Equinox International, Comforter Twin Size - Duvet Insert - Quilted Down Alternative Thick Comforter with Corner Tabs - Box Stitched Microfiber (Twin, Navy Blue/Charcoal Grey)

I bought this to get through the Chicago winters. I have a lightweight summer comforter and a super heavy down comforter and I wanted something that I was not going to be chilled under when it dips below 40 degrees and at the same time something I'm not waking up drenched from sweating to death under when my bedroom is heated to the low 60s overnight. This turned out to be perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. It has a lighter feel than the down, I like a little weight on my shoulders as I fall asleep. This does the job, but it is a little lighter than I'd like to have for that winter feel.I've always planned to use a duvet with this. White the color was not important to me, however, the blue/white combo is just as pictured. It fits nicely in my 90x90 duvet, the loops seem strong enough to hold the duvet ties, and having 6 of them is a nice touch. I didn't pay too close attention to the stitching, it is mostly single-stitched and seems like it should hold up... still I'm glad I'm putting it under the duvet to protect it. Of course, it fits my queen size bed, no problem.The thing I love about my down comforter is how fluffy it can be. This comforter ships vacuum sealed and unpacks to be just as flat as my summer comforter. After a run through the laundry, it puffed up nicely and is perfect to be under. My biggest complaint about how it is sold is that I don't have a bag to store this in over the summer. I'm sure I can find something, but that's one more thing to add to my to-do list.At this price, it checks enough boxes to get a 5-star review. If anything changes, I'll update this with what has changed.Queen, Sky Blue/WhiteDOP: 11-2022Original Review: 5 starsPaid: $36.99

*First impressions*Presentation was excellent, the little zipper bag was easy to open and the ribbon around the bag was cute :) As everyone else has said don't be worried when you see the box and it's size, they vacuum packed it like crazy and it will IMMEDIATELY poof up once it's out of the bag. Package came quick, easy to open, professionally presented.*Perception of quality, softness, weight, etc*The quality is what I would expect from a $300 comforter. Nice stitching, soft material (without feeling cheap or flimsy) and great detail with the little loops which are not only on every corner but in the middle as well. The loops only show or pop out when you need them otherwise they lay flat on the fabric.The weight is heavy but light at the same time. Don't ask me how this is, I can't explain it! Light enough to not be suffocating but definitely warm enough to make it very hard to want to get up in the morning.*Experience*After sleeping with it for two nights now (first with a duvet cover and then without) I couldn't be more impressed. This thing is so soft and puffy it's really like being under a cloud. I recommend forgoing the duvet cover though because you don't get to feel the softness of the comforter and for me personally, it was a little too warm.The second night I slept on it without the duvet cover and it was unbelievably soft and cozy. The single most comfortable thing I have ever slept under. Coupled with my memory foam mattress I felt like a queen!*Overall*Soft, inexpensive, warm, fluffy, quality, AWESOME!!! This is worth every penny I spent and I refuse to ever spent hundreds of dollars on another comforter again.

Lots of reviews mentioned this being a light weight blanket. That told me next to nothing. Do I need blankets in addition to this? Is it the opposite of a weighted blanket? Will it blow away in a strong breeze?? So. Here’s a bit more context to it being light weight. We keep our bedroom at about 66-62 degrees through the night. The first few weeks it’s been typical New England outside ranging between 68-32 degrees. I’m the type of person that can be sweltering and just a sheet doesn’t feel covered enough. If it’s cold enough in the winter I’ll often border claustrophobia piling on the blankets. This had enough weight to it to be comfortable without being too heavy or too light, Goldilocks would be pleased. We haven't had to add extra blankets nor sticking feet out to cool off. Size wise, could be wider, see not about the length fellas. (Had to). It tucked in at the foot of the bed but just barely made it over the sides, maybe four inches if I’m being generous. Yes I could have measured before hand but that just didn’t transpire. I’d like to take a side bar to mention packaging. It came in a box within the amazon box. Then a bag within a bag. The first bag made mention of basically be careful cutting open the bag so as not to cut the blanket. What was actually clever though was they included a letter opener tool that easily opened the two bags and had their logo and will absolutely live in our drawer to open mail so kudos for that simple extra thought. Back to the blanket. We washed it upon receipt, before putting it on the bed and it held up fine and fluffed right up. It’s not quite as puffy as a traditional down blanket but no geese were harmed for this blanket so fair trade. The fabric is hard to describe but is nice and soft. The length does add to its coziness as their was plenty to snuggle in at the top. I would buy this blanket again without question.

Very good looking on the bed, comfortable
