DWR Heavyweight Feather Down Comforter California King, 100% Cotton Cover, Warm Hotel Style Bed Quilt, Thicker Winter Duvet Insert for Cold Sleepers (Ivory White, 104x96)

I have spent probably well over 100 hours finding my new duvet insert. Previously ordered a very spendy one but then was informed it was on back order and I did not want all that research going to waste so started with my checklist all over again on Amazon. LOVE a noisy shell on a duvet. To me that means it is cool to the touch and cambric cotton. Very important to me. I made the mistake of microfiber/polyester before and was very disappointed. I bought King Size. It has tabs to secure it to a duvet cover.I wanted the lightweight, but I guess I ordered the medium weight, and it is perfect. For the last 4 nights, I am not sleeping hot (I am also a VERY HOT SLEEPER so also changed to linen sheets which have been a game changer TG!) and it is super luxurious and a bit (perfectly) crunchy. It is in my duvet cover and that takes most of the initial crunch out, but you know this is QUALITY. Excellent duvet insert for an excellent price. Make sure you put it in your dryer for 7-10 minutes after you open it. With tennis balls preferably. :)

Very nice comforter very puffy. If you’re a hot sleeper, I suggest getting something thinner because this is definitely for the colder weather

I used to purchase these divine duvet inserts from a store and couldn't remember where they were from, so I went on a hunt. These met all expectations. I love that these have crisp, heavier, cooling fabric on the outside with adequate down inside. They are top quality for a fair price! Meets its heavyweight description and feels wonderful to sleep under. Don't be fooled by its packaging, they do fluff up to high-end hotel standards. So happy!

Edit: 05/10/24Was contacted by customer service and they were super helpful. They remedied the situation and were kind enough to offer a refund. They also gave me some good insight into their product and addressed my concerns. I will definitely be trying out another of their products. Overall I did really enjoy the comforter and still have hope that the smell will go away so that we can use it. I have been looking for a down comforter for the longest and so when my sister recommended this brand I started searching! I read all the reviews and although I saw some negative comments the good ones outweighed them! The comforter is the perfect weight and amount of fluff I wanted. BUT it makes so much noise, I decided to just put up with it and give it a try but the smell was just overwhelming. I put it in the drier but it didn’t help with the smell. Decided to keep it extended out and hope the smell would go away but unfortunately it hasn’t. Sad because I like the comforter and how it feels to sleep with but the noise is just to much considering I’m a light sleeper and the smell is too much for my husband who is sensitive to smell. The comforter also had something pink inside don’t know if it was a feather or what but I inserted a picture. The comforter also had thread already unraveling which I think shouldn’t be happening considering its new. Also feathers are already poking and falling out. Disappointed because it’s gonna be hard to fit it back into the box so I’ll probably won’t even bother returning.

We have had this for over a month and really like it. I live in the PNW and our all-season comforter was just too warm, even during the cold months. We switched to this one and have been pleasantly surprised. It is still quite fluffy and luxurious but definitely less warm, which we like. I was impressed with the quality. There are loops at the corner to attach the duvet. I followed the instructions and fluffed it in the dryer and it turned out beautifully. Definitely recommend!

The blanket does smell awful, and I am not generally sensitive to scents. It has been about a month and has not faded despite fluffing in the dryer with wool balls sprinkled in lavender oil. I’m hesitant to wash it because that always ruins my down blankets, even though they say it can be machine washed. I will say it is a great mid-weight, it feels fluffy without being suffocating. Not bad for the price, I’m a bit used to higher price points from my pre-pandemic era life but I guess this is what I’ve got now.

Handsome.warm and BIG....luv it.

This comforter is amazing. It’s super warm and keeps me nice and toasty all night. Loved it so much I ordered another one for summer time.

The media could not be loaded. I see a lot of negative reviews from people who are clearly new to duvet feathers.If you’re not familiar with duvet feathers please read!CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZEAlways buy one size bigger than what you want. You’ll want to buy a duvet cover one size smaller than the duvet so it will be snug and it will help give more an appearance of a fluffy cloud.So if you want a real queen size I’ll suggest buying a king size duvet to put in a queen size duvet cover. Queen size duvet for a double size duvet cover. California king size duvet for a king size duvet cover etc…NEVER PUT YOUR DUVET IN THE WASHER!Duvet should always be washed at a professional cleaner! Washing your duvet feather can cause MOLDS!!That’s why you need to put a duvet cover to protect your duvet from getting dirty.You’re not supposed to wash your duvet. ONLY the duvet cover! If you accidentally spill a drink etc bring it to a PROFESSIONAL cleaner!When you first receive it I’ll suggest laying it flat for half an hour and shake it to help it fluff. After you can put it in the dryer at LOW TEMP for 20-30min with tennis balls to remove wrinkles and help the Duvet to fluff up more.BE CAREFUL WITH THE DRYER!Always tumble dry at low temperature! Warm temperatures can cause holes in your duvet!Most of people complaining about bad odour have probably put their duvet in the washer. Of course it will smell like a dirty duck if you got it soaking wet! And the worst part is if it’s not completely well dried moisture will be trapped in it and yes it will cause molds … Eeeww just don’t do it!NOISEFor the crackling sound it’s absolutely normal! The outshell is made that way to prevent feathers for coming out. Even my northern feather duvet that I’ve paid 700$ have that crackling noise it’s just the way its made. There’s probably better options now out there for the noise but let’s be honest here a fluffy duvet under 300$ it’s a really really good deal!** My duvet is a queen size and in the video and my duvet cover is the same size as the duvet. There was sadly no double/full size in this colour. It’s still fluffy but it would’ve been even more fluffy with a double/full size duvet cover. I bought the duvet cover set on Amazon too. Brand Serta Colour burgundy size double/queen “but the measurement are queen size” for 55$ approximately.Hope this helps :)!

I bought this duvet as I’m a hot sleeper and was really excited to try it out.It had a strong and foul chicken coup smell when I first opened the packaging, which persisted after airing it out. I later cleaned it in the washer with a delicate laundry detergent on cold and on the delicate cycle.After it was done it smelled much worse than when I first opened it. I ran a second wash where I used white vinegar and detergent, the smell persisted. I then moved it to dryer and set to the very low setting. I ran 3 cycles to fully dry it out.Once it was dried, the smell was no longer overwhelming but was still there. Definitely not acceptable to sleep under. I left to air out for a few days and tried to use it the night after.While I slept comfortably that night. However, I woke up to the horrible smell the next morning.I wasted a lot of time to make this duvet work but it ultimately failed. I suggest looking elsewhere.Edit: Increased the rating from 1 to 3 stars as customer support was excellent and offered to refund me the cost of the comforter.
