is the front and back of the comforter stitched together to keep the filling from shifting (especially when washed)?

Yes, it is stitched in a number of places. I haven't washed it yet though, so I can't comment on how well it holds up to washing.

Yes. I will admit that I did additional stitching to ensure that the batting stays in place when I wash it (I am a quilter) -- I have not washed it yet. I think it should be fine the way it is. It would be a shame if there was some shifting during the wash, so if you are concerned you can use large safety pins in the places where it is not stitched and then just removed them after washing.

No stitching; you can feel the filling shifting around and away from the edges.

I've had this comforter for a year and the filling hasn't shifted. It feels like the wool fibers were formed loosely together in a kind of sheet. Not as tight as a blanket, but more like a batting. Definitely does not clump up or shift. The boxes hold the wool in place and there are no cold spots. The filling stays totally even. This is a very high quality comforter in my opinion. I love mine.

Of course yes !! I washed it all ready like 4 times. This is very good comforter! Im recomend it.

I haven't washed it yet, but I imagine it would, but only with cold water and then hang dry. Otherwise, I think it might get damaged, from prior experience with another comforter.

I returned this comforter back to Amazon. It stated that it was true baffle box construction. but the down shifted to the outside edges leaving very little in center where it is most needed!

Not really; I washed mine and the filling in the comforter has been kinda funky and some what mis-shaped since! Wish I hadn't done that one!

Yes it is though I have never done so. It is not as nice. Also the shams are not striped or reversible. The bed sirt is and it might look like too much stripe. The comforter is quite nice and I love it.

Unfortunately, no maker could give that guarantee. My comforter has not shifted at all, infact, not certain why, it is more (puffy, thicker, not sure the correct expression), but I would certainly purchase it again!

I have the full/queen and I washed it in my older Kenmore washer. I washed it on the delicate setting and dried it on the low heat setting. The comforter (and pillow shams) came out just fine.

I have not washed it yet, just put it in my duvet cover and it lays perfectly so far. I have had it for about a month so far.

I'm not sure but if you read my comment I wasn't totally happy with comforter. 2 places on comforter that had been repaired that wasn't on a seam so it's noticeable. It's pretty but not new.

No, but my down comforter doesn't seem to move. As another reviewer wrote, "It does have deep corners."

Yes, there is stitching through all layers. It's not straight lines forming channels, but is more like a quilt where there's a small stitched patch ever foot or so.The other side has the same pattern as the long rectangular pillows and the square pillows with tassles. It's also in the center of the rolled pillow and the lower half of the pillow with the row of dangling beads.This set is absolutely gorgeous. The photos don't do it justice.

Yes- this should be normal. It gives enough room for the comforter to fit when tucked around, at least for me

It does have squares seams to prevent the fill from shifting . It is a beautiful comforter. It does weight 9 lbs. I was to weak to handle it.

Some duvets have ribbon ties in the corners to keep the comforter in place. Mine does not. I just scrunch up the duvet like I would put on a king-sized pillowcase, and pull it up around the comforter. It stays pretty well, but to re-position, just hold by 2 corners and fluff the daylights out of it. If you have a king this takes 2 people. I don't have a problem with the shifting. I guess it depends on whether you move around a lot when sleeping. Good luck!
