After letting it fluff back up to regain any loft lost during shipping, I noticed that several of the baffles were empty -- contained little to no filling. The manufacture's materials content tag also said that this is only 75% down, which would make this a very over priced feather comforter -- not a luxurious comforter by any means."Heavyweight" in the description is right -- most of the weight is from the thick shell required to keep the quills from sticking into you while sleeping. This means that it will eventually flatten out in a few years from its own weight.

The comforter sheds the filling so that the whole room is filled with down. I bought this replace and old comforter that was shedding its down and now I have the same problem with the new one. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I have to admit, I was skeptical when I ordered this comforter. I went to ***** and looked at several heavyweight down comforters but they were all priced at $350 and above, so naturally I wondered why this heavy weight comforter would be such a steal (even though I love, LOVE Overstock.com). I read a couple of the bad reviews and thought that those instances were probably pure accidental bad quality items and it wasn't worth stressing over, so I ordered one and crossed my fingers. When it came in the mail, I immediately put it on my bed and saw that it was very light feeling, thus perhaps it's not as warm as it claims to be? So that night I put on my long sleeved sleeping shirt and got ready to get up in the middle of the night for more blankets. I should tell you I'm a 2 comforter type of girl. I get cold really easily always have 2 comforters except when it's 90 outside. I live in Seattle, where in the winters it gets to be about 30's most of the time, so not freezing, but it's no Florida. Much to my surprise, I was actually hot the next morning! This comforter is so warm and cozy. It's like it heats up around you~! It's lightweight quality allows you to sleep comfortably so you don't feel like you're being buried in cotton. Pair this with a comfy duvet cover and you're all set for the Winter! I love, love, love it and think that this is a MUST HAVE for every bedroom!

I bought the King size for my queen bed, and am very impressed. It is of good quality, hangs over on all sides (I sleep alone, but would be good for a pair +), is not shedding feathers. Living in Minnesota, I need a pretty serious down comforter to survive the winter; this keeps me warm, is not heavy on my body, and makes the bed inviting!

I bought this comforter because it was advertised as heavy weight. I have a need for serious warmth because of a health condition. I also wanted a comforter that was heavy on my body at night. I labored over my decision for a long time and carefully read each quilt description over and over.. The comforter is, in fact, very light in weight and only moderately warm. In fact, I pulled out my old comforter I was replacing, after sleeping with this one a few nights, and am using that instead. Sadly, I was hoping for a toasty wintertime with this.I was worried about not being able to actually see and feel the comforter, and I my worry was well-founded. This is not a Heavy Weight Comforter. I am so disappointed.

I purchased this down comforter a few weeks ago in the king size. It arrived very quickly. There was no identifying packaging (brand, fill power, etc.) so I was a bit unsure of the whole thing when I opened the box. However, after putting my duvet cover on, fluffing it up, and making my bed, I was very pleased! It was fluffy, soft, and so cozy! Last night it got into the 20s outside and my husband and I were warm and toasty with our down comforter. I would definitely recommend it!

MAY YOU RIP, 12/10/09 - 10/10/10. feathers everywhere by 6month mark. tried to revive, with no luck. baffled squares didn't help. had to 'fluff' 2/week and risk being 'snowed on' with feathers. now have to buy another one to replace.

Excellent quality, well baffled (doesn't bunch up too much) and for me the perfect weight (warm, but not so heavy that I get sweaty).

I read all the reviews before I bought this comforter, so I can't say that I was not forewarned. I thought "oh...it won't happen to me", "oh...those people write reviews for everything and they have high standards". But, I was wrong. I have never written a review before, but after 1 year there was NO down left in the center and all the down went to the edges. I had to give it away. I went back to my prior comforter that is about 20 years old (yeah, I know gross), but it is in much better shape... more down and better distributed. So, if you bother to read these reviews....then heed my advise.... do NOT waste your money! 1 year later and I have to get another one. I will get one that is probably twice as much as this one. But I know that a good comforter can last more than a decade rather than less than one year.

This is a good down comforter. If you've never had a down comforter before, you'll probably love it. It's soft and cozy and warm and light. HOWEVER, this comforter is advertised as "heavyweight," which it is not. It is comparable to "medium warmth" of most other down comforters. The loft is okay, but it certainly doesn't feel like 700 fill power. I thought a 700 fill power King down comforter for this price was too good to be true, and it was. It's not bad, it's just not heavyweight. If you're looking for a super thick, tons of down, tons of loft comforter, keep looking. If you want a regular, medium warmth comforter, this is perfect for you. You shouldn't be able to use a "heavyweight" comforter year round, and you could use this year round no problem.The seam around the edges is not that nice looking, and I wouldn't use it out of a duvet. Additionally, it's VERY small- I ordered a king for my queen bed, and it's perfect (slightly *smaller* than the lightweight summer queen comforter I already owned from BB&B). I wouldn't order this comforter if I had a king sized mattress. DEFINITELY order one size up and don't expect heavyweight.

At first when I received my comforter it was great. But then about a week later no matter how much I tried to fluff it up, the ENTIRE middle has close to no feathers in it. But the sides of it are great with a lot of feathers. but the middle is freezing at night. If you do not sleep very close to the sides of your bed all the middle of the comforter is like only sleeping with with two sheets with no warmth and no feathers. Also the add said it was heavy and it is not at all.I thought that this was a good deal, but it wasn't. I would not reccomend this product.

Smells terrible. Really really really smelly. We already have a very expensive comforter, we needed a spare one. I cheaped out and bought this one --the thread count on the cover is low, so it's scratchy and not soft. Feels synthetic. And the thing smells so bad I can't use it. Threw out the box or else I would have returned it. Just wasted my money. Will be forced to air outside more and more and hopefully put a duvet on it with some sachet. Honestly, it has a gross musty odor, smells like nasty duck feathers.

Beware the claim that this comforter has a baffle box design. When mine arrived there were clearly open sections in each baffle box, allowing down to quickly shift from the center (where you want it) to the edges (where it's useless). Fluff this comforter every night, not every week!

You have to get this! It is so thick and lovely, I live in Vegas and it is hot here but this comforter is so wonderful I don't care, I just crank down the AC and enjoy. This think is like 7 inches thick when it is fluffed up. My parents have a similar one that they payed almost $2000.00 for. YOU CANT BEAT THIS DEAL!!

This was my first comforter. I read all of the reviews and it took me months to decide on one. I have had this comforter for three months. It fluffled up real nice right out of the box. Looks great on my queen bed, however, I bought a King for my Queen and its still a little short on the sides of the bed. After three months the comforter is leaving tiny little white feathers all over my dark colored sheets and carpet. Even though it is not washer proof I am afraid to take it to the Cleaners. I bought it in mid-winter and it was great for the cold chilly nights in New Mexico, maybe even a bit too warm, but now it is warmer and the comforter is just too heavy even just using it with a sheet. I am afraid I will have to dump this one and stick to a 100% hyperallgeric alternative down comforter.

If you have multiple chemical sensitivity or environmental illness, you must buy this. It doesn't smell! I aired it out in the field and 3 days later it barely smells. No scented detergent stuck to it, no perfume, no chemical oders! I wear a gas mask to go shopping, lived in a tent on NY mountain top through blizzards for a year, open windows in winter with snow indoors, built remote cabin/home, am super sensitve to fragrances, can't work normal jobs, can't use a normal bed, washed sheep wool to make a bed, AND THIS COMFORTER IS USEABLE!!!!! It's so hard to buy bedding that will air out and can be used within a few months... I'm so happy that I will be warm soon. My clothes/towels/etc air out for years in snow/rain, wash 5 to 20 times, then throw away from too smelly. Life is so hard, this will be a Godsend. This is the least smelly thing I've bought in a long time. I cannot believe it. I want to cry.

Best comforter ever purchased. Will buy many more.

Great out of the get go but over time the squares start to lose their loftiness in certain parts you smash more often...like near the top.
