I carefully read every review before purchasing this comforter, and am so excited and in love with it. I have had it on the bed for some time now, all through the winter, and into spring, and it is a perfect weight/warmth for the Pacific Northwest. I don't like a lot of weighty bedding, and with this warm comforter, I even removed the extra blanket, so we have only the flannel sheets and comforter, and the window open. It is soft, and for a side note, matches the 18" microsuede feather and down filled throw pillow set of 2 that comes in red. These red pillows on the red comforter is amazing. I haven't washed the comforter yet, and not sure if a king size will fit in the washer, but I have spot cleaned a dirty paw print, and although it turns almost black when dampened, it dried with no spot of evidence of paws. If you are considering adding a red to your bedroom, this is a beautiful red, and a very nice comforter. I am happy with it.
