Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was a little hesitant when ordering this, as the price (80$) seemed around 50% too low for a cotton/down comforter. Even "down alternative" synthetic comforters were creeping around this price range (40-70$). However, I am quite pleased with this purchase as it is a great value with quality construction. The tag states that it is at least 75% duck down. I found no loose threads or poor stitching. Each pocket is well sealed, and puffs up a few inches uniformly. All of the pockets are evenly filled, and do not leak. I found no feathers popping through the fabric, although there were a few small fragments of feathers that flew around right after unpacking it. It does make a bit of a ruffling noise when moved since it is air filled, but that is not an issue for me. When the edges are lifted up, it lets out heat pretty quick. I find this as more of a feature than a problem though, as I don't wake up from sleep when I get too hot and roll over now. The thread count is properly labeled (233 threads) and is cotton. Many vendors lie and state something absurd like 800 or 1500 threads, when it is actually 3-4 times lower, as they are counting each winding that makes up each thread, rather than the threads themselves. There are loops to secure it to a duvet cover. I purchased a flannel one which worked out quite nicely. It is lightweight and warm, and I find it quite suitable with the ambient temperature ~60-65 F. I was previously using a synthetic poly-fill comforter that weighed twice the amount of this, but provided much less warmth and comfort. This product is much better than a synthetic product, as it does not trap in moisture or air, which can be quite irritating. It also doesn't really generate static and cling when moved.
