There is no fill rating because this is not real down comforter. It does not have feather, instead it has polyester and for this reason it is listed as "down alternative". For real down, you have to look for items that are not listed as "alternative" or search for real down.

It is down, but I don't know if it is goose feather or not. I do love this jacket.

These pillows are goose down, not the same a full feathers. Down pillows, comforters and the like are always softer and extremely less like to have a feather escape. I've had these pillows for aprox 2 weeks now and no evidence of any of the down poking thru. Very very comfortable pillows.

The fill power isn't indicated on the tag and I no longer have the packaging. Not even sure it would have a "fill count" because it is NOT down. It's a poly comforter. Feels more like a thick puffy comforter than down. If you love the feel of down then you might be disappointed like I was initially. But I decided to keep it because of the low price and it is REALLY warm and large. My last down comforter didn't fill in my duvet cover evenly. This one fits fully, verging on too big but it works, is warm, looks and lays nicely on the bed and over the sides, which my last one did not. Down is nicer but for this price this comforter really is a nice alternative to down. It is firm and cushy to the touch. Not soft and fluffy like down. Hope this helps!

The specs say down, but I cant remember ever seeing feathers. Usually with true down products one sees a few feathers that punch through the nylon. That being said, they do keep my feet warm and sure feel like down slippers. I have had these slippers for many years and bought a second pair in anticipation that the first pair will eventually wear out. They havent yet and I have them on all of the time. Down or not, they were a good buy.

It is goose down. And it squishes down very well. My husband uses it and likes it a lot as he always squishes the pillow.

I have not used alternative comforter, but I recommend you that never buy this down comforter from this seller. It is VERY bad and poor quality.

This item is microfiber. I do not know whether this is the same comforter they sell at Target

There is no such thing as cosmic down. "Cosmic" is simply the brand name for this company's bag. In bags we use either duck or goose down. Goose down is only very slightly more insulating per pound than quality duck down, but hugely more expensive. This bag uses duck down. Hint: if the vendor doesn't directly express that it is a goose down bag, then you can assume it is a duck down bag. Unless you're an ultralight backpacker, I'd go with duck down every time. This is a quality bag with great warmth/weight/cost relationship.

I've had other comforters that claimed to be down and they always had feather rails that you could feel this comforter doesn't. It's great!

Jeanie, I can see where White Goose Down Alternative could be confusing but that Alternative word means that something other than goose down is used in the construction/materials of the comforter. 100-Percent Hypo-allergenic means that there are zero ( 0 ) chances out 100 tries (let's call them nights of sleep) that you would be allergenic to the materials in the comforter. Right after that on the same line is says Allergy Free Poly Fiber. Poly fiber is made from Polyester which doesn't cause or contribute to allergies. So there you have it, by reading the description in the listing we can see that there are no feathers used in the construction of this comforter.

the thread count keeps the down in the comforter. It is Siberian down only, no feathers.

I can't tell,you where it's made, but it does state that the down comes from the Siberian goose. We have been very pleased with this comforter. We live in Germany, and it has served us well.
