My girlfriend and I recently purchased a new home. There were many items we needed to shop for. Some of them included bedding and curtains for our bedroom. We shopped many stores for comforter sets. We finally found a complete set that included the comforter, sheet set, throw pillows, bed skirt, and curtains. It saved a lot of time buying it as a set, instead of buying each piece separately. We were amazed how many different stores that sold the complete comforter sets in so many different colors and patterns.
