I love that this is down alternative, as my husband and I both have severe allergies; but it feels just like real down. It keeps you warm but it is very light, so it does not weigh you down. I like that this is white, as it goes with my decor fine, but I think other colors would also be nice. I do plan on buying a few of these, just to have them. I can no longer have an average, non-down comforter on my bed!!! And this is machine washable (and dry) so that is a big plus. A little advice for washing and drying: wash on gentle cycle only, preferably alone to avoid snags from zippers or buttons and if you have a top-load washer as I do, it should still be fine since the gentle cycle is well, gentle. When drying: choose the absolute lowest heat setting possible and make sure to check it often. Once it is almost all the way dry, you can use the air dry setting and that will finish it and keep it from wrinkling. Make sure it is completely dry before using or storing so as not to create mildew!
