Product Description

Wool is the perfect insulating material for a comforter--keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Cotton and wool comforters are also an ideal choice for often chilly air-conditioned bedrooms. This comforter features a 233-thread-count 100% cotton cover that surrounds a layer of 100% wool that out-wears and out-performs synthetic fiber fills. Wool fibers have a natural crimp with a built-in "memory" which returns the fibers to their original shape after compression. This means that a wool-filled comforter will remain soft and fluffy. And unlike down which can shift into corners or form lumps, wool forms a natural batting so this comforter will not loose its shape, form lumps, or shift. The sewn-through end to end construction further ensures the comforter will retain its shape, eliminating cold spots. Wool's natural absorbency wicks away perspiration and releases its slowly though evaporation leaving you feeling less chilled in winter and comfortably cooled during the summer. In addition, wool-fill retains small amounts of lanolin, making it naturally resistant to dust mites. May be dry cleaned or hand wash (do not agitate) with a wool detergent; may use a gentle spin cycle to extract the water. Do not place in a dyer; hang up or lay flat to dry. Wool comforters may also be refreshed by hanging them in the sun.

I bought this when it was a Woot special side deal. What I needed it for was a comforter that didn't make us hot in the summer. We keep our AC on 65 at night, which is just cool enough for us to need a blanket, but the down comforter would make us unbearably hot at points in the night that would start this under the blanket/kick off the blanket cycle that affected our sleep. I bought this thinking cotton and wool are both breathable so, it would stop that cycle at night.

It has. I use duvets on my comforters so I guess I'm not that sensitive to the chemicals used on the comforter itself. I washed in in scorching hot water to try to shake loose any left over chemicals and it came out like a champ. I don't think this would be all that impressive in the winter, but it's a great summer (when you run the AC all summer) comforter.

Had I known this was a daily deal, I would have updated this. I made an error in my review, I didn't wash this on hot water, rather I washed it on the "wool" setting of my washer in whatever temperature it chooses. Then tumble dried it on low. It states that it needs to be dry cleaned, but I don't think it does. It was the duvet I bought the same time I bought this that I washed in scalding water.

We run our A.C. most nights and this is great. although I am sad to say for you people who seem negative and don't think it is filled with wool, well it is. I am sensative to wool and I thought for the price it would only have traces of wool in it, but my allergies tell me otherwise. For now it is on my bed but soon maybe becoming something nice for someone else to enjoy. Good product for the price.

This comforter is great! It is soft, comfortable, warm, and cozy. It is lightweight, so we do not feel squished under heavy covers.

The only downside to this was that it smelled pretty bad when we first opened the packaging. However, the smell went away after a couple of days. I have had that same problem before with a wool blanket that I had owned a few years ago, so it did not bother me. I expected it.

We would gladly buy more of these in the future. They are a good value. :)
