What is, "white goose-down-alternative," that the comforter is filled with? I take it that this has nothing to do with actual goose down.

Correct, the comforter is filled with 100% microfiber . Which is the alternative filling of goose down.

These are like down pillows in thickness/feel/comfort. Except these are cruelty-free unlike down. Exploiting animals for your own comfort is immoral. There are alternatives out there, like these pillows. Most of the stuff is called "down alternative." But all you have to do is look at what the fill is made of.

The other side is goldish in color. Is it reversible???? Yea...but it wouldn't look too good. Most of the tassels have come off of the one I purchased and it is extremely hard to keep it neatly on the bed. For some reason it just looks messy all the time. I would not purchase this comforter again. Hope this helps to answer your question. It is beautiful in the picture but in real life, it is less than desired.

I purchased one of these comforters and love it. I don't know how you'd really know the actual fiber content - isn't this the same issue anytime you purchase anything? That it's tagged 100% wool, and from a country with a similar economic status to ours is a good sign. What I can say is that if it did have synthetic materials, I think I'd notice because I am highly sensitive to products that don't "breathe" - I sweat under polyester, for instance, so don't wear it. This comforter is excellent.

Sorry, I don't know if they do or not. It was not part of this set. The comforter set is gorgeous though. Got it for our guest room and have received many compliments!

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.

I understood that statement to mean the goose feathers & down are treated with a solution that protects against bacteria etc. So yes, the fill is goose feathers & down. We love our down pad. One of the best items I have ever purchased. We flip it often & cover it with a padded mattress cover. Hope this helps!

The comforter shell is imported and then filled with 100% Hungarian White Goose Down. NO FEATHERS are in this comforter. Thank you for your interest.

China. Really nice comforter if you want something lightweight. At room temp 55F or below, you'll probably need heavier white goose down.

If you want a light weight comforter, I would recommend synthetic. As far as goose down goes it is a good weight, it breaths well, it will keep you warm, but you won't overheat.

It is like the other comforters I have. Frankly I think there is a lot of confusion as to the difference. My chief concern was that it would fit my bed and it did not actually contain down. It does fit , it is warm, it has no down. After receiving it I bought another size and color.

I know it definitely not polyester. Down comforters always have the same material, I believe it is a very heavy cotton. If this is your first down comforter, it is warm but not too warm and keeps you warm all night no matter how cold the room is. I used an electric blanket in Boston until I discovered the down comforter. I love it! Whatever you do, do not machine wash & dry, it needs dry cleaning.

ill do my best to answer , i believe that an alternative one is not actually the real goose down feathers , they are synthetic .

You could put this comforter over a down comforter I suppose, but as adj3ts suggests, it is ideally used as a duvet insert. Also, it has down alternative filler, not actual goose down, so should wash up wonderfully if you follow the washing instructions.

It is a mix of down and the flight feathers and makes a crinkling sound when it moves. I had to put it away for camping because the noise drove me nuts! I had to go out and spend the money for a full down Comforter. So no and no is your answer. Mostly stiff flight feathers.
