I think for comforters, that makes the most sense. Easier to do that than cram it in a drier.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Hope everyone is doing well! Work was a little busy today, so I'm glad the day is over!
Tomorrow I have off, because I have the final part of my root canal to get taken care of, the permanent crown is put on. No other appointments that day, so I can laze around the apartment, if I choose.

Sorry for repeating myself but the best way to dry comforters, IMO, is to put them back on the bed, damp! We have such a dry climate in Colorado, that they're dry in no time, and the air is refreshingly hydrated!

That might work well in Colorado, but that would not work very well in the humid climate of the Mid-Atlantic region. All you would end up with is a wet bed.
Around here, being hung outdoors on a clothesline in a good stiff breeze dries a comforter and gives it a nice, fresh scent that is wonderful the first time you get back into bed.

I had to look up what a comforter was. All I could think of was baby's dummy.
I discovered they are what Australians call doonas and Kiwis call duvets. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comforter
I have had to adjust my language accordingly although saying doona in NZ is understood, just gives my birth country away. Probably the generic term is continental quilt.
I first met such items when I first visited Germany in 1974. They were almost unknown in Australia then but I bought one and have used it ever since. I do not use a top sheet but, of course, have duvet covers which I wash. I do not have to make the bed every day, just shake out the duvet/doona. In German hotels they roll them up but I leave mine laying flat on the bed.
