Best Comforter?

[fernie]

Do you have a comforter or recently purchased a comforter that you recommend? I'm in the market to get everyone here at the house a nice, big, thick, downy comforter and I ordered a couple from Linens N Things but they were too thin.

(I order everything online as I work from home and order online)

So if you have one you recommend and can be ordered online, I'd appreciate it :D

[Emancipated]

L 'n T carries many different brand names; which one did you order and what was the fill count? I'm looking at the Eddie Bauer one (medium warmth) one which seem superior to the Ikea one I've had for over 8 years. That said, it has served me well but I'm looking for something a little thicker and more comfortable.

Keep in mind when you add a duvet cover, it also helps with efficiency. I use my comfortor without a cover in the summer and one in the winter; the difference is quite dramatic.

Alternatively from L 'n T, you could see what Sears.ca has. They carry a brand I really like which is Pacific Coast Feathers. I bought a featherbed from that company and loved it; I can only imagine the same quality from their duvets.

[Dustbunny]

The Shopping Channel usually has a really good selection and they carry some very nice things for good prices. http://www.theshoppingchannel.com/category/house+%26+home/bedroom.do?e=1&N=101069
If you explore the site, you'll see they also sell sets and by piece.

Costco.ca also usually has a lot of sets http://www.costco.ca/Common/Category.aspx?whse=BCCA&Ne=4000000&eCat=BCCA|89&N=4009194&Nr=P_CatalogName:BCCA&cat=255&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-CA&topnav=

One thing, if you want a lot of loft and warmth, buy a duvet (you'll need a duvet cover). They come in various weights with various fills from feathers to silk to wool. TSC has some good ones made by Westex (I think mine is now 5 or 6 years old and still great while a higher priced one I got at the Bay had to go back). The nice part about feather duvets is they don't actually weigh a lot but are warm in the winter and stay cool in the summer (except for the hottest weather). Comforters also come in various weights but sometimes have less fill if the cover is heavy so allow for easier washing.

I am also looking for one, especially the down duvet.

I found some info on choosing down duvets...
http://www.featherind.com/FAQ.html

The Costco one seems to be very good price for king size & has 600 fill power...the higher the warmer it is. I was looking at Beddington/ LNT but the lowest priced for king 600 fill is over $250 plus...>:(

Good thread... ;)

[patrob]

...I ordered a couple from Linens N Things but they were too thin.

Which ones did you order from LNT? I was looking at LNT but found them pricey & don't want a thin one either. Did you know that LNT every sometime has a special 20% off coupon...:idea:

I think I will order from Costco & if I don't like it, it will go back:cheesygri

[Dustbunny]

For those of you looking for feather duvets, really pay special attention to the cover. One 250 thread count cover is not like another 250, as some are just smoother and denser. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you are getting picked by feathers, but it's really important to give anything you buy a good checking with your bare hands to see if you can detect any picks. If you can feel them poking through in the package, go to another type. Also a separate zippered cover of good fabric can really help. That saves a lot of washing even when you are using a decorative duvet cover as well.

Another trick is the baffles. If a duvet has square baffles, that helps (doesn't totally prevent, but it does help) keep feathers distributed. Meanwhile the ones done with channels (just lines of fill) can be handy if you have two people who like two temps as you can turn the duvet and shake some of the feathers over to the cold person's side. For the most part though, much nicer to have feathers trapped in baffles.

Also know that those who know their feathers know you can wash them. Some clerks will tell you not to, but they don't usually have as much product knowledge. Feather duvets etc. can be washed in your washing machine (if it's big enough like a front loader) as long as you don't use fabric softener.

I bought my duvet and feather bed at Shopping Channel and can say they are really good (especially their separate covers). I also bought pillows at Costco and am very happy with them as well. Both places supply product with good covers.

Agree...the higher the thread count of the cotton cover, the better. You don't want anything sharp poking you when you're sleeping:D

True about washing them in your washer vs. dry cleaning...who really does that:lol:

[CSK'sMom]

We bought our duvet at Sears a couple of years ago. A couple of times a year they have theirs on sale for 50% off. We ended up getting a really good goose down duvet with a 500 thread count cover. It has the square baffles as well. IIRC, with the 50% off it was about $150. With that said, we absolutely love it. We sleep with our bedroom windows open all winter long and it's warm. We find we don't need any blankets, just the sheets and the duvet. We do that same as Dustbunny and just use the duvet cover on it's own in the summer or we have a satin quilt set. And I finally got up the nerve to wash our this fall. In the washer it went and then outside a several hours in the sun. Then into the dryer on low with several tennis balls to fluff up the down.

We have had our present down duvet for over ten years. Yes, same one. It gets regular washing and air fluff in the dryer between washings (if it can't go outside). We wash it about every 6 to 9 months. We also hang it outside as often as we can.
The baffle (waffle) type is the best as you get less bunching of the feathers although the tubular design is also good because you can actually push the down/feathers down to the bottom if it gets a little warm under the covers.
Make sure you are getting down or no less than a 75% down to feather mixture. Also the cover needs to be tight enough to prevent the feathers from coming out. Down is very soft and does not come out but the feathers will. Feathers are the things that usually come out as down does not yet have the shaft developed and is the softest.
As for cost, well, this is one of those that has a huge price range and you really do get what you pay for. Don't expect down if you are spending only $150 (and even then, be wary).
Also, I have never seen a real good deal on the Shopping Chanel, especially if you tack on shipping. Your local stores will often give better deals.

[CSK'sMom]

That's what we found Pete when we were looking. With most places having regular sales we could do better buying locally at a sale price. I will say that our duvet is all down, no feathers at all. Shouldn't the traditional white sales be coming up after Christmas, maybe Feb. :confused:

Do you remember what the fill & weight of the down was? I know that the higher the fill & weight, the warmer/better the duvet is.

I found some really good deals on Costco.ca & they are around $160 range...so I will give it a try. Looks like very good weight of the down & fill amount...plus it's Costco...they stand behind the products they sell...it can always go back I guess if I am not happy :| I have seen some duvets at LNT & Beddington websites & they sell them for about $100 to $200 more for similar fill/weight of down vs. Costco.ca.

I don't remember the exact info on it patrob, I even just ran up and looked at the tag on it and it doesn't say. I do remember though that it's quite high because we do sleep with the windows open. ;) Overall, it's quite heavy and really "poufy". Even with the cover on it that I made (2 600 count sheets with a panel of Indian embroidered fabric in the center) you can still see the individual square baffles. The other thing I would recommend when buying a duvet is to get one size larger than your bed if you can. We have a queen size bed yet a king size duvet. That's actually why we ended up buying a duvet in the first place, because the bed-in-a-bag sets tend to have crappy comforters in them.

You are brave having that window open at night...I would freeze:D

I wish they would have a larger than king size duvet, since that's our bed size...so we don't have a choice of going larger:( But that's a great idea for people who have queen size beds...getting a king size duvet!

I will try the Costco one, looks pretty good ;) And then I can really comment on it.

Fill power is a function of down compression and release. One ounce of down is compressed and then once let go, the expansion is measured. I cannot remember if it is in square inches or what. I do remember that an average fill power is 575.
I am also not as much of a fan of Costco as perhaps you and I think that the price is very low. I hope that it is not indicative of the quality or quantity of the down. The description does not give the % of down/feathers and at that price I would suspect there area lot of feathers. Down is very expensive, upwards to $75 (on a website that I cannot find anymore, sorry) and ounce for the real good stuff and if your duvet is 44 to 49 ounces...well how much down is in there?

Those do look pretty good, especially the "extra warmth" ones. Anyone here bought these from Costco that can share the experience?

I called Costco & asked what the % was & it's 75% down & 25% feathers with 600 fill power.

I know that it would be better to have 100% down, but then the cost might be also double or triple. I have seen some duvets that have 800 fill power but then the prices are like $600-$700 dollars. I am not willing to spend that much unfortunately:rolleyes:

[mart242]

Look at where they are made. Don't get the crappy ones made in china with the chemical filling ;) Get the real down ones from Canada. Word of advice: don't get the thickest / warmest you can find because you'll be sweating like a pig unless it's +10 in the bedroom. ;)

[Dustbunny]

That is very true about not always needing the most fill. I have one rated in the middle and it's plenty warm (my window is always open, even in winter). Also, if memory serves (and I suppose which stock they have in) the ones at Costco are made in Canada as are the ones sold by TSC.

Just curious, why is your window always open in winter? :D

Because I like fresh air and cool air, even in minus 30 my window is open a bit.

[excel]

do most use a cover for their comforter?

[patrob]

do most use a cover for their comforter?

Yes...always. Easier to wash it than a large comforter/duvet.

[Dustbunny]

do most use a cover for their comforter?

Yes. I have both a duvet cover that is the plain cotton type (simply to keep the duvet cleaner longer) as well as the decorative variety because it's more beautious. The first one stays on all the year the second one changes to suit. Also you can get more warmth depending on the cover. For instance, my microsuede cover really adds warmth in the winter but is a bit much in the summer.

The covers are almost mandatory if you have pets who jump on the bed. The covers take the abuse and hair and are way easier to wash than hauling the duvet into the washer all the time.

Just purchased one from Costco store 'Kirkland' brand (600 fill power, 370 TC, 44 oz. weight) king size for only $129 & it's great....very, very warm at night & feels very cozy. I was willing to pay double that but having this one, I can't see why anyone would want to pay more money. You get lots of warmth, it makes you wonder what more can you get by paying $200, $300 or even more:rolleyes: Any more down & you will be sweating like a pig:lol: :D

I think Costco offers very good value for your money - I highly recommend the Kirkland goose down duvet! Plus you can always return it if you are not happy & get your full money back, guaranteed :)

Queen size 36.05oz weight and 370 thread count with 600 fill power for $99.

It says it has oversized dimensions of 90x98". Normal ones are 86x90. I wonder if it will fit into my duvet cover. Haven't opened it yet. :twisted:

Don't worry, it will fit just fine. I have the same one in a king size & love it:razz: ...sometimes I think it's almost too hot under it:lol:, so I guess the down/feathers are doing a good job:)

[synaptech]

I'm alergic to feathers so the down one was out, but Costco had a King polyester filled set for $83. Great price for a duvet.

[SMC23]

Another premium brand to look into is Pacific Coast. They specialize in DOWN filled duvets and pillows. Fairly pricey though. They sell them at Sears. We recently got a the king 5 star duvet on sale for $359.99 regular $599.99

[CoffeeAddict]

For the super cheap there's a sale at the Down Under outlet at College park in GTA. $40 for any size duvet! They say down filled but it's most likely a synthetic/feather blend with a hint of down :D The brand is Wamsutta which is a large popular brand but for $40 something has to be sacrificed somewhere!

My parents have an ikea duvet and they love it! It's a down/feather blend and I think it was in the $100 or cheaper range. No feathers poke through the duvet.

Me I like the "lead apron" effect. I throw like 3-4 blankets on in the wintertime and love feeling smothered :D

I can't justify paying that much:| Why don't you try the Costco one & compare, I bet you will find it equal in warmth...give it a try & save yourself some money:!: Plus you can always return it if you're not happy. You have nothing to lose.

Never used a mattress topper, so can't comment.

Personally don't see much diff. in the more expensive comforter :| I would still go with the less expensive Kirkland, we have had it for a year now & it's very warm. I actually saw the Kirkland in king size at the store at $179, so looks like the online price is lower even with shipping charge added :confused:

Thanks for the input patrob! I would agree taht the kirkland one would probably suffice. But my SO loves puffy blankets and the hutterite one looks really poofy. We'll take a look at the kirkland brand first. Hopefully they have it in store here.

[crisis1900]

also a note on the costco down duvets, it comes in an unusual size, it's wide like a king but length is like a queen. It was a real PITA looking for a duvet cover with the fabric we wanted and liked. Luckily for us my wife just made our duvet cover.

I called my local Costco and they say this item is not available in any store, and I need to purchase it off of the internet. Furthermore, its considerably more expensive, the King at $150 plus $17 shipping, and $125 plus shipping for the queen. I am looking for the queen.

I don't have a memory foam mattress but I do have a pillow top and a feather bed on top of that and a feather duvet for the top. All I can say is totally comfy and warm and I love it. You do have to be really sure the covers on both are good fabric because when feathers poke through it's a pain, literally. If you can feel the quills when you are buying, don't bother getting it. There should be nothing poking through at all and I've found you have to really feel them as price is often not a good indicator of what happens in that regard.

Indeed. I figured out shortly after I posted that the SKU Costco had on their website for this item was incorrect, hence the girl telling me it was not available in store. I picked one up for the $119 price in Etobicoke. Funny enough, I was in another Costco tonight, and it was $129. The prices of these things are about as consistent as oil prices.

I have yet to try it out though ... I'll post back once I've used it.

On the costco website it says about Hutterite are made in Canada.

Are the Kirklands made in Canada too? Website doesn't say anything about where they are made in.

I am tempted to buy Kirkland for the reasonable price if they are made in Canada, if not, then i would go for Hutterite

On the packaging it says "Made in USA from imported materials"

Glad i found this year old thread

i was gonna purchase that Kirkland Goose down from Costco.


but i thought it was made in Canada! i guess for that price that would be too good to be true?
