are you finding loose feathers with this comforter?

No there haven't been any. We used it for 3-4 months without a cove. Once the white started to get dingy from hands so we got a duvet and after 2 months there are no loose feathers inside.

I am finding lots of loose feathers all around my floor / room. Every morning when I shake it straight, the small feathers fly everywhere!

We see very,very small fine white feathers coming through a dark duvet cover on my son's bed. we also use it on my daughters bed and since her duvet is light, the feathers don't show. If my son's was light I never would have noticed.

We use it inside a slipcover. That said I don't think so. Pretty warm though. I call it more of a "medium" warmth. Good luck.

lots and lots and lots....have had it for a year now and have it in a hypoallergenic duvet cover that keeps things as small as dust mites from coming out, so keeps them from flying everywhere...HOWEVER today I took it out (outdoors) to wash it and I am covered with down!!!

I have my comforter contained in a duvet, so I don't notice any feathers coming out if there are any. Regardless, I LOVE this comforter. So warm. Maybe too warm in the summer, but in the winter I'm almost immediately warm.

I have only had my duvet for a few months and I haven't had any problems with the feathers comin thru. The only closure the duvet has though, are buttons. Guess it depends how bad yours shed.

It is a little warm. I have a difficult time getting sheets or mattress pads that will cover both the mattress and the feather bed. You are better off using a separate cover made just for the feather bed. I do not have a problem getting stuck by feathers at all. Very comfortable.

I have one and I am not a big fan of dry cleaning down. The chemicals are not good for the feathers. I have a large capacity front load washer that I used with a mild detergent and it came out beautiful. I would not use the sanitize setting on the washer. I also dried it at home on a gentle setting. Next time I will have it professionally laundered, ensuring a mild detergent is used. The feathers get brittle a break from dry cleaning. These comforters last for years if taken care of properly. Just think of the detergent used to clean ducks and shore birds after an oil spill ;-)

Good question. I'll try to answer the best that I can. We have never had any small to large feathers come out, but what we have found is that very small (approximately the size of the lead tip on a pencil) feathers come out regularly. We have limited the unsightliness of this by using a duvet cover. This comforter is not very thick but we found it works great here in the D.C. area where winters range between 0 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. After going through a couple of winters with this comforter, I would still highly recommend it and it still performs and looks as good as it did on the first night we used it. Good question.

The down has not come out of my comforter at all, but I have not washed it and don't plan to. When it needs it, I will have it cleaned. But the cover fabric is a tight weave and I can't imagine anything coming through. I love this comforter, but is very warm so I only use it during the coldest months of the winter.

You need a thicker type cover on real down/feather comforters to keep the feathers from poking through. Polyester is usually preferred on cheaper ones. It can be noisy, but comforters are supposed to be placed inside a duvet which muffles the sound and keeps them cleaner. Machine wash, do not dry clean as the chemicals will damage the feathers/down.

Not at all! It's very comfortable. I had a featherbed topper before this, and that made me warm, but this is just comfortable.

Yes. It's a great mattress topper. Haven't seen a single feather, ever. Or felt one!!!

A down comforter is full of feathers. Depending on the type of feather is going to make a difference in quality. As far as I am aware Siberian goose down is the best, and the reason is the quills (i guess thats what they are called) are soft so you don't experience that feather poking problem. Some people have allergies to feathers, or in general just don't want to deal with it, so they buy alternative comforters. They can be made of different materials, but in my experience, they are always firmer, and usually denser. Some people like that. Also, fill count is going to make a difference. If spending over $100 is a big deal to you like it was to me, I would recommend doing a little research on the specifications of the comforters, and then going to a store and feeling them for what you like. The best deals I have found are on amazon, but you may not want to go into the purchase with a "blind-feel".

So, I really like the blanket, almost say love, but what I don't love about it is that feathers do fly everywhere. Little ones, but that makes it hard to clean up. With my last comforter, I never used a cover bc I didn't like the cover. But with this one, I MUST use a cover or the feathers do get everywhere. No feathers poke through either. Also, the temperature of the cover is good. Cool enough to use in the summer, and warm enough for the winter. So, not really a regret bc the price was right, but as long as you use a cover, I think you will be happy with it!

I have had the comforter for almost 1 year and I have had a few feathers come out but not enough to cause me any concern. The weight of the comforter is perfect in Texas. It is not heavy to overheat me and captures my body heat in the winter weather.

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.

I haven't, but you need to use a big enough dryer to let the comforter move around, can't squish it into a small dryer or it doesn't separate well.

so far.. I haven't experienced anything like that and I've even had to wash it and so far I love it. It's very comfortable and it's keeping up well. I've had comforters like the one you mentioned and I understand how frustrating that can be. Hope this helps!
