qbedding 3pc quilt set

Qbedding is an online retailer offering more than just bedding.  Bedding, is by far their specialty, but one can also purchase seat covers, neck support pillows, pillows, an array of stunning umbrellas, curtains and much more.  I was recently asked to review one of their 3-pc quilt sets.  I chose the one you see below made by Mercury – no, the fur babies are mine – there was just no way I was going to get this on the bed without them torturing me.

I have to tell you – I hadn’t read the details on the packaging – that is until I went to write this review.  I was surprised to learn the quilt was made of 100% polyester.  I would have never thought that to be the case.  The fabric feels like it’s very expensive cotton – no kidding! It’s so soft – almost having the feeling of the expensive cotton sateen sheets one can buy.  I was actually worried about how much the quilt would shrink after being washed as I was placing it on my bed.  My mind was quickly set at ease, as since it’s made of polyester, it shouldn’t shrink at all.

The size I chose was for a queen-size bed.  If I was to do it all over again, I would have ordered the king size, and here’s why – I have a queen-size bed with deep mattresses.  The queen size did not cover the end of my mattress, and I am not one for rolling down the first foot or so at the top of the bed when I make it, which if I were, then the quilt would have covered the end.  Of course, this is all a matter of preference:)

As you can see above, Chunka Chunka has everything under control.  She’s decided she’s taking my side of the bed (not)! All kidding aside, do you see the pillow covers?  Do you see how one is of a rosebud-like pattern and the other matches the quilt pattern itself (you can also see this in the first picture near the bottom of the bed and to the right)?  This is because this quilt is completely reversible.  In addition, if you enlarge the picture above, you can see the nicely added detail of the satin ribbons used to tie the back opening together.  The pillow covers themselves are a generous size and constructed of the same material as the quilt.

Although I couldn’t find this particular quilt set on their site, there are many more.  Qbedding also carries ‘green’ products including, organic quilts, pillows, a bamboo series and the tatami series. They also have a line of home products, and products for kids.

In today’s world, does one dare to go without insurance? I know I don’t. People seem all too ‘sue’ happy these days. These just aren’t people who are in auto accidents either. People will sue others if they are hurt on their properties, especially those being businesses. That’s one of the reasons why, when operating a business, that the business be properly insured with business insurance. It would really rot if you weren’t insured and you lost all your hard work you’ve put into your business from being sued.  Even those who operate under an LLC (Limited Liability Company) need business insurance.

What type of business insurance do you need? Well, this all depends on whether you need coverage for commercial vehicles, or if you’re a manufacturer, contractor, landlord, butcher or whatever it is that you specialize in. Personally, I would also cover myself in addition to having business insurance. This is because…say you’re in a car accident in a business vehicle and you’re at fault, the other person can put claims in against your business insurance and you personally.  Of course, you’ll want to shop around to find the best rates for the protection you need. A penny saved is a penny earned, right?
