How long do I have to air/fluff this comforter out before I put the duvet on it and enjoy it? :)

I used it right out of the bag and it was good for me. Some people wash it and dry it, but it worked from day 1 for me.

I tend to get hot really easily and this comforter is very warm. It is quite puffy and I can't sleep under it yet. It looks really nice on the bed, but it is very warm to me.

I absolutely love this duvet, however I have not had to wash it yet. I have a friend who owns a dry cleaning business and that's what I plan to do when it's time.

I wash my down in a large front load washing machine with low suds detergent cool temp. Dry on medium to fluff back up. But a duvet cover keeps it clean much longer.

I have 4 of these and I have washed them. Use cold water if they are not very dirty and a mild detergent. I used a small amount of vinegar as the rinse agent. You have to make sure that you thoroughly dry the comforter. Use very low heat setting on the dryer or hang outside if you live in a dry climate. My comforters did shrink a little, but they did so evenly and it was because I used warm water for the wash setting. These are wonderful comforters, I will never go back to down. They are so comfortable and well made and they get even softer after washing. You don't have to wash them very often, use sunshine and fresh air for the majority of the cleaning. Hope this helped? BTW: I have a front load washer - I think it is a bit gentler than the top loaders.

I intend to. It's really a great comforter for the price. The one I received was not thin at all, as per the other two people remarking. It's full, fluffy and warm.

dear, you do not need to put a duvet over it ,the silk is more than 2 lb,and all the silk comforter is about 6 lb

i've tried it before. sometimes it works - sometimes it drips water because the head of the steamer istoo low. if there was a way that someone could hold the comforter vertical while you steamed it would probably work better. personally, i'd take it to a laundromat - lightly dampen the fabric (if it's ok with water) and tumble it for about 10 minutes. i haven't been to a laundromat in decades, but i remember thattheir dryers were much larger than a household dryer.

If you dont put a cover on it..you might sweat because the comforter is micro fiber and not cotton or a cotton blend. Suggest that you buy a lightweight duvet cover made out of cotton or cotton blend. Other than that it is very lightweight.

Yes, it is very fluffy.... Mine is also in a duvet, I fluff it up when I make the bed in the morning. The duvet will definitely keep the fluffiness down a little. but you can certainly tell you have a down comforter on your bed even in a duvet. This comforter is everything and more. Been using it since the colder weather and can't believe how warm it is!! Please do not hesitate to purchase....

I use a comforter over mine, but I sometimes find it increases the heat too much. Not a problem, just an observation.

I washed it in my laundry machine and it was just fine. I dried it it on tumble dry low and it was still a lil damp so I let it air dry, because I didn't want to over heat the padding in the comforter

This duvet has baffle-box construction, not sewn-through construction; baffle-box is better in my opinion as you don't get cold spots at the seams. Whether it's open or closed baffle-box I don't know, but I always fluff up my duvets at least once a week anyway, and this keeps the down from shifting around. It's a lovely duvet and wonderfully light and cozy!

I put mine in the dryer (washed before putting on the bed) and didn't have any problems with it. I made sure that it was on low heat and was only in there for about 25 minutes. It didn't need more time than that.

Long term. I just moved it from a double bed whet it hasn't been used for the last couple of years onto my queen and I'm happy to report that it is just as fluffy once I fluffed it up, as the day I purchased it.

I have had the topper a couple weeks. So far, it isn't too warm. I have an older mattress and the topper gives my bed just the right fluffiness...not too much and not too little. I can understand the concern of the bed being too warm. I think sheets that are cooler to the touch would make the difference. I also purchased a duvet insert. I chose the medium fill. This may be too warm in the summer. If it is, I may try a different cover before I invest in another duvet. Hope this helps!

There is a style that looks the same and is a comforter set. If what you have is very thin, it is the duvet cover and should have a zipper on one of the long sides. The zipper does not run the entire length, only about 2/3s. It takes some work to get the comforter inside but gets easier with practice.
