Lately, we've been finding ourselves going through a lot of model homes in the area. It's always fun to see what builders feel will appeal to the masses, and it's a great place to get decor ideas. We've noticed one trend that we never noticed before: corner seamed comforters. Is this just a decorator thing, or do any of you actually have comforters like this?
We've never seen anything like this offered in off-the-shelf retail. It looks like more of a custom treatment. We like the clean look though as well as the functionality (no more tucking!) and are curious if anyone has ever done this? Or would you consider doing it? Is there a more technical term for this?

Where is the option "No, and this is hideous"
I second that. Definitely not a fan. It's too contrived.
This screams "lazy bachelor" to me
Doesn't that make it a "bedspread"?
I've seen this once before in the lakefront condo that a former supervisor owns. It's a sleek very modern gorgeous unit and I loved her comforter done in a gray. It might be a custom thing though....as she is LOADED and everything is pretty much italian, custom or high-design. She's a design partner at an architectural firm.
These were fairly common amongst the Scandinavian Teak platform bed owners in the 70's. Mine was suede in a Marimekko type graphic.
This style is popular with hotels and RV "model homes" as well, but I'm not sure why someone would CHOOSE to have something like this. What happens if you're like George Costanza, who wanted the ability to kick his feet out of the covers if necessary! Or if, like many of us, you have to pull the covers up over your head to blot out the screaming baby next door?
I've seen these in the odd cheap hotel. Tacky, tacky, tacky.
I'm with L in London, I've seen them in a lot of cheap hotels and that's it.
ugh. just awful.
This looks like the Holiday Inn. Gross.
EEEK! the 70s are back but not in a good way...
(That is not a comforter; it's a bedspread.)
They're called "bedcaps." They showed up for a while in the late 90s-early 00s.
Portico sells these--for about $500. (click my name for a peek) Clearly, someone with some bank thinks highly of this concept...
I worked on model homes for years. This is a custom comforter, not very practical for everyday use but approriate for the models. Not much makes sense in model homes, it is all for show. The problem is it tends to slip off the bed as does most of the bedding. We used to use metal clips and attach the comforter to the "bed" to help it from falling off.
oooh!!! it makes me so uncomfortable to look at it---it already looks like it's falling off of the bed, and there isn't even anyone in it! let alone two people tug-of-warring at 3am.....
make it stop!
