FEATHERS and down--NOT 100% down!!!!!!, June 2, 2008
This review is from: Pike Street 410-Thread Count Supima Cotton European White Goose Down Comforter (Kitchen)
Just received mine today. The tag on the comforter states minimum 75% down. That leaves 25% FEATHERS. What a disappointment to discover this after reading the product description carefully BEFORE I made my purchase.
If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. This comforter proves the rule.
FEATHER/down combination comforters do NOT maintain their loft--they tend to flatten out after minimal use. They also do not have the same luxury feel as 100% down.
Feathers in the comforters make noise. I tried one of the feather and down combination comforters on our bed and my husband who NEVER notices anything asked why the comforter was making noise! Down is silent when you roll over or adjust the covers.
The outer covering on this comforter is nice at 410 thread count.
This is just another warm blanket, not a luxury down comforter. The label on the comforter package clearly states: BASIC BEDDING.
The less expensive down and feather combination comforters sold on amazon have the SAME fill, so unless you want the 410 thread count cover on a feather/down combination comforter, save your money and buy the less expensive product.
I will be returning this product and searching for a 100% down comforter. We've had the real thing for years and the feather/down combination comforters just don't measure up.

Great value and very comfy..., May 1, 2008
I shopped and shopped for comforters before deciding on this one, I chose it because I liked the high thread count (no down leakage), that it was all down and not down and feather and had a fill power of over 600. (the more fill power the greater the poof) When it comes out of the bag, it feels kind of flat and lightweight but after a shake or two it was nice and fluffy. I live in San Francisco, so this is a perfect weight for when it dips in to the 40's. I was nice and warm. The only thing is that the comforter smells a little like goose if you know what I mean, but I assume that the smell will dissipate with time. once I put it in my duvet cover, I didn't notice it any more. I also wish it had more baffle stitching but for under $80 I thought this was a great deal.

great comforter for the price, May 6, 2008
This review is from: Pike Street 410-Thread Count Supima Cotton European White Goose Down Comforter (Kitchen)
I first bought this for my 4yr-old daughter. The quality is so superb - soft fluffy and a great weight - that I later bought 4 more to furnish our beach house. Can't beat the price. All other comparable down comforters, in terms of thread count, fill power & weight, are priced at least 30% more.
