Three Geese Pinch Pleat Waterfowl Feathers Down Comforter King Size Duvet Insert, 1200TC 100% Cotton Fabric, Premium All Seasons White Hotel Warm Comforter with 8 Tabs.OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

I make a lot of purchases on this website. Of the items I have bought that were from otherwise "unknown" vendors (meaning, I had not heard of the brand or the store): this hit my top 5 best buys of all time!I absolutely AGONIZED over this decision because lately, even when I do a ton of research, I have found myself disappointed. So I was STRESSED about buying, what wound up being two of these comforters. Here is what I want you to know, in case you are stressing too:1. They absolutely fluff up, just as in the picture. (I bought two and they arrived on different days, so I got to watch the process twice.) I took them out of the packaging and gave them a thorough shake, in multiple directions. With the first one, while I saw very quick fluffing, I then let it sit in a room the rest of the day and when I was ready for bed - I threw it in the dryer (on a cool/fluff setting) with some dryer balls for about 10 minutes. Holy Toledo, the fluff! On the second one, I did all the shaking, but skipped the setting it out and went straight for the dryer. Same result. Major fluff! Yes, there were some very fine bits of feathers and/or down that flew into the air. But it was very insignificant and completely reasonable, in my opinion.2. These are ALL SEASON. So, this means that within reason, you "could" use this in the summer. (I am right now.) BUT, it's pretty hot outside so the level of warmth to this quilt is such - you could be uncomfortable. However, with the right bedroom temp (which I've maintained) - this has been lovely. I believe, based on the level of warmth I have had, these will be great as the weather cools down. DISCLAIMER: You do need to think on the type of sleeper you are (do you sleep hot or cold), and other factors related to your sleep system. In my home, I sleep on a memory foam bed with a cooling bed cover and use a linen bottom sheet. I am using a cotton gauze duvet to protect my comforter. I maintain a specific temperature range in my bedroom...all of these tidbits have created an environment that works for my personal needs. So, when you read reviews where people say: "this is perfect" or "this is too hot" - just take this all into account. This was "perfect" for them and their system, or "too hot" for the same reasons for someone else.3. Please understand what you are buying. This is NOT an exclusively down comforter. You'll notice this is disclosed in the description: This is 75% feathers and 25% down. What's the difference between feathers and down? Mainly their structure. Feathers are more dense than down. They have a distinct quill and are uniform in their physical makeup. Although a cluster of down does have a quill, it is very small and may be undetectable. The structure of a down cluster is very undefined. Because down lacks this structure, down is very soft and malleable. Further, with this undefined structure, a cluster of down traps air and is an excellent insulator, which is why it is found in garments such as coats, mittens, and down comforters. Down is preferable to feathers for something like a comforter, in part, because of the overall weight SO: THIS COMFORTER IS HEAVIER THAN A FAR MORE EXPENSIVE EXCLUSIVELY DOWN COMFORTER.ALL that said- this is why I worried about this purchase. I wanted something light as air, super fluffy, and warm. I worried the huge quantities of feathers would make this too heavy and not be effective. In fact, I wondered if it would be possible for the feathers to even loft the way down does in the more expensive comforters. BUT- this has been outstanding with this comforter! It does feel heavy when I am wafting it around while making the bed, but it does NOT feel heavy when it is laying across my body. (For a comparison, look at the weight of this comforter verses something that is more along the lines of 75% down with only 25% feathers. The one with a lot more down will be a TON lighter.) I took this into account when purchasing and decided that the weight of the comforter when laid across a bed (over my body) would tell the tale, and it did. It feels comfortably light. (You may have experience with something with a higher quantity of down and feel differently about the total weight, but for reference, I wanted a "light" comforter because the weight of my previous synthetic fill comforter hurt my toes and this does not hurt my toes at all. I do not feel this on my toes!)A note on the level of fill: I held both of my new comforters up with backlighting to look at the total fill. Every square was beautifully full...something much easier to do at this cost point when you are using so many feathers.A note on baffle box construction: This is a true baffle box construction. Technically speaking, "baffle box" refers to pockets constructed inside a down comforter using three or more pieces of fabric. The top and bottom sheets are stitched together by thin perpendicular pieces of fabric, creating three-dimensional pockets. This comforter is a traditional baffle box. If you have a comparable, inexpensively made comforter that claims to be baffle box - but you find it "cold", check to see if the boxes are completely sewn through. (Sewn through is also known as "box stitched": a box stitch is very similar to a baffle box. A box stitch, though, simply stitches together the top and bottom layers directly. As the top and bottom layers are sewn directly together with a box stitch, the stitch lines do not have any filling in them. This means they are thin and heat can escape easier. Generally, this means that box-stitched comforters run cooler than baffle box comforters—not necessarily a bad thing for hot sleepers.)And now I can see this is obscenely long, so this will be the end of my Ted Talk on what feathers are, what down is, and the type of stitching you find in down comforters. The long and the short being: Yes, I totally recommend this product.

This down comforter is amazing! This is my second one, the first one I bought was the king in grey. I have the palatial king now as to give more room for rolling, grabbing and tucking while sleeping, that way no one’s playing blanket tug of war. It’s heavy enough to keep you warm, in warmer seasons but doesn’t overheat you, it’s crisp to the touch but gentle on skin. During the summer months this is perfect with the A/C on or even the fan, it’s nice to lay on top of as well because it keeps its cool. It feels kind of like an anxiety blanket and I love it. I sleep like a log with this thing, I highly suggest it to anyone with temperature regulation issues while sleeping. You just open the box & bag, let it expand for 24hrs and then it’s ready for your bed! It’s the easiest down comforter I’ve come across and it’s so pretty! I am all about the aesthetics. I won’t be putting a duvet cover on it just because I love the dark black/gray pinch pleat so much.

Very cozy!! It has a luxurious hotel feel to it. I love having the AC on, along with the fan and ceiling fan, then hopping into my bed to snuggle up in it. It does have the weighted blanket feel, but that adds to the coziness. It is very fluffy also! The slight crunchy sound is no problem for me at all! I would recommend this purchase!

My cats ruined my last feather/down quilt and I needed a replacement in a similar color. I love the pinch pleat design. It holds the filling in looks really designer. The color matches my waffle design pillow shams perfectly. With my white sheets and fur throw, my bed looks so inviting and fresh.

Overall, this is a well made comforter. I’m satisfied with the quality and construction of it. My issue I’m personally having is I am a hot sleeper and after 2 weeks of using this I’ve realized it makes me too hot at night and is the reason I haven’t been sleeping as well. I even use it with cooling bamboo sheets. No fault of this comforter, it’s just too warm/hot for my husband and I. To be fair we live in the southwest US and our daily temps average 105°-115° so I like to be a lot cooler at night. I do have my ac set at 76° but I’m still too hot under this comforter!! I will absolutely be using this during the fall-spring seasons though! It is noisy material but it isn’t bothersome.

This duvet is soft yet heavy, it’s comfortable, and a great fit, it didn’t shrink after washing, the color was exactly as pictured. Please wash alone in cold water and dry on low and delicate. The pockets of this are nicely stitched apart and even. Great buy overall…..will buy two more for my boys room and guest room.

While it’s very soft and comfortable to use, after a few months it has begun to leak feathers EVERYWHERE. I have a duvet cover on it and everything, but they still find a way out and have taken over my bed. There’s no way I can take the cover off for washing without a massive mess.
