Filled with 80% down and 20% feather fiber for just the right amount of fluff, this down duvet is a high quality, ethically sourced product that is suitable for year-round use. It comes in a wide range of dimensions, from a majestic king size to a dorm room-worthy twin.
PureDown contains 93% goose down, but it comes with a much warmer fill power of 800 and baffle-box construction to ensure your comforter is perfectly proportioned with feathers from corner to corner. The pinch-pleated design and 100% cotton shell make it more suitable as a standalone comforter.
For added security, this comforter comes with eight corner tab loops attached, making it easy to attach the cover. That being said, it is made with a 100% cotton cover, so you can use it with the cover as a comforter or duvet insert. Keep in mind that it is filled with 90% duck feathers and 10% goose feathers.
And if you’re allergic to down or want a topper that stays away from animal byproducts, this sub-$50 hypoallergenic comforter has more than 95,000 five-star reviews to its name. The down optional duvet insert is machine washable, so it works well as a duvet insert.
How we chose these comforters
When compiling a list of comforters for this list, we focused on comforters we’d already tested, from Buffy to Boll & Branch, then filled in the gaps with other well-reviewed contenders. Did. For options that we did not personally test, we tried to choose options that had at least 100 reviews (if not thousands), where buyers indicated that their purchase was well done, Was full of warmth and was quite easy to care for.
Across the board, we considered the following factors in our rankings and classifications:
- External Construction: It’s ideal to look for a comforter with square stitching that also has side walls. This is called baffle-box construction, which means each chamber contains the same amount of filler and the side walls keep the filler from moving. A baffle-box comforter will never lie completely flat in one corner while the other is full and puffy. We also considered alternative types of stitching (see Buffy Breeze) that would achieve the same effect.
- Outer Fabric: Soft, high-quality cotton and breathable lyocell help with breathability, so we’ve prioritized items made from these materials.
- Fill power: The higher the fill power, the warmer the comforter will be. Our goal was to select a range of down and down-alternative options that would be suitable for different types of sleepers.
