I was looking for a new lightweight comforter that didn't contain ethically or allergenic-ally questionable materials. This fits the bill. It fluffed up nice and even, it didn't have any noticeable odors, and the cover material is soft and beautiful. I put it in a comforter cover straight away and my plan is to never wash the blanket itself. We use a futon so the full/queen size is sufficient coverage for myself and my husband. If you have a big bed you might size up but this fits the dimensions of a queen size duvet cover perfectly. I decided to give 5 stars because the other reviews helped me to select this item. Time will tell, but so far, so good. Received this only 3 business days after ordering. Paid $$ in total for the queen size delivered to the door with sale coupon. Purchased this item in March 2015.
