We own the medium weight, and we sleep perfectly comfortably with it during the spring, winter, and fall months. It’s filled with European down, has a baffled-box construction, and comes with three different weights: light, medium, and extra. It’s the only bed covering my husband and I use all year long, and it’s still fluffy and washes well (I’ve machine-washed it at a laundromat and sent it to the dry cleaner). I’ve owned this down comforter from the Company Store’s Legends Hotel collection for over four years, and it has held up great. The cotton sateen shell feels smooth to the touch and has a luxe sheen to it, so it can stand alone without a cover.įilling: 600–650 fill power European down | Shell: 300-thread-count combed-cotton-sateen shell | Weight: Three different weights | Care: Machine washable It feels bouncier than a down-filled one, which requires a little more fluffing, but not heavy or bulky, and the thickness is a nice in-between for average sleepers. I requested the all-season weight to test, and while I normally use a down comforter, I found this poly-filled one to be just as comfortable. The comforter has a baffle box construction and each pocket is filled with hypoallergenic recycled PET microfiber, which experts say is just as cozy as real down. (It comes in three different warmth levels - all-season, lightweight, and ultra-warm, depending on what type of sleeper you are.) Courtney Laine, owner of Victorian bed and breakfast Batterby House and cottage in Hudson, New York, calls it a good mid-range option for those looking for that cloud-like feeling of sleeping under a down comforter without the hefty price tag that down bedding usually goes for. Hayslett loves the long-staple cotton-sateen shell’s softness and its fluffy looks, while interior designer Lyndsi Lee appreciates that it can be used all year long. (If you want to learn more about the composition of down, head to our story about the best down pillows.) Most have a baffle-box construction, which means they’re made with discrete boxlike pockets that each contain an equal amount of filling, preventing it from moving around the whole comforter or clumping.įilling: Down alternative (recycled polyester) | Shell: Long-staple cotton sateen | Weight: Light, medium, and heavyweight | Care: Dry-cleanīrooklinen makes some of our favorite bedding and bath items, including its silky smooth sateen sheets, plush towels, and affordable linen sheets, which is why it’s no surprise that its down-alternative comforter would also come highly recommended by three of the experts I consulted for this story. All-down comforters are more expensive than blended ones. Many of our experts prefer down alternative, which is typically made from synthetic polyester fibers, sometimes derived from recycled plastic, because it can be more ecofriendly, hypoallergenic, and less lumpy than down.īut for a luxury-hotel sleeping experience, nothing, according to interior designer Elizabeth Strianese of Elizabeth Strianese Interiors, compares to high-end goose-down comforters, which she says have “left a mark on my sleeping psyche.” Without getting too technical, down comforters are either filled with down (the fluffy insulation beneath the feathers) from geese and ducks or a blend of down and feathers. Not only will it impact how warm the comforter will be, but it will also play a huge role in the comfort of your bed, especially for those who want something exceptionally fluffy. Sheritca Maynard of Interior Design by S&S says the fill of your comforter should be the quality you pay the most attention to, whether you’re looking for down or down-alternative options. (All the prices listed are for a queen size.)

I’ve included both here.) Below, you’ll find down-filled (and down-alternative) options, plus versions with bamboo shells, dual-temperature control, and one that comes with a convenient zippered cover.

(While the terms duvet and comforter are often used interchangeably, they technically mean different things: A comforter doesn’t require a cover, but a duvet does. To help you find the perfect one, I spoke to interior designers and hospitality professionals about what they actually use in their projects, hotels, and homes, and I even tested a couple myself.

A bad one can feel meager, clammy, or oppressive, while a great one can make it feel hard to get out of bed. The comforter offers you cozy shelter through cold nights. We at the Strategist treasure our luxurious sheets, but, in truth, the comforter is the workhorse of the bed.
