4.0 out of 5 stars excellent quality for the price, September 18, 2005

This quilt is pretty much what I expected at amazon's price. Though probably not worth full price, the value here is good. It's very soft and though I haven't slept under it yet feels just like any down comforter would. It smells good and is packaged well. My only complaints about it are that it is slightly shorter than the Pottery Barn duvet cover which I put it in and it has no loops at the corners with which to tie the corners of the duvet cover. I simply tied the ties around the corner of the comforter and this worked OK though I wonder if they would come loose if this was slept under often (I'm simply using it in the guest bedroom which is low traffic). Overall it's pretty good, though if I could afford it I'd probably spring for the higher end real-down comforters from Pottery Barn.

2.0 out of 5 stars Does NOT have the same loft as real down!, January 3, 2007

This "comforter" is a disappointment. It's more of a blanket. It's very thin and does NOT have the same loft and warmth as real down, as stated in the product description. I was expecting two fluffy and cozy, twin size comforters for my children, ages 3 and 5. The the soft, cotton cover is well-made with satin piping around the edges. The manufacturer put money into the cover, but skimped on the filling. When the comforter is held up to the light, there are many places where the light shines through the filling. I would have returned the two comforters, but decided against it, since I'd have to pay return shipping for two boxes. (They were shipped separately.) I put the comforters in "Pinzon 100% Cotton Solid Flannel Twin Duvets" (also ordered from Amazon) and use them as "blankets" for the kids. They ended up being very expensive blankets! I rated two stars, rather than one, because of the quality cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars The "down" blanket I've always wanted!!!, May 14, 2008

This review is from: 260 Thread Count Down Alternative Comforter, Twin (Kitchen)

I have always loved down for its warmth, softness, and loft; however, since becoming a vegetarian years ago I became aware of how down is produced, and decided not to buy it anymore. (It is not always just a byproduct of the food industry, but a process that can put live birds through a lot of pain and misery). So when I saw this product, at this great price, I was so excited to try it, and only misgiving was there was a low review because it didn't have a lot of loft to it. Well, I got the comforter and it is wonderful!! It is the softest, warmest, most comfortable blankie I own. You will never get a chill with this on you. It gives that satisfying "whoosh" when you press on it, and has some weight to it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was I wanted to be truthful in saying it doesn't have a lot of loft - it is about 1 inch thick. For me it is 5 stars but I want to be helpful if you really need that look and feel of the "big puffy cloud" comforter. I got it for cuddling and napping on my couch, so the fact that it is not too fluffy makes it easy to fold and store in my closet. I love this blanket!
