Monsoon Comfort: The Art of Layering Dohar and Blankets for Cozy Nights

Marketing Team

Aug 17, 2023

The short monsoon season brings with it some cool nights that demand extra coziness. No, it’s not the time to bring out the heavy quilts yet but dohar chadar or blankets are definitely welcome. And doing it with layers is what will aid in enhancing the warmth as well as aesthetics!
Remember the hotel rooms with their plush beds? Well, layering it is the trick to achieve that luxury.
Here are some tips and tricks to introduce you to the art of layering:
Layer 1: The Bedsheet
A well-fitted bedsheet is where it all begins! Choose cotton sheets with a high thread count for the ultimate softness and ease while sleeping. You can also pick linen or silk sheets depending on your fabric preference. The bedsheet choice can vary with seasons as well. Soft flannel and silk are ideal for winter while cotton is great all year around.

Layer 2: The Blanket
Soft blankets are a boon when the temperatures go down. They are also apt to make a stylish statement in the bedroom with their myriad designs and colours. Here are some pointers you can keep in mind when purchasing a blanket for your bedroom:
Chunky blankets in solid colours are versatile as they allow you the freedom of pairing with bold prints or patterns. They are also the preferred choice for modern or contemporary décor where neutral colours and subtle prints are used. Patchwork blankets can unleash a riot of colours into the room and make for an eye-catchy option. You can use traditional Indian patchwork designs with hand-block Jaipuri prints. Or if you are fond of pastel hues then go for floral patchwork. Printed blankets when paired with plain bedsheets give off a vibrant vibe that can be tweaked to sync with your décor. Bold prints if you want an over-the-top aesthetic or abstract print for a softer touch. To arrange the blanket, you need to first spread it on the bed. Then fold the top to make space for pillows and cushions. Leave the sides hanging or tuck them in based on your preference.

Layer 3: The Dohar/Duvet Cover
What is dohar used for, you ask? Dohar bed sheet bring much-needed vibrancy to your bed and are critical to the layering technique. The added benefit is that they help keep the blanket safe from spills and dirt! When choosing a blanket for layering take into account the colour and design of the blanket. If the blanket is printed, then you can purchase a dohar in solid or vice-versa. If you want to be creative and bold, then try print on print for some fun. It’s also a good idea to buy a reversible dohar when layering so the other side can be folded up to add colour. You can either spread the dohar three-fourths over the blanket or spread it at the foot of the bed as a throw. Alternatively, you can replace the blanket completely with a dohar depending on your comfort preference.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ):
1. What is a Dohar, and how does it differ from regular blankets in terms of comfort and breathability?
Regular blanket is made in a variety of materials and is usually thicker than a dohar. Dohar chadar on the other hand is usually crafted from cotton or mul and is super soft. It is typically designed with two thin layers of cotton / mul with a filling in between. Despite being layered, it is lightweight and breathable, making it a perfect choice for both summer and light winter. The blanket on the other hand is more suitable for winter.
2. Can you explain the benefits of layering Dohar and blankets during the monsoon season for better comfort?
Monsoons are neither too hot nor too cold. It is also the season of allergies and mildew. A dohar is:
Usually designed in cotton or mul – both naturally hypoallergenic material.
Super lightweight – hence quick to dry and doesn’t leave the sour smell of improperly dried clothes after washing.
Thinner than a blanket – comprises of 2 thin layers with a filling in between – making it perfectly breathable for the humid climate.
3. How do I choose the right materials and fabrics for Dohars and blankets suitable for the monsoon weather?
As the monsoon season is neither too hot nor too cold, it is ideal to get dohars and blankets in cotton, mul, modal or bamboo material.
4. Can you recommend eco-friendly and sustainable options for Dohars and blankets?
You can find the best assortment of eco-friendly and sustainable options for dohars and blankets on Vaaree! That too, in every budget, print, size and materials.
