5.0 out of 5 stars
Very plush and elegant, May 16, 2006
I purchased this recently and would compare it to the finest I have experienced in exclusive 5 star hotels and then some. This is the best comforter I have had the pleasure of sleeping beneath but be sure it is sufficiently chilled in your room. This breathes very well for as thick as it is but it is a cold climate comforter so turn on the air con too very cool or use it in the winter if you are in a seasonal climate.

Excellent comforter! Excellent comforter! Excellent comforter!, December 18, 2006
I bought this comforter and I must say it is absolutely the best I've seen for the money. It is fluffy and well made. I bought a 1000 TC duvet to put over it so it won't need to be dry cleaned for a long while. This made it a little more heavy, but still very comfortable.
And it is warm! Once you get into bed, you are comfortable well under five minutes. In fact it will more than pay for itself over time in heating bills alone. I usually turn the furnace completely off at night and was amazed how pleasantly cozy the bed is. When I awake, sometimes the temperature outside is well below freexing and in the room was around 50-55F....but with this comforter you would never know it. However if you live in a warmer climate, this one is not for you!
Other benefits is it is made in the USA and not some sweatshop overseas, and the down is high quality Hungarian goose down instead of inferior Chinese down. (By the way, there is NO such thing as Siberian goose down...look it up on google..that region is too cold for geese and is marketing hype by dishonest sellers.) This comforter also has a fifteen year warranty, and the cover is gorgous, (but still get a duvet in order save trips to the cleaners).
Years ago, I studied in Norway. In that climate, comforters like this are the norm.This is as good as any I used there or anywhere.If I could give it more than five stars, I would. As another reviewer said, it is five star hotel quality.

True Baffled Box construction?, December 8, 2007
This review is from: Royal Velvet Majestic Gold Siberian White Down Full-Queen Comforter (Kitchen)
I bought this about a month ago and noticed just recently that the down shifts from box to box. if you hold the comforter up vertically, you'll notice that the "true baffled box" construction isn't true at all. there are 4 inch channels between all of the boxes, that allow the down to shift, causing most of the down to move to the corners. otherwise a very warm purchase, but the baffled box construction is a lie and causes heat loss from the middle of the comforter where you need it most.
