Regarding washing... It seems you either get a GREAT comforter or you get a lemon, no middle road. Any suggestions from the owners of a great one???

I will only have mine professionally cleaned. Comforters are not make to be put in a wash machine .

I love this comforter and it has been great for me. I washed mine at the hotel I work at on delicate's and dried it on low cool and it did great!

If you have a low spin cycle on your washer as well as a delicate cycle seems to help with anti-bunching. Good luck :)

i had mine professionally washed before i ever even used it. it looked as good as it did right out of the bag. no loss of the black flocking, either.

You can either get it dry cleaned or wash it at home in your washing machine. However, you have to make sure that clumps are not formed during the process (put tennis balls tied in socks along with the comforter) during drying. It's takes a while for the comforter to dry. You can also dry it in a well ventilated place if possible.

Actually, I would not recommend the washer at all. I think it would ruin the down inside. We often grab the bottom of the comforter and "whip it" to get the down redistributed back to the top of it. I would dry clean it only.

i have a medium weight comforter and for me i find it too warm for the spring and fall. try a lightr wieght that would probably work out best.

Don't dry clean this comforter.I dry-cleaned the comforter and it shrunk.Sleep & Beyond was nice enough to replace the comforter.Unfortunately, there are conflicting instructions on whether to dry clean the comforter. The web site says it is safe to dry clean. Though the company currently says it should only be spot cleaned.We bought it from a local Oakland store, run by the company a couple of years ago.We love the comforter, but don't dry clean it.http://www.sleepandbeyond.com/collection.php

Actually I just received mine last week. Just got out of the wash, and it washes great. I'll be trying to finda green bed skirt. Cream goes well, but not white.or

Hi, Though I ordered this comforter a couple of months ago, I just put it on my bed for the New Year. It looks great. I have not wash it yet. Sorry could not help.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

Hello Joshua, I have not heard of anyone using a regular washer and dryer. I strongly suggest dry clean as to not ruin the comforter in anyway. Sincerely, Erika Starr Designer Living Customer Service 1-888-879-8790 Info@designerliving.com

I washed it once according to the directions, and the comforter ripped in multiple places. I had to call have my washing machine fixed afterward as well.

I returned the comforter after one night so I have not really tried to machine wash it. What I remember is that it said 'Dry Clean' only on the label.

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.

Yes, I was afraid washing would ruin them. Let me know what your friends advise (thanks :) We just keep the covers on them and wash the covers, and air the duvets out in the open air (shade). Use flannel covers for winter and cotton covers for summer. Seems to work fine. Good luck with yours.

It must be dry cleaned. I do not like part because some dry cleaning chemicals always stays with the comforter and I have to breath in all night long. It will be ruined if washed.

I have mine in a duvet and don't plan on washing them for some time yet. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. However, I do love the comforter, especially that it doesn't shift like my real goose down one did.

If the sizes are the same but the prices are different I would purchase the lower priced one. I wish I had a better answer. That's what I would do. It an amazing comforter. You will really like it.
