What is a Comfort Fit Wedding Ring?
One of the most important things to do when planning a wedding is choosing the perfect wedding ring. This can sometimes be daunting as there are so many things to factor – design style, precious gems, precious metal to be used and a lot more. The second thing to consider, apart from how it looks, is how it feels. Your wedding ring is something that you will be wearing forever, so making sure that it fits and that it is comfortable is as important as how it looks. Most people are unaware that there are 2 types of fits for wedding bands – standard fit and comfort fit. If you’re concerned that this is another thing that you have to worry about, don’t stress. It’s really quite simple and we are here to help make sure that you ring will be snug and comfy on your finger.
Comfort Fit vs Standard Fit
The difference between comfort fit and standard fit lies on how the inner side of your ring is made. Standard fit bands have a flat band interior. That means that the ring is touching the skin of your finger from edge to edge. The diameter of your ring at the edge is exactly the same as the diameter when taken at the center. This kind of fit has been used throughout centuries and is the more traditional fit.
Comfort fit has the inner side of your ring rounded off on each side. This makes the diameter of the edge of your ring is smaller than the diameter of the center of your ring. Because the ring is beveled/chamfered on the inside, some suggest to go half a sizer larger for comfort fit bands while some suggest to stick with your true size. This can be quite confusing for sure!
Despite these, comfort fit wedding bands still come out to be the better option. For one, the name itself explains why it is a better choice – it is comfort fitting. A band with comfort fit feels far more comfortable than the standard fit because of that rounded edge. It is easier to put on a comfort fit ring through big knuckles and big fingers and it doesn’t have to be expensive because of the extra metal that needs to be used to round of the interior. Lightweight metals like titanium, ceramic and carbon fiber are very affordable and are perfect for comfort fit wedding bands.

Comfortable Wedding Rings
What better way to make a comfort fit wedding ring more comfortable than by making it a light weight as well. Lightweight wedding rings are made of not so heavy but highly durable materials that make rings so comfy it doesn’t even feel like it’s there. Most wedding band guides say that having it comfort fitted and lightweight make it a better choice, especially if they have a very active lifestyle or if it’s their first time wearing a ring.
Titanium
Titanium, which is normally used in aerospace engineering and medicine, is one of the most durable materials around, making it perfect for daily use and wear and tear. Because of it’s hardness, design options with titanium rings may be limited. But you don’t also have to worry if you have sensitive skin as titanium makes for a great hypoallergenic wedding band. In fact, titanium is commonly used for implants in the medical and dental industries due to its hypoallergenic properties.

Carbon Fiber
Carbon Fiber which is also called the “Wonder Material,” is lighter in weight than titanium but is as durable. It is known to be stronger than steel but is flexible enough to create more design style options than titanium. Carbon Fiber rings have a sleek black look to them and are perfect for those looking for a durable black wedding band.

Ceramic
Ceramic, also known as titanium carbide, is stronger than tungsten yet extremely light because it is a non-metal which makes it worry-free to wear as jewelry for those who have metal allergies or sensitive skins. It can take a direct hit better than stainless steel and is scratch-resistant. Ceramic wedding bands are beautiful and can hold an extremely good polish over time, making it easy to maintain and care for.
