This is a very good comforter. First, I didn't want to spend a fortune on a comforter. I looked at many comforters at all the various price points and read many reviews prior to my purchase. This comforter keeps me warm and is not too heavy. The outside of the comforter is 100% cotton which I wanted because microfiber comforters look and feel flimsy and make me hot. I'm a hot sleeper, so I didn't opt for the "extra warm" version, but the "year around" version. The comforter comes vacuum sealed so you have to give it time to fluff up. After a few hours on the bed, I put the comforter in the dryer for 15 minutes on low. It is not a big super poofy comforter, (opt for the extra warm if you want that extra lift) which is fine with me because I plan on purchasing a cover and extra blanket to layer the bed. It 's box construction so the fill is evenly distributed and features and all around piping stitching making it extra durable. It seems to be well constructed box and I have not experienced any leakage of feathers. This comforter suits our needs and is great value for money. You can spend $350.00 on other comforters, I'm glad I didn't and I will be purchasing more for the other beds in our house.
