does the filling feel more like cotton in a regular comforter or does it feel more like feathers (the crinkly feeling you get from real down)

Very soft feeling and fluffy, I have had down for many years and now have 4 down alternative comforters. Warmth, durablility and comfort is great

The inside feels like a puffy cloud, like a regular comforter. We love ours and have bought a few of these.

The filling isn't actually down but a synthetic material that has warmth & feeling like down

It has a more flannel feel than cotton. I like it much better than cotton as well!

It doesn't feel like it. It is really soft feeling and doesn't mush up like a feather pillow would. It seems more like a throw pillow. I love the fabric. Hope this helps.

It feels like a mixture of down alternative with a touch of gel in the material. I say this because when you move to an area not already warm from your body it has that sensation. I love mine and have never slept better. This thing is very warm once your body heat has warmed it up and I need very few covers, even on the coldest night. Hope this helps!

It's more cotton-like. It fits the bed well, but it doesn't provide a lot more comfort and a sheet does, just an FYI

Here are some facts I found, as we had the same question. Fill power The higher the fill power, the better the quality of down. Fill power is the space, in cubic inches, that 1 ounce of down fills. Down with high fill power is made of larger, stronger clusters from mature geese. These clusters fill more space with less weight, providing loftier down that's more breathable and durable. Fill power of 500 is good. Between 500 to 600+ is considered excellent. Fill weight This measures the actual mass of down in ounces. The heavier the weight, the warmer the comforter. But always keep in mind fill power. For example, a lightweight comforter with high fill power can be warmer than a heavy comforter with low fill power. I called the seller and found out that all 3 comforters have a different weight in ounces...even though they are not stated on the item description. He said he has 3 levels, ranging from 24oz (Queen) through 36oz.

They are medium fill, but in my experience the feathers inside have a tendancy to push out and cause the pillow to be uncomfortable. Cheers.

I feel like polyester, is not bad but I wanted 100% cotton...that sound like a crunch. However, it is warm and comfortable.

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 like sateen, not so silky it slides around in a cotton duvet. As a side note, my husband and I both love this comforter!!

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.

No, no crinkly plastic feel. I just went and rolled on it again for good measure. I forget it's even there until I start taking off my sheets for laundering.

Because it is polyester and not cotton, I find that it doesn't breathe that well. I tend to push it off myself during NC summer nights because I get sweaty. However, it isn't as heavy as most comforters you'd find, and I really like it!

No, I don't believe so. It's more like a down alternative feel similar to feathers. Very soft but no gel bead or foaminess feel.

Yes, I agree that it feels firm, but not in a rock-hard way. You can feel it begin to conform to you. If you don't like firmness, try softening with a mattress pad that is lofty, or a pillow top, or a feather bed.
