Best Down Comforters

The Brooklinen Down Comforter is lightweight and can be used year-round instead of switching it out each season. Shoppers have their choice of lightweight, which is better for hot sleepers and warmer climates, all-season, which is slightly warmer but still breathable, and ultra-warm, which is designed for extra weight and coziness.

The 100% cotton shell has a sateen weave with a light sheen. Cotton is highly breathable and encourages air circulation throughout the comforter, which helps dissipate heat and keep sleepers comfortable.

The down cluster fill varies depending on the comforter’s weight, and is ethically sourced from Europe as well as Hutterite Farms in Canada. The lightweight Brooklinen Down Comforter is filled with 650 fill power down, while the all-season version is filled with 700 fill power down, and the ultra-warm version has 750 fill power down. The baffle box construction keeps the down fill evenly distributed and prevents the shifting or clumping of the down clusters.

Additional maintenance is required to keep the Brooklinen Down Comforter looking its best, and airing it outside can help the down clusters maintain their loft. Purchasers can also fluff the comforter in the dryer with no heat. Any small spills or stains should be spot cleaned. Larger stains will require professional dry cleaning, which can reduce the lifespan of the down comforter. A duvet cover is recommended to protect the comforter and the Brooklinen Down Comforter is designed with corner loops that help keep the comforter in place inside of the cover.

The Brooklinen Down Comforter is produced in sizes twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California king. Brooklinen offers a 365-day sleep trial, so purchasers can put the Down Comforter to the test for all four seasons. The comforter is covered by a lifetime warranty.

Quince’s Premium Down Comforter offers a luxurious feel at an affordable price. Shoppers looking for quality materials on a budget may want to consider this comforter.

A cover made of 100% cotton encases the comforter is naturally breathable to keep sleepers cool in warmer months. Meanwhile, the sateen weave has a silky feel that drapes closely to the body to help insulate in colder months. You can also choose between two weight options: all-season and lightweight. Hot sleepers or people living in warmer climates may prefer the lighter option, while the all-season is best for shoppers seeking a comforter to use year-round.

The comforter contains white down with 650-fill power, which is a mid-range fill power that should keep hot sleepers cool throughout the night. A sewn-through construction also ensures that the fill stays evenly distributed. The comforter is fully machine washable. Quince recommends washing in cold water on a gentle cycle and drying on the lowest setting. Customers can choose from three sizes: twin, full/queen, and king/California king.

Quince offers free ground shipping on all orders. Shoppers can try out the Premium Down Comforter with a lengthy 365-day trial.

Boll & Branch’s Down Duvet Insert is a high-end option with a high-quality design and sustainable materials to match. This insert boasts an International Down Standard certification, ensuring that the down is produced with animal welfare in mind. Customers can also choose from three weight options, depending on their local climate and sleep temperature preferences.

The insert has a shell made from 100% organic cotton, which is naturally breathable and soft to the touch. Down tends to trap heat more than other fill materials, but the cotton helps reduce heat buildup to regulate temperature. The corners of the shell have small loops to secure the insert to a duvet cover and prevent shifting. The fill consists of lofty, 650 fill-power white down. Baffle-box stitching keeps the fill evenly distributed, resulting in a plush feel across the surface that resists bunching at the feet.

Lightweight, midweight, and ultraweight options are available. Hot sleepers or those living in warmer climates may prefer the lightweight option. The midweight option is ideal for those seeking an all-season comforter. People who tend to run cold at night or live in a colder climate may opt for the ultraweight.

Customers can choose between full/queen and king/California king sizes. The insert is machine-washable, but two drying cycles are recommended to remove all moisture. Boll & Branch provides free ground shipping to all 50 states, and the company allows you to return the Down Duvet Insert within 30 nights of the original delivery date.

Silk & Snow’s Down Duvet Insert combines the insulation from down and the breathability of cotton to create a product perfect for year-round use. It also comes in two weights, all-season and lightweight, so that customers can choose their desired insulation.

The duvet insert is filled with 600-fill power Canadian duck down for a luxuriously plush feel. It insulates efficiently during colder months, while the cotton in the cover helps regulate temperature during warmer months. The cotton is smooth to the touch and should be comfortable for those with sensitive skin. Customers wanting a heavier insert to stay warm during the winter may opt for the all-season option. Hot sleepers or those living in warmer climates may prefer the lightweight option for minimal insulation.

Silk & Snow does not recommend machine washing the duvet insert. Instead, spot clean for small messes and dry clean for a deep clean. The company suggests using a machine-washable duvet cover to protect the insert. The insert comes in three sizes: twin/twin XL, full/queen, and king/California king.

Along with free shipping to the contiguous U.S. and provincial Canada, Silk & Snow offers a 100-night sleep trial. If you are not satisfied with the product, you can return it for a full refund. The Down Duvet Insert comes with a 1-year warranty.

Few bedding materials can match the decadent plushness of real goose down. Quince’s Luxe Goose Down Comforter contains down with a fill power of 700, ensuring an exceptionally lofty feel, and a cotton sateen shell provides additional softness. The cotton is smooth enough to soothe people with sensitive skin, and the fabric’s natural breathability helps offset the down’s heat-retaining tendencies.

You can choose from two designs for the comforter. If you’re an exceptionally hot sleeper or you reside in a place prone to extreme heat or humidity, the lightweight design should allow you to sleep cool most of the year. The all-season design is a bit thicker and heavier, making it better suited to locales with more temperate weather. Both designs are quilted with sewn-through baffles and double-stitched borders to evenly distribute the fill.

Corner loops enable you to secure the comforter to a duvet cover. While technically machine-washable, you may need commercial-grade appliances to accommodate the comforter. You also have the option to dry clean. Twin, full/queen, and king/California king comforters are available, all of which are oversized to ensure plenty of coverage.

The Luxe Goose Down Comforter is affordably priced compared to many competing inserts, and Quince offers free ground shipping for U.S. orders. The company’s 365-night trial period is one of the longest in the online bedding industry, giving you plenty of time to sleep with the comforter and decide whether it’s right for you.

Part of Pacific Coast’s Hotel collection, the Down Grand Loft Comforter epitomizes the timelessly urbane look and feel of hotel-style bedding. A box-stitch design with wide baffles and oversize dimensions ensures a lofty feel, even fill distribution, and plenty of coverage for you and your partner. Twin, queen, and king sizes are available, and the latter two come equipped with corner loops for attaching a duvet cover.

The fill consists of proprietary Hyperclean down clusters. The down is washed at least eight times to remove potential allergens. As an extra precaution, Pacific Coast backs each purchase with a 30-night “allergy-free warranty” to ensure you don’t experience symptoms. This is especially helpful if you aren’t sure whether you are allergic to down. The shell is pure cotton with a 230 thread count to ensure consistent breathability, and the comforter has a thin profile that makes it ideal for year-round use.

Approachable pricing and free shipping within the contiguous U.S. make the Hotel Down Grand Loft Comforter a good option for shoppers with limited budgets. In addition to the allergy-free warranty, your purchase includes a standard trial period that runs for 30 nights.

One of three designs available for the Brooklinen Down Comforter, the Ultra-Warm option is packed with plush fill to ensure heavy-duty warmth and insulation when you need it most. Down clusters and feathers make up the sumptuous fill, and a cotton sateen shell adds to the luxuriously soft design.

A fill power of 750 means the comforter feels remarkably lofty. The comforter’s baffle boxes are sewn through — this helps keep the fill evenly distributed, so there shouldn’t be any bothersome clumping or shifting during the night. Tie closures along the perimeter allow you to secure the comforter to a duvet cover. Brooklinen sells a matching cover if you want to bundle your purchase and save some money.

Full/queen and king/California king sizes are available. Due to the large size and heft, you should avoid machine-washing because this can damage both the comforter and your machine. Spot clean as needed if stains occur and arrange for dry cleaning on a semi-annual basis.

All orders within the contiguous U.S. include free shipping and a generous 365-night trial. If you aren’t satisfied with your Brooklinen Down Comforter – Ultra-Soft during this time frame, you may return it for a full refund minus a $10 processing fee.

Lightweight down comforters are usually best suited for warm or humid weather, while heavier comforters provide much-needed insulation in chillier climates. On the other hand, an all-season comforter offers a balance of loft and airflow to help you sleep soundly throughout the calendar year. The medium-weight LaCrosse Down Comforter from The Company Store is a prime example. The comforter weighs 35 ounces in a queen size, so it won’t feel too light during colder times of the year, but a breathable cotton cover prevents you from overheating when the temperatures rise.

If you’re in the market for a different style of comforter, you can choose from three additional weights. The “light” option – 27 ounces in a queen size – offers minimal insulation and sleeps quite cool. This may be the best option for people who reside in hot places or sweat in their sleep. The “extra” and “ultra” weights provide the most loft and warmth. Either of these weights should keep you sufficiently cozy in frigid conditions.

All versions of the comforter are constructed with 75/25 down and feather fill encased in a shell of cotton twill. A certification from the Responsible Down Standard ensures the ducks are treated humanely during each step of the plumage extraction process. The shell fabric is fairly durable compared to other cotton weaves like percale or sateen, and its smooth hand-feel should feel comfortable for people with sensitive skin. Perimeter piping and sewn-through baffle boxes keep the fill evenly distributed and help prevent it from escaping.

The entire comforter can be washed and dried in household machines, though The Company Store recommends using a front-loading washer to avoid damaging both the comforter and the machine. Five sizes are available, all of which correspond with standard mattress dimensions. You can also choose from more than 20 different colors, ranging from whites and neutrals to earth tones and bright shades.

The LaCrosse Down Comforter’s price depends on which weight and size you select. The Company Store offers free ground shipping for all orders in the contiguous U.S. of $50 or more, including all versions of the comforter. Each purchase is backed by a 90-night trial period and a lifetime guarantee.
