Why is this so reasonable in price, when most wool duvets are $250 and up? Is it lesser quality than those?

I think if you go to a specialty bedding store they could inform you why certain wool products cost more than others...for instance-this comforter doesn't really come with any assurance its from a specific breed or region (other than Australia) or sustainably or organically raised... so maybe with other comforters, those assurances drive the cost up. I just paid 385 for a 4" thick wool mattress pad from oregon from sustainably raised, organic oregon sheep. Its great too. This comforter really is a fantastic buy-it really is a good quality and so much better than down! I think you could easily spend more for something that performs the same-but why do that?

I can't speak to the more expensive wool covers. I can only say that this one has lived up to what I expected and more. We had a very cold winter this year and I couldn't have been more happily warm and toasty. It is light weight--better than the feather blanket I was using. It doesn't have the hot spots of a feather blanket. It is uniformly warm and delightful. I was thrilled to find it at such great price. I've never owned one that cost more, but this one has totally lived up to my expectations and then some. I know sometimes you have to pay more for quality, but in this case, I think I got a great bargain. A cover that costs less and does more than I expected. I hope this helps.

What I received is a very nice, basic comforter with no flaws in construction. Very warm, nice evenly distributed fill, good quality stitching and nice smooth all-cotton shell fabric. I would expect higher end pieces to use higher-end wool; for $250+ I would want a guarantee of sustainable/humane farming practices, and to know what breed/s the wool came from. For the price, this is an exceptionally warm and cozy blanket with nice heft and drape. Just a good deal as far as I can tell.

Not sure about the other ones but this comforter is very warm for the weather we have here in OR.

Also being a consumer, I would not be positive of what the actual differnce may be; but I can tell you that when I buy someting I am a bit of a "Scrooge". I am very miserly. It is not that I do not buy quality, nor that I always buy the cheepest. Cheep means something costs less but that it also may be made cheep. That is a bad thing. So, it is that I always serch for the best quality with the least amount spent. That being said, this 288-Disc CD/DVD Vinyl Carrying Case is what I found to be of the best quality, with the most adavantages, for the best price. The model selling for $6 will most likely give you $6 less, or even more likely give you less quality than for which was paid. For example, have you ever bought something for say $5 and once you got it you found that it was not even worth $1? This 288-Disc Carry Case is worth every cent and more that was paid. You won't be sorry.

I trow away all paper that came together with that blanket . Only thing I remember that this company in CA. I'll look for the name of the company and I'll let you know. One more thing about that duvet it is nice , but the wool indide shifts from edges to the center after a while use.

I'm using it now and it's very comfortable to use. It doesn't feel like a heavy wool blanket smothering the crap out of me while I sleep. It's comfy and keeps me at an ok temperature using this fall weather. It isn't light weight and has some weight to it but it's not uncomfortably bulky. It's like the perfect comforter (I feel like Goldilocks when I described this lol) I hope this helps!

Hi :) The tag says it's a minimum of 75% down; I've never even seen a real feather come out of this thing so I figure it's closer to 100%. I'm not sure of the thread count (700 fill power does not equal thread count, does it?), but it's tight enough that I rarely see down come out of it, so if that's the concern, hopefully that answer will work until we get a more definitive one. I put mine in the washer on cold/gentle sometimes and it has come through just fine, so I'm going to guess it's washable. I've had mine for about a year. Mine is not as fluffy and full as the one in the picture, but with a duvet cover it gets me through the winter up here in the Pacific Northwest just fine, and it is even nice in the summers.

I believe they are making a comparison to the 'feel of the material'. It feels similar, and although the quality is probably far from the same, I have had my sheets for 12 months and so far so good (no tears or obvious wear).

I have found the quality very good. We have had it in our master bedroom for several months and have not experienced any problems. The fabric color was not exactly as I wished - not as gray - more taupe-ish gray mixed with a heather of other colors. But it blends with my furnishings.

The duvet is in the guest bedroom so not used a lot. When I make up the bed it seems okay to me. Feels nice.

If this comforter isn't quite like the hotel quality in terms of getting the most fluff, where do you buy the high end hotel quality down comforters? I'm not too concern about the warmth or how heavy it is, what I'm looking for is the fluff and softness of the material. I don't want the comforter to look flat on my bed and I wouldn't cover it up with a duvet cover. I like the white classic look, the point in getting this type of comforter is because of how it looks I wouldn't cover it up even though white is hard to take care of.

If cost is a concern, then by all means get cheaper if you know the quality is similar; to each their own. I personally think these were worth it for the price :).

I agree. This is very odd. I'm buying a queen and cutting it down, I think. Why pay more for less product?

Only buy this mattress if you want a GREAT sleep at a very reasonable price. I am sure you can get just as good of a mattress for $3000 as well. If you are curious about the differences between the high-priced and lower-priced foam mattresses, you should check out a website called sleeplikethedeadDOTcom - it has a lot of very interesting information, and I found it to be quite objective. By the way, I absolutely LOVE my Sleep Innovations mattress, and plan on buying another one.

Depends on what you consider overfilled. It is thicker than a comforter but thinner than what I would consider a luxury stuffed comforter. For the money, it's a great deal. I have had mine for almost 3 years and it has held up well. It washes well and it hasn't gotten lumpy or flat (which usually happens with these types of comforters). The major plus is that it is synthetic so you can wash it. Hope this helps! :-)

I've seen exactly this flatware the same brand the same quality in BedBathandBeyond but separately. The say that it's 18/10 for sure. I touched it - it looks and feel really great quality - polished and white. $2 a piece. But here it says that it's 18/0. I don't know what to do :(I think about to buy it - but not sure about official quality.

I've never used a wool comforter so I can't compare to that, but I did get rid of a down one after getting my first silk comforter. Down is way too hot and smothering for me. Silk breathes wonderfully. I just got this one in fall to replace my old (different brand) one which fell apart after 15 years of constant use. Like the last one, this will be in use year round, adding or subtracting a blanket depending on the season.

Here's what I'll tell you. I went back and forth with what set of furniture to purchase. Eventually I took the chance with the less expensive of many I researched. Am I happy with it?... yes, because I chose the less expensive I can not be over critical. So, is the fabric more stuff than a more expensive set?...yes. But for me and my family it's ok for now. I am happy with the set but if you're expecting the same quality as a $3000 set, don't. I'm not even 100% sure what kind of fabric I got with my set but I know I didn't alter anything from the order either, so whatever the set generally comes with is what I have. Hope this helps.

Well, don't know the type of comforters you have bought in the past, but this one seems to be of good quality. Double stitched around the sides and single in the middle. Heavy but not too heavy. I would recommend it.
