We just got back from a trip to Europe, and as usual, I became obsessed with how comfortable and simple the bedding is. A fitted sheet, two twin down comforters with very soft comforter covers, and down pillows. I researched and researched and shopped and shopped until I knew what I wanted. Then, I got on greatofferstock.com and found each item. This comforter is phenomenal. You would NEVER know it's an alternative comforter. It's as soft as goose down. And for those of you who have said that they're tired of fluffing, etc.... ?? I'm confused. That's what having a down comforter is all about! Every morning, you fluff that bad boy up so that it's nice and lofty for when you jump in bed again the next night. Dreammmmyyyyyy..... Make sure you don't skimp on the flat sheet or the comforter cover. They must be soft as a dream or you lose the whole concept. I bout the Casa Fiori 1000 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Blend sheet set. Yes, I only use the fitted sheet, but you never know... A flat sheet can come in handy. I bought two sets of sheets, so maybe I'll make some shames or duvet covers from the flat sheet.
