Materials
Difference between Down and the Down Alternative
Both of these options typically come in a baffle box design, which is basically the way the material is stitched together giving it lift and room for the down to expand and reach its maximum height and fullness to provide evenly distributed warmth. The actual “down” comes from ducks or geese, and there really is no difference between the two. The color of the down will not make a difference either. The down does provide better insulation than other alternatives and it is not as heavy as the other options. However, the down alternative materials are typically less expensive, hypoallergenic, and easier to clean. Consider your personal needs first.
Capacity
Fill Power, Fill Weight
These two things will determine the level of warmth you get from your comforter. The fill power is the measurement of the “loft” or fluff of the down. This is determined by the amount of space each ounce of down consumes. The more space it takes, the higher the fill power number, making the higher number a more fluffy and warm comforter. The fill weight is exactly that, just how much each ounce of down weighs. It does not take a lot of down to work properly, so a small flat looking comforter can actually be just as warm, or more warm, than a big and fluffy comforter with a higher fill weight. Talking the numbers, you would look for a comforter with a 550+ fill power and a fill weight of 60 or less.
Effectiveness
This is a vital piece of information here because if this comforter doesn't do its job well then you're going to be cold, and so what's the point. So, we're looking for a combination of materials, and their ability to hold onto body heat and keep out the cold so we can make sure that they're going to work on those three dog nights that come in January and February.
Size
We'll look for comforters that have a lot of size options so you can make sure that the one you're buying is going to fit all kinds of beds. You don't want your comforter dragging the floor and you definitely don't want it too short so every night turns into a blanket tugging party.
Texture
So sure it'll keep you warm but how does it 'feel.' Does it feel like you're covered in the softest down of a million baby swans (collected humanely of course)? If so then that's the comforter you want. We'll look for outer coverings that are made of materials like high point cotton, or soft slidey synthetics and we're focusing on comfort here as well as functionality. So you can be as finicky and picky as you want, and we've got you covered, literally!
10 Best Comforters
1. LINENSPA
As we all continue to learn, there is much more than the mattress that provides the comfort of your bed. Your sheets, pillows and shams, and even your headboard can have an effect on your overall comfort. LINENSPA prides itself on providing all of your bedding needs at incredibly low prices. This bed clothing is ultra soft and is filled with a hypoallergenic down alternative which means it is washable and safe to throw in the dryer! It has a sewn corner and side loops which gives you more contact points with your duvet cover if you choose to use one.
Hypoallergenic Down Alternative
If you’re concerned about the down in your bedding, the down alternative is an incredible option! It is soft and comfortable and will be a better option for you if you have any allergies. There are several different types of alternative fills and most of them are less expensive and easier to clean than the real down bed clothing. They tend to lay flatter and stay more evenly distributed over time, making them last longer as well. This really can be a win-win even if you’re a die-hard fan of duck or goose down. Technology has made the alternative feel very natural.
Reversible Design
This bed clothing is reversible and has a wide variety of colors on the flip-side. You will be able to choose from more than 8 different color options which will give you the added option of having a different look and feel to your bedroom whenever you need a little change of pace. It is always nice to be able to make small, inexpensive changes to keep the spice in life!
Cost and Value
As aforementioned, LINENSPA is a company that prides itself on providing quality bedding for an incredibly low price. Customers rave about this bed clothing and with the down alternative, corner duvet loops, reversible design, and the box-stitched duvet cover, you are getting a really great product that is well worth its cost. It will keep you warm through the entire year and will be soft and comfortable for many years to come.
2. AmazonBasics Reversible
This beautiful and reversible comforter is incredibly cozy! It is made of polyester microfiber and also filled with polyester. There are a dozen different colors to choose from and can be tossed on your bed either direction giving you the freedom to switch it up at your liking. The diamond-shaped stitching will help keep the filling intact and reduce any mess on the top of the comforter. It is machine washable, please read washing instructions.
Variety of Reversible Colors and Sizes
You can purchase this bedspread in a variety of sizes in order to use it in a child’s room on a smaller bed, or all the way up to a king size bed with a comfortable fit. Comforters are measured to fit mostly on top of your mattress, so if you want it to fall off the edge you will need to order a larger size than your mattress. Another fun aspect is that you can order it in a variety of colors, all of which are reversible with yet another color. I love the freedom of being bold in burgundy one day and pretty in purple another; all with one piece of bedding.
Diamond Shaped Stitching
If you have ever owned a down filled anything, you will know that on occasion those feathers are going to wiggle their way out. Even with a down alternative, you will experience many of those same “downfalls'. However, this unique diamond shaped stitching all across the comforter will help keep all the filler particles in place and reduce the chances of losing small pieces one at a time. It is a unique and efficient system and will ensure longevity in your comforter.
Cost and Value
The cost of this exceptional comforter will surprise you! For all of the extras you get and for as long as this comforter will last, you would seriously expect to pay ten times as much. It is a great price for a remarkable product. Great reviews and great customer service. I love the color options and the reversible throw. I love that the diamond stitching will help keep it all together and evenly distribute the comfort of warmth. I highly recommend this comforter.

This synthetic down comforter is a great option for anyone who can’t deal with down or doesn’t want feathers on their floor from time to time. This comforter is thick, it’s incredibly warm and it comes in all kinds of sizes. The perfect comforter for a cold night.
Synthetic Down
Let’s face it, when down goes bad, it goes really bad. So, if you have even slight allergies or if you just don’t want feathers all over the house then you want to go with polyfill which is the down that makes this comforter work. It’s warm and fluffy and it works.
Box Stitching
We’re fans of box stitching because it keeps your down comforter from clumping at the top or bottom of your comforter. And it also makes it much easier to clean and to store. And this comforter has nice box stitching in a cool sideways pattern that not only works well but looks great.
Cost and Value
We love the price on this comforter. It’s a well-priced nice comforter that’s going to keep you warm on the coldest nights.

It has an astonishing fill power of 750+ with a 50-ounce fill weight and is guaranteed 100% pure goose down. But don’t think it stops there! As it states in its name, it is also an amazing 1200 thread count cover with a superior baffle box design. It is all you could possibly want in a down comforter, and probably even more.
Baffle Box with Superior Design
The baffle box is designed to keep the down where it needs to be, in specific chambers which allows it to expand. When the down can expand to its maximum loft heat is distributed more evenly and any cold spots are eliminated. The 1200 thread count Egyptian cover also helps hold the baffle boxes in their spot, so there will be little shifting. It comes with corner loops to hold the cover in place and the double needle stitching will help prevent down leaking.
Amazing Fill Weight and Fill Power
Fill power in a bed clothing is the measurement of how much space a single ounce of down requires. The more space it takes, the higher the fill power. The higher the fill power, the lighter and fluffier your comforter will be. This bed clothing boasts an incredible 750+, which is well above standard (550) and the baffle box design allows the down to reach its maximum loft. Very impressive. The fill weight is the number of ounces your bed clothing weighs. The more down that is put in, the more warmth your bed clothing will provide. When you combine the two of these things you get a warmth level that is unsurpassed by other brands.
Cost and Value
When looking for that elusive and perfect bed clothing for you, it is important to remember you get what you pay for.

When you become serious about purchasing your perfect down-filled bed clothing, you are going to become very familiar with the terms “baffle box,” “fill weight,” and “fill power.” All of these things together determine how warm and how stable your bed will be.
