Heavy Warmth Goose Feather and Down Oversize Duvet Comforter Insert

I’ve purchased down comforters in the past, from different brands, with no issues but this one caused me to have a horrible allergic reaction. I think there may be an issue in the way that the company treated the feathers. I will not be purchasing this brand in the future. If it weren’t for the allergic reaction I would have definitely rated this higher - it was fluffy, cozy, and kept me warm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was super excited to receive the Heavy Warmth Comforter in full/queen, True North by Sleep Philosophy. It arrived vacuumed sealed in a cute cylindrical tote. Upon opening I was hit with a dirty pond or fish smell mixed with wet dog. I thought it was just me and kept unwrapping. Within minutes the duvet quickly fluffed up and seemed SO cozy. But the smell grew worse. I washed the duvet 5 times. Trying vinegar, washing soda, Lysol disinfectant detergent, Branch Basics (kills mold), and finally asked the internet for solutions. Then washed twice more with dawn dishwashing detergent—supposedly it cuts through the grease of down feathers, which is where the dirty smell originated. I thought I had resolved the smell issue, but after drying the duvet multiple times the smell slightly returned. I left the duvet in my room for a few hours and once reentering I immediately had a migraine from the strong odor. Despite having a medical grade air purifier running in my room. I wasn’t able to sleep under the duvet for obvious reasons, but will say the fabric seemed breathable, lightweight with enough down to stay warm. It washed well and dried even fluffier than it began. If not for the odor I think it would have been so cozy to snuggle under in colder months. I’ve had everything from down coats, duvets, pillows, and more, but have never had a product with this sort of scent. Nor one that caused such an allergic reaction. From reading about the scent, it seems the company did not correctly treat the feathers prior to making their product. For this, it’s an unusable product and I can’t recommend it to anyone, unfortunately. I was so looking forward to snuggling under this duvet all winter and am super disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This comforter will provide some good warth but it's much thinner than I had imagined. I expected it to be very thick and fluffy. You can see the feathers in it as well. You'll need a duvet for it to hide that. I think it makes a good transitional weight comforter, giving you use in the spring and summer. You could use it during the winter but again you'll want to add a duvet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a bit lighter than I thought it would be. It is compressed inside the package so you really have to fluff it up a lot to make it more fluffy. It wasn’t overly hot or heavy which is why I gave it 4 stars I was expecting it be be a bit more heavy. I would also put a duvet on top of it since it is very plain. It is a great base layer to have on the bed and I’m glad I was able to try it for free. I have seen others that seem a bit more heavy and fluffy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will forever be perplexed by items that come vacuum sealed in impossibly small boxes, tightly rolled up. Once I cut into the packaging it immediately started fluffing up and went from “flat and crispy” to fluffy and crispy. It feels like a cloud trapped in a hotel sheet Super warm. Great for kids to make a nest in.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked how warm this comforter is, especially since winter is around the corner. It’s not super heavy or fluffy but it gets the job done! I like that it has feather/down filling instead of that alternative filling. I wish the cover was cotton or a blend of cotton because I think it feels better if you don’t have a cover and I think it moves less in a cover as well when it’s cotton. Other than that, I think it’s overall a solid addition to my bedding set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s very comfortable and warm. It’s very fluffy and cozy. It fit queen size pretty well. The material is very quality. After washing it very soft.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this! I love how crisp the fabric is. It feels cool but the internal feathers keep you super warm. Definitely feels like a hotel bed. I don’t love how you can feel the feathers but with an added duvet on top, I don’t notice those as much.

It feel like plastic and you can feel the goose feathers through the blanket.

Really warm and great quality. Feels like I'm in a hotel bed every night!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this comforter!! It’s durable and soft, keeps me warm all night long! Its aesthetically pleasing and matches my room perfectly. I definitely recommend!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] its really nice it seems durable and pretty big i would say it also feels really well made my only dislike is that its kinda like uncomfortable but its pretty good id say

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent quality and I was surprised how light it was also It’s so soft, plushy and full. It’s so warm and lightweight and so convenient for my next camping trip.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This comforter came in the smallest package! After airing it out and fluffing it, it was still a little stiff. After throwing it into the wash this comforter came out so soft. It’s not filled as much as I thought it would be based on the pictures but it’s a good addition for our guest room for the summer time. I would say it’s “heavy warmth” like their title says. You would definitely need another comforter in the winter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been needing a new comforter and this came just in time! Great quality, looks expensive, and definitely keeps me warm. Perfect for those cold summer nights.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ABSOLUTELY LOVED this comforter it is very comfy and fluffy.looked flat at first but it fluffed out and is very comfortable.put it on as soon as i received

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The things I love: the fabric feels heavier duty. Maybe because of the goose feather fill inside. It needs a thicker shell so it does not poke you. I also loved the color, surprisingly. This is the first time that I had a colored comforter. We usually have a white one but this one in cream is not bad at all. It looks elevated. The things I am okay with: I am okay with the Full/Queen size. Nothing I have noticed that is far different from other same sized comforters. Things that could have improved: As much as it it nice to have a thicker fabric, I wish it was a little bit more soft and cozier. Not that it is bad but it could have improved that aspect of it. I also have an issue with the fill. I wish it was filled a little bit more. There were gaps on the fill and it would have made it better with even just 10% more fill. All in all not a bad product. Those are just the observations that I was able to notice. It feels warm - as advertised.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comes in a very compact packaging and easy to fluff up in dryer. I love the color and got the Queen sized one. Super fluffy and covers while bed greatly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this comforter! It’s super fluffy and airy which makes it nice to lay on! It’s not too heavy but it’s still warm; makes it perfect for the fall/winter. Also love the overall design , it’s modern but still chic. The color is a true cream color and it matches with everything!

This comforter is warm and plush but not as warm as I was expecting for a northern winter. I am happy with my purchase but wish it were warmer.
