure a neat fit.

• Bed Skirts: Whether you want tailored, gathered, or split corners for a four-poster, we design these to coordinate with your fabrics and bed style.

• Accent & Sleeping Pillows: Euro shams, king shams, decorative throws—we’ll help you decide how many you need, what size works best, and which fill ratios are ideal for your setup.

Every piece is sewn with intention by our team of experienced fabricators right here in Savannah.
