I have to be honest, when I initially received the comforter I was a bit disappointed. When I put it on my bed, I thought it's too lightweight, it's too soft, it can't be warm. Don't judge a book by the cover. First off, the outside is so luxurious and soft. I refer to it as heaven. The sherpa lining although it's not heavy, is absolutely perfect. This is the coziest comforter I have ever owned. It keeps me warm without being heavy. I could live in my bed. It's also a perfect king size, enough coverage that it hangs perfectly on both sides of the bed. You will need to have it cleaned at a facility that has an oversized washer and dryer. Do not even attempt washing this at home.
