Chose this queen sized comforter due to the high ratings and excellent price. I opted for the extra warmth version. It is very warm but not too hot, good for these chilly New England nights. The squares keep the down from shifting. The fabric is woven tightly so feathers don't escape. There is a definite down scent to this item, like you get wearing a down jacket in winter, not unpleasant but definitely detectable. We still need to buy a cover for it, that might mitigate it a bit. My only caveat It's a bit stiff so instead of draping in around us, it sort of floats on top which causes it to drift during the night. Hopefully it will soften up over time. Overall pleased with the purchase.
