The comforter set is perfectly fluffy and soft and comfortable and warm and smashing on my bed. Such a great value for the money. I was worried about the "smell" that people were talking about, but I guess those folks have never owned down before. There is NO oppressive odor. Oh, and the best thing is that that pillows have no hard quills poking out. Very nice quality better then anything I was looking at in local chain store and comparable to the high quality comforters I saw is expensive home and linen shops. So nice. So pleased with this purchase. Shop with confidence on this one. Good luck!
