I've been looking for a great down alternative comforter for several months now. I've searched in Department Stores, Bed and Bath store, and finally, online at Amazon. The comforters that I really liked in the brick and mortar stores were of exceptional quality, but also high priced. I could not find any comforters that I could see taking home for under $200.

When I saw this comforter on Amazon, I was a bit skeptical, and thought "hey, if I don't like it, I'll send it back" - Well, this baby is staying on my bed! It really is wonderful! Great quality! Pure comfort! And for under $100 for the medium fill (which I purchased), you can't beat the price for the quality.

Oh - One major part of my decision to order was the box stitching and how this feature keeps the fill from sliding to the edges of the comforter. If you are seriously searching for a comforter like this, buy it now! You will be thrilled with the deal!

This is a very nice comforter, but the medium weight is just not warm enough for Boston. Also, the comforter is quite thin, which is nice if you don't like a thick blanket on you, but I actually prefer thick blankets in winter (which let you burrow under them) so this one didn't work out for me. If a heavy weight version of this comforter had been available, I would have happily purchased that instead.

I am so happy I purchased this comforter. The PrimaLoft fill is what caught my attention - especially as I was comparing it with other online retailers. This sold for less than half the price of another retailer - who was offering it as part of their "ultimate winter sale!"

Two points I would like to add (not necessarily negatives): First, the cover fabric is a little noisy. I only noticed this in the beginning, so it might have been the original finish from the manufacturer. Secondly, this is definitely oversized. I looked around for a duvet to help keep the bright white fabric clean. However, this comforter (king-size) is wider and longer than any king-size duvet cover I could find.

Yahoo! I finally got one of these in QUEEN HEAVYWEIGHT! Amazon seems to be chronically out of stock. So far, I like it a lot! It is nicer than similar versions I've seen elsewhere. The fabric and construction are very nice. There seems to be much more filling, in the area that is on top of your bed, than on the sides (almost nothing along the edges). One thing I didn't like was that there are no loops in the corners for duvet ties, I guess those can be sewed on fairly easily, but for $130, they should be there already. This comforter is stated to be full/queen, but in reality, it is queen size and would be very generous on a full size bed. I laid it out and measured it; my measurements say it is 88 x 94-inches, barely. Amazon's measurements are 90 x 96-inches. They must use the measurements before stuffing. I haven't washed it yet, but I believe, since it has a 100% cotton shell, it will probably shrink down a few inches more each way. I will update, after I wash it. UPDATE: Washed for the first time, following all directions and comforter shrunk to 86 x 92-inches. Washed fine, but is now fairly wrinkled looking. Shrinking may be a somewhat good thing, as it may be easier to find duvet covers to fit. This is an odd over-sized size, especially the length, Amazon does not have a duvet cover to fit and few other places have one either. I may have to make one. (I'd LOVE a Pinzon Portuguese 190 or 200 gram flannel one! How about getting some, Amazon?) UPDATE: Found some that fit at Land's End--6oz. Portuguese flannel in colors that match my Pinzon flannel sheets. We used this, without a cover, just flannel sheets, to try it with 60 degree F. indoor temps and were toasty warm all night! Overall, I like this and would buy again. UPDATE: With the duvet cover, our flannel sheets and a blanket, we are comfy down to 50 degrees F. We like saving money on the heat bill!

I have bought several different things makde by Pinzon. I have never been disappointed. The comforters I have bought have been absolutely great. They are beautiful, wash well and warm. A great price and fantastic product.

I have to say, like others I was skeptical when I took out the package and saw how thin this comforter was, but was more than pleasantly surprised when I put it on my bed. It fluffed out great and is warm! I love this. I look forward to snuggling up in bed with this comforter. We've already washed it and air dried it and it came out beautifully. This is a must have if you're looking for a down alternative comforter!

This comforter is a great weight. The PrimaLoft fill stays in its place better than in any other comforter that I have owned that is box constructed. (this is my fourth box constructed comforter.) I got it to go on my queen size bed...it hangs nicely and covers the sides but doesn't drag the ground.
My significant other is allergic to dust so I like having the option to wash; however, I haven't put it through the wash yet so I cannot comment on how it holds up once washed.

I bought the Pinzon Pyrenees PrimaLoft comforter for my son after reading the wonderful reviews; it looked very handsome when it arrived. I also ordered a blue comforter cover from the same company. When we removed the cover after a few weeks for washing, the inside of the duvet was covered with white fibers. It was so bad that I washed it buttoned up because I was afraid the machine might get clogged up. I was very disappointed and told my son to use a different comforter, since he has a dust allergy.

Bought this comforter for my 90 year old mother so she wouldn't have to wear 3 blankets in bed. She was skeptical that something so light could be warm, but once she tried it she couldn't believe how warm it was. I found a flannel comforter cover for this odd Full/Queen size at LL Bean. I am so happy with this comforter!!

I got the light weight comforter and it is wonderful. It fit nicely in a duvet cover. Due to its thinness,I was skeptical that it would not keep us warm. I don't worry about that anymore. This comforter retains heat extremly well and has kept us warm on the cold nights. I would not hesitate on purchasing this product again. Completely satisfied.
