I bought this comforter for my daughter for Christmas at a fantastic price which I was afraid was going to be too good to be true-the old 'You get what you pay for' maxim. This is definitely a quality item through and through! It has beautiful workmanship and fabric and not a pokey feather to be felt! My daughter is thrilled with it and the fact that she was able to get other gifts since I saved so much on this item!!

You can NEVER trust Amazon's product descriptions. This is another case that proves the rule. The tag on this comforter clearly states that this comforter contains a minimum of 75% down. That leaves 25% FEATHERS.

DOWN is the gold standard. Down alternative comforters and down with feather comforters are NOT DOWN comforters.

When feathers are added to the fill, the comforter is not as light and fluffy. While the comforter may in fact contain 50 oz. fill, 50 ounces of 100% down versus 50 ounces of the combination of 75% down and 25% FEATHERS is a MATERIAL difference. Feathers make a scritchy noice and the comforter is flatter. This is probably why some of the reviewers have described this comforter as being "flat." 100% down comforters are pure luxury. When you add feathers to the mix, luxury is not part of the vocabulary--you just have a warm blanket.

Another reviewer suggested this comforter has a fill power of 700. This is NOT the case.

For the price, this may not be a bad buy if you KNOW you aren't receiving the "real" thing. The fabric is decent and it will be a warm "blanket."

I brought this comforter one week ago when it in a deep discount price ($37). I'm very pleased with its quality. Warm, soft, and the cover looks great. It says Min. 75% down, and I don't feel any feathers. I would like to buy another one, but the price is doubled when I check on the site again.
There are several things for my concern. I do need a 300+ cotton sheet under it to make it more comfortable. (I used a silk comforter with 300 cotton duvet under it.)
It maybe too warm for summer, especially for my desert house. The price is fair now (about $70).

I got this as a Christmas present and I love it, it is so warm and comfy. It is worth the price I would recommend it to anyone. I took it over to my Mom's house and now she has one as well. We love it!

I bought a king size comforter for our queen size bed. It is a very tall bed, so I thought this would work. However, it is way too small. I really don't see how the dimensions on this comforter are king size. I will still use it next winter, but not as a comforter just as a blanket. The quality of the comforter is great, but due to the size it isn't what I expected.

I got the king size for $56 from here, but it's odd that it's barely larger than my queen size matress, I mean barely. Secondly, when I removed the plastic around it, it the comforter smelled like a sweaty gym sock. Certainly wasn't very pleasant experience. I'm too am unsure of the 50 oz of down since it seems very light, but it does have a good texture and feel to it. Since it's been laundered the smell disappeared.

This is a wonderful down comforter; for all those people who don't know how to tell if this is a heavy weight for super-cold weather comforter it is 50oz of down filling meaning over 700+fill power. It takes some getting used to to sleep with down because you do have to wear as few clothes to bed as possible because of the way the down circulates your own body heat, but once you get used to it, I promise you nothing else feels quite the same.

I ordered several and gave some away to my sisters and they love it too!

I bought the twin comforter from Monster Buy, he is the only one selling this. After three weeks, after sending an email to remind him to ship my comforter, she send another cheap comforter from IKEA. I emailed it back, he was very responsive to the email, but hasn't shipped the item yet. Winter is almost over.


I am sorry if this review was not helpful (in describing the product) but I will edit this review if my crocked seller ships me the item. Two months to get a comforter...wow!!

I've had this comforter for about six months now and I LOVE IT! When you recieve your comforter in the bag, it will come compressed. The feathers quickly fluff up to a very nice 3-4 inches. I bought the king size comforter and it fits my California king bed nicley with no overhang. I bought a really nice duvet cover to go with it. If this is not 100% down, I surely cannot tell. Not one feather has ever poked through and the feathers do not bunch up in one section; they stay in their place. This is a very warm comforter that you will not be disappointed with.
